What do you do when the person you love most is trapped in addiction—and you realize you're powerless to change them?  This conversation is going to share the raw truth about addiction and codependency that many Christians are not able to say out loud. The crazy-cycle is real in a home or a marriage where there is addiction. And learning to love someone who is addicted will take grace and wisdom that can only come from God. After living in the crazy-cycle for years, things started to make sense after Yvonne's husband revealed his addiction to pornography and drugs. But even after the truth came out, nothing would ever be the same again. As her husband entered a recovery process, Yvonne began her journey of uncovering her need to please and take care of others, and her drive to live a life of performance and perfection.  She needed to change just as much as her husband needed to change. Listen as Lynn Roush, LPC and Yvonne Bernard pull back the curtain on 5 pervasive myths Christians believe about addiction, the needed boundaries that will save your sanity, and the one truth that can offer you lasting peace. If you've ever felt stuck on the crazy-cycle of loving an addict, this hope-filled conversation is for you.

In this "Rewind & Reflect" (previously published) episode, we dive deep into the holistic health practices that empower entrepreneurs to not just survive—but thrive. We explore why self-care is a critical pillar for sustainable success, how rest isn't a luxury but a strategy, the transformative power of self-love and inner work, the role of discipline as a self-respect practice, and the importance of maintaining physical well-being when you're in the driver's seat of your business. Our guest is the insightful and compassionate therapist Jenay Hicks (MS, LPC, NCC). Jenay believes fundamentally in the human capacity to self-actualize—meaning to reach our fullest potential—and works with clients to clarify their “why” and navigate paths toward deeper fulfillment both personally and professionally. She highlights how many high-achievers look like they've “got it all together” on the outside, yet are running on fumes underneath—masking exhaustion and anxiety in the name of performance. Whether you're building a startup, scaling your service business, or leading a creative venture, this episode offers you the tools and mindset to reimagine success: one where your health, purpose, and profit all rise together. Tune in and leave not only inspired—but equipped to make holistic health your competitive advantage. Learn more and connect with Jenay Hicks at: jenayhicks.com

Angela Hromadko über die HPA-Achse, die Darm-Hirn-Achse und die zelluläre Achse, und was diese mit deiner Stressresistenz zu tun haben Fast jede zweite Person berichtet heute über Stress, Müdigkeit, Schlafprobleme oder innere Unruhe. Wusstest du, dass beim Thema Stress der Darm eine entscheidende Rolle spielt?  Das liegt an der sogenannten Darm-Hirn-Achse. Der Darm kommuniziert nämlich über Nervenbahnen, Hormone und Immunbotenstoffe direkt mit dem Gehirn. Und das nennt man eben Darm-Hirn-Achse. Sie beeinflusst Stimmung, Konzentration und Stressreaktionen. Wenn deine Darmflora, oder eben das Mikrobiom, aus dem Gleichgewicht gerät, kann der Körper Stressreize weniger gut abfedern.  Umgekehrt stärkt ein gesundes Darmmilieu die Fähigkeit, flexibel auf Belastung zu reagieren. Auf dieser wissenschaftlichen Grundlage haben wir Arktibiotic® Axis+ entwickelt, unser neues Nahrungsergänzungsmittel zur gezielten Unterstützung der Darm-Hirn-Achse. Und genau über dieses Produkt spreche ich heute mit der Produktmanagerin von Arktis BioPharma Deutschland, mit Angela Hromadko. Wir sprechen unter anderem darüber, wie das neue Produkt Axis+ entstanden ist - von der ersten Idee über die wissenschaftliche Recherche bis zur fertigen Rezeptur. Du erfährst, warum Stress so vielschichtig ist, welche drei Achsen in deinem Körper bei Stress eine Rolle spielen und wie genau Axis+ dich auf natürliche Weise unterstützen kann, wieder in deinen Takt zu kommen. Angela gibt dir einen spannenden Einblick hinter die Kulissen der Produktentwicklung und erklärt ganz verständlich, warum das Zusammenspiel von Darm, Hormonen und Zellen so wichtig ist - gerade in stressigen Zeiten. Wir sprechen unter anderem über

A conversation between Kim Golden, LPC & Theresa Barnes, Women's Discipleship Minister.-Life brings both joys and challenges. The hard moments can weigh heavy, and even the good gifts can quietly become idols. But when we bring it all before the Lord, we find freedom to worship Him fully. That's the heart of Behold, our first annual Women's Conference. Rooted in Psalm 121, we'll lift our eyes to the Maker of heaven and earth - the One who never sleeps and never fails. Together, we'll behold the Lord in worship and discover the steady truth: He has been holding us all along. We invite women of every age and season to join us for a weekend of encouragement, connection, and worship as we behold the One who holds us.

This episode explores how naming and checking intention — the deeper “why” behind a goal — helps clients (especially those with ADHD and executive-function challenges) keep going when motivation fades. Paul explains how intention works with common tools (SMART goals, time blocking, task chunking) and gives concrete examples clinicians can use in-session to build lasting buy-in, turn shame into course-correcting fuel, and decide the right frequency to revisit a client's why. Listeners will leave with simple, session-ready questions and examples (like reframing a vague “eat healthier” goal into a measurable nutrition target tied to the intention of having energy to play with kids) that make follow-through more likely.For more than 45 years, PAR has been publishing trusted assessment instruments that help their customers in the crucial work they perform every day.

