   5. Ep 09 | What is Stress Really - Your Nervous System (1 of 2) (Part 6)

   Hey Beautiful Lady,Today I’m talking about your nervous system - the part your body where your stress comes from.In case you didn’t know this - your stress lives in your body, not your mind. Specifically, it lives in your nervous system, which is the communication line between your brain and body. When you’re stressed, your brain says “danger”, but it’s your nervous system that does the work of shifting you into the state of stress, and keeping you there.Knowing this can bring so much clarity of

   8. Ep 06 | What is Stress Really - Fight, Flight, Freeze (Part 4)

   Hey Beautiful Lady,Today I’m going deeper into the Bad Stress state known as Fight, Flight, Freeze.This state is the most severe end the Stress Spectrum, and is what we often refer to as anxiety, a panic or anxiety attack, trauma trigger or PTSD.

   9. Ep 05 | What is Stress Really - Bad Stress (Part 3)

   Hey Beautiful Lady,Today I’m diving into the Bad Stress end of the stress spectrum, to help you understand what’s happening inside of your brain and body when you’re not ok. Bad stress is the stress you’re used to talking about - your stress, overwhelm, anxiety, panic, anxiety/panic attacks, trauma triggers or maybe even PTSD. It’s the survival mode God created you with to keep you alive in this world. So it’s not actually bad, it’s just often distorted by satan to destroy you, and keep you stuc

    10. Ep B3 | God’s Holidays - Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles (Booths))

    Hey Beautiful Lady,Today I’m talking about God’s third holiday: Sukkot (also known as the Feast of Tabernacles (or Booths)).When God took His people out of slavery and through the desert, they had nothing. No food, no water, no shelter, no mental health care to deal with the trauma of slavery. They were used to be owned - someone else in control of everything in their lives. The trauma of that abuse would have led their hearts to worship and bow down to the evil around them.It’s hard to relate t

    11. Ep 04 | What is Stress Really - Good Stress (Part 2)

    Hey Beautiful Lady,Today I’m going deeper into the stress spectrum to help you understand what’s happening inside of you when you’re not ok beginning with Good Stress.Good stress is something most people haven’t heard of, but it’s the BEST kind of stress you can experience in this life. Good stress is the “God stress” as I like to say, because it’s the stress that God designed you to live and thrive in daily. From deep restorative rest, all the way through movement and exercise, Good Stress is t

    12. Ep B2 | God’s Holidays - Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement)

    Hey Beautiful Lady,Today I’m talking about God’s second holiday: Yom Kippur (also known as the Day of Atonement).This is a holiday of humility and surrender to God through repentance of your sins. God’s first holiday (Rosh Hashanah) got you to turn your heart back to Him, so that you would be ready for today: the Day of Atonement.This is the day you admit your sins to God, because they’re the reason you’re separated from Him. All of that pain you’re carrying has built walls around your heart to

    Hey Beautiful Lady,Today I’m introducing you to a brand new bonus series I’m doing this year called “God’s Holidays”.When we look at scripture, we find 7 holidays that God asked His people to celebrate.

    Hey Beautiful Lady,Today I’m sharing my testimony of mental health and Jesus. It’s a tough story of abuse, trauma, hating and blaming God, running away from and rebelling from God, almost dying multiple times at the hands of satan, and running back into the arms of Jesus.I hope you’ll join me for this journey of how Jesus saved my life physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. And is healing the broken parts of me now through His unwavering grace and love.* This one is definitely not su
