Send us a textIn this illuminating episode, host Andrea Atherton welcomes Carolina Bakker, The Rat Race Release Coach, for a conversation about the powerful ways Spirit guides us — even when we resist. Carolina helps women reconnect with their intuition, higher power, and spirit guides so they can create lives and businesses that truly align with their soul's calling. Together, Andrea and Carolina explore what it really means to trust your inner guidance, especially when logic, fear, or timing seem to say otherwise.Carolina shares her personal experiences of how intuition often speaks in whispers, signs, and synchronicities — and how learning to listen changed everything in her life. From major life decisions to the unexpected meeting with her now partner of twelve years, her story shows how Spirit always finds a way to align us with what's meant for us, even when we can't see the full picture. She reminds us that guidance doesn't always appear in grand gestures — sometimes it's the quiet pull, the repeating message, or the opportunity that won't leave your mind.Andrea and Carolina dive deep into how to recognize messages from your Spirit Guides, what it feels like when your intuition says “yes” or “not yet,” and how to release the need to control outcomes. If you've ever doubted your inner knowing, this episode will help you strengthen your trust, surrender to divine timing, and allow the universe to surprise you in the most beautiful ways.✨ Tune in now to learn how to let go of overthinking and start flowing with the guidance that's always available to you.Carolina Bakker: www.coachingbycarolina.com30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/

Your Internal Compass: A Beacon for Faith and Action Shannon and Dana are joined by Shandra Madson to discuss following our Internal Compass which is our ability to hear from God and be inspired and directed in our lives. Shandra Madson started a campus of the Columbus Adult Education Center in her community which teaches English to refugees and immigrants. Shandra had become aware that about one in every five people in their community did not speak English because of a large influx of refugees. She said, “They were new to our city, new to our country, and it created a lot of different dynamics and concerns and ways that these people needed to feel loved and just helped along their path. So the Columbus Center is basically there to teach English, but really it's just a beautiful place where people were able to come and feel God's love for them. And I think that was kind of our main goal. English obviously was important, but they needed somewhere that they could come just to feel safe and feel loved, and just have that humanity where they weren't feeling it otherwise in their lives.” 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:39 Meet Shandra Madson 03:23 The Columbus Center: A Beacon of Hope 07:07 Trusting in the Lord: Shandra's Journey 09:30 Success Stories and Impact 19:06 Encouragement and Final Thoughts “God doesn't care where we live. He doesn't care what our address is. He wants people to feel loved no matter where they are.” - Shandra Madson “We don't have to know everything to be able to contribute and support.” - Dana Robb “I think it's a beautiful thing that all of God's children are born with that light, and I think it's just a matter of are we willing to flame that light and just help grow it. and I think every little choice we make, every way we help God's children, that light just grows brighter and brighter. . . .It takes effort to recognize and effort to follow.” - Shandra Madson “Another thing that's been really interesting is that some maybe came in with different biases or prejudices against another nation. And because we serve so many nations, and they're learning together and have become united through that, I've seen some of those guards that they came with be let down, and actually become friends with [eachother] and realize that they have more in common than they thought at first, and that some of these prejudices that they had in the beginning were really unfounded. . . . That's been such a beautiful, one of my favorite parts to witness, that happening at the center.” - Shannon Russell “I think anytime we just reach out a hand of love and fellowship and kindness, it doesn't go unnoticed. People notice and feel that love of God as they serve.” - Shandra Madson “One thing I love is just that we all came here with different talents, and it's so easy to compare with somebody else of like, “Wow, they've done this thing,” or “They have this ability or this talent,” but it's neat to see how God can use all of our talents differently, and it can help grow to be something beautiful for all of us.” - Shandra Madson “I love that you said be still, you know, let's quiet yourself down. We live in such a rushed world, but really in order to connect to that internal compass, we have to take moments of stillness every day and quiet our minds and, and listen in.” - Dana Robb Shannon Russell treasures her roles as a wife and mother, finding that the journey of learning and growing alongside her family is the most rewarding experience of her life. At her core, Shannon is passionate about helping others. Whether it be as a real estate agent guiding her clients to one of their most significant investments – their homes, or volunteering at the Columbus Center supporting refugees in learning English and become assimilated in the United States, or creating nonprofits focused on educating youth, she loves serving those around her and is committed to making a positive impact in her community. Shannon loves connecting with women from diverse backgrounds and perspectives through Big Ocean Women where women are empowered to generate solutions that enable them to live a life of joy and abundance. Her favorite pastimes are playing pickleball, board games, hiking, anything that puts her in nature, and being a beach bum. Whenever presented with the opportunity for adventure, Dana Robb is all in.

