Thriving in Christ | Professional Women, High Level Habits, Resilience, Burnout, Stress, Grief

Sometimes the greatest challenge isn't that we don't know enough. It's that life moves so fast we no longer create space to recognize God's wisdom when He is already offering it. In a world overflowing with information, opinions, and artificial intelligence, perhaps the question is no longer, "How can I learn more?" but, "How can I become quiet enough to receive true wisdom?" In this Centering Reset, we'll explore how slowing the body, calming the mind, and turning toward Christ opens the door to the kind of wisdom that transforms not only our decisions, but the way we live and lead. Things to discover in this RESET episode: ✨ Wisdom begins where hurry ends. ✨ A calm mind creates space for discernment. ✨ God's wisdom is received, not manufactured. ✨ Actual time during this episode to access God's wisdom for one of your pressing needs.

Some of life's deepest wounds might come from what happened to us; and overcoming our past, reshaping our present, and recreating hopes for our future is all a part of healing. In this inspiring Renewal Conversation, therapist and emotional regulation coach, Felicia Brown, shares her personal journey through loss, adoption, faith, and healing. Her story is a reminder that adversity doesn't have the final word - and that hope, restoration, and purpose can emerge from even the most painful chapters. As a therapist and coach, Felicia also discusses why so many high-achieving women unknowingly tie their worth to productivity. She also shares practical tools to help calm the nervous system, break free from the "never enough" cycle, and experience the kind of sustainable success that doesn't come at the cost of your well-being. In this conversation, we discuss: ☀️ How defining success ahead of time is a crucial step.☀️ The impact of trauma on not only our present life, but possibly on our faith too. ☀️ Really easy to implement techniques to reset your nervous system. This Bible verse continues to give Felicia strength through some of the toughest moments: favorite Bible verse is this: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light" ~ Matthew 11:28-30 Click PLAY to watch this episode now ▶️https://youtu.be/BeZ0svucAY8______________________________ Want to know more about our guest?🔗 Website: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/felicia-brown-streator-il/1461420IG: @ feliciabrownlpc 🌟 If this episode and channel blesses you, leave us a FIVE-STAR Review and DOWNLOAD the episodes you love.

Sometimes, the path to healing begins in places we never expected - where faith meets surrender and restoration quietly takes root. This week's guest on Renewal Conversations, Antoinette Berrafato, offers a story you won’t forget - moving from elite Army combat medic to fighting for her own life after a devastating injury that left her dependent on constant care. But what happened next is where it gets powerful: a promise to God sparked a radical journey of healing that would completely redefine her life. Through faith, nature, and intentional living, she discovered a new path to restoration - one that not only brought her from 20 medications to none, but now helps others reclaim their health and purpose. Her story is a reminder that even in the darkest moments, renewal is possible - and it might look different and more beautiful than you expect. In this conversation, we discuss: ☀️ A guiding question that may help one define their true self and align with God's purpose. ☀️ How faith is the pinnacle to a new path forward.☀️ How living spaces should support healing - like bringing the outdoors to the inside. ☀️ Many useful and helpful strategies for developing a healthy lifestyle! Antionette's favorite Bible verse is this: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." ~ 2 Corinthians 5:17 Click PLAY to listen to this episode now ▶️https://youtu.be/I5lixvrSt9s______________________________ Want to know more about our guest?🔗 Website: https://nnbl.blog/new-normal-big-llfe-blog/ 🎙️ Podcast: https://nnbl.blog/podcast/IG: @ nnblpodcastEbook: she has a FREE Ebook available with awesome tips, strategies, techniques and general information to help you build a resilient, healthy body!

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do isn't push harder - it's pause. A few moments of intentional awareness can help you step out of autopilot, quiet the noise, and remember that God is closer than you think. This encouraging episode explores how awareness creates space between what happens to you and how you respond. Drawing from both neuroscience and Scripture, you'll discover how a simple practice of noticing can help you break free from automatic reactions, and experience greater peace and deeper connection with God throughout your day. ✨ Things you will discover in this episode: Awareness is the beginning of transformation.What you notice, you can bring to God.What you bring to God can be transformed.Return to awareness.

In today's busy culture it is common for most of us to get pulled in a hundred different directions - so no wonder that we can feel drained at the end of the day. And then somewhere between the endless demands of our lives and the desire to serve God well, it's easy to lose sight of what truly deserves our attention. We might not be able to change our external reality at all times, but is there a way to change our experience from inside-out? Interestingly, neuroscience and Scripture point to the same life-changing truth: what we consistently focus on shapes the person we're becoming. In this episode you learn:☀️ How science is increasingly pointing to one foundational capacity that influences performance, emotional regulation, resilience, decision-making, relationships. ☀️ Simple shifts in one skill can make powerful changes in our mind and relationship with Christ.☀️ How small daily practices can really create lasting transformation.

