Embrace Relief with Chelsea Winterholler

What if life were entirely in your control? Would you choose the path without pain, without struggle, without the tears?In this episode of Embrace Relief, Chelsea reflects on a tender, honest realization that came through music and hard moments: if it were up to us, we’d often choose the easy road.

Let His Light in. And remember—you’re not alone on this path.To find out more, follow Chelsea on instagram @winterhollercoaching

We all have desired outcomes for our children’s futures, for our own futures...heck, we even have desired outcomes for the weekend ahead. What we don’t realize is we actually just have a desired feeling that we want to experience.We don’t want to fight with our kids this weekend because we desire to feel peace, not frustration.We don’t want to go to the party we were invited to because we want to feel rejuvenated from our interactions with others, not depleted.We don’t want to dig into the worries we have about our kids’ futures because we would prefer to feel carefree, rather than stressed.We seek feelings. It is a natural human instinct-and I’m so glad that we have it. To find out more, follow Chelsea on instagram @winterhollercoaching

Happy valentines day! Let’s talk about fear...bet you thought I was going to say love, didn’t you!?!? We will get there:)I want you to think about your parenting. Maybe think of the last thing you said to your child. Was it based in fear, or love?When I come from fear, my kid KNOWS. When I come from love, my kid KNOWS.Love emits trust and confidence in the relationship.Fear emits worry and concern and guilt-before anything even happens. Fear tells our children that they aren’t safe. Fear tells them that if they make a mistake, I’m the last one they should turn to. Fear is a con artist. It sneaks in and laces our really good intentions with dark clouds and unintended words.What emotion do you want to operate from?To find out more, follow Chelsea on instagram @winterhollercoaching

True relief lives inside of you, and we just have to quiet our minds for long enough to receive the relief that is being offered to us. I believe it is being offered from God as a gift to my body.

It can be simple. To find out more, follow Chelsea on instagram @winterhollercoaching

I want to give you one thought that can help you in ANY situation. This, right now, this life that you are living is a dream come true.The home I live in, the people I am surrounded by, the food I eat, the medications available to me, the vacation ahead, the school my children attend, the job my husband has, the fact that we have computers and beds and cars. This is all a dream come true. You can’t just say it over and over in your head. Well you can, but it won’t land the same. However, saying it with a deep feeling of gratitude will create an entirely different experience.To find out more, follow Chelsea on instagram @winterhollercoaching

Through my tears today I share with you something dear to my heart. I know that as a mother, sometimes we feel all alone in our struggles. We feel that we are all alone in helping our kids fight their battles. We feel that we are all alone in advocating for ourselves and our children. Our brains offer us this thought, "I am all alone in this" more often than we can count. I'm here to tell you that this just isn't true. Please join me as I share exactly how I know that YOU, my friend, are NEVER alone. To find out more, follow Chelsea on instagram @winterhollercoaching

Life is Hard. Guess what? I agree. These things are hard. Being challenged in any way is hard.Telling yourself “this is hard” just doesn’t help. “I wish this was easier” is a similar thought. You are wishing yourself out of the situation you are in. I get it-there are many trials in my life that I wanted to WISH away. But-you know as well as I do, that just doesn’t work. We are humans, so we go through hard things in our lives. That is just a fact of life.Sometimes, when we are in a really good mindset, that is enough. Just to accept the FACt that we go through hard things simply because we are human.Other times, those hard things that we and our kids experience just seem to crush us. Let's talk about how to move from "This is Hard" to a more helpful mindset where we can actually succeed.To find out more, follow Chelsea on instagram @winterhollercoaching

When you tell your brain “I don’t know”....how do you feel?Do you feel indifferent?Do you feel motivated?Do you feel helpless?Do you feel confused?When you allow your brain to rule your world , when you allow your brain to make decisions all on its own, it will almost always tell you I don’t know how to do this. This is when you get the opportunity to answer your brain. I love answering my brain, if you’ve listen to me much, you know that I talk to my brain a lot. I almost treat my brain like it is a totally different entity than me. When my brain tells me“I don’t know how to ask my mama about her feelings“ I answer my brain. Now-I don’t mean that You need have to answer to your question right away. What I mean is that…….I might say “that’s interesting, you have definitely asked your mom her feelings before“. This is when I just simply start asking my brain some questions.Step one: “What are my options?” Step two: choose one.Too simple? Try it.Listen to episode 105 to hear more!
