Everyone struggles with feelings of self-worth and self-acceptance from time to time. Our bodies are sacred; as the Bible says, we're created in God's image.

Today's conversation is deeply personal, and deeply important. I sit down with my dear friend Emily Smith to discuss her incredible journey with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Just months after her shocking diagnosis, Emily's cancer had already spread to her brain - a rare and aggressive progression that left her doctors uncertain of the path forward. But today, we talk about the courage and grace Emily carried in the midst of her fight. It will leave you in awe and eager to embrace each day with renewed purpose.Through it all, Emily has maintained an unwavering spirit of hope, positivity, and determination. Rather than letting the diagnosis consume her, she has focused on being present for her family, finding humor in the darkest moments, and using her experience to uplift and support others facing similar battles. She openly shares the emotional rollercoaster of her diagnosis, the invaluable support she's received, and the profound shift in her perspective on what truly matters in life. For anyone seeking inspiration, comfort, or a reminder that even in the face of unimaginable challenges, this story is a reminder that there is always reason to hope. This is about celebrating this remarkable woman and the beauty that can emerge from the darkest of circumstances.- - - - - - - - - - -Liz Durham Instagram | WebsiteSubscribe Apple Podcast | SpotifyBeing Different with Liz Durham is a Palm Tree Pod Co. production

Finding the right medical support made a significant difference. Sarah emphasizes the importance of not giving up on the journey. She believes in the power of intuition and listening to one's body.

She encourages others to start their journey sooner rather than later.       For more information about Michelle, visit: www.michelleoravitz.com   The Wholesome FertilityFacebook group is where you can find free resources and support: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2149554308396504/   Instagram: @thewholesomelotusfertility   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewholesomelotus/     Transcript:   Michelle (00:00) I'm so excited to have you on today, Sarah, to share your story. Thank you so much for being willing to open up and inspire others with your journey. I'd love for you to introduce yourself and share a bit about your experience.   Sarah (00:20) Thanks for inviting me, Michelle. My name is Sarah, and I struggled with unexplained infertility for three and a half years. I had multiple tests and examinations, visited several doctors, and went through all the standard procedures, but no one could pinpoint the issue.   During my research, I discovered that acupuncture could be helpful for infertility, as it promotes relaxation and balance. Along with acupuncture, I learned about the importance of the right supplements. That's when I found you, Michelle, through your amazing reviews online. I reached out, explained my situation, and shared how I'd been following everything the doctors recommended, eating healthy, but still had no success. What struck me immediately when I met you was your energy and positivity. You weren't just an acupuncturist; you were like a life coach, guiding me step by step. During our first visit, you assessed my needs, recommended supplements, and started a treatment plan. After just one session, I felt significantly more relaxed. I also started practicing the visualization techniques you suggested, spending time at the beach, watching the sunrise, and focusing on restoring my energy.   After five treatments, I was able to get pregnant naturally. It was an incredible moment, and I can't thank you enough for your guidance and support. Michelle (03:17) I appreciate your kind words, Sarah, but I want to highlight the effort you put into this journey. You took initiative, embraced the practices, and made significant changes—that's a big deal.   Sarah (03:28) Thank you. It was a challenging road, but your support made all the difference. To give some context, I had tried naturally for three and a half years. Then, I underwent four IUIs, but none were successful. During one of those cycles, I worked with another acupuncturist, but it didn't help. Eventually, I decided to move on to IVF. My first IVF attempt wasn't successful. The clinic retrieved a few eggs, but only two made it to embryos, and the fresh embryo transfer didn't work. That experience was emotionally draining. The clinic's lack of support left me feeling alone and uncertain. That's when I turned to you. We started acupuncture and supplements, and your guidance helped me approach the process differently. I switched to a new clinic, which was much more supportive. They recommended combining acupuncture with IVF, and this time, everything felt more aligned.   Michelle (06:01) It's amazing how much the right environment and support can make a difference.   Sarah (06:22) Absolutely. The second clinic was so thorough and caring. They retrieved more mature eggs, and six of them made it to embryos. We planned a frozen embryo transfer but decided to wait a few months to let my body recover. Meanwhile, I continued with acupuncture and the protocol you recommended.   Then, something unexpected happened. Before the transfer, I got pregnant naturally. It was a complete surprise. I couldn't believe it after everything I had been through. Michelle (08:27) That's incredible! Your story is so inspiring because you had every reason to feel defeated, yet you never gave up. What kept you going? Sarah (10:00) I'd say it was a combination of faith and determination. I also had a dream after my first failed IVF that really stuck with me. In the dream, a man in brown clothing with a beard stood over me and placed his hands out, giving me energy. It felt like a message not to give up.   Michelle (12:14) That's so powerful. Dreams can be deeply meaningful, especially during such emotional journeys.   Sarah (13:32) It was. That dream, combined with my spiritual practices, gave me strength. I started focusing on connecting with God and nature, walking barefoot in the sand, and appreciating the present moment. I also began meditating and visualizing my body healing and preparing for pregnancy. Those practices made a huge difference. Michelle (17:22) It's amazing how those connections to faith and nature can create such profound shifts. And I remember when you first came in, your hands were very cold, which indicated poor blood flow. Improving circulation was a key part of the treatment. Sarah (18:45) Exactly. My hands aren't cold anymore, and I feel so much healthier overall. The blood flow improvements and supplements were game-changers.   Michelle (19:58) Blood flow is essential for nourishing the body and supporting fertility. In Chinese medicine, when the blood isn't circulating well, it can cause stress and other issues. Supporting the body holistically allows it to do what it's meant to do naturally. Sarah (22:33) I agree. Another big takeaway for me was learning that not all clinics or protocols are the same. Switching to a more supportive clinic and waiting for my body to recover before the frozen embryo transfer were critical steps. Patience and intuition played huge roles.   Michelle (23:44) Your intuition and persistence were key. And I'll admit, when I first met you, I had a feeling you'd be successful. But I always try to stay neutral because I never want to give false hope. It's about supporting the process and trusting your body.   Sarah (24:26) Thank you for believing in me. That belief made such a difference, along with everything I learned about visualization and spirituality. I've come to realize how powerful those tools are.   Michelle (29:23) It's true. Visualization and faith are incredibly powerful. Thank you so much for sharing your story, Sarah. Your journey will inspire so many others who are navigating similar challenges.   Sarah (30:02) Thank you for having me, Michelle. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to share my story and hopefully give hope to others. Never give up—the results are worth it.   Michelle (30:30) Absolutely. Thank you again for opening your heart and inspiring others.