I hope you are well! It is not uncommon for us to feel "off" or as if something just isn't right, as we go about our week. Many times this feeling is not a sign of failure - but a signal that something in our lives is out of alignment. In this week's Renewal Conversation with Dr. Nakia Edwards, Nurse Practitioner and Christian Content Creator, we talk about how she has learned to discern God’s direction, even when it meant making uncomfortable and unexpected choices. She also opens up about the quiet signs of burnout so many high-achieving women miss - and the simple, powerful rhythms that can help bring us back into alignment. It’s a gentle reminder that we don’t have to strive our way forward when really, all God is inviting us to do is - walk with Him. In this conversation, we discuss: ☀️ An integrated approach to care - heart, mind, body and soul. ☀️ Discerning your spiritual gifts with the support of others. ☀️ Evaluating ambitions and goals based on their "fruit".☀️ Signs of hidden burnout - like fatigue and brain fog.☀️ And the importance of seeking God's kingdom - FIRST (Matthew 6:33). And Nakia's go-to Bible verse is a powerful one that she relies on to stay in God's peaceful presence: "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."

As we go about our week, it is not uncommon to try to expand our capacity and lives while quietly running on depletion. But true capacity is not built through constant pressure, over-functioning, or pushing harder. God’s invitation is actually to enlarge our lives from the inside out - strengthening our psychological and spiritual growth, our roots, before expanding our reach. So the invitation today is to pause and live deeply anchored in Christ, allowing God to expand our abilities. ✨ Key TakeawaysSustainable capacity grows through renewal and a deep connection with GodGod expands what is rooted and alignedHigh performance without replenishment leads to depletion Click PLAY to listen to this episode ▶️ 🌟 If this episode and channel blesses you, leave us a FIVE-STAR Review and DOWNLOAD the episodes you love.

I hope you had a blessed week! Here is an insight to consider - What if your overwhelm isn’t a sign you’re doing something wrong - but a sign you’ve been carrying too much without the support you need? This week, I talk with Megan Bonynge, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and together, we explore the quiet reality of “survival mode” and how learning to discern between what truly matters and what can be released can change everything. Through the lens of faith-integrated mental health, we look at what it means to move from intellectual understanding of God to real, lived intimacy, and how that shift opens the door to support, clarity, and sustainable strength. In this conversation, we discuss how: ☀️ Not everything is equal - know your “glass” vs “plastic.”☀️ Asking for help is a part of healing.☀️ Knowing God vs. living with God - vulnerability bridges the gap. ☀️ Slow, simple rhythms move you out of survival mode. The Bible verse that Megan shares will give you strength to persevere: "For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently."

What if the freedom we’re longing for is not somewhere outside of us… but something Christ is already inviting us into? Many of us carry pressure constantly - so much that striving starts to feel normal. But inner freedom in Christ is possible: a quieter mind, a steadier heart, and a soul no longer driven by fear, urgency, or endless pressure. In this Centering Reset, we tap into how to return to a deeper sense of spaciousness, trust, and freedom with God - right in the middle of everyday life. ✨ Key Takeaways- Freedom in Christ begins internally.- We can lead without living under pressure.- Sustainable renewal comes through alignment with Christ, not striving.

Today, I want to share about a common phenomenon: many of us women carry a quiet pressure to do everything well, hold everything together, and never fall short. This typically stems from a perfectionistic part of us, which can often help us, but at times can lead us into tiredness, stress, and even a disconnect with God. I had the joy of interviewing Andrea Fortenberry, author, podcast host and Leadership Development Manager, and we explored the hidden cost of perfectionism and the gentle invitation to lead, live, and love from a place of grace instead. In this conversation, we discuss how: ☀️ Perfectionism often acts as a coping strategy, not a calling. ☀️ We can pursue excellence without carrying the weight of "being perfect".☀️ Rest is not weakness - it is modeled by Christ and rooted in wisdom. ☀️ Small daily rhythms of care can help you show up with greater patience, clarity, and love. The Bible verse that brings Andrea a sense of relief is this: "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." ~ Matthew 11:28-29 (NKJV) Come lay your burdens at his feet.

When your attention is scattered, your energy follows, and even meaningful work starts to feel draining. So, what if this week is not about expanding in every direction, but about returning to what God is already growing in you? In this Centering Reset podcast episode, you will hear more about how intentional focus drives peace, impact and altogether - purposeful living. It also invites you to release the distractions from your life, so that you can restore your nervous system. When we do these things, we create space to flourish - spiritually, personally, and professionally - like a tree planted by living water, bearing fruit in its season. Because God works through what is essential. Click PLAY to listen to this episode ▶️ 🌟 And if this episode and channel blesses you, leave us a FIVE-STAR Review and DOWNLOAD the episodes you love.

