Podcasts about Stuck

This may sound surprising—especially because gratitude is so often recommended for healing, happiness, and personal transformation. And to be clear, gratitude can be beautiful. But what happens if someone is carrying deeper feelings of guilt, feeling undeserving of life, love, health, or happiness—and at the same time they are repeatedly bringing in strong feelings of gratitude? That combination may not create the shift they think it is creating. In fact, in some cases, it can actually reinforce the deeper feelings underneath and keep a person stuck. That is exactly what came forward when Brandy recently worked with a beautiful volunteer who had been practicing gratitude and working on herself for years, while also carrying deep guilt from the past. She genuinely wanted to heal and transform. Yet underneath the gratitude was an emotional pattern she had not fully recognized. As Brandy began helping her address what was really happening beneath the surface, the volunteer reported that her neck pain shifted from approximately a level nine to a level two or three. In this episode, you will discover: Why gratitude itself is not the problem How deeper feelings of guilt or undeservingness can change the way a gratitude practice is experienced Why simply placing a positive emotion on top of an unresolved pattern may not create genuine transformation The important distinction Brandy discovered during her own healing journey Why being honest about what is really happening emotionally can be essential for creating real change A more connected emotional state that Brandy began helping her volunteer move toward Brandy also shares how this same realization became important during her own healing journey, when she began questioning many of the practices she had been told were supposed to help. The key is not to stop feeling gratitude. It is to understand what else may be happening underneath it. Because when deeper guilt, undeservingness, or other negative emotional patterns are present, genuine healing may require addressing those patterns rather than simply trying to cover them with something positive. As Brandy says in this episode, we have to be real with what is real to get real results. And sometimes, that means looking beneath even the practices we have always assumed were helping us. → Continue Your Self-Healing Journey Listen to the Full Volunteer Self-Healing Session Click here to access today's self-healing session as Brandy Gillmore works directly with Patricia Free Mind-Body Healing Training If you'd like a deeper understanding of mind-body healing and how self-healing works: Click here to join the FREE training.

Hi, Solo Star! Feeling stuck is one of the biggest frustrations I hear from women solopreneurs. You want to move forward, you know you're capable of more, but no matter how hard you think about it or how badly you want it, nothing seems to change. It feels like the big goal is blocking your path—but what if the real reason you're stuck is something much smaller that's quietly holding everything else in place?

Quinton Sanicola joins Dr. Tara Perry for a wide-ranging conversation on subconscious reprogramming, near-death experiences, fasting, psychedelics, and the invisible "brakes" most people don't know they're driving with. Quinton opens up about his own experience going through Tara's hypnotherapy work after years of following Dr. Joe Dispenza, and the profound release he felt once his subconscious blocks were identified and rewritten. Tara shares the science behind why chronic stress keeps the body stuck in fight-or-flight, real client stories of autoimmune conditions and chronic pain resolving through this work, and why so many high achievers are secretly driven by unresolved trauma. The conversation ranges into near-death experiences, dry fasting, Vipassana meditation, and the nature of reality itself — closing with Tara's reflection that healing doesn't mean life's challenges disappear, but that we become far more resourceful and resilient in facing them.KEY TAKEAWAYS(02:58) Quinton's own experience with subconscious work after years of following Dr. Joe Dispenza — and the question that led him to go deeper: "How can I take this further?"(04:50) "Running through mud" — Quinton's description of pushing through life without addressing what's really holding him back(05:29) The release Quinton felt after his first session — like releasing the brakes on a car that's been driving with them on the whole time(06:01) Why the invisible walls and hooks people carry usually got installed in early childhood and have nothing to do with who we are today(07:35) Real client outcomes Tara has witnessed: autoimmune issues resolving, veterans with severe PTSD improving in two sessions, and chronic pain and food allergies disappearing(09:47) The science of chronic stress — why living in fight-or-flight blocks the body's ability to heal, rest, and digest(13:18) Two remarkable client stories: someone with severe food allergies who reintroduced foods after 90 days, and a Rottweiler attack survivor who avoided further jaw surgeries(16:24) Why high achievers often carry unresolved trauma and imposter syndrome — including successful entrepreneurs who are uncomfortable asking for money(19:07) Tara's recent deep dive into near-death experiences, including Dr. Eben Alexander's story and what "life reviews" reveal about what really matters(24:10) A conversation on the simulation theory of reality, affirmations, and Tony Robbins' work on rewiring the nervous system through incantations(31:51) Tara's experience with a 7-day dry fast, the mental clarity it brings, and why she considers it a powerful reset(43:23) How addictive patterns like sugar, shopping, or alcohol are really the subconscious trying to fill a void — and why healing the root removes the need for the substitute(47:12) Why even after deep healing work, life's challenges don't vanish — but you become more resourceful, resilient, and less triggered(51:33) A look at the current research on psychedelics for reducing violent crime, addiction, and end-of-life anxiety — and the difference between therapeutic use and overuseIf you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: https://ConsultTara.com/book