Faith Over Frustration: When the Body Isn't Cooperating Borrowing conviction until you build your own What do you do when you're doing everything right — hitting your macros, doing your cardio, lifting hard — and your body still isn't responding? This episode dives deep into that frustrating middle ground between effort and evidence — the space where faith, patience, and discipline collide. Rachel opens up about her own current prep journey, sharing a real-time look into her mindset when progress feels slow. You'll hear raw voice memos from her Prep Diaries 2025 — the honest thoughts, lessons, and reminders she's living out right now as both coach and athlete. She also breaks down how the Grit & Grace Standards come to life when the body doesn't cooperate — from Trusting the Process to Revealing the Truth and staying anchored in God's timing instead of your emotions. If you've ever felt stuck, unseen, or impatient with your body — this episode will reset your mindset and remind you what real faith-fueled discipline looks like in action.
A Monday exploration of when and why we lose self-trust, and how we can begin rebuilding it.
What if the secret to making better decisions isn't about being right, but about trusting yourself to handle whatever happens next? This week on The Sales Maven Show, Nikki Rausch talks with Danielle Baily, an efficiency and implementation consultant, Lean Six Sigma black belt, and consulting hypnotist who helps business owners find confidence through clarity and structure. Together, they explore how learning to trust yourself can transform the way you make decisions in business and life. Danielle shares how chasing the "right" decision often leads to stress, self-doubt, and overthinking. Instead, she focuses on what's useful in the moment. She explains how identity, fear of judgment, and outside expectations can make choices harder, and how separating who you are from the results you get can make decision-making easier. Her "knee-jerk no" strategy is a simple but powerful way to create boundaries and make sure every yes aligns with your long-term goals. The conversation also dives into decision fatigue and practical ways to prevent it. Danielle and Nikki discuss batching simple tasks, building consistent routines, and keeping your circle of advisors small so you can stay focused. They remind listeners that you don't need every answer before you act. Confidence grows when you make a choice, learn from it, and give yourself permission to adjust along the way. If you've ever found yourself frozen by indecision or stuck waiting for the perfect moment, this episode will help you trust yourself, simplify your process, and take the next step forward. Actionable Takeaways: Batch everyday decisions like meals, outfits, or your calendar to protect mental energy. Use the "knee-jerk no" method to ensure your yes truly matches your goals. Detach your identity from the outcome and focus on what's most useful in the moment. Allow yourself to pivot when new information appears. Keep your circle of input small to avoid confusion and delay.

In this episode, I talk about fitness. How do you achieve a coregasm? (00:42:36) This is my 2026 fitness goal, and I invite you to join me in this challenge. Even if we can't fully achieve it, we'll be better off for trying. This week's reading's charm was the Anchor (00:03:09), this definitely is your soulmate. Compromises are necessary, though. I use some sailing references to explain the need to cut ties with those who are holding you back. When something that once saved you now becomes a hindrance, it's time to free yourself from the line that has become fouled. What beliefs do you hold that no longer serve you? What connections in your life hold you back? That's the introspection for this week. Anyway, you'll learn more about my past and my former dreams this week. One thing I've learned from sailing is to always trust your gut feeling. Never let anyone wave you off when your life is on the line. Trust your instincts; they are there to keep you alive. ⚠️ These are performances and for entertainment purposes only.

