#203 - Who Said You Had To Be Perfect To Be Well? With Dr. Kim Howes If you've ever thought, “I'm not feeling my best because I'm not doing all the things right,” this episode is going to hit. Because somewhere along the way, a lot of high-capacity people accepted the idea that wellness equals doing all the things - just right. Perfect routines. Perfect mindset. Perfect food. Perfect supplements. Perfect activity. Perfect body.  And that? That's exhausting. And... It's a lie. In this episode of Pretty Well, I sit down with Dr. Kim Howes to unpack the quiet pressure so many of us carry: the belief that feeling great requires us to be perfect. And we get very honest about how that belief is keeping you stuck in cycles of over-functioning, analysis paralysis, and never quite feeling like you're “there.”  This is not a fluffy “just love yourself more” conversation. It's nuanced. Grounded. Practical. And if you're someone who does all the right things but still feels like you're failing at them? You're going to feel very seen. In This Episode, We Cover: [02:10] The Real Roots of Perfectionism  Dr. Howes breaks down how perfectionism isn't about high standards — it's often about protection. Protection from rejection. Criticism. Not feeling enough.  You'll start to recognize how this pattern may have quietly shaped your relationship with food, productivity, health, and even rest. [07:45] The Hidden Cost of “Doing Everything Right” We talk about the mental load of constantly trying to optimize yourself — and why it creates more nervous system activation than progress.  If you've ever thought: “Why am I still tired?” “Why doesn't this feel easier?” “Why do I feel behind even when I'm ahead?” This section will hit. [14:30] When Wellness Becomes Another Performance There's a difference between supporting your health and performing your health. We unpack how wellness culture can subtly reinforce the idea that you are only as good as your discipline. And how that belief undermines self-trust over time. [21:55] Self-Compassion (Without the Eye Roll) Not the soft, vague version. The evidence-based, nervous-system-regulating, behavior-changing version.  Dr. Howes explains why self-compassion actually increases accountability and follow-through — instead of making you complacent. This is the part most high achievers misunderstand. [29:40] How to Interrupt the “Never Enough” Loop We get practical here. What to say to yourself in real time. How to catch the inner critic before it runs the meeting. How to build standards without building shame. Small shifts. Big relief. Why This Episode Matters Because if you secretly believe: I should be further by now I shouldn't struggle with this If I were stronger, I'd have figured it out …then perfectionism is likely running more of your life than you realize. And the irony? The more you chase perfect wellness, the further you drift from actually living the life you love. This conversation isn't about lowering your standards. It's about removing the internal pressure that's keeping you tense, reactive, and quietly dissatisfied — even when you're doing everything “right.” If this episode resonates, share it with someone else who holds themselves to impossible standards. And if you're ready to stop performing wellness and actually feel amazing — this is where to start.

Today's guest is Jade Howes, Brand Marketing Lead for Little Freddie and an experienced marketer who parented through different corporate environments. In this raw and honest conversation, Jade dives into the difficult and often isolating journey of working motherhood. She shares her experience navigating formal and informal support systems at both a massive corporate business (Unilever) and a smaller, founder-led company (Little Freddie).Jade talks candidly about the fear and "self-inflicted" anxiety around pregnancy announcements early in her career, confronting the "stigma against young mums," and the huge challenges of returning to a restructured, remote work environment on the literal first day of lockdown. She also shares the deeply isolating experience of managing Hyperemesis Gravidarum during her second pregnancy and the lack of support and understanding for this "crippling condition."Despite the hardship, Jade reveals the profound, almost "oxymoronic" truth: facing these challenges created a "powerhouse of a skillset" that ultimately fuelled her professional confidence and drive.We also dive into:The difference between formal support in large corporates and the "freedom of expectation" in smaller businesses.Why the internal pressure and fear of judgement were tougher than any reality at work.How enduring Hyperemesis Gravidarum became a tipping point for self-belief.The "Phoenix Imposter Syndrome" and the continuous, complex web of "mum guilt."This episode is a must-listen for anyone who understands that parenting and career success is less about "having it all" and more about muddling through a "whole hot mess."As mentioned in the episode, for support regarding Hyperemesis Gravidarum, here is the link to the charity: Pregnancy Sickness Support

Ghost, part 1 — When it comes to Christians and the Holy Spirit, many churches fall into two extremes. There are some churches who overemphasizes the gifts of the Spirit leading to disorder, chaos and viral Instagram reels. And there are some churches who underemphasize the help of the Holy Spirit leading to exhaustion, burnout and minimal kingdom impact. During this collection of talks, we will develop a Biblical theology for the ministry of the Holy Spirit and answer some important questions: “Who is the Spirit?”, “What does He do?”, “How are we filled with the Spirit?”, “How are we empowered by the Spirit?” and “How do we effectively exercise the gifts of the Spirit?”