There are moments when you pause and wonder: Is this God leading me… or just my own thoughts trying to make sense of things? In a world full of noise, inner narratives, and pressure to figure everything out, discerning God’s presence requires more than effort - it calls for alignment, attention, and a deeper relationship. In this Renewal Conversation with Heather O’Brien, Healing Coach and Bible Teacher, we explore how to recognize the patterns of His voice, anchor in His character, and move from confusion into a steadier, quieter clarity. In this conversation, we discuss: ☀️ God's voice and how it aligns with His character - look for love, peace and steadiness☀️ How confusion often comes from noise - clarity grows in stillness and pattern. ☀️ Starting small - daily discernment builds confidence for bigger decisions. ☀️ Setting boundaries will protect your clarity more than pushing harder. Heather's favorite Bible verse invites each of us to connect with God on a very personal level: "Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting." ~ Psalm 139:23-24 Click PLAY to listen to this episode ▶️ 👉 https://youtu.be/YGBmcfNEQXg Want to know more about our guest?🔗 Website: https://heatherobrien.net/FREE Resource: https://heatherobrien.net/workshop You can love God, serve others, and stop living exhausted.→ Join the Wake Up To Your Soul Podcast community and start your mornings with peace before the pressure begins.https://www.teamforthesoul.com/wakeuptoyoursoul-begin NEXT STEPS:- Find out more about our programs here ➡️ https://www.teamforthesoul.com/ - Join 'Thriving In Christ' to stay up to date with resources right in your inbox, for Christian Women Professionals. ➡️https://www.teamforthesoul.com/thriving-in-christ-sign-up DISCLAIMERS:The views and opinions expressed by our guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Team For The Soul®.

You are carrying more than you were meant to carry. Not everything on your mind, your schedule, or your heart belongs to you in this season. What if letting go is not necessarily a loss, but the very way God is creating space for clarity, peace, and new life? The message in this week's episode of Centering Reset emphasizes that what’s often missing isn’t faith or discipline, but sustainable renewal. A renewal that comes through the process of pruning. And through simple exercises like identifying burdens, releasing one small thing, and practicing stillness, listeners are guided toward lasting spiritual and emotional clarity. Let's create space for growth and deeper alignment with God’s purpose.

If you find yourself unable to relax - even when everything looks “fine” on the outside, you’re not alone. Many of us women live in a body that hasn’t learned how to feel safe on a daily basis. On this topic, I had the joy to (re)interview Cynthia Damaskos, a Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach, and we shared insights about retraining our inner response patterns grounded in faith and practical wisdom, to open the door to real peace, energy, and joy. This episode will help you to lean into small, joy-filled moments - like slow mornings, creative hobbies, intentional pauses - and remind your soul (and your nervous system) that it’s okay to breathe. In this conversation, we discuss how: ☀️ Your body may still react to past stress, even when danger is gone. ☀️ Healing and renewal begin with a sense of safety. ☀️ Slowing down intentionally helps reset your internal rhythms. ☀️ Small daily practices can restore peace, clarity, and energy.☀️ Caring for yourself holistically allows you to serve others with strength and presence. Cynthia's favorite Bible verse reminds her to flourish and rejoice in God's goodness: "I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor - it is the gift of God." ~ Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 (NKJV) Click PLAY to listen to this episode ▶️ https://youtu.be/ueQHBaTcFJQ Want to know more about our guest?🔗 Website: https://www.filledwithless.com/ 🎤 Podcast: https://www.filledwithless.com/filled-with-less-podcast Back 2 Basics - 10 week Journey of Rediscovery --> https://www.filledwithless.com/b2b - Discount Code POPA for 10% OFF Ready to reclaim your JOY, PEACE & PURPOSE without burnout, as you lead and serve in Christ?

When you feel like there are endless decisions to make and the plate you carry is too full, all you want is a hint of clarity and direction. And finding the patience to wait can be difficult. This Centering Reset podcast episode is about learning how to be okay in the in-between - the seasons where you don’t have clear answers yet. Instead of chasing quick fixes, it invites you into something deeper: slowing down, reconnecting with God, and realizing that His presence matters more than having everything figured out. One of the biggest takeaways is that trust isn’t something you just feel - it’s a choice you keep making, especially when life feels uncertain. God is guiding you one step at a time.

At some point or another, deep loss and hardship have affected all of us. But even our deepest moments of grief do not define us, nor restrict us from discovering our True Self. Because in God's great goodness, healing is possible. In this week's Renewal Conversation, Victoria Volk, an advanced Grief Recovery® Specialist, shares her own experiences of childhood trauma and drifting from faith - and how each part of her journey led her to a full renewal of her faith in God. Her journey shows us how God can meet us right in the middle of our circumstances and lead us somewhere new. Through her work in grief recovery and holistic healing, she encourages women to listen to their bodies and partner with God through prayer and purposeful steps forward. In this conversation, we discuss: ☀️ The power of Grief Recovery Method®.☀️ How healing from grief is an active process that requires more than just time. ☀️ The times when transformation and healing are most successful. ☀️ How lasting renewal starts with rest and listening to yourself. One of Victoria's favorite Bible verses is one of the shortest ones, bringing Christ's compassion to the forefront: "Jesus wept." ~ John 11:35 Healing IS possible for all of us!

