What if your life isn't happening to you — but for you? In this New Year's Eve conversation, Kristin sits down again with evolutionary astrologer Robin Jillian, revisiting a dialogue that first took place years ago during a shared Dark Night of the Soul. This time, the lens is wider, deeper, and more precise. Together, they explore evolutionary astrology as a map of the soul's long arc — not predictive, not hierarchical, and not about “what's coming next,” but about why your soul chose this life, these patterns, and these turning points. This conversation moves through Pluto as the great initiator, shame as a form of amnesia, surrender as courage (not collapse), and the profound difference between spiritual bypassing and true embodiment. They speak candidly about trauma, relationships as mirrors, soul contracts, neurodivergent sensitivity, and what happens when your inner scaffolding can no longer hold who you're becoming. This episode is for anyone who has outgrown surface answers, quick fixes, and performance-based healing — and is ready to sit inside the deeper truth of transformation.About Robin JillianRobin Jillian is an evolutionary astrologer, author, and guide whose work focuses on soul evolution, Pluto dynamics, and embodied transformation. Her memoir, Hugging Trees in the Dark: Finding Courage to Free the Heart, chronicles her own Dark Night of the Soul and the rebirth that followed.

In this episode, I'm talking to high-performing women who feel disconnected from their bodies… not just physically, but energetically and emotionally too. If you've gone months or years avoiding mirrors and photos, skipping workouts, ignoring hunger or fatigue cues, hiding in your clothes, or outsourcing your worth to the scale, this episode is for you. You're not broken, but you are checked out. And it's time to check back in. I walk you through a four-phase reconnection framework designed to help you gently and powerfully rebuild trust with your body without guilt, shame, or extreme overcorrection. This is about moving away from punishment and into partnership. I want you to become the woman who doesn't just look good, but actually feels good in her skin again. We talk about honesty without shame, why performative discipline keeps women stuck, how to rebuild safety through pace and structure, why micro-commitments matter more than massive overhauls, and how reclaiming your personal standards is the key to lasting confidence and embodiment. This episode is an invitation to reconnect, not by going backward, but by doing it better this time. In this episode, I cover: Why high-performing women disconnect from their bodies Honesty without shame vs guilt spirals Compassion and accountability Performative discipline vs embodied discipline Pace, ramping, and evaluation for sustainable change Why extreme resets and challenges fail Micro-commitments and rebuilding self-trust Reclaiming personal standards without punishment Choice points and self-leadership Moving from punishment to partnership with your body   For the high-achieving hot girls that want to recover better, support glowier skin, and promote longevity through better cellular health, get 20% off your first order of Mitopure and make wellness easier than ever.

In this incredibly raw and hope-filled episode, actress Jen Lilley (Hallmark Channel, Great American Family, Days of Our Lives, The Artist) sits down with host Heather Creekmore to share the full story behind her 15-year battle with bulimia—and how faith, grace, and the power of honesty led her toward freedom. You may know Jen Lilley from her cheerful Christmas movies and bubbly TV roles, but behind the scenes, she silently struggled for years with an eating disorder. In this conversation, she doesn't hold anything back. Jen bravely walks us through her childhood, the devastating origins of her eating disorder, and the shame-filled secrecy that followed her well into adulthood—even after launching a successful career in Hollywood. But this is not just a story about struggle—it's about healing and truth. Jen opens up about the flawed advice and myths she encountered about eating disorders, the power of spiritual conviction over mere willpower, and the crucial turning point when she allowed herself to trust God fully with her recovery. She shares the deeply personal moment she finally brought her struggle into the light with her husband—and how that act of vulnerability ushered in a new season of hope and healing. Listeners struggling with their own cycles of shame, secrecy, or body-image battles will find comfort, challenge, and encouragement in Jen's passionate, faith-filled story.

In this episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan sits down with Nelson Whiting—bestselling author of Your Problem Isn't Pornography, certified clinical hypnotherapist, and founder of No Limits Hypnotherapy—for a grounded, expansive conversation about hypnotherapy as a form of deep repentance: getting beneath behavior to the belief systems that drive shame cycles, anxiety, compulsions, and spiritual disconnection.Nelson explains how real change happens when the conscious and subconscious mind come into agreement, why “time heals” is often a myth, and how prayer, meditation, and clinical hypnosis can help quiet survival mode, restore inner safety, and create rapid transformation through new perspective and new choices.