The Rock Church - Weekend Messages w/ Pastor Miles McPherson (Audio)
In this message, Pastor Miles teaches that tithing isn't about rules—it's about relationship and trust. From Abraham to Jesus, the tithe has always been a heartfelt response to God's grace and faithfulness. When we return to God what already belongs to Him, we honor His provision and invite His blessing into every area of our lives. Watch this message to discover how a trusting heart unlocks the promises of heaven.
Times of despair will come to the Christian's life, but our anchor is grounded in the past work of Christ, which gives us confidence in the present and hope for the future.
In this inspiring and down-to-earth conversation, psychic and intuitive guide Corbie Mitleid shares her remarkable path—from being the "black sheep" in a family of medical professionals to discovering a passionate purpose in spiritual guidance. Corbie reveals what it means to truly live an examined life, make career choices led by passion, and use intuitive tools to bring clarity and healing to others. She explores how past lives can influence present-day relationships and personal growth, discusses the ethics of psychic readings, and offers practical insights for self-reflection and navigating life with intention. With humor and hard-earned wisdom, Corbie encourages us to embrace authenticity and deepen our connection in a world that often pulls us away from ourselves.
In this study from Ruth 3, Pastor Kevin teaches on God's redeeming love, seen through the relationship between Ruth and Boaz. Naomi prompts Ruth to seek security through Boaz, the kinsman redeemer, who represents Christ as the one who rescues and restores us. The message highlights trusting God's prompting, trusting the Redeemer Himself, and trusting His promises. Pastor Kevin reminds believers that the Holy Spirit always points us to Jesus, that true love involves faith, humility, and commitment, and that redemption is a work of grace accomplished by Christ for all who choose to come to Him.
This weeks episode is a soft landing for your soul. I'm joined by Hillary McVeigh, a lawyer turned Human Design teacher and an all-around luminous powerhouse who leads with heart, intuition, and deep feminine wisdom. Her presence alone feels like a transmission… gentle yet potent, grounded yet magical. Hillary's work reminds us that life gets to feel aligned, divinely guided, and supported, and that miracles aren't random. They unfold naturally when we are living in truth and surrendering to the universe's rhythm. In this conversation, we explore: ✨ How miracles are simply byproducts of alignment ✨ The unseen magic happening behind the scenes on our behalf ✨ Moving from control into surrender - the feminine way ✨ Building trust in the universe even when you can't see the path ✨ How to soften into flow when the mind wants proof ✨ Real stories of surrender turning into something even more beautiful ✨ The difference between forcing life and allowing life to reveal itself This is a deeply nourishing reminder that you don't have to hold it all, push so hard, or control every outcome. You are guided. You are held. And life wants to meet you with more than you can imagine. Let this be your permission to relax your shoulders, breathe deeper, and trust that your alignment is the doorway, and the miracles will meet you there.

There are moments in our faith journey when everything changes — when the veil lifts, when truth becomes personal, when God reveals Himself in a way that leaves no doubt: this is real.For me, that moment happened in front of the Holy Eucharist. The Eucharist has been the X-factor in my life and my walk with Christ — not an idea, not a symbol, but the living presence of Jesus: Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.Trusting without seeing. Believing without fully understanding. Taking Jesus at His word in John chapter 6, when He promises that His flesh is true food and His blood is true drink. That trust — that surrender — has opened a floodgate of grace in my life that I cannot fully explain, but I can testify to.In Holy Communion, Jesus has given me peace in storms that should have broken me.Hope when situations looked hopeless.Strength beyond my capacity.And a burning fire in my soul to live differently — because He lives in me.Daily Mass has changed everything. Time before the Blessed Sacrament— Jesus in the Eucharist as the center of my faith is where I find him because he is the center of my life. Today, we continue through the second half of John 6, and I share why the Eucharist isn't just a belief for me — it is my lifeline, my anchor, and the love that sustains me.If you've ever struggled to trust without seeing… If you've wondered how to encounter God in a deeper way…If you're longing for a faith that fills you, fuels you, and transforms you…This episode is for you. Let's step into the mystery — and discover the miracle that is Jesus in the Eucharist.#JesusInTheEucharist #FaithJourney #John6 #HolyCommunion #CatholicFaith #EucharisticRevival #DailyMass #TrustWithoutSeeing #JesusIsLord #BreadOfLife #GodIsReal #HolySpirit #ef3life #lifetothefullest #hope #catholic #sacrament #xfactor #grace #peace #consecration #Transubstantiation #love #god #jesus #believe

Turning Insight into Tangible, Real-World Change Alignment Accelerator (part 2) Inside Jaime's private coaching session What does real transformation look like? Just two weeks after her first call with Blake, Jaime was maintaining her energy, honoring her personal routines, and creating more balance than ever before- during her busiest season at work. The clarity she gained around her work relationships also deepened her understanding of what she truly wants in her personal life—and how to ask for it without compromise. This is what alignment looks like in motion. Real, sustainable change that helps you work smarter, strengthen relationships, and show up with more energy for what matters most, at work and beyond. She was also facing another challenge that so many high-achievers can relate to: daily interactions with her boss that left her drained, second-guessing herself, and spinning in frustration. In this episode, you'll hear how we transformed what looked like a personality conflict into more effective leadership communication strategies. Through small shifts in awareness and communication, Jaime learned how to lead "up" more effectively, reduce unnecessary rework, and turn draining meetings into collaborative partnerships. If you've ever wondered about finding clarity and energy for meaningful relationships while succeeding in your career, or what executive coaching actually looks like in practice, this conversation is for you. Episode Highlights Small Changes, Big Impact [03:00] - How two daily breaks transformed Jaime's energy [06:00] - Grouping tasks and protecting focus time Transforming Draining Relationships [10:00] - The real reason why your boss might be draining you [17:00] - Understanding visionaries vs. implementers [23:00] - The one-page recap that changed everything Leadership Communication That Works [29:00] - Being specific vs. staying vague when workload is unrealistic [37:00] - How to have the conversation that changes the dynamic [45:00] - Leading with humanity instead of blame From Career Clarity to Personal Clarity [52:00] - What do you really want in a partner?

