If you've ever wondered where God is in the middle of unanswered prayers or unexpected detours, this conversation is for you. As I sit down with author Laurie Short, we talk about how looking back at God's faithfulness gives us the confidence to trust Him with what's ahead. Laurie shares powerful stories from her own life, practical ways to recognize God's hand in your story, and why even painful seasons aren't wasted. My prayer is that you'll walk away with fresh hope, a stronger faith, and a renewed confidence that God is still writing a beautiful story in your life (because, my friend, He is).

If you are a Christian woman who feels tired all the time, told your labs look "normal" while you still feel like crap, and have been pushing through anyway, I see you sister. You will appreciate this episode as I am diving a bit deeper into a biblical approach to fatigue and women's wellness. We go into why so many capable, faith-filled women are always tired, why it's quietly becoming accepted as a new normal, why more information has not changed how they feel, and the real difference between chasing wellness and practicing biblical health stewardship.  If you have prayed about your exhaustion, pushed through it, and told yourself to be grateful and keep going...you will feel seen as you listen.  And you will leave with the first real step toward understanding what your body has been trying to tell you. In this episode we go into: •  Why you can be told everything is normal and still feel exhausted •  Why more information has not changed how you feel •  Why biblical health stewardship is different from chasing wellness •  The first mindset shift toward owning your health REGISTER for the free masterclass: Stop Normalizing Exhaustion, August 25 at 7pm Eastern. In one focused hour, learn why you can feel this depleted when your labs come back "fine", why common approaches have not solved the problem, and the first step toward understanding your body. Do not miss this! Save your seat! I pray this blesses you and moves you to action!

Hi Friends! Press play, head to your bedroom, and declutter with me. In this guided session, I'll walk you through my method, which is a mindful approach that turns decluttering into a moving meditation. We'll arrive in the space, connect with the deeper meaning behind what we're doing, breathe, explore the clutter without judgment, and then notice what becomes possible when we create a little more space. Declutter in Layers Start with one category at a time and make your way around the room: Layer 1: Trash Walk around the room and collect anything that can simply be thrown away or recycled. Layer 2: Clothes Gather clothes and separate what needs to be put away, washed, donated, or let go. Layer 3: Toiletries & Personal Items Collect skincare, makeup, hair products, medications, and other personal items and return them to where they belong. Layer 4: Give Away Look for anything you already know you're ready to donate or give to someone else. Layer 5: Things That Belong Somewhere Else Gather anything that belongs in another room. Put it in a basket or pile to relocate when you're finished. Layer 6: Things You're Still Deciding About Set aside anything you're not ready to make a decision about yet. Don't let one difficult item stop your momentum. Layer 7: Clean Once the clutter is cleared, wipe down surfaces, vacuum, dust, open a window, or do whatever makes the room feel fresh. Layer 8: Put Everything Away Return the things you're keeping to their homes and enjoy the space you created. Hope this helps you!

Today I'm sitting down with my friend Kathy Lindberg to talk about God's call on our lives in this midlife season, and why answering it is never too late. Even if...those dreams have been deferred for a while now. God gives us the desires of our heart for a reason, and those desires do not retire at 40, 50, or 60. Feeling tired spiritually is real and often women feel they need to push through this fatigue even harder with more action. More doing. But your spirit whispers something different. If you are a high-achieving woman who has built a full life and still senses a quiet pull toward something deeper, you want to really lean into our conversation today. I have spent over a decade teaching God's daughters that we are called to steward our whole selves. Body, mind, and spirit. Treasuring your temple in midlife is not only physical. It begins with the health of your spirit and the consistency of your time in His Word. Kathy puts language to the question that reframes this entire season: "Where is the kingdom impact in what I am doing?" In this episode we get into: What Kathy is treasuring most in this season of life How her own story shaped her passion for discipling and equipping women What actually helps busy, distracted women reignite their love for God and build consistency in Scripture Why grounding yourself in the Word is foundational to maturing into your true identity in Christ I pray this blesses you and moves you to action!

Understanding disclosure starts with understanding the language. In this episode, Ginette breaks down the key terminology surrounding today's disclosure movement, including extraterrestrials, interdimensionals, non-human intelligence (NHI), human hybrids, and other commonly discussed concepts. By exploring what these terms mean—and why they matter—you'll gain greater clarity and confidence when navigating this rapidly evolving conversation. Ginette also shines a light on two destructive narratives currently circulating within the disclosure community that can create unnecessary fear and division. Through thoughtful discussion, she explains why discernment has never been more important and how to stay grounded, open-minded, and empowered while exploring these fascinating topics. Knowledge, curiosity, and discernment are your greatest tools.

