Dr. Laura offers a reassuring perspective in this solo episode, exploring how to stay grounded when the world and work feel uncertain and overwhelming. Drawing on her experience as a psychologist, she explains how fear can push us into fight, flight, or freeze responses, which ultimately drain energy and disrupt relationships. Dr. Laura brings the focus back to the present moment, encouraging us to reconnect with what's in our control today instead of getting swept up in global uncertainty and negative news cycles.  Dr. Laura shares practical ways to restore calm and clarity through simple yet powerful practices, including the three W's of walk, window, and water, which she learned from her friends at CALM. She urges us to reconnect with activities that recharge our personal energy. The importance of setting boundaries with media and social platforms, while cultivating gratitude and self-awareness in daily life, is part of achieving this recharge. With warmth and insight, Dr. Laura reminds us that even in difficult times, small intentional actions help build resilience, restore perspective, and create a sense of peace. “Staying grounded means what can you control today and this week?” - Dr. Laura About Dr. Laura: Dr. Laura Hambley Lovett is a work and career psychologist and thought leader on the evolution of work.

Send us Fan MailIf you lead others through uncertainty while privately wondering how to stay grounded yourself, this episode is the most honest conversation you'll see today.What happens when the person usually holding the space… becomes the one being held?This week, join us for a deeply personal episode of The UpLevel Podcast; the script is flipped.For the first time this season, our host Christie Mann fully steps into the client's seat and is coached live by her longtime mentor, dear friend, and master coach, Joni Mar.What unfolds is a raw, honest, and deeply human conversation about fear, leadership, uncertainty, and what it means to continue showing up in a rapidly changing environment.As Season 11 centers on stewardship, this episode offers a deeply human example of what it means to embody the work rather than simply discuss it.Together, Christie and Joni move beneath analysis and into embodiment—exploring anxiety around travel, leadership, safety, isolation, responsibility, and the emotional toll of living in a world that feels increasingly volatile.What emerges is a powerful reminder: Leadership isn't about having it all together. It's about staying human enough to remain connected—to ourselves, to others, and to the work we're here to do.In This Episode:What live coaching actually looks and feels likeThe emotional reality many leaders are carrying right nowHow fear and uncertainty show up in the bodyWhy grounding practices matter more than everThe paradox of creating safety while still answering the call to leadWhat it means to steward yourself while stewarding othersAbout Joni:Joni Mar, MCC, CPCC, CNTC, CTICFor more than two decades, Joni Mar has been helping leaders wrestle with a deceptively simple question: Who do I need to become to lead what's next?Known for her warmth, grounded presence, and ability to ask the question beneath the question, she helps leaders uncover the hidden patterns shaping how they think, decide, and lead. Joni believes the most powerful leadership shift is expanding a leader's awareness of who they are being while they lead because the hardest part of leadership isn't strategy, it's identity.A Master Certified Executive Leadership Coach and senior faculty member with the Co-Active Training Institute, Joni has been training coaches since 2003.An early contributor to the global expansion of coaching, Joni introduced Co-Active Coaching to the Hong Kong market and has spent more than a decade working between North America, Asia and Europe, bringing a deeply cross-cultural lens to leadership and human development.A long-time steward of the field, Joni now focuses on supporting the next generation of coaches and helping leaders bring greater wisdom, compassion, and courage into the systems they serve.https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonimar/https://www.instagram.com/joni.mar/

The world doesn't feel stable right now — and your nervous system knows it. Economic uncertainty, political chaos, global conflict: even if none of it is landing directly on your doorstep, it's landing in your body. You're more reactive than usual. Your sleep is off. You're scrolling more and resting less. You're doing fine — except that quietly, underneath it all, you're not.This episode is about how to stay grounded when the external world keeps shifting. Not through toxic positivity or pretending things are fine. Not through a five-step productivity system. Through something more honest: learning to anchor yourself in what's actually stable when almost nothing outside of you is.Today we're walking you through what groundedness actually means — and more importantly, what it feels like in a body that's been running on high alert. You'll leave this episode with a clearer understanding of why you feel so rattled right now, and a set of practices you can return to again and again when the news cycle, the economy, or life itself starts to spin.This is courage for the long haul. Let's practice it together.