There are moments in life, vocation, and leadership when the decision in front of us feels heavier than anything we’ve carried before. We may be praying, thinking, and seeking clarity - and still feel the weight of uncertainty and pressure. Gethsemane reminds us that even Christ faced this kind of moment, not by avoiding it, but by entering fully into a relationship with the Father. In this episode, we explore how difficult decisions are not a sign that something is wrong, but often an invitation into deeper alignment with God. And how, even in the tension, you are not meant to walk through it alone. In this conversation, we discuss: ☀️ How the Gethsemane Prayer can be a powerful pathway to clarity.☀️ The importance of critical thinking - we all need to "do our homework".☀️ Reframing difficult situations as an invitation to grow deeper with Christ. ☀️ The impact renewal has on a strong inner life.

God is speaking… but in the middle of a full week, it’s easy to miss it. Not because He is silent, but because His guidance is often steady, quiet, and requires us to turn toward Him. If you’ve been carrying responsibility, uncertainty, or decisions without clear answers, this is your invitation to pause and reposition your heart. In this episode, we practice returning to trust, recognizing God’s guidance, and staying open to the ways He may already be leading you.

Many of us love God deeply, and yet there are moments when He feels distant, especially in seasons of pressure, grief, or uncertainty. The Resurrection reveals something surprising: what looked like absence was not the end, but the beginning of a deeper awareness of God’s presence. In this Renewal Conversation, we explore how faith moves from something we practice at certain times of the day to a relationship we live in every moment. Jody Hudson, a fundraising professional and philanthropist, shares different ways that she has been able to stay close to God - on good days, not-so good days, and really tough ones too. Jody’s journey through the loss of her daughter, heavy heartbreak, and rebuilding, reveals how God can bring renewal even in the midst of unimaginable pain. And how, even in the hardest seasons, God may be closer than you think. In this conversation, we discuss: ☀️ Moving beyond the practice of faith as an obligation. ☀️ The ways God speaks to us and allowing ourselves to hear His message.☀️ The fullness of spiritual growth and the role pruning plays. ☀️ Regularly feeding your subconscious with God's promises and using music to shift your energy. Jody finds hope and strength in this Bible verse: "Therefore, we do not lose heart, though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day." ~ 2 Corinthians 4:16 (NIV) Click PLAY to listen to this episode ▶️ 👉 https://youtu.be/eviGRSRyj7s Want to know more about our guest?🔗 Website: https://www.alexhudsonlymefoundation.org/Social Media: @jkutahudsonHer Book: https://www.amazon.com/My-Promise-Alex-Jody-Hudson/dp/B09RM8WP5N 👍 If this episode and channel blesses you, please give a THUMBS-UP, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE the message!

Many of us love God deeply - and yet there are seasons when He feels distant, unclear, or even absent. The Resurrection reveals something surprising: the empty tomb, which first felt like loss and confusion, became the very place where faith deepened. Psychologically, this reflects how secure attachment is not built only through closeness, but through moments of separation, uncertainty, and return. What feels like distance may actually be part of how trust is being formed. In this episode, we explore how to navigate these seasons with clarity, steadiness, and faith. In this episode, you learn about: ☀️ The empty tomb: why apparent absence can be the beginning of deeper faith.☀️ Attachment and trust: how “leaving and returning” strengthens your relationship with God."☀️ Training your subconscious to believe in the joy of the Resurrection!☀️ Practical integration: simple ways to move through uncertainty without losing your center.

Many Christian women leaders feel the weight of responsibility when things stall - wondering if they need to push harder, fix more, or carry the burden alone. But what if the breakthrough you’re seeking isn’t about striving, but about learning how to see clearly, ask better questions, and partner with God in what is already unfolding? In today’s Renewal Conversation with Leslie Nunn Reed, we explore a different way of leading - one that moves from pressure to clarity, from reaction to creation, and from isolation to co-creation with the Holy Spirit. Through the lens of “midwifing” ideas and initiatives, this conversation offers a grounded and hopeful path for those who feel stuck but sense there is more. If you’ve been carrying more than you were meant to carry, this may be the invitation your soul has been waiting for. In this conversation, we discuss: ☀️ Leslie's vocational journey and the role faith played.☀️ Vocation as a co-creative process with God and what it means to "move your feet".☀️ How to move out of survival mode and into a mode of creation!☀️ Resilient daily rhythms that include both lamenting and gratitude.☀️ "Strategy days" that encourage women to assess & reassess their faith, family, work, finances and fun! One of the Bible Verses that guides Leslie and gives her strength is this: "Be still and know that I am God." ~ Psalms 46:10 (NIV) Click PLAY to listen to this episode ▶️ 👉 https://youtu.be/hDV0KDdZNRI__________________________ Want to know more about our guest?🔗 https://www.linkedin.com/in/leslie-nunn-reed/ 🌟 And if this episode and channel blesses you, leave us a FIVE-STAR Review and DOWNLOAD the episodes you love.