After stalling out on a draft she'd already outlined chapter by chapter, Lindsay Sfara discovered the story development work that has to come before an outline—and turned that stuck manuscript into a published debut novel.Today I'm chatting with Lindsay Sfara, superhero fantasy author of Aero Knights: Origins and a Notes to Novel graduate, about how developing her story before outlining it finally helped her finish the book she'd been trying to write for years.In this episode, you'll hear us talk about things like:[07:15] Why her outline looked complete but left her with no idea what to write next (and the plotting advice that made it worse)[09:45] The relief of finally knowing what her book was really about underneath the plot—and how it shaped the character development for all three of her leads[15:07] How she turned a list of disconnected events into an outline where each scene set up the next[17:41] The simple question Lindsay kept asking about her antagonist that helped her come up with ideas for conflict in the messy middle[23:04] What happened when she sent her draft to beta readers before hiring a developmental editor (and what she'd do differently next time)If you're currently stuck in an outline or a first draft, Lindsay's story proves the problem probably isn't your talent, your motivation, or your idea. Press play to hear what her outline was missing—and how to build the same foundation under yours.

Some tax decisions are easy to change. Others can lock you into a strategy you may not be able to undo. In this episode of the Tax Smart REI Podcast, Nate Sosa sits down with Hall CPA Senior Advisory Manager Justin Shore to break down tax elections that real estate investors need to understand before filing their returns. They discuss how elections can be buried inside a tax return or even be made simply by failing to file a form or check the right box. Nate and Justin cover real estate professional status and grouping elections, opting out of bonus depreciation, installment sales, 1031 exchanges, Section 754 elections, and grouping businesses under the passive activity rules. They also explain why timing matters, when an election can restrict future tax-planning opportunities, and why investors should understand the decisions being made on their returns rather than simply signing and filing. If you're buying or selling real estate, claiming depreciation, qualifying as a real estate professional, or making other major tax moves, this episode highlights the questions you should be asking your tax professional before the return is filed.

Sitting still should be the easiest thing in the world, right? But for a lot of people, it's maybe the hardest.This episode moves into the third mixed state: stillness and intimacy — safety plus shutdown, immobility without fear. What actually makes it safe to sit still, use the restroom, or fall asleep at night. Why meditation, yoga, and even bedtime can feel dangerous for someone who lives in flight, fight, or freeze. And what changes the moment a safe person joins you in stillness.This is Episode 12 of the Stuck Not Broken audiobook — Book 1, Trauma & the Polyvagal Paradigm.