Why do some days feel heavier than others, even when nothing obvious has changed? In this solo episode of Becoming Unshakable, I speak directly to those moments when everything feels like a struggle. The days when motivation is low, your energy is off, and you quietly question whether you are doing enough, or even moving in the right direction. I share an honest reflection on what it means to keep going when you feel stretched, tired, or unsure, and why those moments are often part of a much deeper process. I talk about the internal pressure many of us carry, especially as leaders, caregivers, and people who others rely on. There is a tendency to push through, to stay strong on the surface, while ignoring what is happening beneath the surface. In this conversation, I open up about what it looks like to acknowledge that weight without losing your sense of self, and how small shifts in awareness can change how you experience difficult seasons. This episode is a reminder that struggling does not mean failing. It often means you are growing, recalibrating, or being asked to pay attention to something you may have been avoiding. I explore how to stay steady in those moments, how to be kinder to yourself without lowering your standards, and how to reconnect with your own resilience in a way that feels real. If you have been feeling off, overwhelmed, or quietly carrying more than you let on, this conversation is for you. What would change if you stopped fighting the struggle and started listening to what it is trying to show you?

A candid conversation with interior designers Arianne Bellizaire and Sara Malek Barney on navigating burnout, emotional labor, client management, and creative growth in today's unpredictable design industry. From boundary-setting to decision fatigue, social media pressures, and sustaining ambition, this episode explores the strategies and mindsets designers use to remain successful, resilient, and inspired amid market volatility and personal demands. Identity & Evolution in Design Designers must periodically redefine themselves and their work to remain relevant. Personal growth and evolving priorities shape professional identity and approach. Burnout vs Ambition Burnout is not a badge of honor; it results from overextension and emotional labor. Ambition aligns energy with superpowers and opportunities, creating sustainable growth. Setting boundaries is essential to differentiate productive ambition from harmful overwork. Emotional Labor & Client Management Design work involves managing client emotions, expectations, and second-guessing. Designers act as liaisons between clients, contractors, and teams, absorbing invisible pressures. Managing scope creep and change orders is a practical strategy to protect both energy and profitability. Social Media & Comparison Culture Social media can amplify unrealistic expectations and unhealthy competition. Designers often feel compelled to accommodate clients' desires, sometimes overextending themselves to maintain a positive perception. Decision Fatigue & Process Control Guiding clients with structured processes reduces decision fatigue and builds trust. Transparent communication about costs, changes, and expectations protects both designer and client satisfaction. Sustaining Creativity Exposure to new experiences, products, peers, and travel is vital for creative rejuvenation. Nature, walks, and offline activities clear mental clutter and inspire problem-solving. Intentional “point-to-point” efforts—committing to new experiences—promote growth despite discomfort. Financial & Business Literacy Designers must balance artistry with business realities. Collecting payments, understanding scope, and setting clear expectations are critical professional skills. Empowering team members while maintaining accountability ensures operational efficiency. Resources: AJ Madison KBIS Arianne Bellizaire  – Arianne Bellizaire Interiors Sara Malek Barney – BANDD/DESIGN In today's unpredictable design industry, thriving requires more than talent—it demands resilience, strategy, and self-awareness. On this episode, interior designers Arianne Bellizaire and Sara Malek Barney dive into the complex landscape of professional design, sharing candid insights on burnout, emotional labor, client management, and sustaining creativity in chaotic times. Designers often redefine their professional identity to adapt to evolving personal and industry priorities. As Bellizaire notes, “We are always changing, and how we describe ourselves now reflects our growth, our aspirations, and the life we're building.” Similarly, Sara emphasizes the importance of aligning professional actions with personal values to maintain relevance, profitability, and balance. Burnout, long treated as a badge of honor in design, is reframed here as a clear warning signal. Emotional labor—managing client expectations, facilitating collaboration, and resolving conflicts—often goes uncredited yet drives the success of every project. Both guests stress the importance of boundaries, scope management, and distinguishing between what one can do versus what one should do, emphasizing that ambition thrives when energy is strategically invested in core strengths. Social media and comparison culture add another layer of complexity. Designers frequently face unrealistic expectations from clients influenced by curated online content, which can pressure them into overextending themselves. Establishing clear processes, communicating cost implications, and structuring client decisions effectively are key strategies for reducing stress while maintaining creative integrity. Decision fatigue, a common challenge in high-stakes residential projects, can be mitigated by guiding clients through structured choices while fostering trust. Sustaining creativity amid chaos is a recurring theme. Arianne and Sara highlight exposure to new experiences, peers, travel, and even nature walks as essential methods to refresh the mind and spark innovative thinking. “A simple daily walk,” Arianne reflects, “can clear clutter, inspire problem-solving, and restore energy in ways that sitting at a desk never will.” Committing to uncomfortable but growth-oriented experiences, a “point-to-point principle,” is a subtle but critical habit for creative professionals. Finally, the conversation underscores the business side of design. Designers must balance artistry with operational responsibility, from collecting payments to managing scope creep and training staff. Financial literacy and professional boundaries ensure that creative freedom does not come at the cost of personal wellbeing or firm profitability. This episode offers an unfiltered look at what it takes to thrive in a chaotic, competitive industry. With honesty, humor, and hard-earned wisdom, Ariana and Sara provide strategies for navigating emotional, creative, and financial pressures while staying grounded, inspired, and relevant. For any designer striving to balance ambition with wellbeing, this conversation is both a blueprint and a call to action.

