A HOLY MESS | Nervous System, Somatic, Regret, Exhausted, Burnout, Boundaries, Emotional Healing, Christian Mindset, Recovery

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.

He and his wife also teach a marriage seminar that is powerful and amazing. If you want more info or to get in touch with Jim—818-787-1242

Hello, my friends!

Today's episode is ONE of my favorites EVER! It's with Therapist Jim Beebe—and if you've been around the Podcast for a bit, you know Jim is one of our favorite guests and one of my favorite humans on the planet! 

Jim has been a therapist for 40 years and is an expert on humans and their emotional and spiritual experiences. Jim has a beautiful family and has been married to his wife Jane for 35 years, and they have two grown kids. 

Ok, so today is one of those episodes you will probably want to listen to over and over again—the way Jim describes our struggles with our thoughts or, as he likes to say it, "our shitty committee" or harsh voice in our head is so helpful. Jim also talks about why it's so hard to change our thoughts. If you struggle with your thought life—THIS is the episode for you!

I know many of us shame ourselves because we still wrestle with our thoughts and feelings at times—and we sometimes are so hard on ourselves because it's so difficult to change.

I think Jim's perspective and wisdom will bless you! 

This is a 2 part episode—so be sure to check back for Episode 77 tomorrow! 

I love you guys—I am here for you—please send prayer requests and let me know how I can support you in prayer!

Hello, my friend! 

Have you been affected by toxic beliefs within some Christian circles? I know we all probably have at some point or another. I hope this episode encourages you. 

This episode was prompted by a conversation I had with my son Zac. Someone mentioned to him and some friends that if they follow Jesus closely they won't struggle in life... There's so much to unpack here--but I want you to know you don't have to repent for being human. Or repent for human struggles or tendencies like wrestling through depression, anxiety, fear, or sadness. There are enough barriers in our walk with Jesus on this planet. Rest assured—those fundamental human struggles, He is not holding them against you. I promise. 

I'm fired up today. 'Chill Dani' will return in episode 76. Maybe. Haha. Actually, I've never been labeled 'chill,' but you get what I mean. 

🎉🥳Doors are closing soon! Jump into the next round of The Feel Better Journey with me as your guide. It's a 6-week program designed to help you FEEL BETTER and find your worth, especially if you're struggling with feelings of unworthiness, regret, or hard on yourself.

I'd love to journey with you!