What if the fear you're feeling isn't a sign to stop, but evidence that you're standing at the edge of something incredible? In this powerful conversation, Allison sits down with transformational speaker, bestselling author, and School of Becoming founder Tracy Litt to unpack why so many high-achieving women know they're ready for more but still struggle to make the leap. Tracy explains what actually happens in your brain and nervous system when you consider doing something unfamiliar, why what we call "lack of clarity" can sometimes be fear in disguise, and how to distinguish real danger from the discomfort that comes with growth. Together, Allison and Tracy share their own experiences leaving successful corporate careers, navigating uncertainty, betting on themselves, and learning to trust the women they were becoming. They also explore why sustainable transformation isn't about eliminating fear, but learning how to create enough internal safety to move forward anyway. Tracy also introduces her Choice Method, a four-part framework designed to help women build awareness, regulate their nervous systems, make decisions from their future identity, and create lasting change. If you've been feeling the pull toward something more but keep wondering, "What if it doesn't work?" this conversation may be exactly what you need to hear.

In this episode of the Get Obsessed podcast, Dr. Nicki Monti joins Julie Lokun and Mika Altidor to share how childhood trauma, addiction, and the search for self-love shaped both her life and her decades of helping others heal. An experienced therapist, author, and speaker, she draws on both professional expertise and personal experience to challenge the stories that keep people stuck. Drawing from more than four decades of sobriety, Dr. Nicki explores core wounds, emotional defenses, authenticity, and self-worth. She also reflects on caring for her late husband, working with public figures, and why healing begins by replacing old survival stories with the truth. In this episode, we discuss: What inspired Dr. Nicki to use her own life story instead of hiding behind professional credentials Why sobriety marked the beginning of emotional healing rather than the end of addiction How core wounds formed in childhood shape self-worth and lifelong beliefs Why emotional defenses can protect people while quietly preventing genuine connection The process of replacing old beliefs with personal responsibility and lasting emotional change Lessons from working with celebrities and why healing follows the same principles for everyone How projection shapes the way people judge themselves and others ABOUT THE GUEST: Dr. Nicki J. Monti is a licensed marriage, family, and child psychotherapist, author, speaker, and podcast host known for her no-nonsense approach to lasting change. Combining clinical expertise with lived experience, she helps people move beyond limiting stories through compassion, humor, and practical insight.

The U.S. job market isn't collapsing — it's stuck. July payrolls fell by 23,000, while unemployment held at 4.1%. But deeper revisions to May and June erased more than 100,000 previously reported jobs, raising bigger questions about the strength of the labor market. On this episode of Everyday Economics, Chris Krug and PhD economist Orphée Divounguy break down what the latest jobs numbers really mean for workers, businesses and the U.S. economy. They discuss: Why the July jobs report may be less alarming than the headline suggests How revisions erased more than 100,000 jobs from previous months Why hiring and layoffs are both unusually low What "stall speed" means for the labor market Why low labor-force participation is keeping unemployment at 4.1% The risks of weak job-to-job movement and slower wage growth Whether AI and data-center investment can drive a productivity boom Why future productivity gains could create new jobs — and new labor shortages Everyday Economics is brought to you by The Center Square, helping you understand the economic forces shaping your everyday life. #Economy #JobsReport #LaborMarket #Jobs #Inflation #FederalReserve #AI #Economics Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxx Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A single moment can split your life into before and after, and sometimes the shock isn't just what happened today, it's what your body has been holding for decades. We sit down with Leanne Sheargold, to unpack how repressed childhood trauma can hide in the nervous system and show up later as nausea, panic, brain fog, extreme tiredness, and sudden dissociation. Leanne shares her path through a stroke at 28, motherhood under pressure, and then the terrifying experience of buried memories surfacing in midlife after conflict and escalating control at home.We talk candidly about what dissociation can look like in real life, why sleep can become impossible, and how “I can't explain it” is often a trauma response, not a failure. Leanne also explains the reality of seeking help: the challenge of finding the right therapist, what EMDR therapy was like when it went deep, and why safety and consistency matter more than willpower. If you've ever felt like talk therapy alone keeps opening the wound without fully clearing it, this conversation gives you language and options.Then we move into Leanne's work with energetic healing and quantum healing, including how she approaches trauma as layers in the body, how she avoids putting labels on clients, and what a distance healing session can look like over Zoom. We also explore patterns that repeat through relationships and family lines, plus a powerful story of chronic fatigue improving after steady, layered work.If this resonates, subscribe for more honest conversations about trauma recovery, somatic healing, EMDR, and holistic wellness.

