  • Cynthia thinks that this may be her favorite interview with Dr. Ioana so far. They go deep into beliefs as one of the seven levels of freedom. Dr. Ioana shares about her atheist background in communist Romania and their commonly held belief about Christians. Just because you believe something… it doesn’t mean it’s so. She made the decision to believe there is a God, and He let her know right away that it was true. What are you believing right now that is not true but is affecting your day, your life, your happiness… your salvation?

    Dr. Ioana is the co-founder of the Team For The Soul TM. Team for The SoulTM supports passionate leaders, healers, educators and caregivers on their life and soul journey to achieve the highest potential while doing what they love toward the betterment of humanity.

    Dr. Ioana is not only a physician and life coach, but also an educator, workshop presenter, speaker and program developer. As a life coach Dr. Ioana walks alongside her clients to bring a steadfast hope that change is possible, no matter how difficult. With dedication, skill, professionalism, and warmth, she brings a calm, safe, compassionate and grounded presence, and creates a nurturing relationship in which every person feels heard, seen, understood and can pursue change toward achieving their highest potential in life.

  • God created our bodies to thrive on certain foods, and scripture tells us what these foods are. We have been given a manual so to speak on how to be good stewards… the problem is, our food supply has been tampered with, and is very different from what it was in the old testament. Today join Cynthia as she speaks with Maureen Diaz from God’s Good Table. A former homesteader with 9 children, Maureen has great knowledge and resources that we can all use.

    After watching family struggle with health issues and dealing with her own, Maureen knew there were answers beyond the advice conventional medicine gave. She set out on a journey to learn and study traditional healing and cooking from every book she could get her hands on and every holistic practitioner she could find. She has been sharing what she has learned with her family, friends, and community for over 30 years! Maureen has a passion for teaching, cooking, kayaking, showing immense love for all the people who join her at the kitchen table, and being an amazing wife and mother to 9 children.

  • Cynthia is so happy to introduce you to Corey Hatfield. Recently she read an article Corey wrote on finding joy in chaos… beauty in suffering… and knew she had to meet her. Her story is one of inspiration and her advice and knowledge of biblical truth is sound. We know you are going to enjoy this episode!

    Corey Hatfield is the mother of five nearly grown children (ages fifteen to twenty-one) and has been married to Arin, her college sweetheart, for almost twenty-four years. Together, they live with their youngest daughter in a small mountain town in southern Colorado alongside their two dogs, two cats, six barn cats, five chickens, one lamb, and an occasionally visiting buck, whom the family has affectionately dubbed "Roy." On their eighty-acre homestead, she finds herself continuously and simultaneously loved and challenged amidst the wildness of nature. In her free time, she enjoys reading memoirs and books on holistic and healthy living and Orthodox theology. She recently finished writing her first book, tentatively entitled "Shattered Wheat: A Memoir of Motherhood, Autism, Trauma, and Beauty" (currently unpublished), and her blog posts can be found at www.coreyreaganhatfield.blog. Much of her writing is fueled by her experiences in nature as well as the joy and chaos that has emerged while raising a violently Autistic son. Corey remains wholeheartedly committed to seeking beauty in brokenness and hopes her writing might help others do the same.

  • Cynthia enjoys another conversation with a fellow flyfishing guest, but we promise that they didn’t talk about fishing this time! Social media is the topic today with Fr. Paul Jannakos. Why do we as Orthodox Christians need to guard ourselves and put boundaries in place when it comes to the internet in general? Is there a place for social media in our lives? As Fr. Paul says, “...from an Orthodox standpoint, we cannot help but to recognize how dangerously demeaning and dehumanizing our “internet use” has grown. We hope you enjoy this frank discussion and the tips that are shared.

    Fr. Paul Jannakos was born in E. St. Louis Ill. In September of 1976 he began his studies as a pre-theological student at St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary in NY, also taking courses at Concordia College/NY in Bronxville. In 1980 he graduated from Concordia College with a B.A. in Music. He graduated in 1983 with a M. Div. degree from St. Vladimir’s and was married to Michelle (Julylia) Jannakos in Cleveland Ohio, the year before, in 1982. Fr. Paul was ordained to the holy priesthood on March 3rd, 1985 by Bishop Boris in Chicago at Holy Trinity Orthodox Cathedral. He is currently the Rector of St. Luke Orthodox Church in Palos Hills and the Chancellor of the Chicago diocese of the OCA. Fr. Paul is also a licensed Psychotherapist with Ethos Counseling in Oak Brook IL. He loves to compose music, garden, and fly-fish.

James has some great ideas, and he also has some wonderful self care practices to learn from!

    The Very Reverend Father James Guirguis is the pastor of St. Raphael Antiochian Orthodox Church in Fuquay (Few-kway) North Carolina, a suburb of Raleigh. He has been a priest for 15 years. He is married to Khouria Jennifer Guirguis and they have 4 children. Father is also the author of "Ask for the Ancient Paths" published by Ancient Faith.

As the world with it’s technology and noise persists in pulling us away from stillness, we need to remember Psalm 46. God is our refuge and strength - He dwells in His city, does marvelous things, and says, be still and know that I am God. Why do we need to be still?

  • Cynthia had so much fun talking with Robin in the past that she asked her to come back on. Truly… this is not an infomercial for hiring a coach… but we may be a little partial! We share what we’ve learned from our clients when it comes to an all or nothing approach to working with us and how it translates to those who are trying to reach their goals by themselves. Perfectionism is always the enemy! Only One is perfect, and grace is crucial.

  • Cynthia brings Ashley Belanger on today to talk about her experience with Lyme, knowing that this topic could very well help many others who experience “unexplained symptoms.” After recently finding out she has Lyme and Bartonella, a whole new world has opened up about the disparate symptoms going on for years that she had no idea were related. How do you get to root causes? What are some common diagnoses out there where bacterial and viral infections should be tested for… if only to be ruled out as root cause? (Think MS, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Parkinsons, Rheumatoid Arthritis) We answer these questions today!

    Don’t forget to run over to www.mybeautifullent.com to learn more and get signed up. Growing in Christ and My Beautiful Lent… what could be better than doing them together?

    Ashley Belanger’s health journey led her to leave teaching to become a certified Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP). As a root cause practitioner, she likes to look deeper at what could be causing symptoms or what caused a diagnosis. A diagnosis is a label. It does not tell you all the factors that caused you to get sick. She is passionate about helping others take control of their health and learning to advocate for themselves. During 6 years of teaching, she became very ill. It started as lingering symptoms that doctors were unable to explain, telling her it was only stress or that it was in her head. At one point, she didn’t know her own name or birth date.

    It took 6 years of actively seeking answers to get a diagnosis of Lyme disease and many other coinfections. During that time of seeking answers, she began to look at her toxin burden load & how that impacted her body. She later had two different Lyme Literate Doctors tell her that doing so kept her from being completely bedridden and in a wheelchair. Read more about her Lyme journey here.