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LEARN HOW TO JOURNALSPEAK When Christian developed chronic dizziness, vestibular migraines, fatigue, and post-exertional crashes after COVID, his life quickly became organized around fear. As a sports broadcaster, his symptoms were especially intense at work—the very place where his identity, ambition, and ability to provide for his growing family felt most vulnerable. After normal medical testing and months of searching for answers, Christian found Mind Your Body, began JournalSpeak, and started to recognize that his nervous system was capable of change. But when his symptoms didn't disappear as quickly as he hoped, a new fear took over: What if he couldn't heal unless he quit his job? What if he hadn't reached rock bottom yet? In this hybrid success story and Real-Time Heal, I help Christian understand why his symptoms attached themselves to work, achievement, and self-worth—and why recovery doesn't require abandoning his life or waiting for his body to collapse. With his first son on the way, Christian begins to see this experience not as the end of the life he planned, but as an opportunity to build the emotional strength he'll carry into fatherhood. We talk about predictive coding, symptom monitoring, fear of crashes, and the importance of meeting symptoms with safety rather than panic. Christian believes his story will have a happy ending. My answer is simple: It already does. XO n. More for you: THIS WILL SELL OUT SO BOOK SOON!!

Today we're talking to Will Rodriguez and Karen Endsley.Here's a bit more about Will's journey: My whole life I've been on a search for truth. But as a pragmatist, having been raised in the New York area, I was deeply skeptical of the messages I was hearing form the New Age movement.So I embarked on a journey of discovery. I needed to find “proof” that we were more than this 3 dimensional body we inhabit. I needed to feel it, see it, hear it, tastes it, whatever it took, but it HAD to be physical in nature. I couldn't just take someone's word for it, I had to experience it for myself. So I dove into all kinds of modalities, I even joined a coven of witches in an effort to prove to myself that the spiritual world actually existed and that we weren't just “worm food” once we died.What I found upended my reality completely. What I was most afraid of, being taken advantage of, being seen as naïve or gullible, was actually exactly what was already happening in the physical world. I found that the liars weren't those who spoke about life after death, or energy healing, or communicators with the other side……the liars were the establishments that I put my faith in; religions, government, education system.  NOT in a conspiracy theory type of way….but in a much more real way.The truth I've found is that we've been lied to for thousands of years by those that didn't want us to know the truth of who we are at our core. Because if we learned the truth that we are infinite beings of creation, they would lose the ability to control us. So suddenly I found myself with the knowledge that this Skeptic Metaphysician that I labeled myself as…..was actually already being hoodwinked. And by diving into the world of metaphysics and spirituality with a skeptical mindset…..so long as I wasn't cynical….it helped me to se the truth of who I was.  Being discerning of the messages I was hearing, but still keeping my mind open to the possibility of what the messages were revealing…that made all the difference.I feel that my co-host (who is also my wife) and I can speak to this reality very well, having conducted over 130 fun, engaging, light-hearted conversations that speak to the truth of our experiences….and shining a light on the fact that we are all indeed far more than the establishment has wanted us to believe we are.Connect with Will and Karen here:https://www.skepticmetaphysician.com/What resonated most with you and do you have further questions?DM me on IG  www.instagram.com/liveintechnicolorofficialIf you enjoyed this episode, follow the podcast and share it with someone you know.Remember - you're amazing and powerful beyond your wildest imagination! Thank you for being a part of the movement to step more and more fully into your own purpose!Xo,BaibaSupport the show

“God, what should I do?” That's the question most of us ask–maybe you’re asking it right now.. Put another way, “what is your will, God?” These aren’t bad questions–they’re good. But they can also be incomplete. Kind of like missing the forest because of the trees. Sometimes the better question is not, “God what should I do?” but “God what are you doing?” In this episode, I want to encourage you to see your circumstances (yes, the ones you are in right now) from a different perspective. Instead of only asking God what decision you should make, what if you also asked what He's doing in you? We'll talk about how God uses trials, relationships, and His Word to shape us into the image of Christ. My prayer is that you'll walk away with renewed hope, greater confidence in God's plan, and the peace that comes from knowing He's faithfully finishing the work He started in you. And, if you’re thinking, That’s great, but I still need to know God’s will. Today’s episode is the beginning point to that dilemma and next week my guest will answer the question, “How can I discern God’s will?” You won’t want to miss it! And remember, I'd love to connect more on Instagram, where you'll find me at @donnaajones. And don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss a single episode!

Rather than only asking: "God, what should I do?" Also ask: "God, what are You doing in me?" God shapes us through three primary tools: Trials – Building endurance and revealing areas for growth.