In this month’s mini-series, we explore lessons from the Resurrection, bridging science, psychology, spiritual care, and Christian faith, to support you as you navigate work, family, and leadership. The reality that Christ rose from despair and death is a powerful reminder that growth and renewal are always possible, and that nothing can overcome God. Even in the most difficult seasons, there is a deeper movement unfolding. In psychology, this is often described as a growth mindset. While this can be a powerful lens, when taken to an extreme, it can quietly become pressure to fix everything on our own. But growth through adversity is not the only lesson. When we carry the weight of fixing everything for too long, it can lead to chronic stress and disconnection. Resurrection leadership invites a different way: to continue growing while allowing Christ to lead. Learning to let go and realign our thinking is not always easy, but it is possible, and it opens the way to deeper peace, clarity, and strength. In this episode, you learn: ☀️ The difference between fixed mindset and growth mindset. ☀️ The limitations growth mindset can place on Christian women. ☀️ How to integrate faith into moments of uncertainty and struggle. ☀️ A powerful reflection question to help you ground yourself in God. Step into the fullness of the cross, His death and Resurrection and see how you can live more deeply connected with God!

Do you have questions about your health or wonder about certain signs and symptoms, but are perhaps a bit nervous to ask your doctor? If so, you are not alone, and this episode will offer you some encouragement. Dr. Amy Loden Tiffany's journey is a refreshing reminder that God meets us right in the middle of our careers, challenges, and everyday decisions. From standing firm in her faith in medicine to walking through her own health scare, she’s now passionate about helping women feel seen, supported, and equipped to take back their health. In this episode, she speaks about burnout and subtle health shifts that can go unnoticed, and how small, intentional habits - like a simple walk after meals - can make a lasting difference. And as Dr. Amy encourages, when we delight ourselves in the Lord, even our own journey of health can become part of how we live, lead, and serve as women fully aligned with Him. In this conversation, we discuss: ☀️ How her journey of Christian faith shaped her medical path. ☀️ The significant gap in medical care for women, especially during the postpartum period.☀️ Key indicators of chronic stress and metabolic decline. ☀️ Helpful, practical exercises to help you improve your baseline of health.☀️ How to see yourself as a warrior or athlete of Christ and how it can impact your overall health! This beautiful Bible verse is what Dr. Amy turns to, to help her stay grounded: "Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart." ~ Psalms 37:4 (NKJV) Ready to tackle the questions you keep wondering about and take a step towards a healthier you?

  Many times we carry a quiet tension: we pray, we believe, and yet… sometimes God feels distant. Not absent in theory - but distant in experience. And over time, this can create confusion, self-doubt, or even a subtle fear that something is wrong with your faith. What if the feeling that God is distant is not about God at all… but about how the mind has learned to relate? This week, I am re-sharing an impactful video about faith in God and how it is influenced by one's earliest patterns of attachment. We explore how to recognize these inner patterns, stabilize your thoughts, and anchor your faith in something deeper than emotional fluctuations - so your relationship with God becomes more grounded, steady, and clear. In this episode, you learn: ☀️ How your mind creates emotional spirals through state-dependent memory - and how to interrupt them.☀️ Why you don’t have to believe every thought you think - especially in moments of doubt.☀️ A simple shift in prayer that helps stabilize your faith: gratitude before results.☀️ FIVE actionable steps to help you shift from subconscious projections to a state of peace with God. This episode is an invitation to acknowledge, increase awareness, and slowly shift your current state so that you can find peace and assurance in God's love for you!

Anxiety doesn’t always show up the way we expect, but there are often warning signs that will tell us when it is near. In this renewal conversation, Dr. Robyn Graham, an Anxiety Breakthrough Strategist and creator of the CCC method, unpacks how anxiety often stems from a dysregulated nervous system, quietly shaping behaviors like perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the constant pressure to stay in control. But there is a path forward - one that integrates neuroscience, practical rhythms, and deep spiritual truth. Through simple practices like gratitude, journaling, and time in God’s presence, we can begin to retrain the mind, calm the body, and experience the peace Christ promises - even in the midst of full, demanding lives. In this conversation, we discuss: ☀️ Anxiety-driven behaviors and what they look like. ☀️ Strategies to help you regulate your nervous system. ☀️ The differences between coaching and therapy and how each one might be helpful. ☀️ Scripture that will help you step away from anxious thoughts and affirm your true self as a child of God. One of the Bible Verses that helps Dr. Robyn navigate the challenges of life is this: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.." ~ Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV) Click PLAY to listen to this episode ▶️ 👉 https://youtu.be/WOqNWcy8xQ0 🌟 And if this episode and channel blesses you, leave us a FIVE-STAR Review and DOWNLOAD the episodes you love.

This week, I re-share an episode about talking with others about your faith, from my own personal experience. It is because of one experience that I turned back to God several decades ago, and we can use this model to help others be curious about God! The uniqueness of Christianity and the awe of who Christ is can develop a great deal of enthusiasm, thus making conversations somewhat intense. On the other hand, sharing our faith in different settings can be very challenging and perhaps uncomfortable. And here is a good place to start - faith begins not with certainty, but with openness. When we move from defending beliefs to exploring reality, we create space for honest questions, authentic encounters with God, and deeper conversations that invite others to discover truth for themselves. In this episode, you will hear more about:☀️ The difference between our beliefs and reality. ☀️ The different ways of sharing religious messages.☀️ How to properly acknowledge a person's perspective that is different than yours. ☀️ Responding to others through curiosity.