We discuss how managing your expectations, doing your research, and being open about the challenges can help diminish the feelings of isolation that many face when TTC (trying to conceive). Whether you're struggling with infertility, undergoing IVF, or just learning about reproductive health, Elizabeth's insights are a powerful reminder that fertility journeys don't have to be filled with shame. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking for hope, clarity, and strength on their path to parenthood. Useful Links from this episode Elizabeth Carr Instagram Website

As we go into Christmas, we remember that both the story of Scrooge and the birth of Jesus are stories of hope.

Ep #304 - A Story of Hope for This Holiday Season - featuring an interview with veteran and inspirational speaker, Jason Morgan As I close out 2024 my team and I have been talking about our theme for 2025. And we have landed on Soul Growth as our overarching message for this upcoming year. I am bringing this up now because my team and I decided to replay a show I recorded in 2021 with veteran, inspirational speaker and author Jason Morgan. His story is all about soul growth and facing life challenges with a "can do" attitude. Jason was injured in the line of duty and came home a paraplegic.  During his recovery, Jason was introduced to the non-profit organization Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) and it became a life-saver for him. With their help he was paired with a service dog to assist him in living an independent life. His first canine companion service dog, Napal, is the one featured in his book, A Dog Called Hope. I strongly encourage you to listen to the words of this very special man and his story or courage, hope and inspiration. In June of 1999, Jason Morgan was deployed to South America on a counter narcotics mission. His life was changed forever in the remote area of Ecuador when during an altercation with drug traffickers, his driver lost control of their SUV causing it to launch off the road into a steep ravine. Jason was ejected from the car and suffered a crushed spine. He was left for dead, drowning with his face submerged in swampy water, but then a miracle occurred. An American missionary working on radio towers in the area came upon the scene and saved Jason's life. Two months later Jason awoke from a coma with no immediate recollection of what had happened. He was told by doctors it was a miracle he had survived. However, as a result of his extensive injuries he was also told he would never walk again. Jason has since developed a special creed to offer hope to others who have been tragically injured: “I've tried to live my life by offering hope and renewed strength to those who have suffered a tragic injury or disability. Life may not be better or worse, but it will be different and I want to show them by example that you can live a productive life. And a life of purpose no matter what condition you're in. You need to focus on your ability, not your disability.” Today, Jason Morgan continues to use his story to motivate groups and individuals. Discussions are now underway for the book to become a major motion picture.  Jason remarried on April 24, 2021 and has five boys. Jason, Kim and his dog, Yago now reside in Nevada, Texas.

