Heather and Dr. Alison talk about survival mode, nervous-system regulation, healthy boundaries, difficult emotions, and the difference between operating from love versus fear. Together, they explore how compassion, not criticism, can help us become a safe place for ourselves with God, and offer simple practices for slowing down, grounding ourselves, and inviting God into the moments when life feels overwhelming. Heather also shares the heart behind her upcoming book, The Sunday Reset, and the importance of creating rhythms that help us return to what matters most.00:00 Introduction to the episode and guest Dr. Alison Cook04:01 The importance of a weekly reset and intentional living08:10 How physical health impacts emotional and spiritual capacity10:01 The journey of personal growth and legacy building12:11 Pre-ordering the book and upcoming resources13:56 Understanding the nervous system and stress response16:10 Practical grounding techniques and quick calming strategies17:55 The importance of grounding in nature and sensory awareness20:04 Recognizing overfunctioning and setting healthy boundaries21:50 Managing technology boundaries and social media use24:07 How to notice and process emotions with compassion27:10 The role of physical sensations and pain in emotional awareness29:48 The inner critic and self-compassion practices32:11 Bringing emotions to God and spiritual honesty34:01 Handling change and transitions with a secure inner base36:10 Becoming your own secure base with God's help38:00 Practical steps for self-care and boundary setting39:51 The vulnerability of sharing personal stories in faith and healing42:08 The importance of community, support, and sharing resources44:00 Final thoughts and how to stay connected with Dr. Alison CookLinks from this episode:Dr. Alison Cook’s new book The Secure Soul: Finding Inner Strength and Connection When Trust Doesn't Come Easy: https://amzn.to/4xCUHK7The Sunday Reset: https://amzlink.to/az0JFtC7D6tuFAll books, supplements & other Amazon finds mentioned in this episode: https://amzlink.to/az02Bko8D7V84 Connect with Heather:Heather's Amazon storefront: https://amzlink.to/az0SBFjfgDyEl Heather’s Make Wellness peptides: https://makewellness.com/8EBE36DAF7/Shopping/Share?promo=give10Heather's freebies: https://www.mylifewellloved.com/freebies/Heather's email list: https://spring-pine-631.myflodesk.com/9347a138-077e-4c55-bf61-2137aeed89eaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/healthybyheatherbrown/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HealthyByHeatherBrownPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/healthybyheatherbrown/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HealthyByHeatherBrown/videosLTK: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/HealthybyHeatherBrownTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healthybyheatherbrownHow you can show the podcast love:FOLLOW - Click the purple '+' in the top right corner of your Apple Podcasts app.RATE - We’d love it even more if you could drop a 5-star rating over on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.REVIEW - Simply select “Ratings and Reviews” and “Write a Review” then a quick line with your favorite part of the episode.