Get That Fixed Here: https://go.digitaltrailblazer.com/7-dollar-biz-auditMost business owners walk into networking events ready to pitch within the first two minutes, then wonder why nobody buys and nobody remembers them.

Every new school year brings change, uncertainty, and fresh challenges. For many children, those changes trigger anxiety long before the first bell rings. When worry shows up, most adults naturally try to make it disappear. They offer reassurance, lower expectations, or remove the source of distress. Those responses feel loving in the moment, yet they can quietly strengthen anxiety over time.In this episode of Overpowering Emotions, Dr. Caroline explains why the anxious brain reacts so strongly to the return to school and why accommodation often keeps anxiety alive. You'll learn what happens inside the brain when uncertainty feels dangerous, why reassurance rarely builds confidence, and how small changes in adult responses can help children develop lasting coping skills.Dr. Caroline introduces the VRI approach, and explains how to support children through emotional storms while maintaining calm, consistent boundaries. She also discusses extinction bursts, school avoidance, and practical ways to reduce accommodations without damaging connection or trust.If you're preparing for the new school year and want to help children build confidence rather than dependence, this episode offers practical strategies you can start using today.In this episode you'll learn:• Why back to school is one of the biggest anxiety triggers for children• How the amygdala and prefrontal cortex influence anxious behaviour• Why reassurance and accommodation can unintentionally reinforce anxiety• What extinction bursts are and why they happen• How to use the VRI communication strategy during emotional moments• Simple ways to encourage independence while supporting emotional regulationHomework IdeasDr. Caroline leaves listeners with practical actions they can begin immediately.1. Track Your AccommodationsSpend one week noticing every time you change your behaviour to reduce a child's anxiety or discomfort.Examples include:answering repeated reassurance questionscompleting tasks they could do independentlychanging family routines to avoid distressallowing avoidance of feared situationsstepping in too quickly to solve problems2. Practise the VRI StrategyUse VRI during anxious moments.Validate"I know this feels really hard."RemindCalmly restate the expectation and express confidence."I know you can handle this."IgnoreDo not engage in anxiety-driven bargaining, arguing, or repeated reassurance after you've communicated your message.3. Replace ReassuranceNotice how often you say, "You'll be fine."Instead, practise saying, "I know this feels scary AND I know you can handle it."4. Look for Independence OpportunitiesAsk yourself, "What am I doing today that my child is capable of doing themselves?"Build independence one small task at a time.5. Hold One Boundary ConsistentlyChoose one accommodation to reduce and stay consistent. Expect anxiety to protest before it improvesEnjoying the show?

You can be smart, capable, and genuinely good at what you do, then still find yourself circling the same decisions for months. That stuck feeling isn't a sign you're behind or broken. It's often what happens when you keep piling on more advice, more tactics, and more “how to” training until your knowledge creates uncertainty instead of momentum.We unpack why experts and service-based business owners get trapped in overthinking, especially when you're trying to turn your skills into scalable income through courses, programs, products, and platforms. I share a real story about a client who took a webinar and walked away with a pitch for a $15,000 mastermind even though she already knew how to sell. From there, we dig into the fear of making the wrong decision, how to “fail forward,” and why decisions get easier when you use data and small tests instead of waiting for perfect clarity.We also talk about the practical reasons progress stalls: lack of accountability, unclear priorities, and doing tasks that feel like CEO work but don't actually move the business. You'll leave with three simple questions that cut through the noise and help you identify your next move fast, plus a reminder that confidence shows up after you take action, not before.If you're ready to stop trading time for money and start building sustainable income with intention, book a free discovery call today.Read more here.Support the show

For decades, Samantha believed her body was a problem she needed to fix. Like so many women, she cycled through diet after diet, believing more restriction and more willpower were the answer. Instead, the rules only made her feel more obsessed with food. In this inspiring client conversation, Samantha shares how she broke free from the restrict-binge cycle, overcame decades of perfectionism and self-criticism, and built habits that helped her find peace with food. If you've ever felt like you're constantly starting over with another diet or wondering why you can't stay consistent, this episode will remind you that lasting change isn't about becoming better at dieting - it's about changing your relationship with food.

