After two recent shootings in my small mountain town, one at the local high school and another at the rec center, I felt called inward. In this episode, I open up about my childhood experience with Mormon fasting, the shame I carried around breaking a fast, and why I avoided fasting for years even though I understood the health benefits of detox, prayer, and intentional restriction.I also talk about how I am supporting my body safely with electrolytes, minerals, and a low calorie approach to help stimulate autophagy, along with what I am noticing from caffeine withdrawal, energy shifts, and sleep changes. More than anything, this episode is about nervous system regulation, spiritual fasting, resilience after trauma, and choosing love when the world feels upside down. If you are walking through your own healing journey, detox, spiritual reset, or simply trying to stay grounded during uncertain times, this conversation is for you.IN THIS EPISODE:(0:00) Welcome to the diary series and why this season is different(2:28) Day 6 night journal: fasting, face peel, no coffee and a total reset(3:32) Fire horse energy and what happens when life turns upside down(4:27) A school shooting in my small town and the emotional impact of another incident today(6:47) Why I am committing to a 5 day fast for healing, prayer and autophagy(7:39) Childhood fasting trauma in the Mormon church and releasing shame around sacrifice(10:17) How I am preparing differently this time with electrolytes, intention and nervous system support(12:30) Prolon fast explained: autophagy, ketosis, muscle preservation and what to expect(14:50) Real time fast update: energy shifts, sleep changes and day by day insights(16:24) Sugar free electrolytes and why hydration is critical during fasting(17:33) Glutathione face peel, pattern interrupts and stepping into a new season(18:32) Choosing coherence over chaos and making love the assignment(21:48) Prayer, vision and staying out of fear while holding the frequency(23:11) Final reflections, how to share your experience and what is coming in day 7
