Podcasts about Stillness

On this episode of AMPED, when our team arrives on scene for a pediatric head trauma case in a 10-month old, everything at first seems normal and under control. But in that calm, something feels off to one of our clinicians and he believes our patient faces imminent peril. Does he defer to the doctor on scene who has given assurances that everything is fine, or does he listen to his intuition and communicate his concerns to his partner in order to take action? Listen in and find out how this case unfolds, and hear how this particular case affected our clinicians greatly after the fact.    Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode?

Bible Verses About Hearing God's Voice and Stillness: www.curlynikki.comSupport the show: http://patreon.com/goodmornings

Today's readings are from the Platform Sutra, by Huineng, including "The Gatha of Truth and Falsehood and Movement and Stillness": Nothing that exists is true don't think what you see is true if you think you see the true what you see is surely false if you want to find the true the mind free of the false is true unless your mind forsakes the false nothing is true where true can't be. Living things know how to move lifeless things stay still those who practice staying still resemble motionless lifeless things to see what truly doesn't move in movement find what doesn't move what doesn't move is what doesn't move lifeless things have no buddha seeds. If you can perceive its attributes the ultimate truth doesn't move if you can realize this you will see how reality worksall you students of the Way be relentless and concentrate don't stand at the entrance of the Mahayana clinging to views about birth and death. If those before you are ready tell them the Buddha's teaching and if they aren't truly ready bow and tell them to be good there's nothing to argue about in this teaching those who argue lose sight of the Way clinging to blindness arguing about teachings they lead their nature into birth and death.

Hi friend, There's a conversation that's been quietly happening in Christian spaces for a while now. Some believers hear words like meditation, breathwork, or nervous system regulation and immediately think: “That sounds New Age.” But when you actually open the Bible and look closely… you find something interesting. Scripture talks about meditation constantly. Psalm 1 tells us to meditate on God's Word day and night. Joshua 1 says the same thing. Psalm 46 says, “Be still and know that I am God.” And when God created Adam, He breathed life into him. Breath. Stillness. Meditation. Renewing the mind. These aren't modern wellness ideas. They're biblical concepts. What we're seeing through neuroscience today is that practices like slowing our breath, calming the body, and focusing our minds on truth actually help rewire the brain and regulate the nervous system. In other words… the way God designed our bodies already supports the transformation He calls us into. In this week's episode of the Set Free Sisterhood Podcast, I'm unpacking: What the Bible actually says about meditation Why breath is so significant in Scripture How the nervous system impacts healing and emotional regulation And why learning to calm your body is not unspiritual If you've ever felt unsure about these topics, this episode will help bring clarity. And if you're realizing that your mind and body have been stuck in patterns of stress, anxiety, or coping behaviors like alcohol… you don't have to navigate that alone. This is exactly the kind of work I help women walk through in one-on-one coaching. Together we look at: the patterns that keep you stuck the emotional and nervous system responses underneath them and how to renew your mind and realign your life with truth If you're ready for support, you can email me here:  Let's chat!

Hi friends. As usual, you can see that we now have a fresh episode in the feed dropping this morning at 5 AM. Normally, I don't like to put a timestamp on my content. For today's episode, which is dropping on March 9, 2026 I'm going to break one of my rules. What do I mean? I'm going to recommend that you don't listen to this episode in the morning and wait till you've finished a hectic busy day. Why because this particular episode is an evening meditation that I recommend you listen to right before sleep. Have a great day and come back when you're ready to chill and turn the day off. Thanks for listening everybody! I love and appreciate you all.

03/08/2026, Zenju Earthlyn Manuel Osho, dharma talk at Green Gulch Farm. Zenju Earthlyn Manuel Osho explores stillness and silence as a response to the great suffering we are facing today. Can we trust the discovery promised in a practice of silence to lead us to resolve or peace?

