I tell my money coaching clients all the time that if their health isn't right, it doesn't matter how great their money is—they won't be able to make the most of it. You could have a six-figure salary and a robust investment portfolio, but if you're mentally and emotionally depleted from constantly putting everyone else first, none of it brings you peace or fulfillment. Mental health is something that doesn't get anywhere near enough attention, especially for women who are taught from a young age to be caregivers, nurturers, and people-pleasers. It impacts so many areas of our lives…our relationships, our career decisions, our spending habits, our ability to set boundaries…and deserves to always be a priority, not an afterthought. That's why I couldn't be more excited to welcome licensed marriage and family therapist Dr. Jamila Holcomb to the show today. With over a decade of experience helping individuals and families, plus her work mentoring future therapists at Florida State University, Dr. Holcomb brings invaluable insight into the people-pleasing patterns that keep so many women stuck. In this conversation, we're diving deep into how women can stop people pleasing and start prioritizing their own happiness, and how their mental health (and even their finances) will benefit as a result. As we look to close out another year, make sure you're starting 2026 with a renewed sense of self-love, worthiness, and healthy boundaries. Here's What You'll Learn in This Episode: Recognizing subtle signs you're stuck in people-pleasing patterns The connection between people-pleasing, burnout, and mental health How childhood and cultural expectations shape caregiving behaviors Practical first steps to start prioritizing your own needs without guilt The role of self-worth in breaking free from people-pleasing How people-pleasing shows up in money habits and financial boundaries Setting healthy boundaries for emotional, mental, and financial wellness Self-reflection practices to build self-trust as you enter the new year The Mental Health-Money Connection: People-pleasing doesn't just drain you emotionally—it shows up in your bank account too. From overspending on others to avoiding financial boundaries, learn how prioritizing yourself mentally leads to better financial decisions and true wealth. Here's a glance at this episode: [03:00] Dr. Holcomb's Journey: Over a decade in mental health therapy and what drew her to this field. [07:45] Irritability is a common symptom prescribed to women and Jamila believes it's connected to women overextending themselves. [17:57] Reclaiming Personal Time: Creating a list of neglected activities and how to reintegrate them. [30:08] Overwhelm is personal and systemic. It's important to remember that empowering yourself is a start to impacting the overall system. [36:21] Money and Self-Worth: How finances become tools for justifying worth and gaining love through people-pleasing. Rate, Review, & Follow: Did you love this episode?

If we want to please God, then we need to live for each other rather than living to please ourselves Think about it: Have you ever considered why God would push us not seek our own personal pleasures?
Do you ever feel like you're living a life designed by someone else? The expectations we carry - from family, culture, or society - often create hidden anxiety that drains our energy and disconnects us from who we truly are. Let's chat.
In this deeply validating and spiritually grounding conversation, Heather is joined again by Coach Michelle Keil, known as The Doodle Coach, who helps women quiet their inner critic, lighten their emotional load, and reconnect with their truest selves through creativity, doodling, and grace. Together they explore a pattern so many women of faith experience: serving from fear, guilt, and obligation instead of from divine connection and overflow. Michelle shares powerful principles around discerning motives, regulating our nervous system, and recognizing the subtle lines between Christlike service and self-erasure. With relatable examples, doctrinal insights, and gentle but liberating reframes, this episode helps listeners recognize when they are saying "yes" out of fear of disappointing others—and how to instead find the peace that comes from aligning with God.

What kind of spiritual leadership honors God? What is His calling on spiritual leaders? We look at Malachi chapter 2 and see His rebuke on the priests of Israel. Throughout this passage, we glean much wisdom on faithful spiritual leadership. Ultimately, we see the perfection of Christ, who is our high priest and authority at the right hand of God!

A Life Pleasing to God - Avoid a Heart that Devises Wicked Plans - Ryan Smith by The Church of Christ Wheeler Area
Speaker: Rob BerrethScripture: Hebrews 12:18-29Episode Overview:In Hebrews 13:1–3, the author moves from the truths of who Jesus is to the commands that flow from His grace. This sermon explores how genuine faith expresses itself through love—love for our brothers and sisters in Christ, love for strangers, and love for those who are suffering or sidelined. As we reflect on the deep, initiating love of Jesus—the One who welcomed us when we were strangers and suffered for us when we were lost—we find both the motivation and power to live lives pleasing to God. True worship is not confined to songs or services, but seen in everyday acts of love rooted in the gospel.Key Highlights:• The Gospel's Grammar: God's commands (imperatives) are always grounded in His finished work (indicatives). We love because Christ first loved us.• Brotherly Love Continues: The mark of a true disciple is enduring, family-like love within the church.• Hospitality to Strangers: Biblical hospitality extends beyond comfort or reciprocity—it welcomes those outside our circle just as Christ welcomed us.• Remembering the Sidelined: God calls us to identify with and care for the suffering, the forgotten, and the persecuted, just as Jesus did.• Pleasing and Serving God: When we love others, we not only please the heart of God but serve Christ Himself.Call to Action:Ask God to open your eyes this week to someone you can love sacrificially—whether it's a brother or sister who needs encouragement, a stranger who needs welcome, or someone suffering who needs to be remembered. Let your acts of love be an offering of worship, pleasing to the Lord who first loved you.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org
Today's episode is an intimate dive into one of the most misunderstood — yet deeply rewarding — dynamics in the world of Femdom and distance domination: the submissive sissy.Spoiler: It's not just about lace, lipstick, or humiliation.It's about surrender, self-discovery, and the quiet power found in your devotion to your Mistress.Have you ever asked yourself:“Why do I feel drawn to this role?”“Is wanting to serve a woman… weak?”“How do I truly become the sissy my Mistress deserves?”…then this episode is your permission slip to lean in.What We Explore:Why not all sissies are submissive — and not all submissives are sissiesThe emotional and psychological journey of embracing feminizationHow a true Femdom Mistress guides, shapes, and transforms her sissyThe paradox of control: giving up power to gain freedomThe sacred art of being of service — beyond just sex or choresWhy communication is the most important part of a D/s relationshipNavigating boundaries, vulnerability, and trust in a D/s dynamicThe myth of “more is better” — and why following her lead beats initiative every timeAnd the big one: How submission changes you… and how the submissive also changes Mistress.Remember, it's not about escaping who you are — it's about uncovering who you were meant to be under the gaze of a woman who sees you, owns you, and refines you.A skilled Femdom Mistress doesn't just dominate — she mentors.She holds space for your fears, your shame, and your curiosity.Above all, she rewrites your future whether you are:New to sissy trainingStuck in a cycle of self-sabotage or secret shameOr already serving but craving deeper connection and purpose…this episode will remind you:You're not broken.

A Life Pleasing to God - Avoid Hands that Shed Innocent Blood - Josh Pinion by The Church of Christ Wheeler Area
In this episode, we're having a real conversation about something so many agents and entrepreneurs fall into without even realizing it — client pleasing. You know, saying “yes” to every request, dropping everything to make them happy, and putting your own schedule, boundaries, and peace on the back burner. But here's the truth: you teach clients how to treat you. When you operate like a 24/7 on-call service, clients stop seeing your time as valuable. When you lead with confidence and boundaries, they rise to meet your standard. We'll talk about: The hidden cost of being “too available” How to shift from people pleaser to powerful CEO energy Simple boundary-setting phrases you can use without feeling guilty Real-life examples that build respect and authority with your clients This episode is your reminder that being professional doesn't mean being a pushover. It means creating a business that supports your life — not the other way around.
Without faith it is impossible to please Him.
