Podcasts about slowing down

In this rich and soulful conversation, I'm joined by Anja Žekelj, founder of Wigglebeat, to explore what it really means to heal our dogs, and ourselves, when we move beyond fixing, forcing, or striving for perfection.Anja shares her journey of working with dogs and the evolution of her Herbal Ball Therapy, a gentle, deeply intuitive modality that supports the nervous system, circulation, and emotional well-being of dogs - especially those who are sensitive, aging, or navigating recovery.But this conversation goes far beyond any single therapy.Together, we talk about:What it looks like to follow intuition and inner guidance when caring for our dogs, and how to tell the difference between fear and true knowingThe challenges and shadows of the holistic dog world, including pressure, comparison, and the subtle belief that we should be able to “do it all right”Why healing is not the same as fixing, and how acceptance can be one of the most loving and confronting acts of careThe emotional complexity of supporting a dog through change, decline, or uncertaintyAnja's deeply personal experience of caring for her senior dog after a stroke, and what that journey has taught her about presence, grief, trust, and letting goIf you've ever felt caught between your heart, your intuition, and the overwhelming noise of “shoulds” in the holistic space, then this episode is for you.To connect with Anja and learn more about her work, including her upcoming Herbal Ball Therapy workshop, visit her website:https://wigglebeat.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/wigglebeatConnect with me!Website: https://mysticdogmama.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/mysticdogmamaCome join my free Facebook group,  FETCH First Light.

I'm always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   What's the better health plan?  Daily stretching exercising or pumping up the weights?  Plus…we are guilty of tagging ourselves to certain days of the week and its proving to be a bad decision.    I'm Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it's my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It's still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Sometimes it feels like God has gone quiet — especially when you're overwhelmed, facing health decisions, or trying to make sense of conflicting advice. In this episode, we explore a different possibility: that clarity isn't missing because God isn't speaking, but because there's simply too much noise around us. This conversation is for Christian women who feel tired of trying to figure everything out on their own and who want a faith-centered way to move forward with peace. We talk about why Scripture values wise counsel, how God often brings clarity through others, and what it looks like to slow down enough to truly listen. Why Clarity Matters in a Noisy World When information is constant and opinions are endless, it becomes difficult to discern what truly matters. Scripture reminds us that wisdom is found not in rushing forward, but in seeking counsel and listening carefully. What the Bible Teaches About Wise Counsel The Bible consistently affirms the value of wise counsel. When we fail to seek it, we risk confusion and unnecessary struggle. God invites us to come to Him first — and He often uses other faithful people to help bring clarity. Why Health Decisions Can Feel So Confusing Health advice comes from every direction: doctors, practitioners, online experts, and trends that often contradict one another. Without discernment, this can leave women feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure of their next step. Slowing Down to Hear God More Clearly Clarity often comes when we intentionally slow down. Creating space for prayer, Scripture, quiet reflection, journaling, walking, or gentle practices can help calm the body and mind so we can better hear God's guidance. How God Uses Others to Bring Perspective and Peace God frequently works through community. Prayer, listening, and shared wisdom from trusted believers can bring reassurance, confirmation, and renewed peace when we feel overwhelmed. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 – When clarity feels hard to find and life feels noisy 00:20 – Who this episode is for and the foundation of faith-centered healing 01:12 – Choosing “clarity” as a Word of the Year 01:41 – A biblical example of what happens when counsel is ignored 02:38 – How wise counsel and prayer brought relief and direction 04:35 – What Proverbs teaches about wise words and healing 05:03 – Why health advice can feel overwhelming and conflicting 06:28 – How faith-centered clarity sessions can help sort through the noise 07:39 – Learning to slow down and listen for God's guidance 08:08 – Simple practices that support clarity and discernment 09:57 – Why timing matters, even when God gives a vision 10:25 – Invitation to a quiet Zoom gathering for prayer and Scripture Key Takeaways • God values wise counsel and invites us to seek Him first • Clarity often comes through slowing down, not rushing ahead • Health decisions feel less overwhelming when rooted in faith and discernment • God may use trusted people, prayer, and quiet reflection to guide next steps • Understanding and peace are often the first signs of true direction If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure what your next health step should be, you don't have to figure it out alone. I offer one-on-one Health Clarity Sessions designed to help you sort through the noise, gain understanding, and move forward with peace and discernment. You don't need to be in a crisis — this is simply for those moments when you're not sure what to do next.