Have you ever felt guilt for dedicating time to your career or perhaps caring for others while things at home are not quite done? In this renewal conversation, Dr. Kayla Fresco, a physician and mom, shares about the pressure many Christian women feel as they juggle demanding careers, family life, and their faith. From the isolation of medical training (which I can attest to) to finding a role that honors both her calling and her priorities, her story is a moving reminder that vocation and balance often evolve through difficult seasons. She also shares many powerful practices that helped her navigate chronic stress and hidden burnout. Together, Dr. Kayla and I discuss, ☀️ Major life setbacks, including a personal diagnosis and a redirect in her professional career.☀️ How revisiting her values helped her to find a good balance between work, family and her practice of faith.☀️ Her use of "hallway prayers" to help her stay grounded {a great idea}! ☀️ And so many amazing tips to help one stay calm and grounded! The Bible Verse that helps Dr. Kayla stay centered is this: "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." ~ Matthew 6:21 And here is a disclaimer from Dr. Kayla to keep things in perspective: "The views expressed in this interview are those of Dr. Fresco's and do not represent the Department of Veterans Affairs or the US government."

I pray for you and hope that you all had a wonderful week!This week I am re-sharing this inspirational video to help you lead and give in Christ from a grounded presence. Many of us have learned to lead from the mind, push through with willpower, or rely heavily on the heart. While this can work for a season, over time it often leads to exhaustion, subtle disconnection from God, and feeling fragmented between work, family, and faith. So in this week's reflection, I share with you all 2 different paths that we can take that will help us lead from the soul, the place within us where Christ is already present and alive. In this episode, you will hear more about:☀️ Why the psychological methodology of mindfulness/ contemplation is effective.☀️ An important function of our internal world and how it impacts our soul and our being. ☀️ How being grounded in the present moment can multiply your efforts. ☀️ The {secret} goal we can achieve each day that will lead to greater success! Let's not be afraid of our internal spaces and who we are at the core; instead, let us find comfort in God's guidance through each valley of life! Listen now!

I pray you are well! This month, we revisit some important past episodes following the theme of FAITH, as we walk with God during this Lenten season.  In this episode, I share some important concepts about connecting with God and why He might sometimes feel distant, although He is everywhere, filling all things. We long to encounter God everywhere, not just in church, but in the middle of our meetings, decisions, and daily responsibilities. Yet the greatest obstacle is often striving - because while excellence has its place, intimacy with God requires connecting with God's energies. In this episode, we cover:☀️ When we clear our mental noise, emotional heaviness, and daily worries, we can shift our “antenna” to align with His frequency.☀️ How this simple shift opens up our true self, our soul, making more space for the fruits of the Spirit.☀️ Some practical steps to connect with God today in faith. Here is a short episode that will invite you to nurture the fruits of the spirit that are given to us daily through co-creation and a deep connection with Christ. TUNE IN NOW!

If you are already burned out - or close to it - you may feel a quiet urgency to “get back to yourself,” to recover, to feel alive again. At the same time, the idea of doing one more thing can feel overwhelming. leaving many women to ask, “Is real restoration even possible for me?” Psychology and medicine offer an important truth: burnout recovery does not begin with effort - it begins with regulation. The nervous system must re-learn safety. Healing happens not by pushing forward, but by rebuilding capacity slowly, wisely, and with support. In this episode of the Burnout Series, we will cover:☀️ The Psychology behind "pushing through" and why it doesn't serve you well. ☀️ The importance of resetting your body's nervous system every day, but especially after burnout.☀️ The steps of my Daily Renewal Blueprint that will help you find renewal and connection through the body, mind, heart and soul. ☀️ 2 Very powerful reflection questions that will help you create change today. Burnout does not get the final word. Renewal is possible - and it unfolds through co-creation, not pressure.

What if burnout wasn’t only about your workload - but the hidden beliefs quietly driving you? In this powerful episode of Thriving in Christ, I unpack the subtle mindsets that accelerate chronic stress, reminding us that while responsibilities are real, the “lens” we view them through can either drain us or lead us toward peace. Beliefs about responsibility, excellence, calling, and what it means to be a faithful Christian, along with what it means to take care of ourselves - are what many Christian women professionals carry - quietly. This is often because we want to do our very best for God. And through time, we begin to experience this immense pressure internally, which is when our inner world becomes just as exhausting as our outer responsibilities. In this episode, we will cover:☀️ Review Mark 12:30-31 as a baseline for our belief system. ☀️ 5 mindsets that block us from thriving.☀️ The importance of managing our emotions and caring for our whole selves.☀️ 2 powerful reflection questions that you can answer today to help you shift your mindset. Let's reframe self-care as biblical stewardship - an invitation to love God, serve others, and care for yourself in a way that sustains true, Christ-centered thriving!

