Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior!  In light of Good Friday being today and Easter Sunday, I bring you this breath prayer. Jesus conquered all sin and death on the cross for you and for me and for the world. AND THEN he rose 3 days later . His resurrection from the dead , victory over all gives us life. He is Risen and alive and that means as we receive this gift- alive in us! As we live life, we get wrapped up in the stress of it all- even burnt out on stress - we have to remember Jesus is alive in us and gives all peace, joy, hope, love, strength, LIFE. He lives in us SO we can live. Sit with this truth. Breathe it in and speak it out and as you do listen to what God is speaking back to you about Jesus Christ being alive and living in you. Verse: “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.” – Galatians 2:20 inhale: Christ is alive… Exhale: and lives in me. Breathe in LIFE. Happy Resurrection Sunday! Shalom Shalom,  Xx, Shan  ……CONNECT……

Why is it so hard for women to get clear on what they truly desire? During this conversation, Tracey Gee, certified leadership coach and author of The Magic of Knowing What You Really Want, explains why so many women feel disconnected from their desires and what it takes to reclaim them. Tracey unpacks the cultural and emotional blocks that keep us quiet and offers a powerful call to tune back into the truth of what we want.   Society often teaches women to care for everyone else's needs and to label their own desires as selfish. From the fear of being seen as “too much” to the discomfort of potential disappointment, Tracey shares why desire can feel complicated, yet worth pursuing. She reminds us that naming what we want isn't selfish. It's actually essential to building a life that feels like our own.   Tracey also introduces the concept of experimenting with our desires, which is a playful but powerful way to explore possibilities, try things on, and discover what actually lights us up. Whether you're craving clarity or a complete reset, this episode will help you get unstuck and move toward a more aligned, authentic life.   Here's what you can look forward to in this episode: Helping women move toward their desires The double standard between how men and women express their desires The 4 types of experimentation How disappointment can bring you closer to what you want Hundred Desires List Reflection question to ponder: If you pay attention to what you want andd you lived into that magic, how could it benefit the people you love and the things you care about?   Connect with Whitney: Instagram l Website l 5 Days to Less Stress, More Satisfaction l Tend to Your Soul Toolkit l Electric Ideas Podcast   Connect with Tracey: Instagram | Website | Book: The Magic of Knowing What You Want | Grab the 3x5 Method Template!

Have you ever felt like intimacy takes a backseat in your busy life? Between endless to-do lists, financial stress, and the mental load of daily responsibilities, it's no surprise that desire often fades into the background. But what if mindfulness could help rekindle connection and deepen intimacy?   In this episode, Whitney sits down with Dr. Lori Brotto, a leading researcher in sexual health and mindfulness and author of Better Sex Through Mindfulness. Dr. Brotto shares fascinating insights into the powerful connection between the mind and sexual well-being, shedding light on how emotional and psychological factors shape women's experiences in the bedroom.   Together, they explore why spontaneous desire is rare—especially in long-term relationships—and how cultivating awareness and intention can reignite passion. By letting go of outdated beliefs around female sexuality and embracing mindfulness, women can foster a more fulfilling relationship with both their bodies and their partners.   Dr. Brotto also shares research-backed, practical strategies to boost desire, confidence, and pleasure—without pressure or perfection.   Tune in for an insightful and empowering conversation that just might shift the way you think about intimacy.   Here's what you can look forward to in this episode: The prevalence of sexual dysfunction How stress impacts intimacy and sexual desire Why Lori advocates for planning time for sex Mindfulness practices to help rebuild being present with sexual desire Advice for those whose self-judgment is getting in the way of enjoying sex How moms can talk to their daughters to help them have a good relationship with sex Erotica vs. porn Reflection question to ponder: Do I really want this?   Connect with Whitney: Instagram l Website l 5 Days to Less Stress, More Satisfaction l Tend to Your Soul Toolkit l Electric Ideas Podcast Connect with Dr. Brotto: Instagram | Website | Book: Better Sex Through Mindfulness | Become a research participant

In this episode, Whitney connects with Lori Pappas—entrepreneur, humanitarian, and author of The Magic of Yes—to explore her journey through chaos and transformation. Lori reflects on how her insatiable drive for achievement once took a toll on her well-being and how learning to pause, even for just five minutes, helped her reclaim clarity and balance.   She opens up about breaking free from deep-seated patterns, including the pressure to do it all alone, the struggle with self-worth, and the impact of childhood trauma. Lori also shares how redefining success, taking risks, and embracing forgiveness led her to unexpected places—including Ethiopia, where she gained a new perspective on life's purpose.   Through candid insights and hard-won wisdom, Lori challenges the belief that asking for help is a weakness and instead reframes it as a source of strength and connection.

