In this episode of Raise It Up, with Dani Kagan, I sit down with Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe, an expert in stress, resilience, and performance, to unpack what it really means to do hard things and stay grounded through it all. Dr. Robyne shares how resilience isn't something we're born with but a skill we build through our daily habits, mindset, and relationships. Together, we explore how the way we speak to ourselves shapes our ability to handle life's challenges, and why self-compassion is often the key to bouncing back stronger.Dr. Robyne walks me through her five pillars of resilience (belonging, perspective, acceptance, hope, and humour) and how each one helps us feel more steady and less reactive. We also talk about the importance of recovery as part of high performance, and how gentleness with ourselves can create a more sustainable path to success. From managing stress in motherhood to redefining what “doing it all” really looks like, this conversation is a reminder that showing up with presence for ourselves and the people we love is what matters most.Listen now and share this episode with a friend who could use a reminder that real resilience starts with how we care for ourselves.Guest Links:Website: https://drrobyne.caInstagram: @dr_robynehdLinks:Website: http://www.danikagan.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/daniskaganYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@danikaganLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/danikagan
In this new season opener of Raise It Up, with Dani Kagan, I share why I decided to rename the podcast and how it feels more aligned with what this space is truly about: raising kids with intention, while raising the bar in business and in life. I talk about the real side of building a company as a mom, the mental and emotional shifts that come with it, and why success for women like us needs a new framework that fits the season we're in.I also walk through three simple daily habits that have helped me grow without the pressure of perfection, like choosing stretching over sweating, taking one small risk every day, and using my “future frame” gratitude exercise to shift from chaos to clarity. This episode is all about finding ease, consistency, and confidence as we build businesses and raise families at the same time.Tune in and share this episode with another mom or entrepreneur who's ready to raise it up right alongside us!Links:Website: http://www.danikagan.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/daniskaganYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@danikaganLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/danikagan

In the second half of our study of John chapter 2, we explore the Jewish expectation of a rebuilt Temple—one that would surpass even the glory of Solomon's Temple. Throughout the Second Temple period, Jewish writings imagined different scenarios: Some believed God Himself would rebuild it. Others expected the Messiah to oversee its construction. We'll walk through these ancient texts and discover how they shaped the hopes of Jesus' generation. Then, we'll unpack the shocking claim Jesus made: “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” In mystical Jewish thought, the “Original Adam” or “Heavenly Man” was seen as the cosmic body—the universe itself functioning as the Temple of God. The Apostle Paul draws from this imagery when he says we are members of one body and calls Jesus the “image of the invisible God” (Colossians 1:15). If the universe is God's Temple, and Jesus is its cornerstone, then His statement is far more than a metaphor—it's a revelation of how heaven and earth meet in Him.

From the responsorial psalm: "God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in distress. Therefore, we fear not, though the earth be shaken and mountains plunge into the depths of the sea. The waters of the river gladden the city of God, the holy dwelling of the Most High!" A reading from the holy Gospel according to John (Jn 2:13-22) Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up." The Jews said, "This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and you will raise it up in three days?" But he was speaking about the temple of his Body. The Jewish Passover is near, and many pilgrims travel to Jerusalem to worship at the temple. As Jesus enters the temple area, he finds people selling oxen, sheep, and doves. Money changers are seated there. In response, with a whip made of cords, he drives them all out and overturns the tables of the money changers. And he says to those selling doves, "Take these out of here, and stop making my Father's house a marketplace." John makes clear what would otherwise be puzzling. Jesus refers to the "temple of his Body" in the same way Saint Paul refers to the Spirit that dwells in God's holy temple: "Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" Where the Spirit of God dwells—our bodies—is not the place for a noisy, cluttered exchange of things and ideas but a quieted dwelling place to receive the person of Jesus. God, as a way to understand the Gospel, let me consider what today's feast represents for the Church and what it means to me. The dedication feast calls attention to the Church on earth as the Body of Christ and a sign of what is yet to be in our eternal dwelling place in heaven. The disciples recognized the zeal of Jesus in the temple area but only after the resurrection came to understand that the temple of the Body would need to die and rise before we also could be restored to eternal life. The Gospel acclamation says, "I have chosen and consecrated this house, says the Lord, that my name may be there forever." All thanks and praise to you, Lord, that you have made me to be your holy dwelling place even as I long for my eternal home in the life of the world to come. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
