Hi friends,
Today we have Therapist Jim Beebe with us and we're talking about his perspective and what healing ACTUALLY looks like at times for most of us.
Not the Instagram highlight reel. Not the "I've got it all figured out now" testimonies.
The real, messy, one-day-at-a-time journey that most of us are living. I hope today blesses you so much!
HERE'S THE HOLY TRUTH BOMB:You're not doing recovery wrong because you're still struggling. You're not doing Christianity wrong because anxiety still visits at 3am. You're not doing life wrong because you haven't "fixed" yourself yet.
IN THIS EPISODE WE'RE DIVING INTO:- Why "solving yourself" isn't the goal (and was never meant to be)- The beautiful paradox of being okay with not being okay- What happens when we stop shaming ourselves for being human- Why Paul admitted "I do that which I should not do" (spoiler: because he was human too)- How to embrace your journey without expecting perfection- What it means to love yourself back to life
TRUTH MOMENTS THAT MIGHT MAKE YOU CRY (IN A GOOD WAY):- "If things outside of us could fix us – enough money, the right relationship, the perfect church – it would have happened by now"- "Even if you never change, you're still insurmountably loved by God"- "I'm not a puzzle to be solved, but an experience to be lived"- "The journey itself is the destination"
FOR ANYONE WHO:- Wakes up some days feeling like they're back at square one- Measures themselves against the fruit of the Spirit and comes up feeling short- Is tired of trying to fix themselves into worthiness- Needs permission to be human while also being Christian
THIS IS YOUR INVITATION:To step into a grace that's big enough for your humanity. To find community in the journey. To know that your struggles don't disqualify you from God's love – they qualify you for His grace.
Remember, even Paul had a thorn in his side. Even Jesus was a man of sorrows. Your humanity isn't a hindrance to your holiness – it's the very place where grace meets you.
Love you,
Dani

Hello you awesome humans!
We're diving deep into something not many are talking about: the real difference between shame and guilt.
You know that feeling when you mess up (like forgetting to mail thank you cards for four months... yes, I'm calling myself out) and suddenly you're spiraling into "I always do this" and "I'm not enough"?
That's not just guilt, friend.
That's shame talking.
And there's a bigggg difference.
In this episode, we're unpacking:• Why feeling unworthy isn't because you're unworthy (it's because shame's got a grip on you)• one holy truth about guilt vs shame• What King David teaches us about shame. His bones were literally wasting away...• How to show yourself some sacred compassion when shame tries to steal your peace
If you're exhausted from being your own harshest critic, this one's for you.
Let's break free from shame together, shall we?
Remember: You get to be human AND holy at the same time. And nothing - absolutely nothing - can separate you from God's love. Not even those unmailed thank you cards. 🤍
Grateful YOU'RE here!
Much love,
Dani

Today, I'm talking a little bit about forgiveness and how I've come to realize that true forgiveness is a healing journey, not a one-time decision.
And what a process it can be... if you're struggling with forgiveness, hang in there!

Hi friend!👋 Today's episode is short and based on the famous recovery quote, "Don't quit before the miracle happens."
I first heard this quote in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous, and I LOVE it.
It has made even the most difficult days brighter for me.
I encourage you to find quotes like this or use this one to remind yourself on hard days, things will get better.
One of my other favorite quotes is, "This too shall pass... it may pass like a kidney stone, but it will pass!"--laughter is also the best medicine when you're struggling. :)
Grateful you're here. Much love,❤️Dani

Hey friend!
Life got you feeling like Mike Tyson just gave you a right hook? Yeah, we've all been there.
Remember, your holy mess is exactly where God does His best work.
So, if you're feeling kicked in the teeth by life, tune in, and let's rediscover those dreams together. Because guess what? Jesus is NOT done with you yet!
I share a bit about dropping our daughter off at college for the first time, and wow, has it been a doozy season adjusting for me? Change is never fun! But it can be purposeful. Our time at her college reminded me how hopeful youth can be. It reminded me how, after living through different aspects of life, we can become cynical and even lose hope.
So, that was the inspiration for today's episode. I hope it blesses you!
🔑 Key Takeaways:
Your sensitivity is a superpower, not a weaknessWorking through your pain can lead to your purposeIt's never too late to dream again📖 Scripture Reference: Romans 15:13 (Check it out – it's a game-changer!)

