Do you ever feel stuck, emotionally drained, or like you’re constantly striving but never “enough”? You’re in the right place! Welcome to A HOLY MESS Podcast (ranked in the top 1% globally🎉), a podcast designed for you if you’re ready to break free and heal from self-doubt, burnout, and overgiving—so you can step into confidence, peace, God’s grace and purpose with clarity. Each week, I share biblical wisdom, mindset shifts, and real conversations to help you: ✨ Overcome self-doubt and fear with faith-based confidence. ✨ Let go of striving and perfectionism and embrace God’s grace. ✨ Set healthy boundaries and stop people-pleasing without guilt. ✨ Heal from burnout, shame, regret, and emotional exhaustion. ✨ Renew your mind with God’s truth and step into your purpose. There’s no magic wand to find more freedom, but there are practical tools that can help. Even as Christians who sometimes feel unworthy and shame about our past, anxious about our future, or feel like we are not enough. There is so much more for us! There’s hope, joy, peace, fun, purpose, and a reason that YOU are on this planet. If you’re ready to rediscover your worth, reconnect with God, and finally feel at peace, you’re in the right place. We can have fun and laugh while trudging through our messes; this stuff doesn’t need to be dry and boring. I can’t wait to journey with you.

Hi friend!
I know if we're struggling, we can feel like we are an island at times doing this life all on our own. It can be exhausting!
In today's episode, I talk about a conversation with a dear friend a few weeks ago about the different types of people we all need in our lives and how to find them for ourselves.
This perspective has helped me so much the last few weeks--and I hope it encourages and helps you too!
🎉ANNOUNCEMENT!🎉 👉🏽 3 spots are available in a new women's group launching in 2 weeks! "The Feel Better Journey."
Email hello@danisumner.com for more info, or schedule a virtual coffee with Dani here!
Much love,
Dani

Hi friends!
This is a short encouraging episode. I hope it brings you some peace, especially if you struggle with feeling all the 'big feelings' at times!--You are not alone!
I'm learning that sometimes my feelings are guides and indicators of what's going on deep inside me. And sometimes, I feel all "the feelings" because maybe I ate something that didn't agree with my body or I didn't get enough sleep.
We're complex beings, but we were created this way--so I'm learning to honor even the things that drive me nutty about myself. ;) I hope you are too. :)
Here's a poem a friend just shared with me, two verses, and a song that's encouraging me this week.
Poem: "The Guest House" by Rumi
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
Meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes.
Because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
Verses: Psalm 139:14 “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.”
Song: “Head To The Heart” by United Pursuit: YouTube // Spotify // iTunes

I'm' so glad you are here today! Therapist Jim Beebe is with us, and it's always a gift to hear and learn from Jim and his amazing experience and wisdom from working with people and Christian leaders for over 40 years.
Jim interviewed me for this episode, and I loved our conversation--he has such a way of pulling out great nuggets of wisdom that are so encouraging. If you're struggling or hard on yourself for your struggles, I hope this episode blesses you!
Jim is one of our show's go-to experts and guides! Jim has been a therapist for over 40 years and has worked with a gazillion people! Ok, maybe not a gazillion but you know what I mean.

He and his wife also teach a marriage seminar that is a powerful experience right outside of Los Angeles, California. If you want more info or to get in touch with Jim— 818-787-1242

Hi friends!
Today's episode will be the shortest episode ever! You're welcome. haha.
It's called "The Hindsight 20/20 Rule," and I want to write a book about it, eventually.
For several years now, I have had this 'rule' and mantra, and I can't even tell you how many times it's helped me in such a huge way. I hope it helps you too!