You learned to lead exhausted. You push through the fatigue, the brain fog, the slower recall, the anxiety that was not there a few years ago. You keep going because that is what you do. But functioning is no longer the same thing as thriving, or even close to how you used to feel...and you already know that. I want you to hear this episode sister! I sat down with Miguel Bautista, founder of CFS Recovery, for a powerful conversation about chronic fatigue, adrenal fatigue, Long Covid, and the signals your body has been sending you long before it forces you to stop. Miguel fully recovered from severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and built a clear, structured recovery system rooted in nervous system regulation. No quick fixes. No guesswork. He has since helped thousands of people worldwide move from surviving to fully living again. Here is what we get into: Why your chronic and adrenal fatigue is so closely tied to a stressed nervous system The hidden energy leaks keeping your body locked in survival mode How shifting the way you perceive stress helps your adrenals begin to recover Doable first steps for you when you feel like you have tried everything short of quitting the career you love This conversation is for you, the woman in midlife who loves her work but is carrying it through a lens of exhaustion. Your body is not betraying you. It is asking you to listen. Stewarding your wellness starts right there. I pray this blesses you abundantly today!

I loved this conversation because it reminded me that God doesn't just call pastors and missionaries; He calls teachers, nurses, engineers, business leaders, parents, and every one of us to make an impact for His kingdom.

If you've ever wondered whether your work, your family, or your gifts really matter to God, I think this episode will encourage you to see your everyday life as a sacred calling.

You have been tired for a while now. Not lazy tired... no one would ever accuse you of that! And your tired is not the kind of tired that a good night's sleep or stealing a few hours on the weekend to recover actually fixes. It's more like the kind of tired that is just always there, underneath everything, no matter what you do. You're still showing up, still getting it done, still being everything for everyone...but it's costing you more than it used to, and you know it. The weight is shifting and nothing you've tried is moving it. The brain fog is making you question yourself at work. The mood swings are catching you off guard. And somewhere in the back of your mind you're wondering if this is just what your 40's & 50's are supposed to feel like. (It's not.) In this episode, I am sitting down with Bria Gadd, functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner, holistic health coach, and host of the top 1% global wellness podcast The Period Whisperer, and we are getting into exactly what is happening in your body and why the harder you push, the worse you feel. (Been there, done that!) What Bria and I unpack in this conversation will shift the way you think about everything. Why your symptoms are not a betrayal, they are a message. Why the instinct to do more, eat less, and push through is the very thing keeping you stuck. What has to change in your thinking before any supplement, protocol, or therapy will actually work. And one of the most searched topics in women's wellness right now...peptides. What they actually are, what the research supports, the real danger of jumping straight to peptide therapy before you've addressed the root, and what it looks like to use them the right way at the right time. You are not falling apart. You are a high-achieving woman whose body has been running a deficit for a long time, and it is finally asking you to listen. This conversation will help you do exactly that. Your most vibrant, energized, clear-headed years are not behind you. They are ahead of you and this episode is a step toward them!

For a long time, I believed happiness was waiting for me somewhere in the future.After I lost the weight.After life slowed down.After everything finally fell into place.But over the years, I realized my life didn't become happier because I added more.It became happier because I let go of the beliefs, habits, and thought patterns that were keeping me stuck.In this episode, I'm sharing five decisions that completely changed the way I experience my life—from letting go of the need to control everything to separating responsibility from blame, releasing perfectionism, and learning that happiness isn't something you find... it's something you practice.If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're constantly waiting for life to begin, I hope this conversation encourages you to stop waiting and start living the life that's already happening around you.If this episode resonated with you, I'd love for you to share it with a friend, leave a review, and tag me on Instagram so I can hear what spoke to you most.

I think so many of us know Jesus has forgiven us, but we still live like we're carrying chains. In this episode, I want to remind you that Christ didn't simply make your life better. He set you free. Together, we'll look at what Scripture says about the freedom Jesus purchased for us and why so many of us still struggle with shame, fear, comparison, regret, and people-pleasing. My prayer is that you'll recognize the areas where you've been living like a prisoner and step into the freedom that's already yours. Because the prison door is open and Jesus is inviting you to walk out. And remember, I'd love to connect more on Instagram, where you'll find me at @donnaajones.

Am I choosing fear instead of trust? Am I holding onto bitterness instead of forgiveness? Am I comparing my life instead of living with contentment? Jesus has already unlocked the prison door.