Whether you're single or married, young or old, finding and keeping meaningful and genuine personal relationships is what we all desire.In our digital age, relationship building is not easy. Young people are finding people to date on apps, and they are communicating with friends on social media. No matter whether you're married or single, we all need to understand how to have healthy relationships.College chaplain Erin Moniz is deeply attuned to the questions and concerns of today's emerging adults. In her new book, Knowing and Being Known: Hope for All Our Intimate Relationships (IVP, 2025), she explores the essential elements of healthy relationships, addresses the complexities of intimacy, and shines a light on the barriers that can impede genuine connection.What we discuss in this episode:* The secular culture says that the two key benchmarks of full adulthood are (1) Autonomy, and (2) Sexual Activity. * But the sad truth is that this hypersexuality and romance idolatry has seeped into the church. We still see adulthood in these categories, though they're framed slightly differently.* We begin to reimagine a theology that emphasizes the importance of intimacy in all our relationships (with God and with our fellow humans).* The Fall introduced shame into our relationships. Shame is destructive and is not the same as guilt or conviction. * Erin explains how vulnerability is the currency of intimacy.* While marriage and family remain important, the church and other ministries need to focus on what true friendship is and how to develop friends.

Josiah Hesse grew up in northern Iowa during the farm crisis of the 1980s, a moment of economic collapse, rising poverty, and quiet desperation across the rural Midwest. In this episode, he joins Straight White American, Jesus to talk about his new memoir, On Fire for God: Fear, Shame, Poverty, and the Making of the Christian Right. Through his family's story—parents who poured everything into a prosperity-gospel church, even giving dollar-for-dollar what they earned—Hesse traces how faith, trauma, and economic pressure collided in a home and a church marked by dysfunction, scandal, and exploitation. What emerges is not a caricature, but a deeply human portrait of people searching for meaning, stability, and hope in a system that ultimately consumed them. Our conversation moves from the intimate to the national, mapping Hesse's personal journey onto the rise of the Christian Right from the 1980s to today's Christian nationalist movement. We talk about fear of the end times, purity culture, religious trauma, sexuality, and the long road out of evangelicalism—alongside the compassion required to reckon honestly with the people and places that shaped him. Hesse, a journalist based in Colorado, brings unflinching analysis and rare empathy to a genre crowded with deconversion stories, showing how the forces that shaped his childhood are now shaping our public square. Subscribers can stick around for an extended discussion on how his story illuminates the political and moral crises we're living through right now. www.axismundi.us www.straightwhiteamericanjesus.com Hesse, On Fire for God: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/721105/on-fire-for-god-by-josiah-hesse/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Some wounds are not from one moment, but years of surviving what you never should have faced. On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with trauma-informed psychotherapist Anjalia McGoldrick to explore how real healing begins when you finally slow down and look within. This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in old patterns, gets easily triggered in relationships, or quietly believes it is too late to change. You will learn how to spot inner-child signals, stop projecting pain onto others, and rebuild self-worth through compassion, forgiveness, and daily practice. About the Guest: Anjalia McGoldrick is a trauma-informed psychotherapist, metaphysician, and motivational speaker. She founded Life in Balance Counseling and Wellness Center and is the author of The Child I Left Behind. Key Takeaways: Treat triggers as signals: name the emotion, then ask “where do I feel this in my body?” Replace blame with curiosity: “What old story is this activating in me?” Practice inner-child reparenting: respond with reassurance, not criticism. Watch for avoidance habits (overworking, numbing behaviors) and choose one honest step instead. Use forgiveness as self-release: write what happened, what you learned, and what you needed then.

If you've been doing all the right things—working out, eating better, praying more—but still feel stuck in your body, your mindset, or your faith… this episode may explain why. In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Shaela sits down with licensed professional counselor and life coach Shelley Spence to unpack the connection between spiritual freedom and physical health—and why so many Christian women stay trapped in cycles of guilt, control, perfectionism, and shame when it comes to their bodies. This episode goes far beyond surface-level fitness or nutrition advice. It explores what it really means to walk unhindered with God—and how unaddressed spiritual bondage often shows up as body image struggles, emotional eating, burnout, program hopping, and frustration with health results. In this episode, you'll hear: Why you don't have to believe every thought you think—and how to test thoughts against Scripture What spiritual freedom actually looks like (and why it's not just “trying harder”) How shame, fear, and hidden beliefs can block progress in weight loss, fitness, and body confidence Why healing happens in layers, not overnight—and why plateaus aren't failures The surprising connection between body image, identity in Christ, and midlife changes How Christian women unintentionally place their worth in their appearance, discipline, or consistency Why striving for control in health often leads to more exhaustion—not results How to gently move toward freedom if food, wine, scrolling, or distractions have become coping tools The biblical truth that God's grace is sufficient, even when your body feels weak or uncooperative Shelley also shares her own journey through spiritual freedom using the Keys to Freedom Bible study, how the Lord revealed hidden areas of “playing small,” and what it means to reclaim surrendered ground—spiritually and physically. This conversation is for the Christian woman who: Feels tired of trying to “fix” her body Is overwhelmed by health advice but still not seeing results Wants freedom from guilt, legalism, and perfectionism Desires health that honors God—not idolizes discipline Is ready to stop striving and start walking in alignment with the Holy Spirit If you've been chasing change in your body but ignoring what's happening in your spirit, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.