I didn't sleep last night.My brain wouldn't shut off—and it wasn't my kids, my snoring husband, or even my senior dog waking me up at 2 a.m. It was the relentless pace of AI news, the fear of falling behind, and the pressure of building in this space while trying to make sense of it all.So I figured if I'm feeling it, you probably are too.In this episode, I'm getting real about what it actually feels like to be a business owner right now—when AI is moving faster than most of us can process, when the headlines are loud, and when you're trying to figure out what actually matters versus what's just noise.I'm sharing:How to filter out the AI noise without missing what's actually importantThe difference between excitement and overwhelm—and how to move forward with intention instead of panicWhy chasing every shiny object means building nothing sustainableMy own struggle with staying focused while building a platform in the AI space (spoiler: I'm figuring it out in real time too)The mantra that's keeping me sane: What am I protecting?

Is this going to change everything? What am I even supposed to do with this?"—this episode is for you.Because here's the truth: Your expertise is real. Your relationships with your clients are real. And the value you create is real. AI doesn't change that. It just changes how you deliver it, scale it, and protect your time while doing it.So let's take a breath together and figure out how to move forward with clarity instead of chaos.>>Your next steps

In today's episode, David Swanson and I are talking about what it means to stay grounded, emotionally regulated, and morally clear in a time that feels overwhelming. So many people are feeling the weight of constant tension — in the news, in conversations, and in their own lives. It can feel like you're either consumed by it or completely shut down. In this conversation, we explore: What it means to stay engaged without burning out The difference between emotional reactivity and moral courage How power, control, and fear show up in leadership and culture The emotional cost of speaking up — and how to care for yourself while doing it What "bearing witness" really looks like in everyday life How to stay human in times that feel dehumanizing This isn't about politics. It's about how we show up, take care of ourselves, and remain grounded in who we are — even when things feel uncertain. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure how to navigate everything happening around you, this conversation is for you.

Send us Fan MailThe world feels like it is running at maximum volume, and a lot of us are asking the same question: how do you stay grounded without checking out? We get real about what constant chaos does to your mind and body, why it leaks into your reactions, and how quickly your peace disappears when you give your attention to every headline, hot take, and argument you cannot control.We wrestle with the trap of truth seeking in a noisy culture. The deeper you dig, the more you realize how much you do not know, and that can create anxiety instead of clarity. Along the way we share a simple fable that nails the point: trying to fix discomfort the wrong way can leave you with bigger holes than you started with. We also go philosophical in plain language, touching perception and the way each of us experiences “reality” through our own beliefs, values, and filters.Then we land on something practical and oddly hopeful: tighten your circle, set boundaries, and be the light where you actually live. We swap stories about everyday kindness that sticks with people for years, and we talk about why self-care is not selfish when it helps you show up better for others.

