Let's be real—this isn't your typical Visibly Fit episode. But it's one you absolutely need to hear.This week, I sat down with author and speaker Hattie Bryant, and we delved into a conversation that many people avoid: how to die well. Not in fear, not in confusion, and certainly not in a hospital bed hooked up to unnecessary machines—but with peace, dignity, and purpose.Hattie shares her powerful personal story of helping her mother transition from this life with grace and how that moment shaped everything she does today. We talked about the heartbreaking reality of modern medicine's grip on end-of-life care, why many Christians are afraid of heaven, and how we can prepare both practically and spiritually to leave this world well.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of death, if you've watched someone you love suffer needlessly, or if you want to know how to take the pressure off your family when that day comes, you're going to want to tune in.This conversation is packed with encouragement, biblical insight, and practical instruction. It will challenge you, inspire you, and prepare you—not just for death, but for living more intentionally now.Chapters:[00:00] Podcast Preview[00:50] Podcast Introduction[01:30] Topic and Guest Introduction[05:02] Hattie's Book “I'll Have It God's Way”[07:50] Hattie's Mother's Tragic Stroke Story[11:19] “Everybody Needs A Hattie” Moment[15:35] Why Most Christians Fear Death[19:17] Voluntary Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED)[21:07] Letting God Lead the End-of-Life Process[26:16] Preparing for the Inevitable[30:32] Choosing the Right Healthcare Proxy[33:25] Facing Mortality and Embracing Faith[40:20] The Deception of Comfort[42:30] Dying People Know But Loved Ones Can't Let Go[44:09] Questions To Ask Your Doctor[47:50] Understanding Life Choices and Eternal Perspectives[50:17] Resources and ConclusionResources mentioned:Grab Hattie's book: I'll Have It God's WayLearn more at: authorhattiebryant.comFREE VISIBLY FIT™ in 7 DAYS Workout & Meal PlanVisibly Fit 7-Week Accelerator ProgramConnect with today's guest:Hattie Bryant is a remarkable voice in navigating serious illness and end-of-life decisions with grace, clarity, and unshakable faith.

Every day you are writing your story. Every situation, every decision, is adding a sentence, a page, or a chapter to the book of your life. In this message, Everyone has made a mess of their lives at some point or another. But God doesn't waste pain. If you'll surrender your story to Him, He'll turn your scars into sermons. He'll turn your breakdowns into breakthroughs. Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares how your mess can become your message. 1. Your story is history.Guilt says "what I did was bad." Shame says "who I am is bad." But God says "What I did and who I am has made you brand new."Christian, God has not only forgiven, but forgotten your sin.Isaiah 43:25 NLT To blot or wipe out in Hebrew is to "obliterate or exterminate."The blood of Jesus isn't just white-out that covers your sin—it's an eraser that completely removes it. 1 John 1:9 Honesty with God is the first step to healing from God. Shame grows in the dark, so bring it out into the light. Admit it, quit it, forget it. 2. Your story is His story.When talking about your past, your pain is not the headline—His power is.Romans 8:28 Don't glorify your pain; glorify God through your pain. 3. Your story is ministry.Your past can help someone's future. Ministry isn't just what happens on a stage at church; it's what happens when you sit with someone in the middle of their storm.2 Corinthians 1:3-4The ministry you're called to often comes from the mess you went through.The most powerful ministry tool you have is probably not your preaching, but your past. 4. Your story is prophecy.The Bible says God is no respecter of persons, so when you share what God has done for you, you are prophesying what He will do for someone else.2 Corinthians 1:10 NIV On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver usIf He did it before, He'll do it again!Your testimony is God's promise for someone else's problem. When you testify, you prophesy! 5. Your story is victory.Revelation 12:11 NKJVYou get to help God defeat His enemy with your testimony. 6. Your story is a journey.Your story isn't over—its still happening. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 NLTWhen we stop short of finishing the story, we come away with the wrong conclusion. Don't write someone off while God is still writing their story. The very thing you think disqualifies you—your brokenness, your past, your mess—is the very thing God can use to bring beauty and healing to others. It's time to stop hiding the chapters of your life that you hate, and start letting God use them. Someone's healing is on the other side of your honesty. Let Him turn your mess into your message. Have your surrendered your story to the Lord?

In this heartfelt and vulnerable episode, Lisa Graft — creative storyteller, mom, speaker, Marketing Coordinator at Thrivent and Executive Director of Roots & Wings — opens up about her struggle with people pleasing and how it kept her from living authentically. With raw honesty and deep reflection, Lisa walks us through the pressures of public storytelling, the exhaustion of trying to be everything for everyone, and the breakthrough moment when she realized she had a boundary problem, not a million different problems. Using powerful metaphors like being a Lazy Susan and a circus performer, Lisa paints a picture many women will find deeply relatable — one of hiding, burnout, and longing for more. Her story reminds us that it's never too late to rediscover who we are and set boundaries that protect the person God made us to be. Lisa also serves as Vice President of the Roots & Wings Board, a nonprofit dedicated to helping women pursue legacy through fearless generosity in their time, talent, and treasure.

