In this episode, I share a deeply personal story about my father. After my mother passed away earlier this year, he became bitter, negative, and often unkind to me. People told me it was dementia, that there was no hope for change. For weeks, I called and visited him, but each encounter left me heartbroken.And then, something shifted. As we carried his books into the elderly home, I discovered how much we shared — the love of art, languages, and philosophy. Soon, my father began reading again. Slowly, he grew sharper, kinder, and more joyful.In this episode, I talk about how books helped bring my father back to life, how our relationship transformed once more, and why I now believe: it is never too late to hope. Even when everything looks lost, change is always possible.P.S. If you're navigating your own family challenges and long for guidance, I'm here.

Yet beneath the surface, there was a profound lack of emotional support and unconditional love.My mother struggled with untreated depression, my parents were emotionally immature, and I spent years feeling unseen, ashamed, and unworthy of love. I believed I was a bad person because I didn't feel the love I needed from them, and I was often told I wasn't grateful enough.Through therapy and self-reflection, I began to understand the emotional poverty I grew up in. I learned how important it is to acknowledge our feelings, to stop carrying shame, and to start loving ourselves deeply and unconditionally.If you've ever felt that your family wasn't “broken enough” to deserve healing, or if you struggle with feelings of unworthiness despite a seemingly normal childhood, this episode is for you.Together, we explore how to break free from old beliefs, celebrate your worth, and invite authentic love into your life—starting with the love you give yourself.BOOKS:

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the August 14th, 2025 episode of the Daily Radio Bible. Join your host, Hunter, as he guides us through day 227 of our journey in Scripture. Today's readings take us from the prophetic words of Jeremiah—speaking into exile, hope, and the deep struggles of the human heart—to the exuberant praise in Psalm 96, and finally into the tender, powerful moments Jesus shares with His disciples in John 16. Hunter invites us to imagine what it would be like to spend a whole day with Jesus—free from judgment, fear, and condemnation, and filled instead with peace and God's loving presence. As we listen, we're reminded that Christ's presence and the Spirit are available to us today, wherever we are, inviting us into a life marked by deep joy and abiding faith. Stay with us for Scripture, reflection, and prayer to help you ground your day in God's word and love. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Imagine a day with Jesus—just beginning your day with him, having coffee, driving to work, simply sharing your routines and moments with him. As you spend this day with Jesus, you soon realize it is a day like no other. It's a day without judgment, a day without fear, a day without condemnation—a day lived in God's life-giving presence, where you are truly free. How could anything be better than that? That's exactly what the disciples experienced: days and years walking with Jesus, learning from him, being next to him, their eyes opened to who God is and what he is truly like—self-giving, radically forgiving, and co-suffering in his love for all, even for enemies. For these disciples, there didn't seem a greater reality than simply being by his side. But in John 16, Jesus tells them something almost unimaginable. He says it's better for them—better for us—that he should go. Why? Because as he departs, he promises to send the Advocate, the Spirit of God, who will dwell not just with a few, but in all who receive him. This Advocate, the Holy Spirit, reveals to the world the true character and glory of God. He brings God's abiding presence into every believer's life, awakening us to a deeper reality: Christ, not just among us, but within us—wherever we are, whatever our circumstance. The presence of Christ in us is God's best gift, given freely today to all his children. No matter if you're in Cincinnati, Somerset, Perth, or São Paulo, the Spirit of Christ is with you, awakening your heart to the presence and peace of God. Through him, you can live this day—every day—without condemnation, without fear, enjoying the peace and abundant joy that Jesus gives. God's best is yours, right now. That's the prayer I have for my own soul: to live and walk in that presence, in that peace and freedom. It's the prayer I hold for my family—my wife, my daughters, my son. And it's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord of life, you have awakened me again to the gift of this day. You go before me, walk beside me and dwell within me. Let me walk slowly in your presence. May I resist the hurried spirit of this world and instead breathe deep of your peace. Open my eyes to beauty, my ears to your voice, and my heart to the quiet work of grace. Help me not to strive, but to abide, not to achieve, but to receive. Today. Let my words carry your kindness. My actions reflect your mercy. My thoughts be anchored in your truth that I am yours and you are with me. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.   OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

Psalm 27, Written by the shepherd-king David, is an anchor of the soul despite raging storms.