Week 3 of the series " Beneath the Surface", contrasts the destructive power of shame with the redemptive purpose of conviction, showing that shame tells us we are wrong while conviction lovingly reveals that something we did was wrong and invites us toward life with Jesus. Through John 8 and the story of the woman caught in adultery, we see how Jesus responds to both self-righteous religious leaders and exposed sinners with conviction—not condemnation—offering freedom, honesty, and transformation. Shame isolates, distorts identity, and drives us to hide, but conviction is evidence of God's love, calling us out of hiding and into grace, repentance, and restored relationship. Jesus ultimately absorbs our shame on the cross, putting it to death so we no longer have to live under its weight. The core invitation is clear: reject the spiral of shame, respond to conviction with humility, and step into the abundant life of grace that Jesus offers.

As we hear about Peter's denial and the ensuing shame, we find that shame needs secrecy, silence and judgement to survive, but can  be overcome through authentic and vulnerable relationships

Hey friend!  Today we're talking about nervous system regulation. If that sounds "woo" to you, I get it. But this is biblical, and science is catching up. What We're Covering: When I got sober, I was SO dysregulated. I'd go straight into fight or flight over everything. I had to learn to catch myself and regulate instead of constantly reacting from trauma. The Messy Life Transformation Coaching Certification: 6 months of YOUR transformation first. Yes, you'll learn to coach others, but it starts with you. We can't pour from an empty well. Key Truths: You're not too much AND you're enough (Ephesians 2:10 - you're God's masterpiece) Taking care of yourself isn't selfish—it's the most selfless thing you can do The world will dysregulate you over and over. You have to regulate yourself internally You deserve a seat at the table, not standing in the corner in the dark This Certification Is For: People who want to build a coaching business Bible study leaders who want real transformation (not just head knowledge) Anyone tired of having all the answers Those called to help others but don't know where to start Whatever you've done or whatever's been done to you—God's not done with you.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Nicole McNichols, psychologist, professor at the University of Washington, and author of You Could Be Having Better Sex, for one of the most honest, research-backed conversations we've ever had about sex, intimacy, and connection in long-term marriage.   This isn't about sex positions, tricks, or "trying harder." It's about why good marriages lose momentum over time, how pressure and expectations quietly kill desire, and why emotional connection is often the real foreplay. Dr. Nicole breaks down why scheduling sex can backfire, how shame and guilt around sex are learned early, and how curiosity—not performance—creates the kind of intimacy couples actually crave. I also share personal stories from my own marriage about connection, timing, and why mediocre sex just to "check the box" no longer works. If you want a healthier, more connected sex life, this episode gives you a roadmap grounded in science and real-life experience.     Timeline Summary [0:00] Why this episode isn't about sex positions or tricks [1:26] Introducing Dr. Nicole McNichols and her background [2:09] Why scheduling sex can quietly backfire [2:36] How pressure and expectation kill intimacy [2:58] Emotional connection as the real foreplay [3:36] Why intimacy dates matter more than sex calendars [5:18] How Dr. Nicole became a "sex professor" by accident [6:10] Loneliness, disconnection, and the role of sexual health [7:08] Shame, stigma, and misinformation around sex—especially for women [9:14] Why healthy sex improves forgiveness, health, and longevity [10:25] The failure of shame-based sex education [12:10] Countries with sex-positive education and better outcomes [13:18] Identifying the sources of shame we carry into marriage [15:09] Why sex shouldn't be the first thing sacrificed in busy seasons [16:07] Why conversations about sex should happen with clothes on [17:00] Using curiosity instead of pressure to improve intimacy [18:11] Announcement: Dad Edge Alliance February focus on intimacy and attraction [20:03] Curiosity vs. agenda in hard conversations [21:17] Why scheduling sex alone doesn't work [22:09] Creating the right context and mood for intimacy [23:24] Sexual effort that creates pressure instead of desire [24:55] Emotional lead-up and responsive desire [26:01] Initiation–rejection cycles and resentment [27:23] "Intimacy dates" and reconnecting outside the bedroom [29:11] Larry shares a personal story about connection over convenience [31:26] Choosing quality connection over mediocre sex [33:17] Maintenance sex vs. meaningful sexual connection [35:04] Balancing connection and realistic expectations [37:22] Long-term rejection cycles and rebuilding intimacy [39:00] Hormones, menopause, and why libido changes aren't personal [41:29] Division of labor, resentment, and loss of identity [43:48] Gottman research and why distance doesn't heal intimacy [45:43] Making your partner feel seen and heard [47:23] Listening vs. fixing in emotional conversations [49:13] Resources for better conversations with your wife and kids [49:31] Dr. Nicole's book and New York Times features [50:44] Where to find Dr. Nicole and her work [53:08] Why improving your sex life is a powerful way to start 2026     Five Key Takeaways Pressure and expectation kill desire, while curiosity and emotional safety create attraction.  Emotional connection is often the real foreplay, especially in long-term marriages.  Scheduling sex without context can backfire if couples don't create space to reconnect first.  Sexual shame is learned, and identifying its sources is the first step toward healthier intimacy.  Better sex isn't about frequency—it's about quality, safety, and connection.        Links & Resources 25 Intimate Conversation Starters: https://thedadedge.com/25questions Conversation Cards for Kids (Ages 5–Teen): https://thedadedge.com/kidquestions Dr. Nicole McNichols – Faculty Spotlight (University of Washington): https://psych.uw.edu/newsletter/summer-2020/faculty/faculty-spotlight-on-nicole-mcnichols New York Times – Modern Love Podcast Feature: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/podcasts/modern-love-better-sex-tips.html Book — You Could Be Having Better Sex Episode Show Notes & Resources: https://thedadedge.com/1430     Closing Remark If this episode gave you language, clarity, or hope around intimacy in your marriage, please rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.