In a world shaped by outrage and constant commentary, the Christian calling is different. Drawing on Scripture, the Desert Fathers, and the theology of St. Gregory Palamas, this homily explores why Christians must learn to speak in ways that build up rather than tear down. Sometimes the most faithful response is simply silence. --- Homily Notes: St. Gregory Palamas "Let Us Be Quiet" There are moments when the most truthful response a human being can give … is silence. What do you meet in silence? On Holy Saturday, during the First Resurrection service, we sing these words: "Let all mortal flesh keep silence, and in fear and trembling stand; for the King of kings and Lord of lords comes forth, to be slain, to give Himself as food to the faithful." Why should we be silent in the presence of God? Sometimes the reason is shame. When we see the goodness of God clearly, we recognize the ways we have failed Him. The proper response is not words of justification. It is silence. Sometimes the reason is gratitude. For those who have received God's gift of redemption through Christ, there is nothing we could say that would adequately express it. Sometimes the reason is relief. For those who have wearied themselves trying to do good in service to God, there is comfort in knowing that our efforts have not been in vain. The burden becomes light because God is real. Sometimes the reason is simply rationality. What could we possibly say that would improve the intellectual profundity of the moment? Remember St. Peter at the Transfiguration. He sees the glory of Christ and immediately begins talking: "Lord, let us build three tents…" But Scripture gently reminds us that he did not know what he was saying.  This teaches us that sometimes silence is the only reasonable response. It also teaches us that the most profound experience of silence is simply awe. It is like standing in the sun after a long cold winter and feeling its warmth. You do not analyze the sun. You stand in it. But silence does not come naturally to us. Spiritually speaking, the opposite of silence is not just sound. The opposite of silence is distraction. Noise. Talking. Constant reaction. And today one of the loudest places in our lives is not the street. It is our phones. Social media trains us to respond instantly to everything. Every opinion must be expressed. Every disagreement must be answered. Every irritation must be broadcast. But the spiritual life teaches something very different. Sometimes the holiest thing you can do… is not to respond. Sometimes holiness means closing the app and being quiet. This struggle with speech is not new. The Desert Fathers understood this deeply. A brother asked Abba Pambo whether it was good to praise one's neighbor, and the old man said: "It is better to be silent." And if that is true about praise, how much more true it is when we are tempted to criticize or attack our neighbor [or even some rando on the internet]? Another brother asked Abba Poemen: "Is it better to speak or to be silent?" And the old man replied: "The man who speaks for God's sake does well; but the man who is silent for God's sake also does well." Scripture says something similar: "Even a fool, when he holds his peace, is counted wise; and he who shuts his lips is esteemed a man of understanding." (Proverbs 17:28) Or as Mark Twain later put it: "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt." But Christian silence is not just about avoiding foolish words. It is about growing out of our sin and toward divinity. And here we must be honest with ourselves. We see easily when other people speak with anger, bitterness, sarcasm, or cruelty. But we rarely notice when we do the same thing. It is a bit like bad breath: [pause] We notice it quickly in other people, but we may not realize when it is our own. So here is a simple rule many of us were taught as children: "If you cannot say something nice, do not say anything at all." That may sound simple. But it contains real wisdom. Before speaking, ask yourself: Will what I am about to say build up the person I am speaking to? This is not about sugar-coating reality. This is not about pretending evil is good or giving evil a pass. Rather, it is about learning to speak in a way that builds up rather than tears down—so that we become pastors and priests rather than pundits and prosecutors. There are already plenty of prosecutors. What the world needs are pastors.   And that is precisely what we are called to be as the Royal Priesthood. But we need to acquire silence so that we might receive and share grace in this calling. Abba Arsenius said: "I have often repented of speaking, but never of remaining silent." And if you are not sure whether a word would be useful? And how could you be sure?  Do you really know their heart? Do you know their struggles? Do you know their intentions? We so easily judge the surface of another person's life without knowing the weight they carry. So if we are not sure whether speaking would be useful—and we should always have our doubts—perhaps the best thing for us to do is simply be quiet. Because silence is not just the absence of words. It is the space where the heart begins to hear God.--- This is only the first step in the way of silence.  But we must start somewhere: Speak less. Listen more. Use words to build up rather than tear down. Over time, something begins to change inside us. Silence creates space. And in that space we begin to notice something we had missed before. The presence of God. A brother once came to Abba Moses at Scetis and asked him for a word. The old man said: "Go, sit in your cell, and your cell will teach you everything." Silence becomes a teacher. Stillness becomes a teacher. And this is exactly what St. Gregory Palamas teaches us. He reminds us that the knowledge of God is not reached by noise or argument, but through hesychia — holy stillness — the quieting of the mind and heart so that the light of God may be known. Not because we have earned it. But because we have finally become quiet enough to notice Him. And this is why the Church calls us to spiritual silence in the Divine Liturgy. In a few moments we will stand again before the altar. The King of Kings will come forth. Not in thunder. Not in spectacle. But in bread and wine that become His Body and Blood. And so the Church says again, through the hymn of Holy Saturday; "Let all mortal flesh keep silence, and in fear and trembling stand." Let us quiet our minds. Let us quiet our tongues. Let us quiet our hearts. So that we may stand before the Lord of glory… and receive Him with awe. And so the Church teaches us again what the saints have always taught: let us be quiet. If we learn this lesson well, we may discover that what waits for us in that silence is not emptiness at all… but the living presence of God.  And that silence, and that Presence, slowly shape us into the likeness of Christ.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is pause. In this short episode of Happy Mind Happy Life, Michelle explores the quiet power of stillness and why slowing down can be essential for our mental well-being. In a world that constantly encourages productivity, achievement, and staying busy, intentional moments of stillness can help calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and bring greater clarity to our thoughts and emotions. Michelle shares a gentle reminder that stillness is not wasted time—it's often where insight, healing, and personal growth begin. When we allow ourselves to slow down, even for a few minutes, we create space for mindfulness, emotional balance, and deeper self-awareness. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or constantly on the go, this episode offers a moment to breathe, reset, and reconnect with yourself. Be sure to follow or subscribe to Happy Mind Happy Life so you don't miss the upcoming episode on how we sometimes unknowingly sabotage the things we truly want—and how to begin shifting those patterns.