The start of a new year often comes with an unspoken pressure to move faster, do more, and "catch up." And if you took time off over the holidays (even time you needed), you might be feeling a little behind right now.   In this episode, we talk about how you can reframe this feeling. Instead of pushing harder or forcing momentum, I talk about why slowing down, protecting your energy, and focusing with intention is often the fastest way to create real, sustainable growth. This conversation is especially for business owners who want to grow with more ease, clarity, and joy without sacrificing results.   If you're easing back into work, questioning your pace, or craving a more aligned way to grow this year, this episode will meet you exactly where you are and help you move forward without pressure.

And we're back! The new year can definitely bring up a lot of pressure and expectations, including feeling the need to set resolutions and figure everything out right away. In this episode, I share how I've been working on slowing down instead. Taking things day by day. Not living by my internal sense of urgency.I also reflect on what it's been like to notice louder thoughts and anxiety during the holiday break, the importance of checking in with yourself, and practicing self-compassion in these moments. As always, I hope this episode can remind you you're not alone and give you the permission you were looking for you to take things day to day, to listen to your body, and remind yourself that there's no need to rush into anything.STAY CONNECTED:INSTA: @trustandthriveTIKOK: @trustandthriveEMAIL: trustandthrive@gmail.com 

For our first episode of the year Cynthia has invited Caitie Corradino to discuss the importance of slowing down in life, particularly in relation to body image and self-care, even though it is very uncomfortable. Caitie compares slowing down in this way to what it might feel like to sit in fire. This is a very painful thing to overcome. They explore the challenges of making time for oneself, the emotional aspects of slowing down, and the role of healing practitioners in supporting this journey. The conversation emphasizes the need for intentionality in creating space for mindfulness and self-reflection, as well as the benefits of allowing oneself to feel a range of emotions. The episode concludes with practical tips for integrating these practices into daily life.Takeaways:Slowing down is a choice that must be made daily.Self-care practices should not feel forced or like another task.Experiencing discomfort is part of the process of slowing down.Creating buffers in your schedule can help reduce stress.It's important to have a supportive space when practicing mindfulness.Body avoidance can be a cozy place, but it's not healthy.Feeling emotions is essential for personal growth and healing.Practicing mindfulness can help improve body image.You don't need to achieve anything to deserve relaxation.Healing practitioners can provide valuable support in the journey of self-discovery.Apply for coaching w/Cynthia:  https://0u8h3wddwmr.typeform.com/StrategyCallDiscover the truth about HA:  click the link to download Cynthia's fact sheet that debunks common myths and misinformation! Website: https://www.periodnutritionist.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/period.nutritionistFor the full show notes - please visit my website: periodnutritionist.com

Send us a textIt's been a minute and before we close the chapter on Season 5, I wanted to come back with an honest, grounded update.2025 was a whirlwind. Being a homeschool mom of three, buying our dream home in Central Maine, expanding my business, and holding space for powerful women all at once has reshaped how I move, create, and lead. And it's also clarified something I've known intuitively for a long time: consistency for the sake of output doesn't work for me or my energy.In this episode, I'm sharing why the podcast is shifting away from a weekly schedule, what slowing down to speed up actually looks like in my business right now, and how I'm choosing depth, resonance, and intention over pressure and performance.This is an invitation for you to let go of what no longer fits, to stop forcing yourself into systems that drain you, and to trust that if you feel like you're meant for more…you're right. Expansion doesn't come from hustle. It comes from alignment, capacity, and permission.If you've been craving space to breathe, clarity around your next level, or reassurance that success doesn't require having it all together this episode is for you.Make sure you're subscribed and on my mailing list for updates on future episodes, interviews, and what's unfolding next.