The other day, I caught myself doing it again… I was sitting at a restaurant with my father, and while I smiled and asked if he liked the menu, if he was warm enough, if he was comfortable in his chair… I realized something.I never once asked myself:“Esther, are you okay?”“Do you like where you're sitting?”“Is this moment feeding your heart too?”In my 121st solo episode, I'm diving deep into a truth I've uncovered: I'm still a people pleaser. Even after all the bold choices I've made in my life.I chose journalism over teaching. I lived in Paris, in the States, and I moved to Zürich when my father said I shouldn't. And yet… I've still put my dreams on hold for others.Especially the one dream that hasn't let go of me: To live abroad again. Not just visit. But live. To rediscover who I am when I'm not someone's caregiver, not someone's daughter, not someone's helper… just me.But then those old voices come in: You can't go now. In this episode, I share:How people pleasing still sneaks into our livesThe dream I nearly buried forever5 powerful ways to start living authentically todayI also open up an invitation for you to work with me. Because maybe you're in a moment where you want to change, but you don't want to walk alone. I would be honored to be your coach.

Have you ever stood in front of something big—a performance, a conversation, a life moment—and felt that heavy, nagging fear rising? That voice saying: “You're not good enough”?“Esther, you are amazing… you will play with ease.”This is the sentence I kept whispering to myself in the backstage rooms of the most beautiful concert hall I've ever played in—Vienna's Golden Hall.In this episode, I take you with me—into that hall, into my heart, and into the way I transformed fear into joy through one powerful tool: my mindset.This episode is for you if… – you tend to shrink before big moments – fear has whispered lies in your ear – you want to learn how to program your mind with light, not doubt – you're ready to feel more ease, presence, and confidence—even when the pressure is onI share the exact words I told myself, the inner shifts I made, and how you can do the same when your fears get loud.

A few days ago, I made one of the hardest decisions of my life: I stopped visiting my 90-year-old father every week. Not because I don't love him. But because I love myself enough now to protect my peace.For years, I carried the hope that our relationship would become warmer, kinder—like the one I was blessed to have with my mother before she passed away. I showed up, I listened, I gave love… but all I received back were complaints, coldness, and criticism. It broke my heart, week after week.So, after deep reflection, I chose to set a boundary. And when he might ask why I come less often, I'll simply say: “I'm taking care of my own energy.”No guilt. No long explanations. Just self-respect and love.In this week's podcast episode, I'm opening my heart to you. I'm sharing how I overcame my guilt, how I broke free from the role of the “good daughter,” and how you, too, can set boundaries with family—with love, not anger.If you've ever felt emotionally drained by a parent or a loved one… If you've tried to be everything for everyone while slowly forgetting yourself… This episode is for you.BOOKS:

In this episode, I open my heart and share something very personal with you—something I believe many of us quietly carry. Every week, I visit my 90-year-old father in his elderly home. And every time, despite all the healing work I've done, I still come back with this heavy feeling: I'm not good enough. I tell myself in advance to stay calm, to let him be who he is, but his words and behavior still reach that little girl inside of me who just wanted to be seen, acknowledged, and appreciated.Do you have someone in your life who still has the power to make you doubt your worth? Someone who can awaken old wounds, no matter how far you've come?This episode is not about blame. It's about compassion.

In this episode, I share with you one of the most powerful experiences of my life — a swim trek on a small Croatian island that challenged me far beyond what I thought I could handle.For six hours, I swam in the cold sea, facing currents, self-doubt, and discomfort. I didn't do it for a qualification or a medal. I did it to meet myself in the cold, in the fear, and in the places where I usually want to give up.This episode is not just about swimming. It's about expanding your comfort zone. It's about finding strength through baby steps, learning how to coach yourself through hard moments, and realizing that the voice inside you saying, “You can do it,” is more powerful than you know.Whether you're facing something overwhelming right now, or simply need a reminder that you're capable of more than you believe, I hope this story encourages you to keep going. One step. One stroke. One breath at a time.And if you'd like support on your own journey of growth and resilience, I'm here. I'd love to walk (or swim) alongside you.BOOKS:

There was a time when I couldn't stand unfairness. If something felt wrong, I would fight. I would argue. I would push until I felt heard. I was the uncomfortable one in the room—the one who couldn't let go until justice was served.But it came at a cost. My peace. My joy. My relationships. In this deeply honest episode, I open up about:My emotional battles with injusticeHow my childhood shaped the way I reactThe anger that used to rule meAnd the gentle inner work that led me back to love and peaceI've learned that life isn't always fair. But how I respond—that's something I get to choose. And today, I choose peace over being right. I choose softness. I choose love.If you've ever struggled with strong emotions, felt misunderstood, or carried the weight of needing to make things right—this episode is for you. It's a gentle reminder that you are not alone, and you are always capable of changing the way you show up in your life.BOOKS:

Have you been giving so much that you've forgotten how to receive?Do you feel what others need almost instantly, but when it comes to your own needs… you pause, hesitate, or even ignore them?You're not alone. Maybe you've been the strong one. The caretaker. The one who listens deeply and holds space for everyone else. But who holds space for you? If you've ever felt tired but kept saying yes… If you've ever picked up the phone when you wanted to rest… If you've ever put yourself last because it felt too hard to say no… I see you. Truly, I do.But here's the truth you might need to hear today:You are allowed to set boundaries. You are allowed to take a break. You are allowed to say, “I come first.” This doesn't make you selfish—it makes you whole.And yes, I know it's not always easy. Especially when it comes to family. You might be afraid someone will be hurt, or think you don't care. But setting boundaries isn't about shutting people out—it's about letting your truth in.And if you ever need someone to walk beside you as you learn to say “no” with love and “yes” to yourself, I'd be honored to be that guide. You don't have to do it alone.BOOKS:

Now.We'll talk about how to: – Recognize the small wins that matter – Let compliments land in your heart – Shift your success rules to something more loving – Celebrate yourself — and feel proud, without guiltAnd if you're a parent, a partner, or a friend… your healing will ripple.When you start feeling good about yourself, you give others permission to do the same.

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about space—not the kind between stars, but the space in our homes, in our hearts, and in our minds. After my dear mum passed away, something stirred deep inside me. I felt an urge to declutter—not just the rooms in my house, but the layers of who I used to be. So I started with my wardrobe. It's incredible how much a closet can carry. Skirts I hadn't worn in decades. Blouses from a time when I tried to be perfect for everyone. Pieces that cost too much to throw away… but were costing me peace by staying.Then I asked myself a question I now want to ask you too:Do I really want to keep parts of an identity I've already outgrown?Because the truth is—I've changed. I'm not the stressed-out mum juggling two little boys. I'm not the corporate woman trying to be liked by everyone. I'm someone new. Softer. Wiser. Freer. And I have a feeling you are too.Letting go became a sacred act. That was just the beginning.I walked through my kitchen and asked: “Do I still want to eat from these plates that carry years of old energy?”I opened drawers, sorted through papers and notebooks from seminars I had forgotten. I cleaned the garden pond and cleared the overgrown plants—suddenly, there was room for new life to emerge. Frogs, toads, peace.And all throughout, something in me softened.I felt the joy of becoming again.Of remembering that I am allowed to change.That I don't have to carry everything I once was into the life I'm living now.If you're feeling stuck, unsure, or simply longing for a shift, maybe this is your moment too.BOOKS:

I never thought I could truly be at peace with my family. The pain, the misunderstandings, the feeling of being unseen—it all ran too deep. Maybe you know what I mean. Maybe you've felt the sting of being hurt by a sibling, a parent, or someone close to you.But what if healing was possible? What if you could break the cycle and finally free yourself from the weight of family wounds?In this episode, I share my raw and personal journey with my brother. For years, we barely spoke. When we did, it triggered emotions I didn't want to feel—resentment, frustration, sadness. And when our parents' health declined and life forced us to communicate, I realized something: if I didn't change the way I handled this, I would carry this pain forever. So, I made a decision. I chose peace over resentment. Love over blame. Healing over hurt.And it wasn't easy. It still isn't. But I discovered powerful tools that are helping me shift my perspective, let go of anger, and truly move forward. And if I can do it, you can too.In this episode, I talk about:The mindset shift that changed everything for meHow Ho'oponopono, a Hawaiian prayer, is helping me healWhy family wounds run so deep and how to start breaking freeThe three steps I use to stay calm and not let negative emotions take overIf you've ever struggled with family relationships, I encourage you to listen. This might be the message you need to hear today.BOOKS:

Have you ever felt unseen, unheard, or just not enough—even when everything in your life should feel okay?I know this feeling all too well. And if you do too, I want you to know—you are not alone. Most of us grew up with unmet emotional needs, not because our parents didn't love us, but because they never learned how to meet their own. And so, the cycle continues… until we decide to break it.Today, I want to talk about the four core needs that shape your emotional well-being:The need to feel lovedThe need to feel connectedThe need to feel significantThe need to feel safeWhen these needs aren't met—whether in childhood or now—it can leave us feeling empty, anxious, and lost. But here's the truth: it's never too late to heal. You don't have to wait for someone else to give you what you need. You can start today by learning to nurture yourself.In this episode, I share my own journey of realizing why I felt so emotionally unfulfilled, despite having a “normal” childhood. I also give you a simple yet powerful self-check exercise that you can use anytime you feel off balance.If you're tired of feeling stuck, unseen, or unworthy—this episode is for you. It's time to step into your power and give yourself the love and significance you deserve. You are already enough. You are already worthy.PS.