Each day is either a Calm Day (I read you personal affirmations) or a Question Day (I answer silly, saucy, or personal questions), depending on how many seconds it takes me to light my candle. I'm so glad you're here ❤️~The Calm:I know today is supposed to be a calm day in the caverns, but sometimes the quiet makes your thoughts louder, doesn't it? That soft, drifting kind of anxiety; the one that doesn't have a name, just a weight. The one that asks questions you never invited in.You're not strange for feeling it.You're not failing at being calm.You're just a person with a mind that notices things.Sometimes the stillness makes you wonder what any of this is for — the waiting, the wandering, the long slow hours of being alive. And that's okay. You don't have to solve the meaning of your existence today. You don't have to earn your place in the world by having an answer.Just breathe with me for a moment.Let the walls be walls.Let the shadows be shadows.Let yourself be exactly as you are.You're allowed to feel unsettled and still be safe.You're allowed to be anxious and still be worthy of rest.You're allowed to exist without performing certainty.And if the questions come back; the big ones, the heavy ones, you can set them down here for a while. The caverns can hold them. You don't have to.I'm glad you're here.You're doing the best you can in a very strange world.And for now… that's enough.​ ⁨@StudioSeufz⁩ 

A Posture of Stillness  "Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Don't worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes." - ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37‬:‭7‬  "Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world." - ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭10‬ ‭ The Hebrew word "raphah" in Psalm 46:10 implies letting go, letting your hands hang down, or ceasing to fight on your own. "As Pharaoh approached, the people of Israel looked up and panicked when they saw the Egyptians overtaking them. They cried out to the Lord," - ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭14‬:‭10‬ ‭ "But Moses told the people, "Don't be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again. The Lord himself will fight for you.

In Episode 302, the conversation shifts from fitness tactics to something deeper: the battle between time and space. While most high performers obsess over productivity, optimization, and even hormone replacement therapy, this episode argues that the missing link in health — especially hormonal health — isn't more effort. It's recovery. Drawing on experiences coaching executives, entrepreneurs, and peak performers (including a talk at MIT), the hosts explore how chronic busyness, digital overload, and the inability to tolerate stillness are disrupting the nervous system and driving issues like anxiety, poor sleep, gut dysfunction, and hormone imbalance. They break down the power of micro, medium, and macro breaks — from 60-second breathing resets to digital detox weekends — and explain why intentional rest must be planned with the same intensity as work. Using metaphors like the catapult (you must pull back to launch forward) and the “space between the notes” that makes music meaningful, this episode challenges listeners to rethink productivity. The real edge isn't doing more — it's creating space. Rest first. Then eat. Then move.#PeakPerformance#StressRecovery#Biohacking#MentalResilience#ExecutiveHealth