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. How much are you watching the news right now? I know a lot of people have stopped watching altogether because it's just too depressing some days. But did you know that many today are living without hope. But here's some good news: The Bible says that, “God so loved the world that He gave is only Begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.” The wages of our sins is death, but on Christmas Day, over two thousand years ago, a gift was given to us. Hope was born. His name is Jesus, and He is Christ the Lord. God Himself came dwell with us as a human and lived a perfect life we couldn't. He then died a cross as the needed sacrifice to pay for our sins. And now, He offers us the free gift of eternal life. And all we have to do is place our faith in Him and Him alone. Now, this is hope! For more on the Gospel, visit our website at www.sharelife.today.

Send us a textOn the morning of Friday, September 29th, Ray and Rosanna Eggers woke to the sound of pounding rain in western North Carolina. The gentle stream that flowed near their mountain home had turned into a raging force of nature. Looking out the window, Ray's face grew tense. "We gotta go," he said firmly.Grabbing a few essentials, they headed for the door, but by the time they stepped outside, the water was already knee-deep. The stream had become a flood. Scrambling to higher ground, they reached an elevated road and watched helplessly as the surging waters tore through their beloved home. Furniture, photographs, and keepsakes—all the memories built over a lifetime—were swept away in a matter of minutes.When the floodwaters finally receded, Ray and Rosanna returned to what was left of their house. Mud covered every surface. The floors were warped and buckled, and the drywall had crumbled. It was devastation in every direction. Their hearts sank. Everything was gone.In the aftermath, their first thought was to contact their children. But with cell phone service down, every call failed. Anxiety grew as they desperately tried to let their family know they were safe. Finally, after several agonizing hours, they made contact with their four daughters. Everyone was safe. But the reality remained—Ray and Rosanna's home was gone.What followed in the weeks and months to come was a testimony to compassion and faith. Help began to arrive—sometimes from the most unexpected places. Strangers offered support. A generous family from Maryland donated a beautiful travel trailer, giving them a place to live. Cash donations poured in from people they had never met. Samaritan's Purse sent a team to help clear the debris from their property, cleaning and preparing the land where their home once stood.The Shady Grove Family has been privileged to join in the love and support for  Ray and Rosanna.This story of heartbreak, resilience, and the overwhelming love of a community is the focus of today's episode of Shady Grove Radio. It's a powerful reminder of how, even in the darkest moments, the hands and feet of Christ are present in the kindness and generosity of others.Tune in to hear the full story of Ray and Rosanna Eggers—a story of loss, faith, and the light that shines through when everything else is washed away.Shady Grove Info Click here for more https://www.shadygrove.net/events FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/ShadyGroveWesleyanChurch

In this episode of the Real Health Podcast, Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ron Hunninghake, MD, talks to Jason West of Hyatt Life Sciences about Afaya Plus and it's potential as an aid in cancer treatment. Afaya Plus contains Arum Palaestinum – the flagship. The mother lode. The pièce de résistance. The plant that started it all. Think of it as the “Chicken Noodle Soup of the Middle East” – it's been used for generations to promote health and has documented use by people as a food and as a medicinal preparation dating all the way back to the 9th Century A.D. Known locally in the Middle East as “loof”, this plant piqued our scientific curiosity back in 2005.