Today, this episode is a brief reflection from me, recorded as a pause in the regular rhythm of the show. Rather than a guest interview, I'm speaking directly to you, my listeners, about the weight of trauma-informed work, the importance of rest, and what it means to show up honestly when the work feels heavy. For survivors, professionals, and advocates alike, this episode is a reminder that healing is not linear, strength is not measured by endurance alone, and slowing down is sometimes the most responsible choice. Regular guest episodes of Sexual Assault Survivor Stories will resume next week.

In this solo episode of the Everyday Business Problems podcast, Dave Crysler breaks down a lesson most leaders learn the hard way, going too fast often creates more problems than it solves. Using real examples from client work, technology initiatives, and even a home renovation gone wrong, Dave explains why rushing decisions, skipping steps, and chasing efficiency too early leads to rework, frustration, and stalled results. This episode challenges the instinct to "just move faster" and reframes what it really means to build momentum, align teams, and create lasting impact. What You'll Discover: What "slow down to speed up" actually looks like in real businesses. Why rushing implementations often leads to rework and hidden costs. How chasing efficiency inside silos hurts overall system performance. The difference between being efficient and being effective. Why clarity on the problem matters more than picking a solution. How FOMO-driven initiatives like AI and new tools fail without alignment. Practical ways to stay focused without trying to do less, just doing the right things first. If your team feels busy but stuck, or if every new initiative creates more chaos instead of momentum, this episode will help you pause, refocus, and move forward with intention.

I'm Gina Ryan, and I reflect on my personal journey as I navigate my first winter in Central New York after spending over two decades in the perpetual warmth of Hawaii. Moving from the lush, vibrant landscapes of Hawaii to the cold and snowy winters of New York has been a challenging yet transformative experience for me, sparking insights on the health benefits that winter can offer our nervous systems and mental health.I begin by discussing how the cold weather presents a mild, steady stressor that can unintentionally bolster our nervous systems. Each encounter with the cold, from the first sharp breath of freezing air to the challenges of navigating snow-covered pathways, acts as a form of natural exposure therapy. Instead of succumbing to panic, we are encouraged to build resilience and presence, fostering a sense of calm amid discomfort. This winter, rather than viewing the season as something to endure, I invite listeners to consider how it can teach us tolerance and mental strength, emphasizing compassion for ourselves as we adapt to environmental challenges.Moreover, winter grants us permission to embrace rest and reflection. I observe how nature instinctively slows down during this season, from the hibernation of wildlife to the way the trees withdraw. This natural pause offers us the rare opportunity to step back from our relentless productivity and find restoration in stillness. I share my own experience of improved sleep rhythms and a deeper emotional processing that arises when life becomes less hectic. In a world that often glorifies busyness, winter stands as a testament to the power of slowness and presence.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Slowing down is supposed to feel calming. For many women, it does the opposite.In this episode, Leah explains why rest can increase anxiety instead of relieving it, especially for women with a history of dieting, overtraining, chronic stress, or living in constant pressure. You'll learn how the nervous system adapts to prolonged activation, why movement and productivity can become primary regulation tools, and how rest intolerance develops at a physiological level.Leah breaks down the core education behind Empowered Foundations, including regulation, nourishment, recovery, and capacity building, and explains why forcing rest or “doing less” rarely works without first stabilizing the system underneath. This episode connects the dots between stress hormones, energy availability, training load, recovery debt, and why so many women feel better pushing and worse stopping, even when they are exhausted.If you've ever felt restless when you slow down, calmer after pushing yourself, or confused about why rest doesn't work the way it should, this conversation will help you understand your body with clarity instead of self blame, and show you what actually needs to come first for sustainable change.Empowered Foundations is a 12 week coaching container designed to stabilize health habits, unlearn diet culture, and reset your relationship with food, movement, and rest at the nervous system level.FOLLOW US:Instagram: @LeahHantmanCoachingBOOK a FREE Call to Explore Coachinghttps://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule/c1499aac/appointment/21465598/calendar/5295072?appointmentTypeIds[]=21465598

