In this episode of Life Check Yourself, I sit down with writer and self-healing advocate Alexis Leigh, author of Pain Is a Portal to Beauty: Stunning Discoveries After Loss, Psychedelics and Feeling It All. With roots in Wharton, law school and the corporate world, she shares how a single moment in the woods cracked open a life that looked "perfect" on paper but felt empty inside, and how following that inner voice led through divorce, deep emotional work and psychedelic journeys into a life of authenticity, love and radical self-trust.     About The Guest Alexis Leigh is a writer and advocate for self-healing through unconventional methods, including psychedelics and deep inner work. She left a successful career in finance and consulting, holds a BS in Economics from Wharton and a JD from Lewis and Clark Law School, and now lives between Oregon and Maui with her partner and three boys. Her memoir, Pain Is a Portal to Beauty, explores how feeling deeply, rather than numbing out, can turn grief and loss into clarity, meaning and beauty.     3 Main Takeaways Answer the inner wake-up call instead of settling for a "good enough" life (01:52) Use everyday emotions as portals instead of numbing them away (17:11) Trust body wisdom and courageous tools to turn pain into power and self-leadership (24:26)     Main Topics, Timestamps, Explanations & Notable Quotes • Topic 1: When Your Life Looks "Fine" But Feels Like A Tragedy Timestamp: 01:52 – 11:13 What this unlocks: Hearing an inner voice that says, "If you die today, your life will have been a tragedy," forces radical honesty. It challenges the belief that gratitude means tolerating loneliness or emptiness. Letting that truth land can be the moment a person finally gives themselves permission to want more love, more meaning and a different life, even when everything looks "fine" from the outside. From there, every pattern, relationship and identity becomes open to being questioned and redesigned. Notable quotes: "I was walking in the woods in the summer of 2020 and I heard a voice that said, 'If you die today, your life will have been a tragedy.'" "I had all of the categories, but I did want more love and more meaning. I just kind of thought you should not want that." "To hear that your life is a tragedy, it is like everything is not working. That is not like your life needs a little tweaking. That is like throw it in the trash." How this affects someone listening: Letting in the possibility that a "have it all" life can still be tragic breaks the spell of settling. It shows that longing for more is not selfish, it is truthful. Once that truth is acknowledged, a person can stop negotiating with their own sadness and start redesigning their foundation instead of endlessly rearranging the furniture on top of it.     • Topic 2: Feeling Feelings Instead Of Numbing – Turning Tiny Triggers Into Portals Timestamp: 17:11 – 23:32 What this unlocks: Painful emotions often get buried under food, wine, screens or busyness. Removing those coping habits, even briefly, can stir up anger, panic or irritation. Those first reactions are not proof that something is wrong; they are the doorway. Meeting them with curiosity instead of judgment turns daily annoyances and "overreactions" into chances to release old grief, anger and fear. Over time, this builds emotional muscle and makes it easier to stay present instead of collapsing into victimhood or self-criticism. Notable quotes: "Our bodies protect us from these feelings when we are not ready to look at them… my body dissociated from feeling, numbed me completely when my mom went away when I was young." "It is not about how can I go from not feeling anything to feeling everything. It is about how can I go from not feeling anything to even recognizing what is a feeling." "As soon as you notice that you are feeling victim, then you can be sweet to the part that is feeling victim… none of it has to ultimately land in judgment." How this affects someone listening: Seeing emotions as parts that need care, rather than flaws that need fixing, rewires the entire healing journey. Small triggers stop being proof that progress is failing and become guidance toward what still needs love. This softens inner criticism, reduces shame and makes deep emotional work sustainable instead of exhausting.     • Topic 3: Psychedelics, Body Wisdom and Becoming Bigger Than Outcome Timestamp: 14:59 – 27:10 & 34:32 – 35:37 What this unlocks: When the thinking mind is in charge, decisions get stuck in fear, logic loops and "what ifs." Dropping into body wisdom and, for some, working with medicines like MDMA, psilocybin or ayahuasca can help unpack stored pain that blocks intuition. As layers of grief clear, self-trust grows. Life's events still hurt, but they no longer define identity. A person begins to feel bigger than any outcome and capable of leading themselves, instead of endlessly searching for someone else with the answers. Notable quotes: "My body is so brilliant and my brain tries so hard to be in charge… most of the time my body is like, I know this." "Psychedelics helped me unpack that pain so that then I could access my own wisdom… now I can lead myself in my life in a way that I could not before." "I no longer feel like the world is out to get me… recently I have started doing this thing where it is like, okay, if this thing happens, or if the opposite thing happens, I am the same." "I take every emotion that I feel that does not just kind of pass on its own and I journal with my part." How this affects someone listening: Learning to trust inner guidance over external validation changes how choices are made in love, work and healing. Pain stops being a threat and becomes information. With that shift, risks feel more possible, endings feel less like failure, and it becomes easier to walk toward a bigger, more aligned life without needing guarantees.  