The Leadership Alignment Paradigm: Bridging Mindset and Strategy to Eliminate Founder Self-Sabotage with Bridget HomIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Bridget Hom, the Founder and CEO of Bridge to Freedom, to examine the silent operational friction that emerges when an executive's internal mindset disconnects from their outward corporate strategy. Bridget, a premier leadership coach, author of Stuck on Ready, and specialist in faith-infused mindset mastery, details how high-performing CEOs routinely suffer from decision fatigue, self-sabotage, and communication paralysis. This conversation provides an essential, actionable guide for founders, corporate leaders, and entrepreneurs who want to master self-leadership, delegate non-essential cognitive tasks, and align their core values to build an authentic, high-impact business ecosystem.The Architecture of Self-Leadership: Eliminating Mental Friction and Monetizing InfluenceThe most significant bottleneck holding back a seasoned executive from scaling their authority is rarely a lack of information, but rather an inability to convert strategic knowledge into consistent daily execution. Bridget Hom explains that when leaders fail to address internal doubts and subconscious self-sabotage, they default to busywork that drains their bandwidth and stalls revenue growth. To break through this paralysis, executives must implement structured mental reset habits, such as the "Two-Minute Brain Dump," to externalize mental clutter and regain immediate focus. By regularly clearing internal noise and systematically isolating the top three daily activities that directly monetize influence and serve people, business owners can redirect their energy away from reactive firefighting toward high-value strategic growth.Transitioning a founder out of day-to-day operational strain demands an intentional expansion of delegation that moves past traditional human resource hiring. Through "Desirability Delegation," leaders learn to systematically offload energy-draining tasks across three distinct pillars: offloading ideas to paper, transferring repetitive workflows to automated processes, and delegating specialized operational duties to qualified people. When CEOs feel stuck or resistant to this transition, utilizing diagnostic exercises like the "Five Whys" allows them to uncover the root fears—such as fear of failure or loss of control—that quietly drive self-sabotaging behavior. Uncovering these underlying triggers enables executives to "hire and fire" their internal mental dialogue, replacing unhelpful self-criticism with decisive, coach-minded leadership.Furthermore, sustaining long-term enterprise growth requires corporate leaders to integrate authentic values and intentional self-regulation into their organizational culture. Leading with transparency and moral clarity fosters psychological safety across management tiers, empowering team members to operate with genuine autonomy and purpose. By mastering the core pillars of self-leadership—self-awareness, self-regulation, intentionality, and empowerment—executives build an authentic personal brand that naturally resonates with high-value clients and strategic partners. When internal mindset alignment, disciplined task delegation, and authentic executive messaging are synthesized into a single operational architecture, a business leader successfully eliminates personal bottlenecks, amplifies their market presence, and predictably expands enterprise valuation.About Bridget HomBridget Hom is the Founder and CEO of Bridge to Freedom, an author, keynote speaker, and an expert business leadership coach. Drawing from a diverse background spanning faith-based leadership, recovery community organizing, and executive performance coaching, Bridget specializes in helping C-suite executives and entrepreneurs overcome self-sabotage. She is the author of Stuck on Ready, delivering structured mind-shift frameworks and practical growth playbooks that empower business leaders to align their internal beliefs with high-yield business strategies.About Bridge to FreedomBridge to Freedom is an elite executive coaching consultancy and leadership development agency engineered to help CEOs, founders, and business owners bridge the gap between mindset and strategy. The firm specializes in delivering custom executive coaching programs, self-leadership workshops, delegation systems design, and authentic brand messaging frameworks. Through structured mindset audits and practical accountability playbooks, Bridge to Freedom enables business leaders to eliminate cognitive overwhelm, monetize their market influence, and achieve sustainable enterprise growth.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeBridge to Freedom Official Website: bridgetofreedomcoaching.comBridget Hom on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bridget-homKey Episode HighlightsThe Two-Minute Brain Dump Protocol: Externalizing mental clutter in a rapid two-minute exercise to clear cognitive bandwidth and restore sharp executive focus.Profit and People Prioritization: Identifying and executing the top three daily tasks that directly generate revenue and deepen client relationships.The Desirability Delegation Framework: Offloading energy-draining tasks to paper, automated software processes, or qualified team members.Root-Cause Discovery via the Five Whys: Uncovering the hidden fears and core beliefs driving executive procrastination and self-sabotage.Managing the Internal Mental Team: Consciously choosing which internal perspectives to empower while dismissing unhelpful self-criticism during high-stakes decision-making.ConclusionThe conversation with Bridget Hom reinforces that achieving sustainable business acceleration requires an intentional alignment of internal mindset and outward operational strategy. By standardizing daily mental resets, mastering non-human and human delegation, and leading with radical authenticity, business leaders can transform an overwhelming executive role into a highly structured, self-sustaining growth engine.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

