    Episode 206 - Spiritual… According to Which Kingdom? | Lies We Believe Series

    What does it really mean to be “spiritual”? In today’s culture, spirituality can mean meditation, manifestation, energy work, mindfulness, or simply being open and expansive. But not everything labeled spiritual comes from the same source. In this episode of The Vibrant Living Podcast, I continue the Lies We Believe series by exploring a foundational truth: there are not infinite spiritual paths. There are two kingdoms. The Kingdom of Light operates through a relationship with God, surrender, and divine authority. The counterfeit kingdom imitates what God created but operates through technique, control, and human will as ultimate authority. This conversation is not about fear. It is about clarity. When you understand source, authority, and purpose, you regain spiritual discernment and alignment. In This Episode, You’ll Hear: • Why the word “spiritual” means different things depending on who is using it • How deception often appears enlightened rather than dark • The difference between relationship-based faith and technique-based spirituality • Three diagnostic questions to help you discern source and authority • Why Jesus being “the way” is not about restriction, but protection A Question to Reflect On When did your definition of “spiritual” begin to shift? And what disappointment or experience influenced that shift? Discernment begins with honesty. About the Series This episode is part of the ongoing Lies We Believe series, where I address subtle spiritual assumptions shaping how we live, lead, and relate to God. Each teaching is designed to bring clarity, strengthen spiritual authority, and re-anchor identity in Christ.

    Episode 205-Stronger After 40: Protect Your Bones, Fix Your Posture, and Move Without Pain with Cynthia Croissant

    In this episode of the Vibrant Living Podcast, I sit down with certified personal trainer and posture and mobility specialist Cynthia Croissant to talk about what fitness really looks like in midlife. If you’ve ever thought:👉 “Exercise just causes me pain.”👉 “Why am I not getting results even though I’m trying?”👉 “I can’t do what those 20-year-olds on Instagram are doing…”This conversation is for you. Cynthia shares how her mother’s health journey and her own diagnosis of osteopenia led her to make different choices. Instead of following mainstream workout programs designed for young bodies, she learned how to train smarter, not harder. You’ll learn:💡Why protecting bone density is critical in midlife💡The real reason many women get injured when they start lifting weights💡How posture and alignment affect your results💡Why breathing matters more than you think💡The “older car” analogy that will change how you approach exercise💡How to warm up your body properly before increasing intensity💡Why simple, consistent movement is more powerful than extreme workoutsCynthia reminds us that fitness does not have to look like Instagram. It can be simple. Sustainable. Aligned with your body. You are not broken. You may just need better alignment.

    Episode 204 - The Question Behind the Question: Messenger vs Manager

    There’s a question underneath all the questions you’ve been asking. It’s not about strategy. It’s not about what’s next. And it’s not about trying harder.  It sounds more like: Why can’t I shake this? Why does this keep returning? Why does something in me feel stirred, but unfinished? In this episode, I explore what I call the “operating system shift” from manager to messenger. Many faith-driven leaders have unknowingly inherited a leadership model built on managing outcomes, carrying pressure, and holding everything together. It feels responsible. It feels faithful. It even feels holy. But it’s exhausting. There is another way. Messenger leadership is not passive. It is not careless. It is not disengaged. It is rooted in presence. Managers carry outcomes. Messengers carry what God has entrusted to them and trust Him with what happens next. You’ll hear: • Why persistent stirrings are often divine highlighting • The difference between stewarding presence and managing outcomes • What Moses at the Red Sea teaches us about leadership • Why this shift cannot be made alone • How one conversation can change everything This episode speaks to hidden leaders, exhausted leaders, transitioning leaders, and positioning leaders who sense there is more. Not more activity. More alignment. If leadership has felt heavier than it should, this conversation may name what you haven’t yet been able to articulate. You were never designed to carry outcomes. You were designed to carry presence. If this resonates, sit with it. Pray about it. And if you sense the nudge to respond instead of manage, the next step is available through a Wisdom Consultation. Leadership does not have to cost your peace. Connect with Donna Wisdom Consultations and resources are available at: https://www.ivibrantliving.com/

    Episode 202 - The Gap Between Knowing and Being, Why Your Breakthrough Didn’t Stick

    You had the breakthrough. You felt the shift. You left that moment with God absolutely certain this time would be different.And then a few weeks later, you realize you’re right back in the same pattern. In this episode, I unpack why revelation alone doesn’t create lasting transformation. The problem isn’t your discipline. It isn’t weak faith. And it isn’t that you didn’t want it badly enough. The real issue is the belief running underneath the breakthrough. You can know the truth and still operate from the lie. Because knowing what is true and being wired to live from what is true are two completely different things. This episode explores the gap between knowing and being, and why that gap is where most transformation quietly dies. In This Episode • Why your nervous system pulls you back to familiar patterns, even when you’re praying for change • How subconscious beliefs override spiritual revelation • The difference between information and activation • What Romans 12 really means about renewing your mind • Why spiritual breakthroughs often don’t “stick.” If This Resonates Wisdom Calls are designed to reveal the belief you don’t know you’re operating from and close the gap between revelation and embodiment. Because together, partnering with God, we can experience lasting, foundational transformation. Book your Wisdom Call here Connect with Donna Website LinkedIn