He returned to Mason City, Iowa — with a journalistic lens— to better understand his evangelical upbringing, and the social and economic forces that shaped it.

When there's sin and shame in your past, it can be difficult to talk to others about it. But Portia Collins says talking about it not only helps you walk in freedom, it shines the spotlight on the magnificent grace of God.

Have you ever thought, If I just fixed that one thing, I'd finally feel OK? In this episode of Enough, the Podcast, we're talking about body image, shame, and the quiet fix-it logic so many women live inside — especially in midlife. My guest, Kate Gies, was born without an ear and underwent 14 reconstructive surgeries as a child, each one promising to finally make her whole. What she learned — far earlier than most of us — is that fixing the body rarely delivers the relief it promises. This conversation isn't about giving up on your appearance. It's about questioning what you're asking your appearance to do for you. We explore: Why the beauty industry relies on low-grade shame to keep us fixing How body image becomes a stand-in for deeper questions about worth The myth that one more improvement will finally make you feel enough What wholeness looks like when it isn't tied to perfection How to tell the difference between choice and conditioning If you've ever negotiated with your reflection… If you care about how you look and resent how much it matters… If you're curious about what changes when appearance stops being proof of your worth… This episode will land. Press play and consider what might be driving your appearance-related decisions – zero judgment; no fixing (or solutions;) just pure curiosity.    LINKS Kate Gies's website (and her book, It Must Beautiful To Be Finished).

Come to my Heaven on Earth Masterclass Friday, Jan 30 (donation-based Zoom + in-person in Wheaton with lunch) and learn how to co-create a Heaven on Earth reality using the angel messages I received in meditation: https://julie-jancius.mykajabi.com/my-heaven-on-earth-build-the-best-years-of-your-life?preview_theme_id=2164447460 Reimagining Manifestation with Steffani LeFevour Beautiful soul, this episode is for anyone who wants to manifest with more clarity, less pressure, and a deeper connection to identity, joy, and divine guidance. Julie is joined by Steffani LeFevour (@Coachwithsteph on Instagram), a coach and teacher who has been living and teaching personal development for decades. Steff shares her journey from working a full-time job to creating her first business hosting spiritual authors and speakers in Chicago, then stepping fully into coaching and conscious creation. Together, they talk about the evolution of manifestation, why identity comes before results, how to ask for guidance instead of chasing outcomes, and why you have to flex the muscle of dreaming bigger. Steff also breaks down her practical four-step manifestation method and explains why the final step, being happy now, is the real doorway to receiving. This conversation is especially supportive if you feel called to more, but you are unsure how to transition, you doubt yourself, or you keep stopping at the first breadcrumb of guidance.