Drawing from 25 years of military leadership, including deployments in Iraq and service at the highest levels of national defense during the early Covid crisis, Dede brings a rare blend of grounded wisdom, operational clarity, and deep humanity to the question of what leadership requires when the stakes are high. Check out Elena's website to learn more about how she can support you in seeing and using the power that resides within you. Elena opens with a coaching reflection on how leaders can navigate upheaval by regulating themselves before trying to stabilize others, narrowing priorities with compassion, creating rhythms that offer steadiness, and anchoring decisions in values rather than urgency. The conversation moves into the lived realities of leadership under pressure, including loneliness, fear, and the quiet burden many leaders carry when they believe they must hold everything alone. Dede speaks candidly about the isolation she experienced as a senior leader and the cost of trying to carry responsibility without enough connection. She reflects on the importance of building trusted support systems before the crisis arrives, and the role vulnerability plays in making leadership more sustainable. She also offers a striking perspective on fear of irrelevance, emotional suppression in leadership cultures, and the necessity of naming what is true without losing steadiness. This episode is a reminder that leadership is not meant to be performed in isolation. It is an invitation to lead with clarity, humanity, and courage, and to remember that hard things become more bearable when we face them alongside others.   Let's Get Social!  Want to hear more from Elena?

When it comes to megaliths — massive stones set in place by prehistoric people — Americans are probably most familiar with Stonehenge. But the U.K.'s landscape is punctuated with thousands of these majestic stones. Some are set in circles, others in rows. A few even form doorways that align with the sun at solstice. Long revered for their mythical presence, megaliths woo both curiosity seekers and die-hard enthusiasts. Fiona Robertson falls into that second camp. She was captivated by Britain's ancient stones from an early age. When she met her husband, Stephen, a shared love of megaliths drew them together. And it was the megaliths who comforted her and gave her room to grieve when Stephen was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Robertson's new book, “Stone Lands,” is part homage to the grandeur and mystery of megaliths and part memoir of a wrenching loss. This week, on Big Books and Bold Ideas, Robertson shares her love and her consolation with Kerri Miller, as they verbally explore Britain's megaliths together. Guest:Fiona Robertson is a writer and dedicated stone-seeker. Her new book is titled, “Stone Lands: A Journey of Darkness and Light through Britain's Ancient Places.” Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.

Does your body tighter when someone criticizes you? Do you start apologizing or over-explaining before you've even thought it through?In this insightful episode, Jaya brings two powerful stories that reveal how early experiences of contempt and correction still live in her nervous system today. Together, we unpack what happens inside when criticism feels dangerous, and how to work with the shame, fear, and self-blame that so often follow.We explore the difference between criticism and contempt, how to separate observation from interpretation, and how to develop “pushback energy” instead of collapsing into appeasement.If you've ever left a conversation replaying every word, wondering what you did wrong, this one will bring a breath of compassion and clarity.Read more on the blog.For ongoing practice and deeper learning, I warmly invite you to become a member of The School of Human Connection.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about what happens when leadership (Amazon Affiliate) —once a source of structure, trust, and protection—starts to feel unpredictable, unsupportive, or unsafe for first responders. This episode addresses the quiet shift many in law enforcement, fire, and EMS experience when decisions feel disconnected from reality, communication breaks down, and loyalty begins to feel one-sided. When leadership no longer feels safe, the nervous system adapts—and not in ways that are sustainable.

Sometimes life begins to shift all at once.Opportunities change. Responsibilities grow. Decisions about the future start showing up.And suddenly it can feel like life is moving faster than you are.In this episode of Grace & Growth, we sit with the pressure that can come during seasons of transition… when things are unfolding, but not everything is clear yet.This is a reflection on staying grounded while life is changing, trusting yourself through uncertainty, and remembering that growth doesn't always feel peaceful.Sometimes it feels like pressure.Grace looks good on you… and growth will too.