Send us a textAs we move into a new year, I found myself sitting with a question I don't hear talked about very often—at least not in a way that feels honest or useful. We spend a lot of time planning what we want more of, what we're willing to work for, and what we think things will “cost” us. But this week, I wanted to slow that conversation down and look at what quietly gets traded away in the background of our choices. In this episode, I explore a lens that has changed how I look at my health, my work, my relationships, and even how I decide what deserves my energy. It's not about doing more or trying harder— noticing what we may be giving up without ever meaning to. If you're heading into the year with goals, questions, or a sense that something important deserves more care, this is a conversation I'd love to have with you.Quote of the Week: “The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.” — Henry David ThoreauLet's go, let's get it done.

High performance leaders often feel guilty when they slow down, rest, or delegate. If decision fatigue, role pressure, or success without fulfillment resonates, this episode reframes guilt as conditioning — and opens a path to identity-level relief.Many high-capacity humans describe what they feel as guilt — especially when they slow down, rest, delegate, or step back from constant responsibility. But what if that word isn't telling the truth?In this episode of The Recalibration with Julie Holly, we explore why high performers experience guilt even when nothing is morally wrong — and why that feeling is often a conditioned nervous system response rather than a failure of character.If you're navigating burnout recovery, decision fatigue, role confusion, or the quiet ache of success without fulfillment, this conversation offers language, relief, and compassion. We unpack how early belonging patterns, family-of-origin dynamics, and performance-based attachment can wire the brain to equate contribution with connection — and why slowing down can feel risky even when it's wise.This episode gently challenges the cultural and spiritual misuse of guilt, clarifying that what many leaders call “guilt” is often the body responding to unfamiliar safety. That distinction matters — because language shapes identity, and identity shapes behavior.This episode is especially supportive for high-capacity humans in career transition or life transition who sense that the role they're in no longer reflects who they're becoming — yet don't want to burn everything down to find relief.In this episode, we explore:Why guilt isn't a moral signal — it's often a relational oneHow decision fatigue and over-responsibility impact belongingWhy slowing down can feel unsafe even when nothing is wrongThe difference between guilt, conditioning, and identity driftHow presence replaces pressure as a steadier internal guideToday's Micro RecalibrationWhen guilt shows up, pause and ask:What is my body afraid will happen if I don't carry this? Then gently offer:What's actually true right now?No forcing. No convincing. Just orientation.Team reflection: Where might worth be quietly equated with constant output — and what would shift if rest and clarity were modeled as leadership strengths?Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Monica Virga Alborno, founder of Wanderwild Family Retreats and former Fortune 500 energy engineer, joins me to talk about why moms tend to wear busyness as a badge of honor and what it's actually costing us. This isn't about adding another two-hour morning routine to your already packed schedule. Monica shares practical five-minute resets and why normalizing rest for our kids might be one of the most important things we do. Plus, you'll hear about her incredible family retreats that actually let moms vacation WITH their kids without the exhaustion that usually comes with it.In This Episode, I'll Cover:Why we wear busyness as a badge of honor and how to break that cycleThe difference between a "busy" day and a "full" day (and why it matters)Practical five-minute rituals to create spaciousness in your overwhelmed lifeHow living abroad shifted Monica's perspective on American mom cultureWhy asking for help doesn't make you lazy or less capableWhat family retreats that welcome children can teach us about slowing downConnect with Monica: www.wanderwildfamilyretreats.comwww.instagram.com/wanderwildfamilyretreatswww.substack.com/@wanderwildfamilyretreats ________________________________