In this episode of the BlomCast I speak to economic historian Anton Howes. The question is as simple as the answer is complex: Why did the Industrial Revolution not happen in ancient Rome or China, but in Britain? And why not earlier? Together we delve into the complexities of the Industrial Revolution, exploring why it occurred in Britain and the various factors that contributed to this pivotal moment in history. We discuss the unlikely path of England towards industrialization, the impact of demographic changes, the enclosure movement, and the crucial role of knowledge and ideas in fostering innovation. The conversation also touches on technological developments in the 1600s, environmental consequences, and the significance of capital and investment in driving change. Ultimately, we reflect on the mentality of improvement that characterized this era and its relevance to understanding historical turning points. And what was the role played by the improving mentality Anton speaks about?Support the show

Are the Akashic Records a fixed library of fate… or are they alive and being written in real time?In this powerful conversation with Alicia Isaac Howes, we explore a perspective that shifts everything: What if we are not just reading the Akashic Records  but actively co-writing them through our free will?For years, the Records have been described as an energetic archive of past, present, and future timelines. But what happens when we understand that the “future” is not fixed  and that our choices, awareness, and embodiment are imprinting the field moment by moment?This conversation invites you to step out of fate-based thinking and into embodied sovereignty.You are not here to simply access information. You are here to participate in creation.The Records are not static. They are living. And you are part of the pen.Connect with Alicia:Website: https://www.yoursoulstory.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yoursoulstory/

GRAY AREAS, part 3 — Do you often wonder what God thinks about drinking, vaping, gambling, tattoos, country music, TikTok, AI, LGBTQ+, chewing tobacco, living together unmarried, and many others areas of life? Many times we are tempted to classify these as “gray areas”. Gray is a combination of two totally opposite and distinct colors: black and white. If the Bible does not directly address a specific topic, how can we be clear on how God wants us to behave? Follow along our message series, Gray Areas, as we discuss some relevant issues and how we can handle them from a Biblical world view.

Why do so many successful leaders still feel stuck, disconnected, or self doubt, even when things look good on paper?In this solo episode, I explore how senior leaders, founders, and leadership teams can build self-trust by listening to their three intelligence centres: head, heart, and gut, especially when making difficult decisions or designing a life that truly fits.This reflection draws on my work with CEOs and leadership teams, alongside my own journey of learning to trust myself beyond logic, external validation, and “what I should do.”This episode is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and reconnect with the internal signals that guide brave leadership, aligned decision-making, and sustainable success, so you can lead, decide, and live with more courage and clarity.00:00 – Why so many successful leaders still feel disconnected02:15 – Courage starts with listening, not confidence05:10 – The three intelligence centres every leader has08:30 – The Head: clarity, logic, and the overthinking trap12:40 – The Heart: values, emotion, and what really matters17:20 – The Gut: instinct, timing, and quiet courage22:10 – What happens when one centre dominates your leadership26:30 – Designing a life that actually feels like yours30:40 – Simple questions to build self-trust in decisions35:10 – A closing reflection on choosing courage differentlyReflection Questions for Leaders• Which intelligence centre do I default to under pressure?• What has my gut been trying to tell me that I've rationalised away?• Where am I living a version of success that looks right — but feels wrong?• What would a 10% more courageous decision look like right now?Don't miss out on this powerful episode which can help your leadership  and personal development.

