What does quiet confidence really look like? In this episode, we're continuing our Confidence in Life series by unpacking the kind of confidence that doesn't need to shout—or even speak—to be felt. We talk about why real confidence isn't about being the loudest in the room, but about being deeply at peace with who you are and where you're going. From learning to trust your own inner voice to letting go of external validation, we'll explore the tools and mindset shifts that create lasting, grounded confidence. Plus, we share practical ways to tune in to yourself, set boundaries without guilt, and embrace the freedom that comes with caring less about what others think.

Alexis A. Goring reminds us that when we mess up, God meets us with compassion, grace, and mercy—not condemnation. Reflecting on a personal story from her time at Williams-Sonoma, Alexis draws a beautiful parallel to how God gently asks, “Are you okay?” before addressing our mistakes. Through Scripture and the inspiring song “Savior to Me” by Kerrie Roberts, she highlights God’s enduring love and His desire to restore what feels broken. ✨ Highlights The power of compassion over condemnation when we make mistakes How God’s heart is like a caring friend who checks on us first (“Are you okay?”) Biblical assurance of God’s mercy and grace that renews every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23) The hope found in Jesus Christ, the Savior who understands our pain and restores us A reminder that God can heal what we thought was permanently broken

Todd's sharing a conversation that could completely change how you think about betrayal and recovery.He recently interviewed Lora Cheadle, a betrayal recovery coach and attorney who discovered her husband's 15-year affair. What drew him to Lora is that she speaks from a deeper place about infidelity—challenging the rigid ideas that keep people stuck rather than helping them heal.Here's what we explore together:Why betrayal uncovers hidden truths about how we've been "performing" in life instead of expressing our authentic selves—and why this awareness is crucial for genuine healingThe game-changing shift from asking "Why did this happen to me?" to "What is this here to awaken in me?"—this single question can transform your entire recovery journeyWhy infidelity was never about you but rather your partner's maladaptive coping mechanism, and how understanding this frees you from false responsibility and shameThe difference between being victimized (which absolutely happened) and staying stuck in the victim role—plus how to write a completely different narrative for your lifeHow betrayal can break generational patterns and help you become truly "self-possessed" instead of seeking external validationLora and I are very like-minded in our approach. We're not minimizing the real pain of betrayal—Lora herself was on the floor sobbing for weeks. But we're showing you there's a path through this that leads to genuine empowerment and self-discovery.As Lora powerfully shared: "You were victimized—that's a fact. But being a victim is a role, and you can play that role until you're 80 years old. I get one life to live here, and I'm living it from an empowered place."If you're struggling with infidelity or know someone who is, this episode offers a compassionate, no-shame approach to healing that integrates mind, body, and spirit.Connect with Lora Cheadle: Website: https://loracheadle.com/ Free Resource: https://lorachead Check out my complete program "From Bickering & Escalating to Connecting & Loving" for more in-depth guidance: https://www.toddcreagertraining.com/loving-connecting-masterclass If this episode resonates with you, please share it with someone who could benefit and leave a review.

Title: Come And WorshipSpeaker: Luke BrandonScripture: Psalm 95Episode Overview:In Psalm 95, we find both an invitation and a warning—an invitation to enter God's presence with joy, reverence, and wholehearted worship, and a sobering reminder to guard our hearts from disbelief. Using vivid stories—from a forgotten Qing dynasty vase to modern sports icons searching for meaning—this message unpacks what it means to worship God with our will, mind, and heart. We discover that everything we do communicates who we worship, and that true worship flows from trust in the Good Shepherd who knows us by name.Key Highlights:• What Worship Really Is: Ascribing ultimate value to God with every part of our being.• Worship with the Whole Person: Engaging mind, heart, and will to magnify God's character and works.• The Privilege of “Come”: God invites us back into His presence—what sin had once driven us from.• Examples from Life: How misplaced worship leaves us empty, from Super Bowl rings to earthly treasures.• The Warning of Psalm 95: How unbelief kept an entire generation from God's rest, and how we can avoid the same.• A Word of Hope: “Today” is God's offer of life, rest, and salvation for those who hear His voice.Call to Action:Today, let your life tell the truth about who sits on the throne of your heart. Worship is not just a Sunday activity—it's every thought you think, word you speak, and choice you make. Take time this week to intentionally ascribe worth to God with your actions: speak words that honor Him, serve someone in need, and replace grumbling with gratitude. Let your everyday life become an act of worship that points others to the King who is above all gods.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org