What if saying no to big opportunities was the very thing that moved your life forward? In this powerful episode, Neeraja Ganesh shares the untold story behind her bold decision to walk away from a high-level corporate career not for burnout or backlash, but to stay aligned with what mattered most. Through honest reflection and raw storytelling, she reveals how intentionally slowing down led to an entirely new path: one fueled by purpose, visibility, and a mindset that reshaped everything. From choosing family over fast-tracked promotions to navigating reinvention without a clear plan, Neeraja's journey offers a deeply human look at what it really means to lead on your own terms. Together, we explore the quiet courage it takes to pivot, the mindset shift behind sustainable growth, and the question that guided Neeraja through each transition: “What's the worst that can happen?” If you've ever wrestled with imposter syndrome, feared stepping out of line, or wondered if slowing your pace meant losing momentum this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

The quiet moments we crave are often the ones we judge the most. In this episode, I explore the hidden pressure to “do more,” the discomfort that rises when we finally slow down, and the tender journey of learning to rest without guilt. If you've ever questioned whether your slower seasons still have value, this conversation will feel like a breath of relief.What part of your life is asking you to soften today?Related episodes to explore:•⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 162: Embracing Life's Duality: Beauty & Mess - https://youtu.be/dCM0y6P6JfQ• 158: 8 Weeks in Bali: The Truth About Moving Abroad - https://youtu.be/Ee6dbNiMNJ4

If the thought of taking a break makes you anxious, you're not alone. Let's talk about why so many women (and men) feel like everything will fall apart the moment they stop moving. In this episode, I'm unpacking three reasons why rest feels terrifying - from nervous system's addiction to urgency to the fear that your worth is tied to your output. More importantly, I want you to havepractical ways to start retraining your brain to trust yourself to rest. In This Episode, You'll Learn: The 3 reasons stillness feels scary How your nervous system gets addicted to urgency and constant motion Why high achievers tie their identity to productivity How to teach your nervous system that stillness is safe, not a threat Do any (or all!) of these resonate?: "If I slow down, will everything fall apart?" "Do people think I'm slacking if I'm not constantly achieving?" "Who am I if I'm not the doer or the fixer?" If these thoughts sound familiar, this episode will help you understand why rest isn't the opposite of success... it's what sustains it.   FOLLOW host: @loristreator my therapy practice: @solairetherapy   Support the podcast with these 2 things: Share it with one friend who needs to hear this Leave a 5-star review and tell me your biggest aha-moment from today Your support helps more women find their way here.

In this special flip episode, I join my friend Danielle Amos for a grounded, honest conversation about growth, leadership, and what it really looks like to build a business that supports your life—not consumes it. We talk about redefining success beyond hustle, releasing the pressure to constantly do more, and creating sustainable rhythms that honor both ambition and wellbeing. I share how my own definition of success has evolved over the years, why capacity matters more than speed, and how clarity, boundaries, and intentional choices create long-term impact. Danielle and I explore the mindset shifts required to scale without burnout, lead with integrity, and trust that slowing down can actually move you forward faster.