Rob Edwards is a thirty-year veteran of movies and television who wrote and produced shows including The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Full House, and In Living Color before writing two classic animated films for Walt Disney Feature Animation: the Academy Awards and Golden Globe nominated The Princess and The Frog, and the Academy Awards nominated Treasure Planet. His new project is the graphic novel Defiant: The Story of Robert Smalls. Rob Edwards reflects on being creative for a living, the difference between tourists and pretenders and being a real professional, and how he feels obligated to both teach and entertain in his work. He also shares what it was like working on such iconic TV shows as Roc and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and managing the pressure and responsibility of being one of the few Black creative workers with his range and depth of experience in Hollywood. Rob Edwards also does some sharing about his approach to writing the new Marvel film Captain America: Brave New World and how Anthony Mackie's character “Sam Wilson” (who is now the new “Captain America”) reflects the much deeper history of the long Black Freedom Struggle and the pressure to always succeed in the face of the (near) impossible. On this special Memorial Day episode of the podcast, Chauncey DeVega continues with his annual tradition of reading an account of the first such remembrance day that took place at the end of the Civil War when now free Black Americans buried Union Army war dead in Charleston, South Carolina and honored their sacrifice and victory over the Confederacy with a huge parade. Chauncey also reads an account written by a member of the United States Colored Troops about his experience(s) in the Civil War and doing battle against the forces of the Confederacy who were determined to keep Black people in bondage. And Chauncey DeVega goes on a journey around his neighborhood and has a surreal series of experiences where he was lucky to not be shot by street pirates, learned from a wise honored elder on the bus, and then encountered a young man who claimed to be a time traveler.

"We are not here for ourselves—we are here for other people. Period." These words from Orena Perry don't just summarize her perspective—they declare her purpose. Her story, like so many rooted in Detroit, is a vibrant blend of faith, family, and fearless entrepreneurship. From her great-grandmother's home on Calvert to the stages of Jazz on the Boulevard and the halls of Redford High, Orena's life journey has been one of intention, perseverance, and spiritual grounding. “I've always been a servant,” she says, reflecting on years organizing events, empowering Black-owned businesses, and uplifting voices through conferences, prayer breakfasts, and women's luncheons. After surviving a near-fatal car accident in high school, Orena's life took on a deeper clarity—faith became more than a belief; it became her strategy. “God can tell you when to move, when to stop, and when something is over—but you've got to be able to listen,” she shares. As a mother of three daughters who each embody her entrepreneurial spirit—one in design, one in administration, and one leading programs for autistic youth—Orena has turned her business into a family legacy. Watching them blossom, she says, is her proudest accomplishment. Whether mentoring young boys through the Loop It program, or sharing stages with legends during her Detroit Black Expo days, her impact has always extended far beyond any resume. “It was never about me,” she insists. “It was always about them.” With a laugh that warms the soul and a conviction that can organize armies, Orena Perry walks in grace, models resilience, and reminds Detroit—and the world—that healing begins when we make space to breathe, listen, and serve. What in Orena's journey inspires you to listen more deeply to your own calling?

What if everything you've been taught about healing is backward? In this eye-opening exploration of fundamental biological principles, we challenge the conventional wisdom that positions us as fixers of a broken system, revealing instead the extraordinary intelligence already at work within you.Your body isn't a static object but a dynamic process—with 37 sextillion chemical reactions happening every second and millions of new cells being created, it operates with a complexity beyond human comprehension. This isn't just fascinating trivia; it's the key to understanding why true healing occurs not when we intervene, but when we create the environment for your body's innate wisdom to flourish.We dive deep into the mitochondrial connection to longevity, explaining how these cellular powerhouses determine health across all mammal species. The strength of mitochondrial membranes directly correlates with lifespan—stronger membranes mean longer lives. Through practical strategies like strategic exercise, proper sleep rhythms, intermittent fasting, and cold exposure, you'll learn how to upregulate PGC1-alpha, the master controller of mitochondrial production.The conversation challenges popular misconceptions about essential fatty acids, hormone therapies, and chronic conditions. Rather than seeing symptoms as isolated problems requiring separate treatments, we reveal how seemingly different health challenges often stem from the same underlying imbalances. When you restore proper biological balance by eliminating toxins, optimizing nutrition, and supporting natural processes, your body can resolve multiple issues simultaneously.Whether you're dealing with digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, chronic inflammation, or more serious health challenges, this episode provides a framework for understanding health that transcSend us a text Join Dr. Lodi's Inner Circle membership and unlock exclusive access to webinars, healthy recipes, e-books, educational videos, live Zoom Q&A sessions with Dr. Lodi, plus fresh content every month.