Love and money are deeply connected, yet financial conversations can often feel stressful, emotional, or even avoided altogether. With Valentine’s Day approaching, this episode explores why money talks can be challenging and how to transform them into moments of trust, connection, and teamwork. We’ll walk through 5 practical steps to help you and your partner communicate openly, navigate financial decisions together, and build a stronger, more unified approach to money. In this episode, John discusses: The emotional impact of money in relationships Why financial conversations can be difficult for couples The importance of trust and communication in financial unity Practical steps for having productive money talks Key Takeaways: Scheduling intentional money conversations ahead of time, rather than waiting for financial problem to surface, helps both of you have better chance to approach your talk with a calm and prepared heart and mind. Creating a safe and judgment-free space, where both of you can actively listen and seek to understand, rather than blame, helps build trust and encourage open, honest dialogue about money. Asking thoughtful questions instead of making assumptions allows couples to uncover each other’s financial fears, goals, and priorities, fostering greater alignment in their financial decisions. When emotions escalate, taking a pause to pray and regain perspective helps refocus the conversation on unity rather than competition, guarding against arguments damaging the relationship. Ending each money discussion with a plan for the next conversation ensures that financial communication remains consistent, strengthening financial unity and reducing long-term stress in the relationship. “Schedule a money talk with your significant other this week—even if it's just 15 or 20 minutes. Make time for an open, honest conversation using these five tips and best practices I'm sharing today, and see how God moves through your honesty and unity.”  JP CLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW MORE MONEY MADE FAITHFUL!

Stress and burnout are common and pervasive problems in our society. As today's guest Dr. Aditi Nerurkar writes in her new bookThe 5 Resets: Rewire Your Brain and Body for Less Stress and More Resilience — which came out January 16 — “Stress and burnout aren't the exception anymore, they're the rule.” It turns out that we're all trapped in the stress paradox, where we are completely isolated in our togetherness with stress. Today on the show we talk about that, as well as the five resets she outlines in her book: No. 1, Get Clear on What Matters Most; No. 2: Find Quiet in a Noisy World; No. 3: Sync Your Brain and Your Body; No. 4: Come Up for Air; and No. 5: Bring Your Best Self Forward. We pack so much in today's episode, including explaining both the multitasking myth and the resilience myth; how not all stress is bad stress, necessarily; how critical digital boundaries are, as being hyperconnected is actually being disconnected; what popcorn brain is; and so much more. It's a really interesting conversation, and we leave it with hope that no one's stress is too far gone to be fixed. That's right — no one! Dr. Nerurkar is a Harvard stress expert, nationally sought after speaker, and television correspondent, and writes that these five small but mighty mindset shifts can help us all overcome our stress. She is an expert in stress, burnout, resilience, and mental health, and her work has been featured inThe New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, Good Morning America, The Today Show, and NPR. She found that, even though stress plays a role in nearly 80 percent of doctor visits, only 3 percent of doctors actually offer stress management tips; her work closes that gap. If you're ready to get rid of stress and burnout for good, this episode is for you. The 5 Resets: Rewire Your Brain and Body for Less Stress and More Resilienceby Dr. Aditi Nerurkar

What if slowing down could actually make you more productive?   In this episode, I sit down with Lee Holden, a master of Qigong, Tai Chi, and energy cultivation, to explore the power of slowing down. We talk about why so many of us feel stressed and burned out and how shifting into a more relaxed, focused state can actually help us get more done with less effort. Lee shares insights from Chinese medicine, breathwork, and movement practices that can help us increase energy, reduce stress, and move through life with more flow.   We also dive into how our emotions, mind, and body are connected, how to develop our intuition as a skill, and how small shifts in our posture and breath can instantly change how we feel. Plus, Lee introduces sexual reflexology, an ancient practice that uses energy movement for health and deeper connection.

She is devoted to eating healthy and teaching others how to do the same. Her cookbook beautifully captures the essence of her compassion as a professional. The Power of 5 Test Kitchen sprouted from the concept of the 5 “S's” from the Power of 5 Formula - Get MORE Sleep, Sweat, Socialization and LESS Stress and Sweets. The Power of 5 Test Kitchen promotes healthy cooking and eating a diet high in protein, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and low in carbohydrates with little or no sugar.https://www.powerof5life.com/