So, I had this weird morning where I wore my shirt backward (don't ask 😅). But you know what? It got me thinking about how we sometimes feel in life - like everything's just... off.
So today, I'm briefly talking about:
Feeling stuck or out of place (been there!)Getting through the tough stuff without losing hopeWhy we seriously need our people for this journeyDitching the victim mindset (it's hard, but worth it!)Remembering God's got our back, even when it doesn't feel like itI also mention a song by Lauren Daigle and that old "Footprints" prayer - because sometimes we need the reminder, right?
Bottom line: You're not alone in this mess. There's hope, I promise. Let's keep trudging through together!
So much love to you!
Dani :)
P.S. I'm cheering you on...
P.P.S. If this hits home and blesses you, please share it because sharing is caring! 😉

Not many of us would choose our struggles or the paths of hardship we have to walk out in this life.
So when you meet someone walking through hell, and they say, "I wouldn't trade or give up all I've gained walking this hard road." --I think it's 100% worth listening to what they say!
And that's our guest today. My dear friend Deb Schultz is with us, and her journey has been inspiring and challenging. She's walking through stage 4 ovarian cancer, and it's been a difficult and long road. And somehow, through it all, she's finding joy and purpose within her suffering. Her resilient spirit and attitude are contagious.
I hope her words of wisdom and encouragement bless you! And she's hilarious! Enjoy this conversation and getting to know Deb.
Glad you're here,
Dani

159. One Of The Real Reasons You're Feeling Distant From God--Bridging the Gap: Reconnecting with God Despite Past Hurts
One of the Real Reasons You're Feeling Distant from God—Bridging the Gap: Reconnecting with God Despite Past Hurts
Feeling distant from God? You're not alone, friend. In this episode, we explore how our earthly relationships, especially with our parents, can impact our connection with our Heavenly Father. But don't worry—there's hope!
## Key Points:- The surprising link between past hurts and our relationship with God- A simple, one-word prayer to ground you in triggering moments- Learning to accept God's acceptance (it takes courage!)
## Quotable:"Faith is the courage to accept acceptance." - Paul Tillich
## Try This:When you're feeling triggered or distant, take a deep breath and simply say, "Father." Notice how it shifts your perspective. You may notice some resistance or distance from God by even saying "Father"--whatever comes up, don't judge yourself--just notice what comes up. That's the first step in getting to the deeper root of what may be causing some deeper issues in your life.
Remember, you're more loved than you can imagine and less broken than you feel. Keep trudging through your beautiful mess—God's right there with you.
Song: Check out CC Winans' "The Goodness of God" for an extra dose of encouragement!Scripture mentioned: Psalm 103
Enjoy.
Much love,Dani

Episode 158. Turning Grief into Purpose: The Heart Behind the non-profit 17 Strong with Guest Holly Teixeira
Hi friends!
I'm so excited to share today's episode with you for many reasons.
First and foremost, I know deep in my bones that hearing someone's story and how they've gotten through their darkest hours helps birth more courage and perseverance in us as we navigate our own struggles.
If you're in the middle of a tough season, I hope today's guest, Holly Teixeira, encourages you.
I've admired her from afar for a long time--our whole community watched them walk through the unimaginable (losing a child to cancer)
Holly's sharing the journey of her son Ryan's battle with cancer and the beautiful legacy he left behind.
She's also sharing the story behind the creation of 17 Strong, a nonprofit dedicated to providing "victory trips" for young adult cancer survivors.
Sometimes, when walking 'through it,' the days can be long, but remember your story matters.
You matter!
Holly reminds us that there's beauty to be found even in the darkest of times.
17 Strong was Ryan's idea that came about in a hospital--the story is incredible how it all came about, and now his family is living out for him.
Key Takeaways:• Grief and purpose can coexist, even in our darkest moments• The importance of taking life one day at a time when facing overwhelming challenges• How helping others can bring healing and meaning to our own pain• The power of choosing joy, even when we don't feel it• Finding strength in faith and community during times of suffering
No matter what you are walking through, I hope this episode reminds you that you are not alone in your struggles.
Quote to Remember:"I choose joy every day. I don't feel that joy, but I have to choose it." - Holly Teixeira

So grateful you're here.Be blessed.
Much love and grace to you,Dani

Episode 157: Finding Relief and Inner Peace - Your Christian Guide to Inside-Out Living--when external situations, circumstances, and people are taking your peace away.
Hey there, beautiful souls!
Let's get real for a second – are you feeling like life's got you in a chokehold sometimes?
Maybe you're crushing it on the outside, but inside? That's a whole other story. Well, grab a cup of coffee (or tea; my favorite is black tea), and let's dive into some truth-telling.
In this episode, we're talking a bit about that inner peace we're all desperately searching for.
We will chat a bit about how to live from the inside out, inspired by Psalm 16.
Because let's face it, we've all got our struggles with people, situations, or circumstances that are driving us nutty at times.
We're breaking down:- How to find that God-given peace when the world's going crazy- Practical, no-BS ways to grow spiritually (even when you feel like you're spiraling)- Why 'self-care' isn't selfish – it's Biblical!- How to stop letting circumstances, or other people, or your own crazy thoughts run the show...(this one takes some time, so be patient with yourself!)
This isn't your grandma's Bible study (love you, Grandma! Heck, I'm a grandma and love it!)
But we're talking real life, real struggles, and real faith.
Whether you're a spiritual heavyweight and have been walking this faith journey for longer than you can remember or just dipping your toes in, I'm glad you're here.
Let's figure out this whole 'peace that passes understanding' thing together, one day at a time.
Remember, you are loved, you are worthy, and you've got this.
Enjoy the episode. And my greesy hair and headband if you check it out on YouTube.