In today's episode, we tackle one of the most misunderstood truths in health and fitness: just because something is simple, doesn't mean it's easy. From the basics of nutrition and movement to the mental game of consistency, we unpack why people struggle with doing the boring basic things and keep abandoning their goals for the smallest inconvenience - and what to do about it.We also dive into the power of saying no, the guilt that shows up when you start prioritizing yourself, and how training for life (not just a finish line) demands a different kind of mindset. If you've ever said “I'll get back on track Monday,” or felt like a goal wasn't “serious enough” to commit to, this one's for you.Key Takeaways:Why nutrition and fitness are simple in theory but hard in real lifeHow people sabotage their own progress by expecting perfectionThe real reason you keep saying yes when you should be saying noWhy you don't need a race or event to train like your goals matterHow to stay consistent even when life gets messy (because it always will)Don't forget to rate, review, and share if this hit home.Thank you Cured Nutrition for sponsoring our podcast!We LOVE Cured products and know you will, too!

In the self-help space, it's easy to assume someone else has it all together. The truth is, nobody does. While I have some answers—and I certainly can provide help to stop people-pleasing—I'm still learning, too. Today, I'm sharing recent changes and insights from my own life to offer an honest look at the messy, yet beautiful, journey of healing—and to remind you that joy, grief, and desire can all coexist. Here's what I cover:How religious scriptures shaped my beliefs about worthiness–and how I've grown into a deeper sense of connectionWhy rest, joy, pleasure, and loving your f*cking life are powerful acts of resistanceWhy I stepped away from social media and how it has allowed me to show up more fully in my lifeHow retreating to my love of fiction provided me with a soul-deep reliefHow I have become more fully present in my body and my power through pleasureHow I learned that “Am I enough?” was never the right question to askFind Sara here:https://sarafisk.coachhttps://pages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversationshttps://www.instagram.com/sarafiskcoach/https://www.facebook.com/SaraFiskCoaching/https://www.tiktok.com/@sarafiskcoachhttps://www.youtube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333What happens inside the free Stop People Pleasing Facebook Community?

Goring reflects on Psalm 121:7 and explores how God, like a loving parent, shields us from dangers—both seen and unseen.

Change is hard—unless you change your approach.Tired of relapsing into the same habits? There's a better way.
As women, we receive so much messaging about how big our lives are allowed to be. Whether it's patriarchy, childhood conditioning, or the communities we're part of, many women learn that being convenient, optimistic, and helpful makes them lovable. Even though it isn't true, that influence often keeps us from living our lives in a bigger way. In this episode, we explore the signs that your life is too small for you and how you can start to live a life that's as honest and expressive as you want. Here's what I cover: How to recognize when your life has become too small by how your body feelsThe most common signs that you're ready to take your life to the next levelWhy your dreams feeling impossible or selfish is a signal that you're ready for changeHow resentment and irritation can show up under the surface when you feel stuck in a small lifeHow emotional suppression can lead to real issues that affect women's healthAn example of how my life changed when I learned how to say what needed to be saidSign up for the FREE WORKSHOP on July 22nd: https://pages.sarafisk.coach/say-it-jul-2025 Find Sara here:https://sarafisk.coachhttps://pages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversationshttps://www.instagram.com/sarafiskcoach/https://www.facebook.com/SaraFiskCoaching/https://www.tiktok.com/@sarafiskcoachhttps://www.youtube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333What happens inside the free Stop People Pleasing Facebook Community?