Many women often tell me, “I don’t feel like myself anymore.” And, you may notice you’re more irritable, more tired, less patient, or strangely unable to slow down - even when you desperately want to. Prayer feels harder. Rest feels elusive. And you might quietly wonder why faith alone doesn’t seem to be fixing this. What science helps us see is this: burnout is not just emotional or spiritual - it is physiological. Chronic stress literally reshapes how your brain and nervous system function. When your system has been in survival mode for too long, stillness can feel unsafe, and rest can feel inaccessible. In this episode, we will cover:☀️ What chronic stress does to the brain and the nervous system. ☀️ The impact of chronic stress on our bodies, including additional risks. ☀️ The science behind why it's hard to rest, even though you are tired. ☀️ How our understanding of this is essential for healing.☀️ Powerful scripture that will remind you to let go of the stress and put your trust in God. When you realize what your system has been enduring, self-blame gives way to wisdom, and restoration becomes possible again.

There is a quiet moment for many of us when we realize that although we are functioning, delivering, and showing up, yet something inside is missing, feels empty, flat, or tired in a way rest alone doesn’t fix. You may wonder, “What is happening to me?” and even start doubting yourself or your faith. When this happens, we need to consider another possibility: that we might be experiencing burnout. This is important because if we can identify it early, we can prevent it. Burnout is often misunderstood as weakness, lack of resilience, or poor boundaries. But burnout is not a failure of faith or character - it is a predictable response to chronic and unmanaged stress, especially in people who care deeply, carry responsibility, and keep going long after their bodies signal depletion. In this episode, we will cover:☀️ Defining burnout and its key markers.☀️ What misalignment looks like and how it impacts our true self. ☀️ What the Psalms say about restoration.☀️ Two powerful reflection questions for you to start making changes today to prevent burnout. Restoration is a core value, but first, to establish it as such, you must have clarity and understanding! Listen now!

In this episode of Thriving in Christ Show, I sit down with chiropractor and functional health practitioner, Dr. Brook Sheehan, for a powerful conversation about the body - an area many Christian women unintentionally neglect while serving, leading, and striving. Dr. Sheehan invites us to shift from “pushing through” to partnering with God’s design, reminding us that our bodies are not meant to be hacked, but honored, as we learn to be still, listen, and trust the wisdom God placed within us. Together, Dr. Brook and I discuss:☀️ Her journey of faith, love and pain that steered her back towards Christ.☀️ The importance of honoring your body as a way to prevent burnout. ☀️ The pillars of health she teaches.☀️ Tips for listening to your body and trying to understand what it is telling you... like sneezing!☀️ The non-negotiable practices that help keep her grounded throughout the day.

Most likely, you are deeply familiar with doing hard things. At work, at home, in your church. And you are probably rewarded to push through exhaustion, complexity, and responsibility more times than you can count. That perseverance has served you well in leadership and service. But when it comes to daily renewal habits - prayer, rest, Scripture, or simply stopping work at a humane hour - grit alone begins to fail. It can work for a while, and then it backfires as you become increasingly tired. What once felt noble now feels draining. And this is how your body quietly learns that spiritual practices or renewal practices equal strain, not refuge, which then can signal chronic stress. In this episode, you will hear about:☀️ How God works through ease and reward, not pressure. And Yes, rewarding yourself is ok!☀️ The reality behind fatigue and what it really means.☀️ How psychology and Scripture agree about the purpose of good habits.☀️ How our beliefs of these practices plus our physical space can impact our success of renewal in action. The issue isn’t lack of devotion. It’s the cost of carrying good habits without support. Listen now for more.

It is very common to put pressure on our identity as professional women. And yet sometimes, we are unsure or confused. Well, after a 16-year nursing career - and seasons of profound loss and professional upheaval - Elaine Lankford, realized that God was gently realigning her heart from identity in career to identity in Christ, showing her that He never wastes anything. On a mission trip to Nicaragua, Elaine heard a new call: to “raise up God’s daughters,” becoming a catalyst who empowers women to birth their God-given dreams, much like Elizabeth did for Mary in Luke, chapter one. Through deep time in Scripture, honoring her God-designed rhythms, and faith-centered coaching, Elaine now helps women step boldly into renewal and leadership through She Steps Forward and She Steps Forward International. Together, Elaine and I talk about:☀️ Her amazing connection with God through a small voice, which guided her through major life steps!☀️ John Maxwell and the book that has encouraged her work in entrepreneurship!☀️ Her encouragement and tips for daily renewal!☀️ Our unique relationship with Christ - just like the 12 disciples!☀️ The deep relationship between Elizabeth and Mary in Luke 1:45 that includes mentorship. The Bible verse that guides Elaine and her work is this: "Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her.” ~ Luke 1:45 (NIV) Elaine's journey encourages us not to shrink back, but to honor how God has uniquely wired each one of us, and to walk out our calling - TOGETHER.