Aaron wasn't looking for history when he bought the house. He was looking for affordable. A quiet reservoir property built in the early 1960s, long used as a weekend retreat and rarely occupied full-time, felt like a clean slate after a turbulent year.At first, the house delivered exactly that — neutrality. Stillness. Space to rebuild. But after he furnished it with secondhand pieces, something about the hallway began to feel… occupied.Nothing violent. Nothing theatrical. Just the steady awareness that the space might not belong to him alone. A presence that didn't push. Didn't threaten. Simply stood its ground.And when Aaron finally addressed it directly, what followed wasn't escalation. It was something far more unsettling.#RealGhostStories #HauntedHouse #ShadowFigure #ParanormalEncounter #TrueGhostStory #HomeHaunting #UnexplainedPhenomena #ShadowMan #SupernaturalExperience #HauntedHallwayLove real ghost stories?

Her partner Matt came to healing through a radically different path—as a nationally ranked sport climbing coach who suppressed his emotions with elite precision, until a family loss and near-death illness shattered everything he thought he knew.   Together, Kyra and Matt have built a practice that bridges physiotherapy, somatic therapy, breathwork, shamanic ceremony, and psychedelic integration—because they've learned that no single modality can heal the whole person.   In this conversation, you'll discover: Why the body stores emotional and traumatic history in physical form How Matt's three-month health crisis—where he lost a third of his body weight and negotiated with death itself—became his initiation into healing What somatic therapy offers that traditional talk therapy cannot How Kyra reads the emotional story underneath physical symptoms through touch The difference between caring for someone and carrying them Why breathwork ceremony can be as powerful as psychedelic medicine What the Pacha Mesa shamanic tradition teaches about reconnecting to the natural world How integration is the missing piece in most healing journeys Why the West is finally waking up to what indigenous and Eastern traditions have always known   This conversation is rich, tender, occasionally hilarious, and deeply grounded in the lived experience of two people who chose to turn toward their own healing—and built a business helping others do the same.   ⭐ Want to go deeper?

Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell's message draws on themes from congregational input and global stress research. This message reframes peace not as a luxury but as a biological and spiritual necessity, reminding us that we don't go to peace—we come from it. Using metaphors like the eye of a hurricane and a submarine beneath stormy waters, it teaches that our divine center remains steady even when life feels overwhelming. Through practices like mindful pauses, morning intention, and conscious response, we reclaim stillness as an act of spiritual authority and strength in a speeding world.Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net Download Our New App: https://theunitycenter.churchcenter.com/setupAsk Yourself This: https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Yourself-This-Questions-Expand/dp/087159336XSubscribe to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2hBqp7F Purchase Lesson Series Packages: https://theunitycenter.net/sunday-series-packagesListen to our Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YJWcAhQUnkEHFqBXQmz1G

Aaron wasn't looking for history when he bought the house. He was looking for affordable. A quiet reservoir property built in the early 1960s, long used as a weekend retreat and rarely occupied full-time, felt like a clean slate after a turbulent year.At first, the house delivered exactly that — neutrality. Stillness. Space to rebuild. But after he furnished it with secondhand pieces, something about the hallway began to feel… occupied.Nothing violent. Nothing theatrical. Just the steady awareness that the space might not belong to him alone. A presence that didn't push. Didn't threaten. Simply stood its ground.And when Aaron finally addressed it directly, what followed wasn't escalation. It was something far more unsettling.#RealGhostStories #HauntedHouse #ShadowFigure #ParanormalEncounter #TrueGhostStory #HomeHaunting #UnexplainedPhenomena #ShadowMan #SupernaturalExperience #HauntedHallwayLove real ghost stories?