The Month of Jeff keeps rolling, and today we are giving the thru-hiking world some love. I tracked down a Jeff who just finished the Appalachian Trail in 2025, Jeff Coull, the guy behind the coullbean.com blog.Follow Jeff on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coullbean/Jeff wanted to hike the AT for almost a decade, but in 2024 it stopped being a “someday” goal and became a “need to.” We talk about the scariest part of committing to a long trail, the conversation with his girlfriend Robin, and how doing something huge does not have to come from tragedy or running away from your life.We get into the details that make a thru hike real: early mistakes (starting too fast, an ankle ligament barking, a sleeping pad that died for two straight weeks), figuring out resupplies when you are basically learning in public, and the constant debate between pop tarts and protein. There is also a strong case made for frozen burritos thawing on the outside of your pack, plus the harsh reality of FarOut water comments when Maine is dry.Jeff carried a “Robin Rock” most of the trail, hid it in plant photos to see if she would notice, and accidentally created a recurring side quest by leaving it behind and coordinating a rescue mission. He also carried a sealed ICE letter from Robin all the way to Katahdin and only opened it on top, which is where the emotions finally caught up.We also talk about trail friendships, why it is so easy to connect with people out there, and how Jeff's view of the “trail family” idea changed once he got confident enough to make his own plan. Then there is the moment in Tennessee when a “power hiking song” conversation turned into an unexpected hour of Freebird on repeat, and a big lesson about forgiveness and leaving old baggage behind.To wrap it up, we hit quick hitters: favorite trail town, best meal, best trail name he heard, what the whole thing cost, and the lesson that kept coming back over and over, be gentle with yourself.Sponsors: Janji, Garage Grown Gear, CS Coffee.Chapters00:00 The Journey Begins: Aspirations and Realizations05:22 Navigating Relationships: Conversations with Loved Ones08:25 Symbolic Connections: The Robin Rock11:25 The Learning Curve: First Experiences on the Trail14:13 Dreams and Goals: The Call of the AT17:28 Life Changes: Quitting the Job for Adventure20:21 Challenges of Thru-Hiking: The Reality vs. Expectations23:29 Building Confidence: Finding Your Own Path26:17 Nutrition on the Trail: The Food Dilemma29:21 The Importance of Gut Health: Eating Fresh on the Trail30:53 Trail Nutrition: Creative Food Choices34:24 Adversity on the Trail: Overcoming Challenges39:13 Building Connections: The Social Aspect of Hiking45:32 Moments of Transformation: Personal Growth on the Trail58:41 The Challenge of Water Scarcity01:01:15 Emotional Reflections on Completing the Trail01:03:27 Slowing Down to Savor the Experience01:06:21 The Emotional Climax at Katahdin01:12:18 Trail Towns and Memorable Meals01:15:27 Lessons Learned and Future AdventuresSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside

Are you ready to stop sprinting toward the end of the year and instead lean into the magic of the in-between?In this solo episode, host Erica Rooney challenges the traditional "hustle harder" holiday advice. She encourages you to view this time as a refractory period—a natural exhale before the big inhale of 2026—and gives you radical permission to slow down and be present.Erica reveals her secret to managing the season's chaos: strategically using AI to clear the clutter, protect her energy, and free up her mental load so she can focus on the moments that truly matter.Inside the Episode:The Refractory Pause: Why you should stop viewing the holidays as a sprint to the finish line and instead embrace the season's slower rhythm as a necessary time for rest and self-reconnection.Permission to be Present: A call to action to stop doing all the things you think you "should" do and start doing the things that genuinely matter to you (like sitting on the couch or baking horrific cookies).AI for the Invisible Labor: Erica demonstrates exactly how she uses simple AI prompts (like Chat GPT or Google Gemini) to eliminate time-consuming planning and mental clutter:Magical Meal PlanningCreative Gift IdeasThe Calm December Prompt: The specific AI prompt Erica used to design a weekly rhythm that prioritized feeling calm, intentional, and grounded, while carving out dedicated time for connection, rest, and joy.Protecting Your Energy: Why using AI is not about replacing humanity, but about clearing the invisible labor and protecting your mental energy so you don't lose your balance (or your shit) on those you love.If you're ready to ditch the guilt and use modern tools to move through the holidays with clarity, grounding, and magic, this episode is your essential guide.

What if the biggest mistakes I made in Hawaii weren't about what I did, but how I showed up?After 200 episodes and 30 trips, I'm sharing seven hard-won lessons that changed how I experience Hawaii and travel everywhere else.You'll walk away with a clearer sense of what respect really means, why slowing down creates better memories, and how to see Hawaii as more than just a backdrop.