The lessons that we get always show up in multiple places." — Blake Schofield "The right person for you will feel calm, peaceful. You will not feel confused or chaotic or any of those things." — Blake Schofield "I truly believe everyone is doing the best that they can. Usually when we're having the biggest issues, it's because somebody is in survival mode or they're just lacking awareness of how what they're doing has impacts on other people." — Blake Schofield Resources Mentioned Drained at the end of the day & want more presence in your life?

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we explore how travel can be a transformative form of self-care. Joining us is Zoa Conner, a functional wellness guide and retreat leader, who unpacks why travel isn't just a break from routine—it's a conscious tool for healing and growth. We discuss how travel influences our nervous system, how to align destinations with personal wellness goals, and why self-care is never one-size-fits-all. Zoa shares her personal journey supporting her daughter's recovery from mold illness and offers practical advice on making self-care travel accessible, intentional, and impactful. This conversation challenges common misconceptions and redefines what true self-care looks like, even on a budget. About the Guest:Zoa Conner is a physics PhD and a functional wellness expert dedicated to helping people feel better, not older. Through her retreats and 1:1 coaching, Zoa blends science and intuition to create personalized self-care plans that include the transformative power of travel. Her mission is to empower individuals to nurture their bodies and minds in ways that truly support long-term wellness. Key Takeaways: Travel can recalibrate your nervous system, offering deeper healing than a typical vacation. The best self-care travel is aligned with your current wellness needs—whether that means quiet nature escapes or vibrant city visits. Small, local trips can be just as powerful for self-care as luxury getaways. Trusting your body's signals is just as crucial as following data and trends. Redefining wellness travel helps break down privilege-based misconceptions and makes it accessible to all.

You are not broken. You do not need to become addicted to discipline. You do not have to become unrecognizable. You do not have to perform your life for the internet to prove you are improving. You need a calm head while you take action, and you need to decide to trust yourself.I talk about how the self help and fitness world is built on keeping you chasing dopamine hits. Watch this video. Follow these five steps. Do this one tactic. Optimize every second. Stay productive. Stay obsessed. And if you still feel like an outsider after all of that, it must be because you are not hardcore enough. That message is everywhere. It is profitable. But it is garbage.Your mindset is not a color coded routine. It is two things. First, when you are taking action in any area of your life, I want you operating from a quiet mind. Health and fitness. Creative work. Career moves. Relationships. Hobbies. Whatever you are building. You take the action, and in that moment you trust that either you know what to do or you are going to figure it out. You trust yourself. You choose to believe in yourself even if you have decades of feeling behind, or feeling like you do not belong. When you truly trust yourself while you are doing the thing, the noise drops. You are not performing for anyone. You are not posting hoping that one specific person sees it and finally validates you. You are just doing your thing.Second, you have to be able to sit with what is in your head when it is not quiet yet. This is the part most people run from. This is why a lot of us binge self improvement content. Because being alone with our thoughts does not feel great at first. You have a lot of fear, shame, comparison, and old stories coming up. I talk about why this part matters, how it gets less intense over time, and why therapy, journaling, breathing, and staying present in your body are not weak fallback plans. They are practical ways to teach yourself that you are safe in your own head.I tell you flat out that believing in yourself is a decision, and it is a decision you are going to have to reinforce daily. Use this podcast for that. Use the archive. Use the other YLF shows. Let this play in the background while you go about your day and remind yourself that you are capable. Because you are. You have gotten yourself this far, through everything you have had to navigate. You are resilient. The current self help and fitness space markets against your insecurities. It convinces you that you are always behind, always not enough, always needing to grind harder. I am not interested in feeding that. My approach with Your Level Fitness is different on purpose. We build results as a byproduct, not as an obsession. We build confidence and trust in yourself instead of guilt around food, shame around your body, or panic around whether you are doing enough.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

Trusting in the Lord might not come easy to everyone, but those who develop that faith are promised, “He shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6). For husband-and-wife team Porter and Carlie Ellett, much of their journey of trust has played out on the field of the biggest sport in the United States.