In this episode of Two Pastors and a Mic, Cory and Channock tackle one of the hardest parts of growth: what happens when you change…but the people around you don't. If you've gone through deconstruction, started holding your beliefs more loosely, or found yourself living with more nuance, you've probably felt the tension at the dinner table—Do I speak up? Stay quiet? Change the subject? Because the truth is, most of the time the tension isn't even theological… it's relational.They talk honestly about why your growth can feel threatening to others (even when you're not trying to change anyone), the unspoken agreements relationships can be built on, and the three common temptations that show up in this season: shrinking, proving, or withdrawing. From there, they give five practical tools to help you stay connected without losing yourself—how to lead with curiosity, stop managing other people's reactions, and build safe spaces where you don't have to translate your entire journey just to be understood.If you've felt misunderstood, exhausted, or tempted to pull back from the people you love, this one is for you.In this episode:Why the tension isn't theological—it's relationalThe 3 temptations: shrink, prove, withdraw5 practical tools for staying connected while you growWhen distance is wisdom (boundaries, not punishment)Staying grounded in who you're becoming00:00 - Welcome Back + Quick Banter00:45 - Share the Episode + 26 Life Theme (1 John 2:6)01:34 - Recap: Deconstruction, Stuck Seasons, Staying Tender02:20 - Recap: Rebuilding Trust (Brené Brown's BRAVING)02:50 - Recap: Living Without Certainty (The Sin of Certainty)03:22 - Today's Topic: When You Change but Others Don't04:08 - The Real Tension: Family, Friends, and Staying Connected05:08 - When People Speak in Absolutes + You Feel Misunderstood06:17 - Dinner Table Moment: Speak Up, Stay Quiet, or Shift Topics?07:30 - It's Not Theological—It's Relational Risk09:20 - When Your Shift Feels Threatening to Others10:16 - Unspoken Agreements: “We've Always Believed This”11:34 - 3 Temptations: Shrink, Prove, or Withdraw12:15 - Temptation 1: Shrinking to Keep the Room Calm13:16 - Temptation 2: Proving It (Over-explaining, Articles, Debates)14:01 - Temptation 3: Withdrawing Fully (Exhaustion + New Language)16:06 - 5 Practical Tools for Connection (Overview)17:23 - Tool 1: Decide What's Worth Discussing (Hill vs Habit)19:42 - Tool 2: Lead With Curiosity, Not Correction20:36 - Tool 3: Let Go of Being Understood Immediately21:45 - Tool 4: Stop Managing Their Reaction22:20 - Tool 5: Build New Safe Spaces (Relational Oxygen)23:27 - When Distance Is Wise (Boundaries, Not Punishment)24:42 - Stay Grounded in Who You're Becoming27:11 - Next Week: Reconstruction vs Deconstruction (Which Is Harder?)27:44 - Hockey Sidebar: Team USA Beats Canada + “Won It for Johnny”28:37 - Closing: You're Loved (Nothing You Can Do About It)

Most people view rejection as a personal verdict. High-status individuals view it as essential data. If a "No" feels like a physical punch to the gut, it's not a sign of weakness—it's a biological glitch in your "Survival Software 1.0."In this lesson, we break down the neurobiology of social pain (the Anterior Cingulate Cortex) and reveal the "Pivot Protocol"—the 3-step system that high-status leaders use to remain unshakeable. We move past the cliché of "rejection is redirection" and look at the actual science of how to stay grounded when the stakes are high.

Send a textIn this timely and deeply practical episode of the Autonomic Homeostasis Activation Podcast, Tom and Ruth explore what it means to live in a world saturated with distressing information — from global conflict to cultural upheaval to deeply personal stories of abuse and loss.We are not just observers anymore. Through constant news cycles and social media exposure, we are often participants in vicarious trauma — absorbing pain that is not directly ours, yet deeply affects our nervous systems.In this conversation, we unpack:What vicarious trauma actually is — and how it differs from everyday stressWhy some stories trigger us more than othersThe difference between sympathetic responses (stress, anxiety, anger, depression) and parasympathetic processingHow collective events like COVID may have shifted our baseline stress levelsThe surprising neuroscience insight: pain is not the enemy — it's a homeostatic signalHow to move from reactive fight-or-flight to restorative regulationWe explore a powerful reframing:Pain functions much like thirst or hunger. It is not something to suppress, but something to respond to wisely. When processed through the parasympathetic nervous system, pain becomes productive — guiding us toward restoration rather than reactivity.This episode is especially for:Parents navigating hard conversations with their childrenLeaders and caregivers carrying collective weightAnyone feeling overwhelmed, anxious, angry, or numb in today's climateTherapists, coaches, and helpers managing emotional proximity to others' traumaIf you've felt “off,” on edge, or emotionally flooded after scrolling headlines — this conversation will help you understand why.And more importantly, it will help you return to center.Because the goal isn't shutting down pain.It's learning how to process it in a way that restores homeostasis — in body, mind, and spirit.Take a breath.Let's activate regulation together.Support the showThanks for listening!You can follow us onFacebook Instagram Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Check out the Autonomic Healing Website & InnerWorkings WebsiteEmail Tom thomasjpals@innerworkings.orgEmail Ruth ruth@bridgeandrhino.comSupport usWe appreciate you!