In today’s special year-end holiday episode, host Heather Creekmore welcomes author and speaker Cynthia Ruchti to the show for an uplifting conversation perfectly suited to the busy woman navigating the Christmas season. As the holidays approach, the to-do lists are long, and the “reason for the season” can easily get lost amid shopping, family obligations, and endless tasks. Heather Creekmore and Cynthia Ruchti encourage listeners to pause, ponder, and rediscover the wonder of Christmas, focusing on spiritual renewal rather than exhausting productivity. Together, they discuss Cynthia’s Christmas devotional, her insights on noticing God’s presence, embracing lingering and pondering, and shifting our attitudes to receive what God has truly prepared for us—even in the midst of chaos, disappointment, and the “distribution of labor” that often falls to women during the holidays. The episode is packed with relatable holiday circumstances, biblical reflections, real-life stories, and practical encouragement to rest in the joy, awe, and wonder that Christmas offers. Key Topics Discussed: Why slowing down and observing brings more spiritual refreshment than staying busy The power of “lingering”—with God, with loved ones, and in the moment God’s upside-down kingdom and the abundance found in trusting Him with our time and resources Noticing God in both the seen and the unseen aspects of the Christmas story The message of redemption woven throughout Scripture, from Isaiah to the nativity What holiday mishaps (yes, even broken goblets!) can teach us about perspective and joy Reframing holiday serving as a gift for ourselves, not just for others How to keep awe and wonder alive in our hearts, even when Christmas feels like another item on the checklist Practical encouragement for busy moms and grandmas feeling the holiday load Using Cynthia’s 26-day devotional for a richer, more intentional holiday season Resources & Links: Get Cynthia’s Christmas devotional book, Spirit of Christmas: Discovering His Presence (available on Amazon and hemmedinhope.com) *Amazon affiiate link, a tiny portion of your purchase will support this ministry.

In this episode I talk with Anna Christine "AC" Seiple about slowing down, embodiment, and what it means to listen to our bodies and our parts.  AC is a licensed counselor and the author of The Sacred Art of Slowing Down. She lives in St. Andrews, Scotland, where she's working on her PhD exploring the intersection of ancient contemplative practices and modern mindfulness.  She shares why she felt called to write her book, how slowing down was not something she chose at first but something life required of her, and how chronic pain, illness, and unexpected disruptions shaped her relationship with her body. She talks honestly about what it's like to move from living primarily in the head, to slowly rebuilding trust with the body. Takeaways from this episode: • why slowing down often happens through life events rather than choice • how disconnection from the body can begin as a survival strategy • the role of self compassion and curiosity when parts resist slowing down • how faith, culture, and early messages can shape our relationship with our bodies • the importance of establishing safety before forcing embodiment • how slowing down and embodiment support parts that have been neglected • what it means to build new "muscle memory" with our nervous systems and parts • how seasons, light, and cycles mirror internal emotional rhythms I loved how she normalized how hard this work can be, and how she reminded us that slowing down does not mean changing who we are or stopping our lives. This conversation felt especially timely as the year winds down, a time when slowing down can feel counterintuitive. We continue part of this conversation in an extended interview for our paid community over on Substack, where we talk more about hope, seasons, and what it looks like to live with greater acceptance of where we are. About Anna Christine Seipel Anna Christine ("AC") is a licensed counselor, retreat leader, and researcher. She loves cultivating healing spaces that honor the entirety of our embodied beings. She holds two master's degrees, one in clinical mental health counseling and a second in ancient languages and is currently working on a PhD at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, exploring conversations between ancient contemplative practices and mindfulness interventions.

The world outside is speeding up. Today, we give you permission to slow down.Welcome to Day 2 of The Holiday Sanctuary. As we hit the middle of December, we often enter the "manic week"—that frantic rush to get everything done before the holidays arrive. The pressure to hurry can trigger adrenaline spikes and leave us feeling overwhelmed and breathless.In today's episode, The Art of Slowing Down, we are opting out of the urgent energy of the world. We are reclaiming our own pace.In this session, you will experience:Box Breathing (4-4-4-4): A tactical breathwork technique used to instantly regulate the nervous system and halt the adrenaline response.The Deep Snow Visualization: A guided mental journey where you walk through deep, soft snow. Every step is slow, deliberate, and silent, muffling the noise of the chaotic world around you.Affirmations for Pacing: Powerful reminders that your peace is more important than your to-do list.This is your antidote to the rush. You do not have to match the frantic energy around you.Next Up: Join me tomorrow for Day 3, where we will focus on "The Shield," learning how to protect your energy from difficult family dynamics and social drains.