Menopause does not wait until you feel “old,” and it does not only live in your hot flashes. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Lauren Streicher, one of the leading experts in menopause and sexual medicine, to talk about sexless relationships, painful penetration, and why so many women suffer in silence when solutions exist.We break down what really happens to your hormones, blood flow, muscles, nerves, and brain during perimenopause and postmenopause and how all of that shows up in your sex life. Dr. Streicher explains why painful sex is never something you should push through, why lubricants on their own rarely fix the problem, and why local vaginal estrogen is one of the safest and most misunderstood treatments in midlife.We also talk about access to care. Who helps you when your doctor shrugs, you live outside a big city, you are on Medicare, or you survived cancer and nobody ever mentioned sex in your follow up. Dr. Streicher shares what a real sexual medicine consult looks like, why pelvic floor physical therapy often changes both back pain and bedroom pain, and why there is no expiration date on your vagina, even after years of a dry spell.If you are in a sexless relationship, scared of hormones, or confused about where to start, this episode will give you language, options, and hope, plus a roadmap to Dr. Streicher's new deep dive audio course, “Come Again,” for women and professionals who want real data, not fear.In This Episode:00:00 – Welcome and show intro.00:32 – Why sexless relationships link to menopause.02:10 – Menopause is not an “old woman's” issue.04:20 – Sexual problems that start before menopause.06:30 – What a normal sexual response needs.09:25 – How estrogen loss affects sex and desire.12:40 – What happens in a sexual medicine consult.15:20 – Why doctors rarely refer to sexual medicine clinics.18:05 – Telehealth for menopause and its limits.21:30 – Why menopause never fully “ends.”25:05 – Painful sex and the need for accurate diagnosis.29:10 – Vaginal estrogen use, placement, and safety.33:15 – Partners, pain, and the “use it or lose it” myth.36:40 – Pelvic floor pain, SSRIs, and low libido.38:40 – Wrap up and closing message.Want a deeper look?

Pastor Gabe begins our new teaching series, Advent.