Is self-care biblical? Yes, sister, and we talk more about this straight from God's word. Then, I show you my own personal self care modalities that I do at home and you can too. As an executive woman who loves the Lord, you may be thinking that so much emphasis on "self" is unbiblical. And you are right. TOO much self is.... selfish and unproductive to the Kingdom. But even Jesus modeled some quiet forms of self-care. Let's get into it as we talk about the world's way vs God's way of self-care. I pray this blesses you today!

Before we can make the most of the energy of the month, we need to understand the astrology behind it! In this week's episode, I sit down with astrologer Shannon Takacs to explore the incredibly transformative astrological alignments shaping July. For the first time in many years, all four outer planets have shifted into new signs, moving us from the grounding influence of water and earth into the dynamic energy of fire and air. Combined with Mars entering Gemini and Mercury Retrograde, this month brings powerful momentum for change, new perspectives, and inspired action. Shannon unpacks these rare, once-in-a-lifetime planetary movements and shares how you can work with these energies to navigate your path with greater clarity, purpose, and confidence. Don't miss this insightful conversation! *IMPORTANT JUPITER CLARIFICATION from Shannon: "This planet highlights expansion, abundance and growth. It expands whatever it touches. But it is not magically delicious like Lucky Charm breakfast cereal. We can't have expansion without constriction. As I have often noted, big growth rarely comes from sipping champagne at a wedding. Expansion requires constriction, just as an out breath requires an in breath to keep living. So don't be fooled by Jupiter's expansive nature. As with life, some of our hardest lessons provide us with the biggest growth".

1870. 1974. Aujourd'hui. Trois dates pour comprendre l'audace du Château de Laubade. ⏳Si les murs du domaine respirent encore l'esprit Belle Époque qui a régné de sa création en 1870 jusqu'à la Grande Guerre, c'est en 1974 que son destin bascule avec l'arrivée de la famille Lesgourgues.Depuis, la tradition armagnacaise a trouvé son meilleur allié : l'innovation.

Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling manipulated or wondered if you've unknowingly done the same? I know I have. In this episode, we're taking an honest look at what manipulation really is, why even well-meaning people fall into it, and how fear, pride, impatience, and unmet needs can quietly shape the way we relate to others. I'll share practical ways to recognize unhealthy patterns, communicate with honesty instead of control, and trust God with the outcomes we can't manage ourselves. My prayer is that you'll leave feeling more free, more self-aware, and better equipped to build healthier relationships.

If you've ever experienced a loss that changed everything, this conversation is for you. Grief comes in many forms–loss of a loved one, loss of a job, loss of a relationship, or simply loss of life as we want it to be–these things affect us. Deeply. In times like this we need help for our wounded hearts. Author, Lisa Appelo, knows this all too well. Lisa shares her powerful story of suddenly losing her husband and becoming a single mom to seven children overnight. Together, we talk about grief, healing, and the comfort only God can provide when life feels unbearable. Lisa offers practical wisdom for navigating loss, processing difficult emotions, and finding hope again when the future feels uncertain. Whether you're grieving yourself or walking alongside someone who is, I believe this conversation will encourage your heart and remind you that God is near to the brokenhearted.

Dry brushing has been getting a lot of attention but most of what you're hearing stops at skin deep. The real story is what it's doing deep underneath. Your lymphatic system is your body's built-in detox network, and it's also directly connected to your stress response and nervous system regulation. When it's sluggish, you feel it... in your energy, your skin, your mood, and your ability to handle everyday stress they way you used to. Dry brushing is one of the simplest ways to get it moving again. (Simple + doable, yes please!) In part 3 of the Summer Self-Care Series, we're covering what dry brushing actually does for your body, the truth about cellulite, and 3 toxic skincare ingredients you need to remove from your routine immediately.   With over 3,000 chemicals available to cosmetic formulators, what goes on your skin matters as much as what goes in your body. Simple tool. Deeper benefits than you expected. Head over to the Treasured Wellness YouTube channel to see the exact brushes used. May this support you today!

By the time an adult child finally says “I'm done,” they have usually been deciding it for about three years. The parent almost never sees it coming. The child was never once surprised. On the other side, the pain and anger that comes when someone you love with all your heart and soul refuses to talk to you? It's as crushing as it is confusing. This episode is for anyone who has ever sat in the car outside a parent's house, bracing themselves before they walk in. And it is just as much for the parent staring at a phone that has gone quiet, replaying what they could have done differently. If your relationship with your parent, or with your grown kid, has started to feel like a careful performance instead of a real connection, you are not imagining it, and you are not stuck with it. If it feels like bridges have been burned, there is a way back. In this episode you'll learn about the small, respectful shifts that re-open lines of communication, rebuild trust, and develop an enduring v.2 for your relationship.