Ayurvedic practitioner and author Heather Grzych explores what happens inside us when leaders, teachers, or institutions disappoint us. Rather than focusing on scandal or personalities, she examines the nervous system response — the tight chest, the bracing, the fatigue — that arises when authority feels unstable. Using the cultural moment and the paradigm shift illustrated in the 2023 Barbie film as a backdrop, she invites listeners to reclaim internal authority instead of outsourcing certainty to charismatic figures. This episode offers a grounded, embodied framework for discernment, emotional maturity, and self-trust in a time when external structures feel increasingly unreliable.

Life does not always fall apart in neat, Instagram-worthy ways.Sometimes it blindsides you. Sometimes it knocks the air out of you. Sometimes it leaves your nervous system spinning and your mind searching for answers.In this episode I break down what coaching actually does for you when life kicks you in the junk — not by avoiding pain, but by helping you stay self-led inside of it.I share how I personally navigated a recent season I did not ask for, and the exact mindset and emotional tools that made it possible to stay grounded, connected, and clear when nothing felt easy.This episode is not about positive thinking or fixing yourself. It is about learning how to work with your thoughts and emotions instead of letting them run your life.In this episode, we talk about:Why painful experiences do not mean you are doing life wrongHow coaching helps you stay self-led during hard seasonsThe difference between facts and the stories your brain tellsWhy “neutral” does not mean harmless or okayHow to observe your thoughts and emotions without being consumed by themWhy mindset work does not mean avoiding hard feelingsHow to feel emotions safely instead of suppressing or fixing themThe difference between respecting a thought and agreeing with itWhy not every thought deserves your obedienceThe powerful question that brings you back to yourself when everything feels confusingKey takeaway:You do not need to eliminate hard thoughts or emotions to move forward. You need the ability to stay with yourself, supervise your mind, and choose how you respond — one situation, one thought, one feeling, one choice at a time.That is what coaching builds.Resources:Free Feelings Video + Worksheet: Click HERE to grab it.Jessica's book, In Pursuit Order my #1 New Release book In PursuitGet your complimentary copy of The Unblocked Journal to help bring awareness to perfectionist thinking and what it's creating in your life.Join My Do The Thing Community Want more support?If this episode resonated with you and you want deeper, personalized support, you can learn more about working with me at jessicasmarro.comStay connected:Follow me on Facebook & Instagram: @jessicasmarroShare this episode and tag me with what landed for youIf you enjoyed today's conversation, please follow, rate, and review Unblocked.

1. Watching for Trickery 2. Laying Aside the Old3. Putting on the NewToday's sermon explored Ephesians 4:14-32, challenging us to examine our Christian walk and whether we're truly living out our faith. Just as physical walking requires 200 muscles working together without conscious thought, our spiritual walk should become second nature as we mature in Christ. We were reminded that God's will for us is so much more than we could ever imagine, but it requires us to be grounded in Biblical truth, not tossed around by every wind of doctrine or cultural trend. The message called us to stop being spiritually immature—to put off our old self with its deceitful lusts and put on the new self, created in God's likeness in righteousness and holiness.Takeaways:- Watch for Trickery and Stay Grounded in Truth: We must examine Scripture for ourselves (like the Bereans in Acts 17) rather than simply accepting what culture or even persuasive arguments tell us. Our feelings and hearts can be deceitful (Jeremiah 17:9), so we need solid Biblical truth as our foundation. We're called to speak truth in love, even when it's difficult.- Lay Aside the Old Self: True repentance means stripping away our former manner of life—the things we know are wrong. This isn't just feeling sorry; it's actively turning away from sin and submitting to obedience. We cannot continue wearing our "grave clothes" when Christ has made us alive and set us free.- Put On the New Self: It's not enough to simply stop sinful behaviors; we must replace them with godly ones. Put off lying, put on truth-telling. Put off anger, put on peace. Put off stealing, put on honest labor. Put off unwholesome words, put on edifying speech. Put off bitterness, put on kindness and forgiveness. This is what it means to walk with Christ daily.Let's commit together to growing up in all aspects into Christ, being doers of the Word and not just hearers. Remember, when we each do our part, the whole body of Christ grows and is built up in love.