A few years ago, I struggled with feeling like my life wasn't going the way I thought it was supposed to. I felt behind, directionless, and honestly, just STUCK.Looking back, I realized I wasn't necessarily stuck because of my circumstances. I was stuck because I was holding onto things I needed to release.In this episode of Girls in Real Life, I'm getting honest about the things I had to let go of in order to grow. Sometimes we think changing our lives means adding more—coming up with another goal, implementing a new habit, or creating a different plan. But sometimes, the real breakthrough comes when you finally stop chaining yourself to a version of you that no longer wants to exist.If you're feeling stuck, behind, or unsure of what's next, this episode is your reminder that letting go isn't giving up. Sometimes it's the very thing that makes room for what's next.FOLLOW US: @girlsirlpod  @mariahhutchinson_ Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE!!

Episode 1020: In this episode, I want to challenge the way you think about imagination.Most people hear that word and immediately think of artists, filmmakers, inventors, or people who are naturally creative. And because they don't see themselves that way, they assume imagination just isn't one of their strengths.I don't believe that.Napoleon Hill calls imagination “the workshop of the human mind.” That definition changes everything. Imagination isn't fantasy. It's the ability to take old ideas, established facts, past experiences, mistakes, skills, and lessons and put them together in new combinations.That matters when you feel stuck.Sometimes the problem isn't that you need more information, more money, more time, or another opportunity. Sometimes you need to stop treating the facts of your situation like permanent limitations and start asking a better question:What else can I build with what I already have?I also share one simple practice I use to keep that workshop active: a few minutes of random reading to introduce new ideas and create new connections.Your experience is inventory. Your failures are inventory. Your old ideas are inventory.The workshop is already there.This episode is about learning how to use it again so you can see more possibilities, solve problems differently, and get moving when you feel stuck.Keep it simple. Keep it moving. Never settle. Stay tough.TEXT ME!Support the show

She discusses the concept of the 'identity trap' and offers insights on how to expand our professional identities beyond titles and roles.Key Takeaways:We often introduce ourselves by our profession without questioning if it limits us.The 'identity trap' can prevent talented professionals from pursuing new opportunities.Expanding our professional identity is a necessary step before external career changes.Our profession becomes more than a job; it becomes a lens for self-understanding.Mid-career growth often triggers internal identity conflicts.The key to career fulfillment is not just skills but how we see ourselves.Self-awareness about our identity can unlock new possibilities.The 'expansion question' helps clarify who we are beyond titles.Download the Career Identity Expansion Assessment here: https://lifebeyondclinicalpractice.thrivecart.com/cie-assessment/

The more you've built, the harder it gets to want the next thing. You've crossed milestones a past version of you only dreamed of and instead of momentum you're finding yourself busy with the safe stuff, the tasks you've already mastered, while the thing that would actually move your practice forward keeps waiting.If you've been asking yourself, "Why am I not motivated?" this episode is for you.