So much of your day is probably spent responding to emails, making decisions, managing crises, and people’s needs. By the time you reach the end of the day to care for your own habits or spiritual practices, your decision-making energy is often depleted, even if your desire for God remains strong. And you might even tell yourself, “Next time I’ll pause and take care of myself.” But in the moment, stress takes the lead, and you react in ways that don’t reflect what you actually believe or value - this is based on how you were conditioned. This then leaves you thinking - "Why didn’t I respond differently? I know better than that.” The problem isn’t your intention. It’s that you have to make decisions when your capacity is already low. In this episode, we explore how peace is lost, not because you lack faith or willpower, but because your brain and nervous system need support before pressure hits. In this episode, you will hear about:☀️ Why our brains give way under pressure. ☀️ How concepts from psychology can teach us how to "pre-load" wise responses as a way to prevent the pressure.☀️ What scripture says about "committing our ways to the Lord."☀️ A tangible strategy for developing a plan that works! It really works! Ready to release the pressure and find ways to respond from your "wise brain"? Listen now!

 As Christian women professionals, your days are busy. And building in routines and healthy habits can be a challenge. In this Renewal Conversation, I spoke with Erica Jones, creator and founder of Elevays, who shares how God gently led her from seasons of uncertainty into a calling that aligns faith, family, and meaningful work. Her story reminds us that God often reveals our purpose through small, faithful steps rather than sudden leaps. And as a wellness strategist and woman in the holistic health-related field, Erica encourages women to embrace simple, sustainable rhythms for holistic wellness, beginning with time in God’s Word and building consistency through small habits. Together, Erica and I talk about:☀️ The vocational journey that led her to finding her husband and the calling she is fulfilling. ☀️ Her consistent focus on God through prayer and what it felt like for her to...wait. ☀️ The importance of keeping simple healthy routines. ☀️ Her personal tips for feeding her soul and body throughout the day. Lots of great, tangible nuggets! And this is the Bible verse that feeds her soul and helps keep her grounded in her faith: "The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside the still waters." ~ Psalm 23:1-2 In this episode, 247: Trusting God With Your Career and Health | A Christian Woman’s Journey to Purpose, the message you will hear is freeing: true transformation comes not from striving harder, but from walking closely with God and stewarding our energy wisely.

Many Christian women professionals and servant leaders live with a quiet, constant tension → “I know what would help me… but I don’t have the bandwidth.” You long for prayer rhythms, movement, rest, or gentler mornings - yet even good intentions feel heavy. This is not because you don’t care. It’s because your nervous system is already carrying too much. When life is full of responsibility, pressure, and decision-making, anything that feels “extra”, even holy things, can feel impossible to sustain. In this episode, I will help you reframe change through the lens of compassion and physiology. We’ll explore how God works through small, doable steps that calm the body, rebuild trust, and slowly restore your capacity for renewal - without overwhelm or self-judgment. In this episode, you will learn about:☀️ How our ways of thinking can block our ability to renew and transform. ☀️ The psychology behind creating small steps and why this is important. ☀️ Consistency vs. intensity.☀️ The influence of Scripture on how and why we make small steps. ☀️ How practice and prayer go hand in hand. Working through small beginnings by taking simple steps can lead to change! Are you ready? Let's start today.

As Christian professional women, we work really hard to build our careers. Then, after some time, something tells us to switch careers or pivot in our direction of life. This could be to stay at home with the kids, to care for a loved one, or a completely different opportunity. This is not easy and can not only bring about confusion, but struggle and pain too. This week, I interviewed Kim Patten, known as the "pivot mom", who wrestled with career-related questions about herself, realizing that shift and change were possible through her faith in God. Kim reflects on a courageous career pause to become a stay-at-home mother after working for a S&P 500 company. Her story - and her book Pivot - encourages women to prioritize faith, listen for God’s guidance, and embrace regenerative rhythms that support both leadership and wholehearted living. In the Renewal Conversation, you will hear about: ☀️ How prayer played a role in Kim's career change and throughout her life. ☀️ Her decision to trust in God despite having deep fears.☀️ More about her book and how to make a smooth transition from one opportunity to the next. ☀️ The importance of building a relationship with God and how it impacts your daily life and rhythm. ☀️ Ideas and strategies that help her stay grounded and focused on God. Kim's favorite Bible verse is this: "Fear not, for I am with you. Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." ~ Isaiah 41:10 Click below to be encouraged about times of change and how faith in God can lead us to bright, beautiful and unexpected things.

As we step into January, I want to pause with you - not to add more goals, but to ask some deeper questions: - How can you implement successfully rhythms and habits that sustain you so that you can keep on going? - How can you stay on course, not just in your work, family and church life, but in your personal renewal and spiritual life? - And how can you keep your Renewal Intentions set at the beginning of the year? Most likely, you don’t lack discipline and you don’t lack faith. And yet it is likely that many habits meant to renew you, like prayer, rest, movement, and reflection, have felt harder to sustain than they should. Today we are starting a 4-part Friday miniseries on Rhythm and Habits to help you gently shift that pattern - not by asking you to try harder, but by helping you align more wisely with how God designed your mind, body, and soul. In this episode, you will learn about:☀️ Why many renewal practices fail.☀️ How the brain reinforces habits through identity filters.☀️ The key process to achieve sustainable transformation.☀️ How God invites us to renew and co-create change, with the Holy Spirit, from the inside out.