Quote: Ezra Taft Benson "The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of slums. Christ takes the slums out of people, and then they take themselves out of the slums. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature."
I love this quote; there's just so much in this--Drop the mic, Ezra, amen.
Verse: Psalm 16:9a "I'm happy from the inside out"

Hey friend! This episode is a deep dive into the messy, beautiful reality of our faith journey.
I struggled for sooo long with judgment and condemnation. It's sometimes easier to live there, rather than to embrace Grace... such a paradox I know!
Today, we have Jim Beebe with us--he's a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 40 years of ministry wisdom.
We're talking about how to embrace the struggle without getting bogged down in shame and judgment.
Some of us struggle with at times - generational sadness, anxiety, and fear of not measuring up.
But here's the truth and kicker: Jesus still loves you in your struggles. You're not doing this Christianity thing wrong just because you're wrestling with doubt or feeling lost or hurting.
We dive into:
Why it's okay to struggle (spoiler: even Jesus and Paul did)How to shift from self-condemnation to self-compassionThe problem with "white-knuckling" your faithFinding community that can handle your honest questionsEmbracing your journey, limp and allLet's get real about faith, grace, and what it truly means to walk with Jesus.
We're in this together, fam. Let's dive in!
Enoy!
Dani

Ever feel like some part of your life's spinning out of control?
You're not alone!
In this episode, we dive into those frustrating moments when our best efforts just aren't cutting it.
Using a hilarious (and slightly embarrassing) story about my dog Coco, who has taught me so much about surrender and life through my dog training struggles--we explore how to find some peace when life gets messy.
Today I'm talking about:
Why sometimes 'it's' hard just because it's hard (and that's okay!)How to adjust without compromising who you are!The art of holy surrender (hint: it's not giving up!)Letting go of shame when others make poor choices--I could talk about this subject for days...Whether you're dealing with a stubborn pup or life's bigger challenges, I hope this episode helps you and offers a fresh perspective on finding God's grace in tough situations.
And I hope, at the very least, you laugh about my ridiculous dog struggles. May the Lord bless you and help you get through your uncontrollable moments with faith and resilience. Amen.
Grateful,
Dani

Life can often feel like a wild river, full of unexpected twists and turns.
Last week, we went on a whitewater rafting adventure. I'm not super adventurous anymore, so it was definitely a stretch.
I'm more hotelsy, than outdoorsy.
And I willingly signed up for this! But I learned so much!
The first thing I learned was-- I will neverrrrr do level 4 rapids again! Seriously, it was a one-and-done experience. haha.
You'll hear about it in today's episode.
However, the experience had a profound impact on my life and taught me so much about navigating life's challenges.
Here's a couple of stories I share about in today's episode:
Why the people in your "boat" matter more than you thinkHow apparent setbacks might be saving you from more painful troublesSometimes, it's hard to remember that, just like on the river, life's turbulent waters aren't a curse—they're an opportunity for growth and transformation.
If you have the right people by your side and a willingness to lean into the journey, you can navigate any rapid path that comes your way. I mean it...
Sending you so much love,
Dani

If you memorize one prayer all year, let it be this one!
This simple yet profound prayer has saved me from myself and my struggles more than I can count.
I hope this short episode blesses you!
You are not alone, and I'm cheering for you.
The Serenity Prayer:"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, The courage to change the things I can, And the wisdom to know the difference. Amen."

Today, we're diving deep into something that's been heavy on my heart—those complicated, often painful relationships in our lives.
You know, the ones I'm talking about—the ones that ache deep within you and keep you up at night. Our nearest and dearest struggles either with our spouses, children, parents, siblings, churches or even colleagues- can leave us feeling lost, overwhelmed, and desperate for answers or even an escape hatch at times.
I've been there, friends. Oh, have I been there. And I know how crippling it can feel.
But here's the beautiful truth I've discovered on this journey: the relationship we need to heal most is often with ourselves.
I know it might sound counterintuitive and maybe even a little selfish, but stick with me here because this is where the magic happens.
In this episode, we're exploring what I like to call the "magic sauce" of relational healing:
- Why healing your relationship with yourself is the key to unlocking clarity and wisdom with how to deal with all other relationships- How our relationship with ourselves profoundly impacts every area of our lives- A special 7-day mirror exercise that might feel uncomfortable at first, but could change everything- The spiritual perspective on self-love and soul care and its critical importance in our walk with God
Takeaway quote: "As we heal our relationship with ourselves, I'm telling you, other relationships around us are healed. And as we find boundaries, we find clarity."

Song: I am not alone by Kari Job iTunes // YouTube // Spotify
Verse: Romans 8:38-39 "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord"
Glad you're here,
Dani