Send us a message here.What if your life purpose isn't just one single destination, but rather the entire journey and all its unexpected twists? After finally reading The Alchemist—a book my estranged father gave me nearly two decades ago—I've had a profound realization about what it means to discover and pursue your "personal legend."Most of us put immense pressure on ourselves to identify that one perfect calling or purpose. But what I'm learning is that our personal legends evolve and shift throughout our lives. Every role I've ever played—from housekeeper to musician to coach to podcast host—has been a crucial chapter in my story, teaching me skills I couldn't have learned any other way.The synchronicity can be mind-blowing when you commit to your personal legend. Just days after deciding to return to music after years away, my original drummer—someone I hadn't seen in years—unexpectedly reappeared in my life. These aren't coincidences; they're confirmation that everything truly is "written by the same hand."When you declare that you want a big, abundant life, understand that this requires making space—and sometimes that means things will fall apart first. These moments feel like tests, and how you respond to them shapes your journey. Will you pass the test? Will you trust the process even when it's uncomfortable?Your personal legend might not be one single thing but rather a beautiful tapestry of all your gifts, passions, and experiences. Don't limit yourself to one lane or identity when you have multiple forms of expression within you. Life is too short for regret and wondering "what if." Raise your hand, ask the question, try the thing—and trust that it's all working out for you, even when it doesn't feel like it in the moment.What's your personal legend calling you to do? Whatever it is, know that the journey itself—not just the destination—is where you'll find your treasure.Grab your copy of The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho on Amazon here.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

With 13 novels to her name, including The Lord Hani Mysteries and The Empire at Twilight, she brings the past to life with remarkable authenticity.Holmes' expertise in ancient history fuels her storytelling, making her books more than just compelling narratives—they are windows into the past.

Send us a textWhat if you could tap into the hidden potential of your mind to overcome anxiety and depression? Join us at Mindset Cafe, where we sit down with Craig Meriwether, a certified clinical hypnotherapist and NLP specialist, who opens up about his personal journey from battling mental health challenges to discovering the transformative power of hypnotherapy. Craig shares how accessing the unconscious mind can reveal and heal deep-rooted emotional issues, often originating in childhood. He offers a refreshing perspective on how hypnotherapy can complement traditional talk therapy by providing a more direct route to personal development and healing.In this illuminating conversation, we debunk widespread myths about hypnosis, exploring how the practice involves natural brainwave states like those experienced during meditation. Craig sheds light on how hypnotherapy empowers individuals to rewrite their mental 'filing cabinets' of trauma, offering a facilitative process that enables quicker resolutions compared to traditional methods. With compelling insights and real-life examples, including feedback from veterans who have benefited from hypnotherapy, Craig illustrates the profound impact of this approach on addressing anxiety, trauma, and more.Our discussion takes a fascinating turn as we delve into the extraordinary capabilities of the human mind, drawing parallels with high-performance states achieved by Tibetan monks and athletes. We ponder the limitless potential within each of us, likening it to the advancements in quantum computing and exploring the idea of unlocking this potential through hypnotherapy. By practicing positive emotions and cultivating mental fitness, we encourage listeners to embrace joy and abundance in their daily lives. Let Craig's wisdom inspire you to explore the remarkable possibilities of your own mind and embark on a journey toward emotional health and happiness.https://arizonaintegrativehypnotherapy.com/Thanks for listening & being part of the Mindset Cafe Community.----------------------------------------------Connect With Devan:https://www.devangonzalez.com/connect----------------------------------------------Follow On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/devan.gonzalez/https://www.instagram.com/mindsetcafepodcastLet me know what topics or questions you want covered so we can help you achieve your goals faster.----------------------------------------------P.S.

God has a plan for your life, and Satan does too! Satan wants to give you death and destruction. Jesus wants to give you life and salvation. The word “abundantly” comes from the Greek “permission,” which means “exceedingly, very highly, beyond measure, more, superfluous, a quantity so great as to be considerably more than what one would expect or anticipate.” What the abundant life is NOT: It's not the prosperity theology. It's not easy. What the abundant life IS: A life of eternal value. A life lived with supernatural power, purpose, meaning, and mission. Through Jesus, you can have more than an average life. You can have an abundant life! He is the doorway to eternal and abundant life. Your life will be the summation of your decisions and the doors you decide to walk through. The Jesus way is the only way to an abundant life. He is the only gate and the only way because He alone died for our sins and rose again. Jesus is worth following because He gave His life so we could live. The abundant life is the obedient life. Obedience comes with a cost. It demands a cross, but it leads to life. If you do whatever Jesus says to do, you will live! Join Pastor Phil Hopper as he shares how to live the abundant life that Jesus offers as we kick off 2025!

When we see and acknowledge what is going well, we begin to permanently change what our mind not only looks for but believes is possible. And when we change our mindset, we change the potential of possibilities that cross our path. Which leads me to celebrating. Perhaps hearing that celebrating is a necessary part of the journey of success may come across as frivolous or unnecessary. Or perhaps when you envision celebrating, the thought of a large party of people and dancing and drinking just does not appeal to you, so you aren't someone who thinks celebrating is necessary (first off all, I am with you on that last one - I don't need a big shindig either), but celebrating can appear in many different forms. So long as it is a form that allows you to decompress, rest, and rejuvenate as well as extend gratitude to those who helped you arrive where you are, that is what celebrating is, and today, I would like to share with you how celebrating after each victory, no matter how small or big, is vital to future successes. Let's take a look at the importance of gratitude and celebration in our everyday lives. View the Show Notes for the episode here - https://thesimplyluxuriouslife.com/podcast389