Today I'm showing you why the old fuel that got you here won't get you to the next level.We'll look at why the urgency that pulled you out of scarcity isn't available anymore and how hiding in mastery can look exactly like productivity.

Everyone thinks counting macros is discipline. Almost no one tells you it might be the exact thing keeping you sick, tired, and stuck. Justin Roethlingshoefer breaks down why tracking every calorie was never discipleship, it's obsession dressed up as obedience, and what it actually looks like to steward your nutrition the way God designed.This episode isn't anti-nutrition or anti-education. Counting calories for a week to learn what's on your plate is a tool. But the moment tracking becomes the lifestyle you live by, it stops being freedom and quietly becomes a prison, one that pulls you further from the whole foods your body was actually built to run on, while you fit "macro-friendly" chemicals into a worldly box and call it worship.In this episode, discover:The difference between using tracking as an educational tool vs. a lifestyle (and the exact moment it turns into a prison)Why "macro-friendly" foods sabotage you — how you end up eating more chemicals than real food, even when the numbers "fit"What Romans 12:1–2 actually means for your plate — eating healthy as the living sacrifice, not the restrictionThe real reason you're still sick, foggy, inflamed, and stuck (hint: you've starved the cell of what God gave it)The one shift that ends the obsession for good: eat what God made, not what man madeBecause freedom was never in the equation. It was never about fitting the ice cream sundae into your macros, it was about surrendering what you fuel with into the temple so you can carry out the calling on your life. Whole foods. Single-ingredient foods. Eaten freely, and with gratitude. Stop counting. Start stewarding.

Most beginner woodworkers aren't broke because they lack talent — they're broke because of a handful of mistakes nobody warns them about. Underpricing, chasing the wrong customers, buying tools they don't need, taking on projects that eat 40 hours for $200 profit… I've watched hundreds of guys make these exact same 6 mistakes, and every one of them is fixable. In this video I'm breaking down all 6, why they keep you stuck in the garage, and exactly what to do instead so your woodworking actually starts paying you like a business.

Do you often find yourself thinking about what you should or shouldn't do on Sunday? Stuck in this loop of either legalism or self-justification? Thankfully, God's Word regarding the Lord's Day and Sabbath provides clear direction. Joining Lucas to unpack this topic, is once again, Rev. Peter Holtvlüwer, who recently authored Foundations a new devotional on Genesis 1-3. Like many issues of our day such as marriage and identity, the Sabbath is rooted in creation and has massive implications for how we are to live. Listen as we discuss the biblical understanding of the Sabbath, Sunday, and the gift of rest. And of course how it all applies to the nitty-gritty of life. We get into all sorts of questions (many of which were submitted by listeners)!

Have you ever wondered why you can't think clearly after divorce? Why simple decisions suddenly feel overwhelming. Why you're constantly exhausted. Why you replay conversations in your mind, obsess over what happened, or find yourself checking your ex's social media even though you know it only makes things worse. If you've ever thought, "What is wrong with me?" this episode is for you. The truth is, there may be a lot less wrong with you than you think. In this episode, we'll talk about what divorce actually does to your brain in simple, practical terms. No complicated neuroscience. No therapy jargon. Just an understanding of why you're experiencing these common reactions and, more importantly, how faith in Jesus Christ can help you move through them. You'll learn: • Why making decisions feels so difficult after divorce • Why you're mentally and emotionally exhausted • Why you replay conversations over and over • Why you become obsessed with finding answers • Why it's so hard to stop checking your ex's social media • Why you may feel emotionally numb • How understanding your brain can help you stop judging yourself • Why your brain influences your healing but doesn't define your future God understands both your heart and your mind. While your brain may naturally respond to loss by trying to protect you, the Lord is helping you heal, grow, and become stronger through this experience. No matter where you are in your healing journey, remember this: you are not broken, you are not crazy, and with God's help, you can overcome this. I'd love to hear from you!