After seven weeks on sabbatical, Pastor Josh returns to share lessons from the life of Elijah in 1 Kings 19. Following the dramatic victory on Mount Carmel, Elijah flees in fear, collapses under a broom tree, and encounters God—not in wind, earthquake, or fire, but in a gentle whisper. This message explores how God meets us in exhaustion, ministers with compassion, and reminds us that the journey is too great for us alone. If you're weary or longing to hear God's voice, this sermon is an invitation to be still and listen for His whisper.   Title: Stillness Series: The Secret Place Text: 1 Kings 19:1-18 Speaker: Josh Branham

Have you ever hit a big milestone and still felt… off? You closed the deal. You reached the revenue goal. You hit the number you've been chasing. On paper, everything looks solid. But internally? Something feels slightly empty. In this episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, I dive into three of the ten alignments from our S.O.U.L.M.A.P.P.I.N system — the framework I use to systematically harmonize ambition and well-being. Those three are: Loving Relationships Mindful Spirituality Abundance Financially These are just 3 out of the 10 alignments, but they are powerful ones. When even one of these is out of whack, you can feel it. When all three are aligned, life hits different. Let's start with loving relationships. You can build an incredible business, but if your marriage is strained, your kids feel distant, or your friendships are surface-level, it will eventually catch up with you. Relationships are not a bonus category. They are foundational. I share the L.O.V.E.R. framework to help navigate adversity in relationships: Listen. Observe. Voice. Empathize. Repair. Most people skip listening and jump straight to defending. But communication isn't just about words. It's tone. Body language. Energy. Presence. If you want a ten in your relationship, you've got to be a ten. Then we move into mindful spirituality. This isn't about religion or rigid rules. It's about connection to something bigger than your to-do list, your ego, or your quarterly targets. When you feel spiritually disconnected, everything feels heavier. You operate from stress, urgency, and control. But when you intentionally create stillness, you regain perspective. I use the reminder C.I.T.S. — Chill In The Still. Sit down. Get quiet. Reflect. Pray. Meditate. Breathe. Even a few intentional minutes of stillness per day can shift your nervous system and your clarity. Stillness builds inner strength. Gratitude. Confidence. When you are spiritually grounded, you don't chase, you align. Now let's talk about abundance financially. Abundance isn't just about making more money. It's about how you make it and who you become in the process. Over the years, I've used a simple framework called R.O.A.D.M.A.P. to generate millions in revenue, often in 45-minute Zoom calls. Not because I'm special, but because the system is aligned. R.O.A.D.M.A.P. stands for: Rapport Obstacle Aspiration Demonstration Match Ask Pull First, build rapport. Real connection. Trust.Then understand the obstacle. What problem are they trying to solve? Next, aspiration. What outcome do they truly want? Then demonstrate. Show proof. Testimonials. Real results. Match is critical. It has to be a fit both ways. I've worked with misaligned clients before and the money is never worth the stress. Then ask clearly. And finally, pull, not push. Ethical urgency. Honest scarcity. Invitation instead of pressure. Money should not cost you your peace. It should amplify your impact. It should allow you to provide, give, invest, and grow without sacrificing your integrity. Money magnifies who you already are. If you're grounded in strong relationships and spiritual alignment, money expands that. If you're disconnected, it amplifies that too. At the end of the day, fulfillment isn't built in one big achievement. It's built in daily alignment. How you love your people. How you connect to something greater than yourself. How you steward and multiply your resources with integrity. These three alignments are just part of the ten. But if you dial them in, everything else starts to rise with them. Pause. Reflect. Realign. That's how you systematically harmonize ambition and well-being. That's how you truly put the HAPPY in your HUSTLE. Connect with Cary!