This week at Venture, we welcomed Pastor Jared Ming from Higher Vision Church as he continued our Journey Through Ephesians series with a powerful message from Ephesians 5. Pastor Jared teaches what it means to “be imitators of God” — that following Jesus is not just about believing, but about becoming more like our Father. Through humor, personal stories, and deep biblical insight, he unpacks two life-changing truths: 1. Walk in Love Love isn't just emotion — it's action, sacrifice, generosity, and self-control. Jared shows how true love is expressed through giving, and how it also means restraining the desires and behaviors that lead us away from God. 2. Walk in the Light We are called to leave the darkness behind. Jared challenges us to disconnect from anything that keeps us from God's best and to step fully into the light — through confession, truth, repentance, and following Jesus wholeheartedly. This message is practical, challenging, and full of moments that will help you grow closer to God and look more like Him in your daily life. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome to Venture Church Online00:06 – Drop your location in the comments00:20 – Service intro00:42 – Pastor Jared Ming takes the stage01:07 – Honoring Pastor Brandon, Pastor Di, and the team01:23 – About Higher Vision Church01:38 – Thanksgiving weekend humor02:03 – “Drumstick” joke02:24 – Diving into Ephesians 502:41 – Standing for the reading of God's Word02:57 – “Be imitators of God”03:31 – Opening prayer03:58 – What does it mean to imitate God?04:17 – Mimicking your Father in heaven04:42 – Family photo illustration05:19 – Do you resemble your Father spiritually?06:25 – What imitation really looks like06:49 – Encouraging the room07:16 – The call to “walk in love”07:56 – Love expressed through giving08:41 – God loved and gave09:05 – The five love languages09:27 – Gift illustration with Pastor Morgan10:51 – It's not love if there's no substance11:13 – Showing love through generosity and forgiveness11:43 – Love is demonstrated through action12:27 – Love is expressed through self-control12:59 – Hard topics: sexual immorality13:28 – Why Paul addresses sexuality14:28 – Fornication explained15:08 – God's call to holiness16:01 – Coveting and desires16:35 – Desires become actions16:57 – God protects us through boundaries17:53 – Love restrains18:01 – Controlling your words18:27 – All communication matters19:15 – Every word is recorded19:44 – Our words justify or condemn20:06 – Life and death in the tongue20:52 – The power of confession21:34 – Your words shape your future22:11 – Speak life, not defeat22:37 – Don't be deceived by empty words23:21 – Cultural lies vs. biblical truth24:06 – Reaping the results of belief24:51 – Speak God's promises25:19 – “The best is yet to come”25:35 – Walk in love recap26:15 – Point 2: Walk in the light26:35 – Leaving darkness behind27:06 – Know what is acceptable to God27:42 – Why you need the Bible28:15 – Light reveals what darkness hides29:17 – Stop blaming darkness — turn on the light29:53 – Jesus is the light30:15 – Jesus wants followers, not fans30:38 – Disconnect from darkness31:26 – “No thank you” illustration from Elf32:47 – What fellowship with darkness looks like33:37 – Expose what's hidden34:18 – Painful but necessary healing34:45 – Story of the plantar wart36:22 – It can't heal until you reveal36:50 – Break fellowship with darkness37:22 – Time to walk in love and light37:41 – Salvation invitation38:29 – Call to repentance39:12 – Prayer of salvation40:12 – Prayer over the church40:45 – Pastor Di wraps up service41:27 – How to go deeper this week41:47 – Christmas season starts next week41:53 – Closing remarks42:00 – End

If you've tried to “work on yourself” as a husband, to transform from weak to confident, and it still hasn't stuck… and your wife still doesn't desire you...this one's for you.You build new habits for a week or two, white-knuckle your way through being “more patient,” “more spiritual,” “more romantic”… and then your wife's look tells you the truth: nothing really changed. The shame hits. You try harder. It fails again.That cycle is PAINFUL— and it is not how the Kingdom works.In this episode I'm unpacking why self-improvement keeps Christian men stuck and how the Holy Spirit actually transforms you from the inside out — from “weak, ashamed, spinning your wheels” into a man who walks in quiet confidence, masculine presence, and supernatural power. Not a man obsessed with avoiding sin… a Word-made man who embodies the promises of God.In this episode we cover:Why the version of faith you inherited feels disappointing and powerlessThe brutal problem with “Christian change methods” (just pray, read, avoid sin…)The difference between behavior modification and identity overhaulHow shame slowly poisons your transformation attemptsWhat it means to become a “word made man” instead of a rule-keeperHow the Holy Spirit convicts you into hope, not condemnationThe simple Kingdom way to renew your mind and tap real dynamite powerHow this inner transformation turns you into a confident, attractive husband

While Dani was emotionally aware and clear on her boundaries, Jack's mixed signals created a painful pattern of confusion and disconnection. Through their journey, Nina shows how emotional awareness can protect you from staying stuck in cycles that hurt. If you've ever questioned someone's behavior or felt emotionally stretched by someone who wouldn't fully show up, this episode will help you understand why—and what to do about it.What you're going to walk away with:

n this week's episode of the UKRavens Podcast, the crew dig into the Ravens' latest rollercoaster outing against the New York Jets, mixing the usual laughs with a hard look at what's working, what's wobbling, and what still feels stuck in first gear.The episode opens with some fun frustration at the viewing experience itself, as the broadcast's relentless ad cycle becomes a storyline of its own. From the repeat Dazn spots to the Bitpanda commercial that's now permanently etched into memory, the discussion taps into a very real part of modern NFL fandom: sometimes the ads feel as unavoidable as a third-and-long.From there, the focus shifts to the broader game-day vibe and the way fans follow the Ravens wherever they are. Even without a perfect setup, the atmosphere around NFL Sundays still finds a way to feel big, communal, and properly alive — which adds another layer to how this game landed emotionally.On the field, though, the mood tightens. The Ravens' offense is once again under the microscope after another sluggish start. A familiar pattern shows up early: unsteady opening drives, a first half that feels like it's being played at the opponent's pace, and a sense of inconsistency that's starting to wear thin. The conversation points to the growing urgency of finding rhythm earlier, rather than relying on second-half corrections.A key thread throughout is player health and what it might be doing to the offense's ceiling. There's a close look at Lamar Jackson's movement and decision-making, with the concern that hesitation or reduced burst could be a sign of something not quite right. Whether it's injury, caution, or game-plan limitation, the ripple effect is obvious — when Lamar isn't fully unleashed, the whole attack feels narrower.That ties straight into the passing-game frustrations. Dropped balls, missed opportunities, and struggles to consistently create separation keep popping up, and the crew debate whether the root cause is execution, design, or both. There's at least one silver lining in the low turnover risk, but it's hard to feel settled when the aerial game still lacks reliability.Overall, it's a classic Ravens “win that doesn't feel like one” type of breakdown: plenty to like in flashes, but too many recurring issues to ignore. The episode lands on the note that the talent is there and the season is still alive, but the offense needs sharper identity, better health, and cleaner starts if this team wants to go where it thinks it should.

The Cardinals dropped to 3-8 after a 27-24 overtime heartbreaker against the Jaguars on Sunday at State Farm Stadium. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi, and former NFL linebacker Lorenzo Alexander break down the small details that contributed to the loss, a defense that generated four takeaways, defensive lineman Walter Nolen III reaching the end zone in just his fourth NFL game, and the rapid rise of receiver Michael Wilson.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sex in your dysfunctional, painful, toxic marriage is impacted by the problems. Sexual dissatisfaction is high when you have anger, hurt, and rejection and many unresolved problems. You don't feel like being intimate with a person who causes you pain and doesn't care. Christian marriage advice often tells you to have more sex because your body belongs to your husband. Yet, doing that only makes you feel worse. Setting boundaries with sex is discouraged, but you need to know the scriptural truth about what you can do to deal with sex in your dysfunctional, painful, toxic marriage.

Deeply Rooted 2025 | Workshop B: The Hard Yes: Finding Peace in Painful Obedience feat. Lissy Dillon by Jubilee Church

Do you ever get stuck in loops of overthinking, rumination, or obsessive thoughts that drain your joy and hijack your peace?This episode is for you.In today's solo teaching, Johanna breaks down a simple yet profoundly transformative tool: the Four Questions of Inquiry, inspired by Byron Katie's book, Loving What Is. This approach helps you untangle painful thoughts, soften emotional resistance, and free your nervous system from constant tension.This practice doesn't bypass your faith or your leadership. Instead, it creates mental clarity, emotional spaciousness, and spiritual receptivity, so you can hear God more clearly and move through life with softness, trust, and inner freedom.Johanna explains how inquiry works step-by-step using real examples, including the thought “I'm doing this wrong” and the everyday frustration of “my husband should pick up his socks.” You'll learn how to recognize the hidden thoughts that keep you tense, reactive, and disconnected, and how to release them so you can return to peace, presence, and feminine receptivity.She also shares how this process ties beautifully into the Heroine's Journey (the path of feminine wholeness), helping you move out of resistance, back into embodiment, and deeper into your divine assignment.Why certain thoughts feel “true” even when they're just mental noiseThe 4 Questions of Inquiry and how to use them with any painful thoughtHow to stop fighting reality, and why acceptance is not passivityThe difference between mental resistance and aligned actionHow rumination disconnects you from your feminine flow and presenceWhy inquiry creates emotional space for God's guidanceHow to use turnarounds to expand perspective and relieve sufferingHow inquiry can be used in relationships, marriage, business, and daily lifeHow inquiry supports the Heroine's Journey: wholeness, embodiment, and inner peace“You can be right or you can be at peace. Which one will you choose?”“Our thoughts are not truth — they're stories. Some lead to freedom, some lead to suffering.”“You can't rush inquiry. It's a softening into truth, not a performance.”“The moment you stop fighting reality, you free up enormous energy to receive what God is giving you.”FREE GIFTS