Life is constantly changing, but God calls His people to remain steady. In the opening message of our study through 2 Peter, we discover that salvation isn't the finish line—it's the beginning of a lifelong journey of spiritual growth. Learn what it means to become more like Christ, why spiritual maturity matters, and how God uses everyday life to shape a faith that stands firm.

What happens when you're doing everything "right" but still don't feel like yourself?Jennifer Woodward joins me for an honest conversation about peptides, GLP-1s, hormones, midlife health and something much bigger than weight loss: feeling at home in your own body again.Jennifer is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, hormone health educator and host of the Peptides for Women podcast. In this episode, she breaks down what peptides actually are, why GLP-1s are only one part of a much bigger conversation and why education and strong health foundations matter before chasing another solution.But we also go deeper.We talk about what it feels like when your body changes and you don't recognize yourself anymore. We talk about food noise, judgment, gratitude, relationships, motherhood, presence and why caring for yourself isn't selfish.Because the real "why" usually isn't a smaller number on a scale.It's having enough energy to play with your kids.It's traveling without obsessing over food.It's being fully present at the birthday party.It's feeling confident enough to participate in your own life again.Jennifer also shares a moment she isn't particularly proud of, when she told a friend using Ozempic was "cheating," and how becoming curious instead of judgmental eventually changed the direction of her own work.This is a conversation about health.But even more than that, it's a conversation about the relationship we have with ourselves.Listen with curiosity.And remember: we all have moments of impact. What are you going to do with yours?

What if the reason your life still feels harder than it should is one habit: tolerating inconvenience too long? Maybe you're, as Rachel Rogers calls it making "broke bitch decisions." This becomes a surprisingly powerful lens for understanding money, self-worth, safety, and joy. Drawing from Rachel Rogers' We Should All Be Millionaires, Ayana shares the personal wake-up call behind four overdue upgrades - a leaking refrigerator, an aging furnace, a worn-out mattress, and the decision to finally get serious about firearm safety after a frightening gas station incident. What starts as a funny, brutally honest rant turns into something deeper: a lesson in how self-neglect quietly drains your time, energy, and peace.You'll hear Ayana break down the difference between living with a problem and solving it, why she kept postponing expensive repairs for years, and how therapy helped her recognize the pattern. She also connects the dots between childhood conditioning, low self-esteem, ADHD, anxiety, and the way many women are taught to put everyone else first. Ayana also widens the conversation beyond home maintenance and money, reflecting on grief, disappointment, delayed goals, and the pressure to keep going even when you are exhausted. The result is an honest, funny, deeply relatable episode about refusing to shrink your own needs just because you are used to coping.

I have something SO amazing for you. Our mineral-heavy water started impacting my skin the moment we moved, and I had never experienced eczema or skin issues in my life. Hard water can strip natural oils, disrupt the microbiome, and weaken the skin barrier — leaving you inflamed, reactive, and stuck in flare-ups. That's exactly what happened to my neck, and within almost two weeks of using Herbal Face Food, my eczema is almost gone. This stuff is legit — and I only share my favorite things that actually work. Their formulas are made with ultra-potent, organic, whole-plant botanicals rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and phytonutrients that calm inflammation, rebuild the skin barrier, and fight visible signs of aging instead of masking symptoms. The Cure is their most targeted antioxidant treatment designed to visibly improve stubborn concerns like eczema, melasma, rosacea, scarring, sun damage, and deeper signs of aging. The Cream is a deeply hydrating, ultra-potent botanical moisturizer that firms, smooths, strengthens the skin barrier, and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The Soap gently cleanses without stripping, using powerful plant concentrates to protect, nourish, and support healthy, youthful-looking skin on both the face and body. If your skin has been struggling from hormones, environmental stress, hard water damage, or premature aging, I'm sharing exactly what I'm using and why it's working.