How do you live well, stay engaged, and protect your mental health when the future of the planet feels so uncertain? Listen to this episode of Stories from the Field where our host Will White is joined by Dr. Thomas Doherty—psychologist, ecopsychologist, and author of Surviving Climate Anxiety—for a grounded conversation about eco-anxiety as a normal, values-driven response to climate change rather than a disorder to eliminate. Thomas reframes climate anxiety as a signal of care and connection, and introduces practical ways to regulate the nervous system, make meaning, and stay psychologically resilient without denying reality. Designed for both individuals struggling with climate anxiety and mental health professionals who work with anxiety and grief, this episode explores how time outdoors can become genuinely healing, how to avoid becoming a "climate hostage," and how to move toward what Thomas calls ethical happiness—living with purpose, connection, and integrity in a rapidly changing world.

Send us a textIn this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I talk about the rising sense of despair many people are feeling in response to the state of the world and why staying stuck in that despair doesn't serve you, your patients, or your purpose. I explore how our brains are wired to fixate on the negative, how media algorithms profit from that bias, and why giving equal airtime to what's good in your life is a radical act of mental hygiene. I share how I personally navigate feelings of overwhelm by asking, “Who do I want to be while feeling this way?” This episode is a call to reclaim your focus, protect your energy, and stay grounded in reality.

Send us a textIn today's episode of Evolve Ventures Tech, we sit inside one of the most uncomfortable truths of modern life: certainty is gone, and pretending otherwise is quietly draining our stability. We examine how nonstop information, digital volatility, and collective fear reshape the nervous system, distort perception, and weaken emotional grounding. This episode does not offer false reassurance or easy fixes. It names what it actually feels like to live in a world where safety feels conditional, and the future feels unstable.Through a clarity-forward, psychologically grounded lens, we reveal why so many people are dysregulated without realizing it, why resilience is harder than ever, and what it takes to stay anchored without disconnecting from reality.Here are the related episodes, each one builds on today's conversation:#291 | Motivation Monday: 3 Simple Conflict Resolution Tools You Need to Know - https://apple.co/4rnXvHP #473 | The Tools You Need to Stop Emotionally Numbing - https://apple.co/46impk3Learn more about:

Send one way text to Rev Rachel If you're an empath, a people-pleaser, or someone healing from codependency, you know how quickly another person's mood can affect your own.In this episode, I share a very real moment from my own life that happened on my birthday, when my husband had a tense reaction over a small laundry mishap. It wasn't a big moment, but it was a familiar one. His frustration immediately shifted the energy in the room, and I could feel my old patterns wanting to take over, the urge to fix it, smooth it over, or make it better and to make it my fault.What made this moment different is that I stayed present with myself.This episode is about learning how to stay grounded when someone you love is frustrated or upset, without absorbing their energy, abandoning yourself, or shutting down emotionally. It's about allowing others to have their feelings while learning that you don't have to carry them.Through the lens of the Recover Your Soul Process, we explore how acceptance, awareness, and loving boundaries help us respond differently. Not perfectly, but consciously. Not by disconnecting, but by staying rooted in compassion and self-trust using loving detachment.Healing doesn't mean the people in our lives will never be frustrated again. It means we no longer lose ourselves when they are.You are allowed to be okay even wRecover Your SOUL CIRCLE Group coaching with Rev Rachel is now open for enrollment.Join a sacred space to deepen your healing, connect in community, and walk the Recover Your Soul Process together:  1.