Have you ever wondered why your decluttering systems only seem to work for a week before falling apart? Why you can't seem to stick with routines that work perfectly for everyone else? The answer might surprise you—and it has nothing to do with your willpower. It's Not a Discipline Problem—It's a Capacity Problem In this eye-opening episode, Kathi Lipp and Tenneil Register explore the crucial difference between discipline and capacity—and why confusing the two leads to shame spirals that make clutter worse, not better. Inspired by a powerful video from Dr. Raquel Martin, this conversation will change how you think about your decluttering struggles. What You'll Learn in This Episode The fundamental difference between discipline (habits, consistency, systems) and capacity (energy, margin, health, emotional bandwidth) Why you can't shame or discipline yourself into success when your capacity is depleted How to assess the real "size of your plate" before loading it up with expectations What discipline needs to work: simple routines, clear space, and repetition What capacity needs to be restored: sleep, stillness, fewer commitments, nutrition, and grace Why grief—including grieving lost capacity—plays a bigger role than you might think The Question That Changes Everything If you're constantly asking yourself "Why can't I keep up with my house?" or "Why do I always feel behind?"—stop. The real question isn't "What's wrong with me?" It's "What is my current capacity?" As Tenneil shares from her own experience recovering from an accident and loss, sometimes God's answer is simply: rest. Sleep. Stillness. Fewer commitments. And that's not giving up—that's giving yourself what you actually need to move forward. Key Takeaways Your goals aren't bad—your systems might just be built for a capacity you don't currently have When capacity shrinks, you need more support, curated priorities, and restored energy—not more willpower Exhaustion isn't a character flaw; it's information about your current circumstances Stop trying to put 10 pounds of potatoes into a five-pound bag This is part one of an important series on capacity, shame, and practical tools for maintaining your energy. Don't miss next week's continuation of this life-changing conversation.

Hey friend, let me catch you up I recorded this episode under a new-moon solar eclipse with my cows and donkeys chiming in. The cosmos felt like the perfect backdrop to share why I'm choosing stillness over hustle right now—and what that means for the podcast, my business, and you. Why I'm pressing pause (and how long) I'm giving the show a four-to-six-week breather. No, I'm not disappearing; I'm creating space to integrate some powerful shamanic work, deepen my spiritual studies, and refine how I serve. During the pause you'll still see quick reflections on YouTube and some throwback gems on socials. Simplifying for precision Over the last 18 months I kept hearing the same internal nudge: simplify. So I've trimmed extra masterclasses, sunset a few programs, and narrowed my offer suite. The result? More impact for you, more creative bandwidth for me. Decoupling money from success The moment I declared that my worth isn't tied to revenue, the universe hit me—hard. Each test of CHOICE reminded me that alignment is the real metric of success. If you've felt that tug too, you'll resonate with this part of the conversation. Intuition > intellect I share a few stories where decisions made with my gut flowed effortlessly, and others—over-engineered by my head—fell flat. The lesson? Stillness amplifies intuition, and intuition rarely leads us wrong. Living (and teaching) minimalist impact My goal is a business that thrives on about 20 focused hours a week so I can prioritize mentorship, creativity, and life on the farm. I invite you to ask: Where could a deliberate pause create momentum in your life? Want to go deeper with me (or Tina)? 1:1 Hypnosis & Identity Work – Wait-list now open; deposit secures your spot.

“Stillness removes the buffer. When you stop moving, sensation rises and that can feel uncomfortable AF.” Topics Discussed Why overdoing is often about avoiding stillness, not productivity How autopilot patterns keep the nervous system in motion The link between safety, control, and fertility burnout Why boredom and pauses support creativity and regulation Observing impulses without fixing, forcing, or judging Learning to choose stillness rather than demand it “The body doesn't avoid stillness without a reason. That reaction is information.” Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be… This episode is for the woman who knows she is tired, but cannot quite slow down. The one who has done all the things. The journals. The planning. The perfect routines. And yet something still feels loud inside. We talk about why stillness can feel unsafe. Not because anything is wrong with you, but because stillness removes distraction. It asks you to be with yourself without a role, without momentum, without identity. And for many women on the fertility journey, that is where the anxiety lives. This week is not about forcing rest or becoming some calm unicorn overnight. It is about noticing. The reaching. The tightening. The impulse to fill space. And realizing that those mundane moments are where the deepest awareness begins. Next week, we soften even more as rest gets re-framed without guilt or shame.

Send a textSometimes prayer feels like pleading and begging for something to change.Just Hoping God will fix the one thing that feels like the linchpin to our happiness.But what if prayer was never meant to be a tool to manage our life, and was always meant to be relationship?In Part 3 of The Power of Stillness, I'm sharing something the Lord has been teaching me, especially through my chronic health journey. There was a moment when I felt prompted to stop praying for healing,and instead start praying for trust and alignment.And it changed the way I commune with Him. If you've ever felt like God was far away in your most sincere prayers, this episode is for you.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.