What is the role of solitude in Christian history? Medievalist Hetta Howes comments on the allure of enclosure, how seeking solitude supports community, and what these ancient lives reveal about our modern search for connection.“Even those moments of solitude that she's carving for herself are surprisingly sociable.”This episode is part 1 of a 5-part series, SOLO, which explores the theological, moral, and psychological dimensions of loneliness, solitude, and being alone.Medieval Anchoresses and Women Mystics sought a life of solitude with and for God—what about their vocation might illuminate our perspectives on loneliness, isolation, and solitude today?In this episode, Hetta Howes joins Macie Bridge to explore the extraordinary lives of medieval women mystics, including Julian of Norwich and Marjorie Kempee. Drawing from her book Poet Mystic Widow Wife: The Extraordinary Lives of Medieval Women, Howes illuminates how these women lived in literal and spiritual solitude—sometimes sealed in stone anchorages, sometimes carving sacred space in the midst of family and community. Together they consider the physical and spiritual demands of enclosure, the sociable windows of anchorages, and the simultaneous human longing for both solitude and companionship. Across the centuries, these women invite us to think anew about loneliness, vocation, and the need for community—even in devotion to God.Helpful Links and ResourcesPoet Mystic Widow Wife: The Extraordinary Lives of Medieval Women – Hetta HowesJulian of Norwich, Revelations of Divine Love (Penguin Classics)The Book of Margery Kempe (Oxford World's Classics)Episode Highlights“An anchorage is a small cell, usually joined to a church… and the idea was that you would never leave that place alive again.”“Sometimes you do come across these things and you're like, oh, maybe the cultural consciousness was so different that they had a different language for loneliness.”“Marjorie frames herself as a figure who is constantly looking for connection—sometimes finding it, but often being rejected in really painful ways.”“Even those moments of solitude that she's carving for herself are surprisingly sociable.”“What I've learned from them is the importance of community—that even solitary professions absolutely rely on other people.”About Hetta HowesHetta Howes is a Lecturer in Medieval and Early Modern Literature at City St. George's, University of London. She specializes in the literature of the Middle Ages, with particular focus on medieval women writers, mysticism, and representations of gender and devotion. Her most recent book is Poet Mystic Widow Wife: The Extraordinary Lives of Medieval Women (2024).Show NotesSolitude and SanctityHowes introduces her research on medieval women mystics and writers (Julian of Norwich, Margery Kempe, Christine de Pizan, Marie de France).Exploration of the anchoritic life—cells built into church walls where women lived sealed from the world.The paradox of solitude: enclosure for God that still required connection for survival.The Anchorite's WorldAnchorages included small windows—to the church, the street, and for food—balancing isolation with limited engagement.Guidebooks warned women against gossip and temptation, revealing anxiety about sociability and holiness.“Why have a window to the world if you're not ever going to converse with it?”Loneliness and BoredomLoneliness rarely appears in medieval texts; boredom and idleness were greater concerns.“Boredom comes up as a concept much more often than loneliness.”Modern readers project our loneliness onto them; their silence might reveal difference, not absence.Julian and MarjorieJulian's quiet solitude contrasts with Marjorie's noisy, emotional piety.Marjorie Kempe's “roarings” and unconventional piety challenged norms; she lived in the world but sought holiness.“I wish you were enclosed in a house of stone”—a critique of her refusal to conform.Solitude and CommunityEven in seclusion, anchorites served others—praying, advising, maintaining windows to the world.Julian's writings reveal care for all Christians; her solitude was intercessory, not selfish.Howes connects medieval community to our modern digital and emotional isolation.Modern ReflectionsHowes parallels her own experience of digital overload and motherhood with the medieval longing for quiet focus.“As amazing as the digital can be, it's eroding so much.”She cautions against idolizing solitude but affirms its value for clarity and grounding.Production NotesThis podcast featured Hetta HowesInterview by Macie BridgeEdited and Produced by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Alexa Rollow, Emily Brookfield, and Hope ChunA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give