2 Samuel 15:13-27

When the colder months trigger grief, anxiety, or seasonal depression, Psalm 94:19 offers an anchor: God’s consolation brings real joy even when our hearts feel heavy. Fall and winter can stir painful memories, shorten our daylight, and intensify emotional weight—but these seasons don’t have to be walked alone. God meets us in the darkness, understands the sorrow we carry, and invites us to bring every fear, memory, and ache to Him for comfort and healing. Highlights Seasonal shifts can stir grief, trauma, or depression, making fall and winter emotionally overwhelming. Psalm 94:19 reminds us that God brings joy even when anxiety runs deep. Talking with God—and with trusted loved ones or professionals—creates space for healing. Painful seasons don’t mean you’re alone; God fully understands the weight you carry. New memories, community, and small steps of connection can help soften the heaviness. With God, joy can return even to seasons marked by loss or sorrow. Healing often comes slowly, but God remains present and tender with every step. Gift Inspiration: Crosswalk's Holiday Gift Guide Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the season?

Full Transcript Below: When the Fall and Winter Seasons Feel HeavyBy Vivian Bricker Bible Reading:“When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.” - Psalm 94:19 Autumn is a season of beautiful leaves, crisp air, and an endless array of pumpkin-themed sweets. For many, the autumn season rings in fond memories and excitement for the upcoming holidays. However, for some, the colder months loom like a dark cloud. At one time, I, too, loved the autumn season as I was excited to see the leaves change, go trick-or-treating, and get ready for the start of the holiday season. However, each fall has a heaviness over it ever since my mom passed away a few autumns ago. Ever since then, it has been difficult to associate these months with anything else. Fall can be heavy, and it can be overwhelming at times for many of us. Perhaps, like me, you experienced a traumatic life event that clouds each autumn with sad memories. Or, perhaps you experience seasonal depression during the fall and winter - something that is common among many people. The days get shorter, and we’re left in darkness for much longer. Know that whatever it may be that is bringing heaviness into your life during this time, you are not alone. If you feel that fall is a difficult season to navigate, it is essential to talk with God as well as loved ones about what you are feeling. Reaching out to medical professionals can also be helpful if you ever have concerns about depression, anxiety, or thoughts of self-harm. Even if you only have minimal concerns around any of these things, be proactive about addressing them with your primary care provider. Intersecting Faith & Life: The Bible tells us, “When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy” (Psalm 94:19). Although fall can bring much sorrow into our hearts, God can also bring joy into them. Whenever our hearts are full of anxiety, sorrow, or pain, we need to go to the Lord in prayer. God's consolation will bring us joy. God understands the pain we are feeling and how certain seasons can cause painful memories or depression to resurface. Despite the pain and heartbreak we are experiencing, God can help us to see the light of life again. Even if you think you will never enjoy fall again or you won't be able to walk into autumn without pain, know that it is more than possible. All things are possible with God (Matthew 19:26). The heaviness may continue; however, try to allow God to heal your weary heart. God may provide healing through your family, friends, or spouse. Make new memories with those around you and treasure the memories of the past. We might always feel a bit heavy when fall comes around, but sometimes this heaviness can keep our loved ones close to our hearts. Why does this season feel especially heavy for you? How can you bring those things to God? He longs to bring joy to a weary heart - all you need to do is reach for Him.

