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 friends!
Life can be so triggering and stressful! I have this motto I try to live by: "72 degrees and sunny." It means that no matter what is happening around me, I want to be "72 degrees and sunny" inside. It's my way of helping me regulate my emotions, especially when I'm triggered. And hello, that's daily! I don't want to be "104 degrees", raging with anxiety, OR "32 degrees", and struggling with despair. You get my drift!
Today I'm talking about three simple tools and two important questions I ask myself that help get me back to my 72 degrees and sunny. I hope it helps you! It helps me 50/50! ;) But that's better than nothing, right?!

Here are the prayers I mentioned today as well:
The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
The courage to change the things I can.
And the = to know the difference.
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, who is in heaven, Hallowed be your name. Your Kingdom come. Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil, for yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
Huge blessings and much love,
Dani

Hi friend!
We all know how difficult it is to care for ourselves at times. But it's such an important practice. And it's biblical. Yay for awesome biblical mandates! I share a quick story and some encouragement today that I found in an old card.
I hope this short episode blesses you. Here's a link to the book I mentioned A New Kind Of Normal by Carol Kent
So much love,
Dani

Hi friends!
In today's episode, I talk about learning to "self-regulate" and learning to care for ourselves even when life hits us hard or our emotions seem to control us.
You're not alone if you are a sensitive person! Join the club! ;) I'm learning to find the gift of my emotions and how to care for myself even when they seem overwhelming.
The book I mentioned today:
A New Kind Of Normal by Carol Kent

Hi friends!
Do you struggle with 'limiting beliefs' or a harsh narrative in your head? Haha, I know, I know, who doesn't?
But for soooo long in my life, I believed and took to heart every little and big thing I thought. And frankly, my inner critic was so fierce and hurtful towards me that I'd like to call her a bad word, but I won't. For the last several years, I've been working on having a better relationship with my thought life, and I will talk more about this in future episodes. But I hope these three quick tips help you if you also struggle.
I've been listening to and working with an old coach of mine, and she suggested 1 question to ask ourselves when we are wrestling with those thoughts that are beating us up or holding us back, and it truly has helped me start to overcome my limiting beliefs and negative self-talk. It felt so helpful; I really just wanted to share it with you as quickly as I could. Sharing is caring. ;) I'll explain more in the episode.
I want you to know you are not alone.
So much love!
Dani :)

Hi friends!
I just gave a quick update on the podcast and life in today's episode!
I'm so grateful for this community.🤗 I hope these episodes encourage you and bring some light into any darkness you may be wrestling through, and the Lord knows we all have our struggles.
We honestly can't fight our 'demons' alone, and I hope this podcast empowers and encourages you on your journey.
I mentioned Psalm 31:7 "I will be glad and rejoice in your love, for you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul."—literally, there's nothing more comforting than knowing we aren't alone in our anguish. This verse has brought me so much comfort lately.
Song of the week:
Mercy by Elevation Worship featuring Chris Brown // iTunes // Spotify // YouTube
Quotes I mentioned:
"Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." Mark Twain
"There are a terrible lot of lies going on in the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true."-Winston Churchill.
Laughter is some of the best medicine.