In this revealing episode of Not Alone, Valeria sits down with an OG digital creator, entrepreneur and mom Brittany Xavier, for an honest conversation about faith, motherhood, and staying grounded in a rapidly changing online world. Brittany opens up about her early start on social media, the business behind her brand, and the journey from being a young single mother to one of the most recognizable figures in the influencer space. She shares how trusting in God's plan guided her through life's biggest turning points, from choosing to keep her baby and balancing school, work, and motherhood, to navigating a difficult custody battle and ultimately finding her voice through content creation. Together, Valeria and Brittany explore what it means to live authentically online, the lessons she's passed down to her daughter about social media and technology, and how her family's move from California to Tennessee brought both public scrutiny and peace. It's a conversation about growth, resilience, and choosing faith and family over everything, and a reminder that the most powerful influence comes from being true to who you are.
In this section of Homily Five, St. Isaac draws deeply from the ancient well of ascetical wisdom, weaving together the practical counsel of St. Ephraim with his own luminous vision of divine providence. His teaching moves with precision from the diagnosis of sin to the healing of the soul, from the vigilance of self-knowledge to the vision of God's mercy revealed through trial. St. Ephraim's words set the tone: every spiritual illness must be treated by its proper remedy. One cannot overcome a vice through random struggle or general good intentions, but only by applying a medicine suited to the disease. Just as heat is not fought with more heat, so envy, pride, and wrath are not healed through self-will or argument, but through the contrary virtues: humility, patience, and mercy. For St. Isaac, this is the beginning of ascetic discernment. The wise man learns to recognize the first stirrings of passion, and “plucks it up while it is still small,” knowing that what begins as a passing thought can quickly become a tyrant ruling the soul. Negligence is the mother of bondage. From this root teaching springs one of St. Isaac's central themes: the blessedness of patient endurance. The one who can suffer wrong with joy, though he has the means to defend himself, has entered into the mystery of the Cross. To bear insult without resentment, to be accused unjustly and respond with humility—these, he says, are the highest forms of virtue, admired even by the angels. Such endurance is not weakness but divine strength, the quiet radiance of faith proven by trial. Here we find the echo of the Beatitudes and of the Apostle's words, “When I am weak, then I am strong.” St. Isaac then warns against a subtler danger: self-confidence. “Do not believe yourself to be strong until you are tempted and find yourself superior to change.” Virtue untested is unproven. To imagine oneself firm before temptation is to invite a fall, for pride blinds the soul to its own frailty. True strength is born only from humility, the knowledge of one's dependence upon God. Likewise, knowledge itself can become a snare when it is not rooted in meekness. A “meek tongue” and “sweet lips” reveal a heart governed by peace rather than pride. Those who do not boast of their struggles or their gifts are preserved from shame, while those who glory in their works are permitted to stumble, that humility may be learned through experience. The culmination of this passage is the vision of divine providence, which St. Isaac presents not as an abstract doctrine but as an experience granted to the purified heart. God's care, he says, surrounds all, yet it is seen only by those who have cleansed themselves of sin and fixed their gaze upon Him. In times of trial, when the soul stands for the truth, this providence becomes radiant and tangible—as though seen with bodily eyes. God reveals Himself most clearly in suffering, granting His servants courage and consolation. As He strengthened Jacob, Joshua, the Three Youths, and Peter, so too He anoints all who endure affliction for His sake. In these paragraphs, St. Isaac sketches the entire map of the ascetical path. The soul begins with vigilance, pulling up the roots of passion before they grow. It advances through endurance, learning the joy hidden in unjust suffering. It is tested in humility, discovering that self-reliance is the greatest enemy. And finally, it arrives at the vision of providence, seeing that all things—even trials and delays—are instruments of divine love. The warfare is inward, but the victory is divine. The heart that ceases to rely on itself learns to rest in God, and the eyes once blinded by passion come to behold His mercy shining through every storm. This is the medicine of the soul and the peace of those who have learned the wisdom of the Cross. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:01:25 Fr.