A humiliating arrest on a college visit. A long drive home with a father's hard words. And then a student camp where the gospel finally clicked. That sequence didn't just clean up a teenager's weekends—it set the course for a pastor, a church plant that grew from a living room to multiple campuses, and a family devoted to helping others meet Jesus in everyday moments.We sit down with Pastor Jonathan  "Pastor J" Howes to trace the arc from party culture to purposeful living. He explains how a single verse—“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation”—became a new identity, and how discipleship through sports gave him a model to follow on ordinary days. We unpack the question so many wrestle with: How do you really know you're going to heaven? Pastor J lays out a clear, biblically grounded assurance rooted in grace, not a life scorecard, and shows why that security matters for mental health, resilience, and joy.From there, we get practical. You'll hear the three pillars that keep faith strong: join a Christ‑centered church, open the Bible daily, and commit to a small group that practices honest accountability. Pastor J shares his group's “stay in the fire” rule and how simple daily check‑ins keep the flame alive. We also talk about Spiritual Moments, the devotional book he co‑wrote with his wife Jennifer, built to help families reclaim quiet, unhurried conversations around Scripture with icebreakers, short teachings, and prayer prompts. And we end with a challenge from Joshua 3: most moves of God start when we get our feet wet. If you've been waiting on certainty, this is your nudge to take the next step—invite, lead, serve—and trust God to meet you in motion.If this conversation encouraged you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a quick review so more people can find the Road to Redemption.

Order my newest book Make Money Easy! https://lewishowes.com/moneyyouCheck out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1797Lewis and Martha open up about the boundary that saved their relationship before it even began. After years of exhausting themselves trying to keep the peace by constantly changing who they were, they learned that the strongest relationships aren't built on avoiding conflict—they're built on being crystal clear about what you will and won't accept from day one. Lewis shares how he almost scared Martha away by laying out his non-negotiables immediately, including his firm rule about never tolerating screaming, while Martha reveals how they both had to unlearn their people-pleasing patterns that were slowly draining their energy.What makes this conversation so powerful is how they moved beyond just setting boundaries with each other to creating protective barriers with friends, family, and colleagues that actually strengthened their relationship. You'll discover why waiting years to set boundaries makes everything harder, how to communicate limits without shame or anger, and the specific framework they used in therapy to turn potential deal-breakers into relationship strengtheners. This isn't about being selfish—it's about creating the safety that allows real love to flourish.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

After surviving a relationship with someone diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder, she found herself so conditioned to fear conflict that even bringing up the smallest concern felt impossible. In her new marriage to Lewis, she'd create elaborate stories with salt and pepper shakers rather than simply say what was bothering her - anything to avoid what she'd been trained to expect: explosive reactions to the slightest issue. Her journey from that hypervigilant state to healthy communication reveals just how deeply past trauma can rewire our ability to be honest with the people we love most.What makes this conversation so powerful isn't just Martha's vulnerability about her past, but the practical wisdom she and Lewis share about creating safety in relationships. They dive into their approach to "conscious conflict resolution" - a way of addressing problems that doesn't put anyone in defensive mode but instead opens the door for real understanding. If you've ever found yourself avoiding difficult conversations, storing up resentment, or struggling to speak your truth in love, their insights about moving from elaborate analogies to direct, loving communication could transform how you connect with others.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Most couples rush into marriage without building the foundation that actually matters, but Martha Higareda Howes, accomplished actress and my wife, shows us what intentional relationship preparation looks like. We dive deep into our year-long marriage preparation journey, revealing the workshops, therapy sessions, and difficult conversations that created unshakeable unity before we even said "I do." Martha vulnerably shares how she learned to break free from controlling patterns rooted in childhood safety mechanisms, while I open up about requiring acceptance over perfection from a partner. The most powerful moment comes when Martha demonstrates true partnership by choosing our marriage agreements over family pressure during our wedding day crisis, proving that real love means protecting the relationship you're building together. Anyone dating seriously, engaged, or married will walk away with a blueprint for creating the kind of relationship that thrives under pressure rather than crumbles.Martha on InstagramThe Greatness Mindset: Unlock the Power of Your Mind and Live Your Best Life TodayThe Mask of Masculinity: How Men Can Embrace Vulnerability, Create Strong Relationships, and Live Their Fullest LivesThe School of Greatness: A Real-World Guide to Living Bigger, Loving Deeper, and Leaving a LegacyIn this episode you will learn:How to break free from controlling relationship patterns that stem from childhood safety mechanismsThe marriage preparation program framework that creates unshakeable foundations before your wedding dayWhy accepting your partner completely is more powerful than trying to change themHow to navigate family boundaries when creating your new marriage unitThe conflict resolution method that prevents resentment from building over timeFor more information go to https://www.lewishowes.com/1788For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Dr. Caroline Fleck – greatness.lnk.to/1774SCMatthew Hussey  – greatness.lnk.to/1782SCStephen Chandler – greatness.lnk.to/1756SC Get more from Lewis!