If you suffer from severe menstrual cramps, this is for you. Find out how to stop menstrual cramps naturally by addressing the root cause with these 13 natural remedies for period pain. Never experience menstrual cramps again! 0:00 Introduction: How to reduce period pain0:23 What is a menstrual cramp? 1:30 What causes severe period cramps? 6:42 Vitamin D3 and painful menstrual cramps 12:38 13 natural remedies for period painToday, I'm going to show you how to relieve period cramps fast, and for good. There are two types of period cramps: the primary type is labeled idiopathic, and secondary cramps that are caused by fibroids, ovarian cysts, or endometriosis.Many women take NSAIDs, birth control pills, and Depo shots for period pain relief. The medical community generally discourages the use of natural remedies for menstrual cramps, but does not discourage the use of medication. Research has shown the effectiveness of vitamin B1 and vitamin E.Upon searching for the root cause, I stumbled upon the following clues:• Painful cramps are caused by pain chemicals called prostaglandins. • Vasopressin, which causes contractions and decreased blood flow, is elevated when you have menstrual cramps.• Painful period cramps are associated with high parathyroid hormone levels. • Women with painful menstrual cramps also have much higher inflammation in the uterus, often related to NF-KB. • Black women have a 33% higher likelihood of getting severe period cramps than white women. • Menstrual cramps are sometimes treated with calcium channel blockers. This led to the conclusion that the root cause of menstrual cramps is a severe vitamin D3 deficiency! Try the following natural remedies for period pain and say goodbye to menstrual cramps for good:1. Take 20,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily2. Take 400-600 mg of magnesium glycinate 3. Follow a low-carb diet4. Intermittent fasting5. Cod liver oil for pain relief6. Vitamin E7. Vitamin B18. Increase iron with red meat9. Zinc for vitamin D3 absorption10. Exercise11. Fenugreek12.

Autumn has a way of stirring change—new rhythms, new challenges, and sometimes, new wounds. Whether you’re navigating loss, transition, or a season that feels heavier than you expected, Isaiah 41:10 offers a grounding truth: God upholds you with His righteous right hand. Even when change feels overwhelming, His presence remains steady, strong, and unchanging. Highlights Seasons shift, but God’s presence stays constant and close. Painful change—loss, transition, uncertainty—can become part of a redeemed story in God’s hands. Isaiah 41:10 reminds us that God strengthens, helps, and upholds us. God goes before us and delights in us, offering peace in the midst of upheaval. Change doesn’t get the final word—God does. Leaning into Scripture and prayer can anchor your heart during difficult transitions. His love brings the hope needed to face whatever lies ahead.

Full Transcript Below: Embracing Change This AutumnBy Vivian Bricker Bible Reading:“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” - Isaiah 41:10 Throughout the seasons, we face various changes. Depending on your own individual experiences, some seasons hold more changes than others. When I was a kid, autumn was a major season of change because it was when I started school, had to figure out my class schedules, and tried to make new friends. I remember this caused me immense anxiety. I had to switch to an entirely new school when I entered middle school, and I didn't know anyone there. My sixth-grade year held a few massive changes that ultimately brought a lot of pain into my life. Due to bullying, my mom had to take me out of public school and started homeschooling me with my sisters for the following school year. Seasons of change come and go in our lives. Maybe this autumn happens to be a big season of change for you. Changes aren’t always bad, but it’s the tough ones that seem to leave the biggest marks on our lives. Perhaps you’ve lost a loved one, walked away from a marriage, or lost a job. Bring any of these pains and set them at the foot of the cross. Allow Jesus to transform these painful changes into part of your story; one where He is changing ashes to beauty. Intersecting Faith & Life: God tells us, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10). As God says in this passage, He is with us, He will strengthen us, help us, and uphold us with His righteous right hand. Regardless of the changes that are going on this autumn, He is still with you, and He will keep your heart steady. Some changes can feel unbearable, but they can become manageable when we know the Lord is with us. God goes before us, regardless of the storm we are facing. He takes great delight in us and rejoices over us with singing (Zephaniah 3:17). This can give us the strength that we need to face what is ahead. Turn to Him today and let His love give you the hope you need. The change you are facing may feel overwhelming, but it does not get the final word. God has already defeated all things. Whether this autumn brings much change or not, we know God is with us always, to the very end of the age (Matthew 28:20). May we all lift His Name in praise and worship today. Change can be hard. What are some changes you have had to go through in previous seasons? Did these changes impart any lasting lessons? What are some ways you can be reminded of God’s love and strength this autumn? Try a daily Bible study or prayer journal that can help you stay focused on His unchanging love.