    Episode 201-Awareness to Empowerment: Anne Plaisance on Art, Domestic Violence, and Reclaiming Your Voice

    Internationally renowned painter Anne Plaisance joins me for a powerful and honest conversation about art, domestic violence, manipulation tactics, and reclaiming your voice.Anne has exhibited in over 100 shows worldwide. Her work has been featured in The Boston Globe, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle Decoration, and Artscope. She has received distinctions and grants from the Cambridge Arts Council and Massachusetts Cultural Council, and her work is collected internationally in London, Milan, Paris, Warsaw, Dubai, Kyoto, and Boston. But this conversation is not about prestige. It is about awareness. What began as a desire to build a tiny house for the homeless became something far deeper. Through her work with a domestic violence shelter in Cambridge, Anne discovered the hidden realities of emotional, psychological, spiritual, and financial abuse. And then she realized something life-altering. That story was also hers. In this episode, Anne shares: • How Wonder Women Now was born • Why domestic violence is often invisible • The 20 to 40 manipulation tactics used in abusive dynamics • Her powerful perfume series represents gaslighting, love bombing, triangulation, projection, and more • What it took to leave an abusive relationship • Why education and awareness are the first steps toward change • How art can become a sword for truth and repair. Anne says, “My brush is my sword.” And today, she also uses her voice. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt confused in a relationship. For anyone who has quietly blamed themselves. For anyone who needs language for what they are experiencing. It can happen to anyone. Awareness restores clarity. Clarity restores choice. 🔗 Connect with Anne: Website: https://www.anneplaisance.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anneplaisance/ 🎁 Free Digital Guide: Resilient Spirits: Becoming the Woman They Couldn’t Ignore Stories of Marilyn Monroe, Ella Fitzgerald, Maya Angelou, and Yayoi Kusama https://bit.ly/AnnePlaisance

    Episode 200-You Can’t Heal Behaviors Without Healing Beliefs

    You can change habits. You can set boundaries. You can implement better systems. But if the belief underneath hasn’t shifted, the pattern will return. In this episode of The Vibrant Living Podcast, I unpack why so many strong, capable leaders stay stuck in cycles of exhaustion, overworking, people-pleasing, or performance, even after doing “all the right things. ”This is not a strategy problem. It’s a belief problem. Inside this episode: • The hidden reason exhaustion keeps resurfacing • Why coping is not the same as freedom • How beliefs about worth, rest, and belonging shape your leadership • The difference between behavior modification and identity transformation • What Kingdom Spiritual Intelligence changes that strategy cannot. If something in your life looks successful on paper but feels misaligned internally, this episode will help you see what may be operating underneath the surface. Transformation does not begin with doing more. It begins with seeing clearly. If you’re ready to explore what belief may be shaping your current reality, I offer Wisdom Consultations, a focused, Spirit-led conversation designed to bring clarity and reveal the root.  Learn more at: ivibrantliving.com  Thank you for listening.

    Episode #199 - What’s Your Operating System?

    Most people assume the exhaustion they feel is just part of leadership, responsibility, or success. But what if it isn’t? In this episode, I invite you into a quiet, discerning conversation about the operating system you’re actually living from. Not the one you believe in theory, but the one that shows up when pressure hits, decisions pile up, and rest always feels postponed. I share a personal moment when I recognized my own hidden operating system, shaped in rooms where I felt I had to earn my seat, and the biblical insight that reframed everything. Drawing from Exodus 17, I unpack why Moses wasn’t performing for God, he was positioning himself under the right authority, and how that distinction changes the way we lead, decide, and live. This episode is for those who are faithful, capable, and still quietly tired. For those who sense God has more, but feel like something underneath the surface is misaligned. You don’t need more strategy. You don’t need to try harder. You may simply need to upgrade what’s running underneath it all. In This Episode, We ExploreWhy many people are running on an operating system they never consciously choseThe three common operating systems that quietly drive exhaustionWhy vision, faith, and strategy alone don’t produce restWhat Moses’ raised staff reveals about alignment versus performanceHow alignment shifts can happen while life is still movingUpcoming Experiential Gathering Does Success Have to Be Hard? March 10 at 7 PM Eastern This is a complimentary, experiential gathering where we explore what operating system you’ve been leading from and what changes when alignment replaces effort. This is not a training or a webinar, it’s a space to discern, reflect, and realign. 🔗 Register here Talk This Through?