I watched my father sit by my mother's side for weeks, holding her hand, whispering words of encouragement, trying to keep her here just a little longer. But she was in too much pain. And when she left, something inside him broke. His health began to fade, as if he no longer had a reason to fight. And I realized—without health, we are lost. No matter how much money we have, how many people love us, or how many dreams we chase, without our health, life becomes a struggle.How much attention do you give to your health?Have you made it your number one priority?I hadn't. I was busy. Focused on my work, my goals, my family. Like so many of us. But watching my parents suffer made me see things differently. Health is not a luxury. It's the foundation of everything.That's why in my latest podcast episode, I'm diving deep into this truth. Not to scare you, but to remind you that it's never too late to start.Move your body, even just a little.Nourish yourself with real food.Listen to your emotions and take them seriously.These small steps make all the difference. And you don't have to do it alone. If you need support, I'm here.BOOKS:

Have you ever been triggered by someone you deeply love? I just was. And it caught me off guard. My 19-year-old son asked to use my car to go have lunch with his friends. A simple request, yet I felt a wave of resentment. Why? Because his choice went against my values—exercise, financial mindfulness, and fresh air. I wanted him to see things my way.And then, I had a realization: I was reacting just like my parents did when I was young. That thought stopped me in my tracks.In this episode, I talk about why we get triggered, what these moments reveal about us, and how we can shift our perspective. I share four powerful steps to move from frustration to understanding—because triggers happen in all relationships, but they don't have to control us.BOOKS:

I want to take you on a journey—one that led me from being a fact-obsessed journalist to someone who believes in the unseen.For years, I relied only on logic, hard facts, and scientific proof. But deep inside, something felt off. I was hiding parts of myself, afraid to explore what couldn't be measured. Until I couldn't ignore it anymore.Slowly, I started opening up, embracing my intuition, and trusting that there is more beyond the physical world. And guess what? It changed everything.Recently, I attended a Progressive Retreat with Dr. Joe Dispenza, meditating alongside 8,000 people. The experience was beyond words. Dr. Joe's research proves that our thoughts and emotions shape our reality—and even our health. This isn't just "woo-woo" anymore. Science backs it up.In this episode, I share:How I overcame my fear of judgment and embraced spiritualityWhy meditation is a game-changer (even if you start with 5 minutes a day)The five simple steps that can transform your lifeIf you've ever doubted the power of your thoughts or felt stuck in negativity, this episode is for you.

It's about making peace—with family, with loved ones, and most importantly, with yourself. As I sit by my 90-year-old mother's bedside, watching her slowly fade, I realize how much I've changed over the past decade.

This episode isn't just about my story—it's about yours, too. It's about finding gratitude, shifting your perspective, and breaking free from generational pain.I invite you to listen, not just with your ears, but with your heart.

Do you ever feel like there's a voice in your head that never takes a break? I call mine Tom. Tom is my inner critic—a relentless little worker who never sleeps, never takes a vacation, and seems to have a lot to say about everything I do. For the longest time, Tom was like a shadow, following me from morning to night, pointing out where I wasn't “good enough” and comparing me to others. Sound familiar? But here's the thing: Tom means well. He thinks he's protecting me from failure or disappointment, but what he's really doing is holding me back. So, I decided to introduce him to someone new: Anna—my positive, uplifting inner voice. Anna steps in when Tom needs a break (yes, critics deserve vacations too!) and helps me rewrite the story in my head. Imagine waking up, hearing Tom's usual criticisms, and saying: “Thanks, Tom, but Anna's taking over today. She says I am good enough, and today is full of fresh opportunities.” Sounds empowering, right? It's a simple yet life-changing practice I want to share with you. In this new podcast episode, I walk you through how to: Recognize and name your inner critic Shift the dialogue to a positive voice Transform self-doubt into confidence BOOKS:

In this episode, I discuss Meditation 11 from Book 2 of Meditations, where Marcus Aurelius reminds us to live each moment as if death could come at any time, encouraging a focus on living virtuously. Marcus addresses the nature of death and the existence of gods, framing them in a way that reduces fear. He explains that if gods exist, they are just, so there is no need to fear death. If gods do not exist, then life has no divine meaning, and death is a natural peace. Marcus implies that life is purposeful and that the Cosmos supports virtuous living, so we should focus on actions aligned with our goals and moral growth. I explore how this perspective allows Stoics to view life's challenges, including the existence of evil, with less distress. Marcus frames “evil” as ignorance and vice, and by trusting in the rationality of the Cosmos, we believe that every challenge has a virtuous counter. This mindset helps us avoid responding to darkness with darkness. Instead, by seeing every obstacle as an opportunity to act rightly, we resist the urge to adopt negativity in response to life's hardships. This focus on virtuous action enables us to maintain a Stoic purpose, finding strength in aligning our actions with reason and justice. "In the conviction that it is possible you may depart from life at once, act and speak and think in every case accordingly. But to leave the company of men is nothing to fear, if gods exist; for they would not involve you in ill." - Meditations 2.11 -- Go ad-free : https://stoicismpod.com/members Follow the print publication : https://stoicismpod.com/print Take the free course : https://understandingstoicism.com Order my book : https://stoicismpod.com/book Source Text : https://stoicismpod.com/far Learn more about your ad choices.