Kim Jetter, LPC, presents a biblical understanding of stewarding our relationships well, especially as we spend time with family during the holiday season.

In this insightful episode, hosts Alison Seponara, MS, LPC and Taylor sit down with Dr. Kate Lyzenga-Dean, a functional medicine consultant, to explore an often-overlooked connection between low ferritin (iron storage) and anxiety symptoms. Dr. Kate breaks down what ferritin is, why it's essential for both mental and physical health, and how low levels can actually mimic or worsen anxiety, fatigue, and mood changes. Together, the trio uncovers how issues like heavy menstrual cycles, chronic stress, and H. Pylori infections can impact iron absorption and overall well-being. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who's been told “your labs are normal” but still doesn't feel like themselves.

In this conversation, SC Nealy and I discuss the impact of beliefs and oppressive systems on the creation of trauma, emphasizing the need for healthier approaches to spirituality and community involvement. We discuss their work in the LGBTQ+ community, with their dedication to the intersection of mental health and social involvement, where the role of the therapist doesn't just exist in the therapeutic space, but extends into advocacy for civil rights and support for minorities. Rather than promoting a binary choice of religious or secularism, we discuss the need for resources that support individuals who choose to remain within religious and/or spiritual communities while avoiding harmful ideologies. SC Nealy, LPC (they/she) is a therapist and owner of an all queer and trans-identifying therapy practice in Washington, DC that focuses on bringing therapists with lived experiences to the LGBT+ population. They specialize in religious trauma work and their first non-fiction book, Healing Sacred Wounds, will be published by Bloomsbury in Fall 2026. Visit lgbtcounselingdmv.com for more information, or follow SC Nealy online at @scnealy on Instagram and @booksbysarahrobinson on Facebook. www.lgbtcounselingdmv.com www.instagram.com/scnealy www.facebook.com/booksbysarahrobinson Takeaways Beliefs and oppressive systems can cause trauma. Spirituality can exist without harming others. Resources for deconstruction are often limited. Not everyone is ready to deconstruct their beliefs. Healthy engagement in religious communities is possible. Creating spaces for those who choose to stay is important. Support for mental health within religious contexts is needed. Deconstructing is not the only path to healing. Community health can be prioritized in spiritual practices.

Today on More Than Therapy, we have the profound pleasure of welcoming Leah Johnson, a transformational leader whose journey from a 25-year career in politics to a life devoted to creativity, healing, and joy is nothing short of inspiring. Leah is a best-selling author, internationally sought-after speaker, certified Intentional Creativity instructor, and retreat leader who helps people reconnect with their creative power and live intentionally aligned lives.After a long and demanding career in public service, Leah experienced profound burnout and depression, which became a catalyst for deep personal transformation. She courageously walked away from the identity and system that no longer served her and ventured into the world of art, spirituality, and self-advocacy.

What is an Instinctual Stack? Do you know yours? We all have three instincts. None of us are absent one. However, one does tend to be dominant.  But what are instincts and how do they influence how each type shows up in the world?  In today's episode, we revisit our conversation with Elan Benami, creator of the EnneaApp and author of  Enneagram Patterns & Poetics, to provide you with a great overview of Instincts, Subtypes, and the Instinctual Stack and how they can play out in your personal and professional life.    About Elan: Elan is an LPC with a MA in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology and BA in Philosophy. In addition to his own private counseling practice, Elan is the Clinical Director of People House - a non-profit that provides affordable counseling in Colorado. Elan was introduced to the Enneagram in 2008 by his first therapist. He then did intense studying with Lori Ohlson, who was his supervisor. Claudio Naranjo was Lori's primary teacher, so there is a deep kinship with his work. Other major Enneagram teachers who have shaped Elan include Helen Palmer, Russ Hudson, Don Riso, and Sandra Maitri. Elan and Lori Ohlson have co-facilitated many Enneagram classes/workshops, most of them in the narrative tradition. Through Lori's Enneagram material (of over 25 years of teaching the Enneagram), Elan created the EnneaApp, initially for the purpose of having something to quickly reference between sessions. Through the years, he has adapted the content to be more reflective of his own experience while also preserving Lori's lineage. The app has over 1.5 million downloads.

Kamilah shares her personal journey from pharmacist to therapist, including her own experience with burnout while building her private practice - and why knowing what to do wasn't enough to prevent it. They talk about why healthcare workers are uniquely vulnerable to burnout due to competitive training, emotional labor, and systemic constraints, and discuss the uncomfortable truth that resources (financial, social, and professional support) often matter more than resilience when it comes to recovery. The conversation covers practical strategies for healthcare providers, including the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, knowing when to refer out, and recognizing the signs that professional help is needed. Kamilah offers a free self-care guide for stress and burnout at InTouch Wellness, and both hosts emphasize that asking for help isn't weakness - it's wisdom.Resources mentioned → ⁠Kamilah's Self-Care Guide MEET DESTINY: Website / Instagram / BlueSky / YouTube / TikTokMEET GUEST: Website / Instagram / LinkedIREAD THE BLOG FOR THIS EPISODE→ Burnout Is Predictable - But Prevention Requires More Than Willpower w/ Kamilah JonesASK DESTINY ANYTHING→ Submit your questions hereFOR YOU, OUR PODCAST LISTENERS→ Join The Membership (ongoing support for staying regulated while living with chronic illness - This does not replace therapy, but it's a great addition to your regular therapy appointments)FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS
