    187: A Biblical Reset for Distracted Believers: Set your Mind on Things Above

    If you’ve been feeling spiritually distracted, overwhelmed by daily life, or quietly drifting from eternal perspective, this episode is a gentle reset.   We return to Colossians 3:2 — “Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth” — and explore what that actually means in real life. We talk about why the resurrection still matters, why Christianity is rooted in history, and why the central question has always been whether Jesus rose from the dead. Because if He did, everything changes.   It’s easy to move through our routines — work, kids, business, church — and slowly begin living as though what we see is all there is. But Scripture reminds us that our lives are a mist. Brief. Fragile. Eternal perspective changes how we handle grief, ambition, success, and even our health. We are here to love God and love others — we are not here to chase what is temporary.    This episode is for the Christian woman who wants clarity and peace in a noisy world. It’s a reminder to lift your eyes, steady your heart, and anchor your thinking in what lasts.   If you’d like simple, faith-centered steps to support your energy without overwhelm, download the free More Energy Starter Guide at: herholistichealing.com/free   This content is for informational purposes only and is not meant to be medical advice.

    186: Is Caffeine Fueling Your Life or Masking Your Exhaustion?

    Coffee is comforting. Familiar. For many of us, it’s the unofficial start button for the day. But have you ever paused to wonder whether your daily caffeine habit is truly supporting your health—or simply helping you push through exhaustion? In this episode, we take an honest, balanced look at caffeine from a Christian, whole-person perspective. We’ll talk about the potential benefits, the possible downsides, and how caffeine can affect sleep, stress, mood, and even our sense of freedom. This conversation is for Christian women who want to care for their bodies with wisdom and discernment. The goal isn’t to shame coffee drinkers or create fear—it’s to help you slow down, think clearly, and consider what’s best for your body and season of life. What Caffeine Really Is Caffeine is often treated as harmless and normal, but it’s technically considered a stimulant that affects the nervous system. It naturally occurs in coffee beans, tea leaves, and cacao, and it’s also manufactured and added to many processed foods and drinks. Most of us think of caffeine as something found only in coffee or soda. But it also shows up in places like: Energy drinks Pain relievers Chocolate and candy Certain gums and mints Even some personal care products In the United States, the majority of adults consume caffeine every day, often without giving it much thought. The Helpful Side of Caffeine Caffeine isn’t automatically “bad.” Used in reasonable amounts, it can offer real benefits, such as: Feeling more awake and alert Sharper reaction time Short-term mental focus Extra stamina for certain tasks Occasional support with pain relief For some women, a cup of coffee is simply enjoyable and fits well into a healthy lifestyle. The concern isn’t caffeine itself. The concern is how easily it can become a crutch instead of a choice. The Possible Downsides What gives you energy in the morning can also interfere with your body in ways you might not notice right away. Regular caffeine use has been linked with things like: Trouble falling or staying asleep Higher stress and anxiety levels Changes in heart rate and blood pressure Feeling wired but tired Increased irritability Negative effects for sensitive individuals One of the biggest traps is the cycle many women get stuck in: Not enough sleep → more caffeine → worse sleep → even more caffeine. Over time, caffeine can become both the thing you rely on for energy and the very thing stealing your rest. Dependence Is More Common Than We Realize Most people don’t think of caffeine as something you can be dependent on. But many experience real physical effects when they stop using it. Common symptoms after cutting back include: Headaches Low energy Difficulty focusing Mood changes Feeling achy or “off” Because these feelings are uncomfortable, it’s easy to reach for more coffee just to avoid them. That’s how a simple habit can slowly turn into something we feel controlled by. A Faith-Centered Lens on Coffee and Caffeine As Christian women, we’re invited to live with freedom and wisdom in every area of life—including our daily habits. Scripture offers this gentle reminder: “All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful… I will not be dominated by anything.” – 1 Corinthians 6:12 Coffee may be permissible. Caffeine may be socially normal. But a better question is: Is it truly helpful for you right now? If you feel like you can’t function without caffeine, or you’re using it to ignore exhaustion instead of listening to your body, that may be worth bringing before the Lord. Your body was designed for rhythms of rest and restoration. Stimulants can’t replace what real sleep and peace provide. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 – An honest conversation about America’s favorite legal drug 01:00 – Understanding what caffeine actually is 02:00 – Surprising places caffeine can be found 03:20 – How caffeine can create a sleep cycle problem 03:45 – Possible benefits of moderate caffeine use 04:10 – Potential effects on the heart and stress levels 05:00 – Special concerns for pregnancy, breastfeeding, and children 07:20 – How caffeine withdrawal can show up 09:40 – Why caffeine often masks deeper fatigue 10:15 – A biblical perspective on being mastered by habits 11:10 – Ways to evaluate your own caffeine use Key Takeaways Caffeine can be useful—but it can also quietly interfere with sleep and stress. Many people rely on caffeine more than they realize. More coffee isn’t always the answer to low energy. Each woman’s body responds differently—discernment matters. Faith invites us to care for our bodies with intention, not autopilot. Instead of asking, “Am I allowed to drink coffee?” consider asking: “Is this helping me thrive—or just helping me keep going when I need rest?” If this episode made you pause and think about your own habits—whether with caffeine, sleep, stress, or energy—you don’t have to sort it all out alone. I offer one-on-one Health Clarity Sessions where we slow everything down and talk through what’s really going on in your life and your body. These sessions are gentle, practical, and focused on helping you feel calm and confident about your next steps. No pressure. No complicated plans. Just a peaceful space to get clear.

    185: Goji Berries and Why Healing Is More Than A Superfood

    In this episode, we’re talking about goji berries—what they are, where they come from, and why they’ve earned their reputation as a nutrient-dense “superfood.” You’ll learn the practical health benefits of goji berries, including how they support energy, immunity, eye health, and overall wellness. But we’re also zooming out to remember an important truth: real healing is about more than finding the perfect food or remedy. As Christian women, our health journey involves body, mind, and spirit working together—not chasing the next trendy solution. If you’ve felt overwhelmed by all the health advice out there, this episode will help you stay grounded, balanced, and faith-centered in your approach to wellness. What You’ll Learn What goji berries actually are The key nutrients and health benefits they offer Simple, practical ways to include them in your diet Why no single food can “fix” everything How to keep a biblical, whole-person perspective on healing Key Takeaways Goji berries can be a healthy, nourishing addition to your routine. Superfoods are helpful—but they are not magic solutions. True healing happens when we care for our whole selves: physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Wisdom and discernment matter more than chasing every new health trend. Small, consistent choices rooted in faith bring more peace than quick fixes. If you’re listening and feeling overwhelmed by health decisions right now, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I offer one-on-one sessions where I help you slow everything down, find peace, and get clear on your next steps.

    184: Why Do We Trust Synthetic Drugs More Than God’s Creation?

    A Faith-Centered Look at Natural Remedies, Discernment, and Common Sense If God designed plants to support and nourish the body, why do so many of us feel more comfortable trusting synthetic drugs than the things He created? In this episode, we gently explore that question and talk through simple, grounded ways to approach plant-based remedies without fear or overwhelm. This conversation is for Christian women who want clarity, peace, and faith-centered health wisdom — especially if you’re tired of researching endlessly, second-guessing yourself, or feeling responsible for figuring everything out alone. My goal is to offer calm guidance rooted in faith, common sense, and respect for the body God created. Why Natural Remedies Can Feel So Overwhelming Many women don’t avoid natural remedies because they don’t care about their health. They avoid them because the information feels scattered, extreme, or contradictory. When something is unfamiliar, it can quickly feel unsafe — even when it comes from God’s creation. Confusion often comes from trying to do too much at once, hearing strong opinions online, or feeling pressure to “get it right.” Plants as Part of God’s Design Scripture reminds us that God is our healer, and creation reflects His wisdom. Plants have been used for nourishment, care, and support for generations. Natural remedies don’t replace faith, nor do they require fear. Like anything else, they call for wisdom, discernment, and personal responsibility. A Closer Look at Commonly Used Plants In this episode, I share several plants that are often discussed in holistic health spaces and how many people use them in simple, everyday ways: Castor oil, often used externally for skin or joint support Frankincense and myrrh, historically valuable and still commonly used today Lemon balm (also called Melissa), frequently enjoyed as a calming tea Elderberry, widely known for immune support Cacao, a plant-based food many women notice supports mood and inflammation The goal isn’t to do everything — it’s to understand that small, thoughtful use can go a long way. How to Use Natural Remedies Wisely and Safely Natural doesn’t mean careless. Wisdom still matters. Some helpful principles include: Choose reputable brands you trust Start with very small amounts Follow label instructions Be mindful of medical conditions or prescriptions If something feels unclear, it’s okay to pause, pray, and seek guidance. Why Discernment Matters More Than Fear It’s worth asking why we sometimes fear plants more than heavily processed foods or synthetic products. Discernment isn’t about rejecting modern medicine or natural remedies. It’s about understanding what we’re using, why we’re using it, and how it fits into a bigger picture of caring for our bodies with wisdom and humility. Episode Highlights 00:00 — Why natural remedies often feel confusing or unsafe 00:29 — When research fatigue and decision overload set in 01:19 — Castor oil and its long history of use 03:14 — Frankincense, myrrh, and their historical significance 04:13 — Lemon balm and calming plant-based teas 05:12 — Elderberry and immune-related research 06:08 — Cacao, inflammation, and mood support 07:34 — Addressing safety concerns with common sense 09:58 — Simple guidelines for using natural remedies wisely 12:26 — A personal story about learning boundaries the hard way 13:21 — Why many women stay stuck longer than they need to What I Hope You Take Away Natural remedies don’t have to feel intimidating Starting small builds confidence and safety More isn’t always better Discernment leads to peace, not pressure Faith-centered health decisions involve wisdom and responsibility If You’re Feeling Stuck or Unsure Most women don’t stay stuck because they don’t care about their health. We often stay stuck because we keep carrying the same questions, uncertainty, and mental weight month after month. If you’re ready to stop carrying that alone and want a calm space to talk things through and discern next steps, you’re welcome to book a one-on-one Health Clarity Session.

    183: What are You Numbing That God is Trying to Heal? A Faith-Centered Conversation About Distraction, Freedom, and Healing

    What do we reach for when life feels uncomfortable, confusing, or heavy? In this episode, we explore how distraction, numbing, and limiting beliefs can quietly keep us stuck—spiritually, emotionally, and physically. This conversation is for Christian women who want clarity instead of confusion, peace instead of just pushing through, and a faith-centered way to think about healing and forward movement. Together, we reflect on Scripture, freedom in Christ, and what it means to stop numbing and start paying attention to what God may be inviting us to face. Distraction, Numbing, and the Cost of Avoidance We live in a culture filled with noise and “respectable” distractions. While many of these things aren’t inherently wrong, they can become ways we avoid discomfort, grief, or truth. Over time, numbing keeps us from facing what needs healing and from experiencing the joy that comes from walking in our calling. Freedom Has Value in Itself Galatians 5:1 reminds us that Christ set us free for freedom itself. This verse points to God’s heart—freedom is not just a means to an end; it matters on its own. When we live distracted or numb, we often settle for less than what Christ already made available to us. Limiting Beliefs That Keep Us Stuck Many women carry quiet beliefs that shape their health and spiritual choices: “I’ve always been sick.” “I’ll never change.” “The Bible is too hard to understand.” These beliefs can slowly steal motivation and hope. It Is Not Too Late to Begin Again No matter your age, history, or past decisions, it is never too late to make a different choice. While salvation is a free gift received through faith, our daily decisions still matter. The steps we take today can influence our peace, our health, and the way we live out our calling. When God Doesn’t Give a Clear Answer There are seasons when we ask God for direction and don’t receive a clear, immediate response. In those moments, discernment may look less like waiting and more like taking one faithful step. Sometimes God invites us to move forward and trust that He will guide us along the way. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 – A reflective question about numbing and healing 00:09 – Galatians 5:1 and God’s heart for freedom 00:39 – The grief of wasted potential and missed joy 01:37 – How delighting in God reshapes our desires 02:07 – Respectable distractions and subtle numbing 02:32 – “Permissible vs. beneficial” and the role of boundaries 03:30 – Limiting beliefs that quietly keep us stuck 04:25 – Why it’s never too late to begin again 05:25 – Salvation by grace and why our daily choices still matter 06:50 – Freedom as something God deeply values 07:15 – Cultural lies about inevitability and helplessness 08:14 – Obedience, faith, and taking the next small step 09:12 – Turning to God instead of numbing or avoiding 09:42 – Invitation to Health Clarity Sessions and quiet gathering Key Takeaways • Freedom is something Christ intentionally offers and values • Distraction and numbing can quietly keep us from healing and growth • Limiting beliefs shape what we believe is possible for our health and faith • It is never too late to change direction or take a new step • Clarity often comes after movement, not before it • God meets us in honesty, not avoidance If this episode stirred something in you and you feel overwhelmed, unsure, or disconnected from your body and direction, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I offer one-on-one Health Clarity Sessions for women who want a calm, faith-centered space to listen, discern, and identify wise next steps—without pressure or fixing.

    182: Is God Silent—Or Is There Too Much Noise?

    Sometimes it feels like God has gone quiet — especially when you’re overwhelmed, facing health decisions, or trying to make sense of conflicting advice. In this episode, we explore a different possibility: that clarity isn’t missing because God isn’t speaking, but because there’s simply too much noise around us. This conversation is for Christian women who feel tired of trying to figure everything out on their own and who want a faith-centered way to move forward with peace. We talk about why Scripture values wise counsel, how God often brings clarity through others, and what it looks like to slow down enough to truly listen. Why Clarity Matters in a Noisy World When information is constant and opinions are endless, it becomes difficult to discern what truly matters. Scripture reminds us that wisdom is found not in rushing forward, but in seeking counsel and listening carefully. What the Bible Teaches About Wise Counsel The Bible consistently affirms the value of wise counsel. When we fail to seek it, we risk confusion and unnecessary struggle. God invites us to come to Him first — and He often uses other faithful people to help bring clarity. Why Health Decisions Can Feel So Confusing Health advice comes from every direction: doctors, practitioners, online experts, and trends that often contradict one another. Without discernment, this can leave women feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure of their next step. Slowing Down to Hear God More Clearly Clarity often comes when we intentionally slow down. Creating space for prayer, Scripture, quiet reflection, journaling, walking, or gentle practices can help calm the body and mind so we can better hear God’s guidance. How God Uses Others to Bring Perspective and Peace God frequently works through community. Prayer, listening, and shared wisdom from trusted believers can bring reassurance, confirmation, and renewed peace when we feel overwhelmed. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 – When clarity feels hard to find and life feels noisy 00:20 – Who this episode is for and the foundation of faith-centered healing 01:12 – Choosing “clarity” as a Word of the Year 01:41 – A biblical example of what happens when counsel is ignored 02:38 – How wise counsel and prayer brought relief and direction 04:35 – What Proverbs teaches about wise words and healing 05:03 – Why health advice can feel overwhelming and conflicting 06:28 – How faith-centered clarity sessions can help sort through the noise 07:39 – Learning to slow down and listen for God’s guidance 08:08 – Simple practices that support clarity and discernment 09:57 – Why timing matters, even when God gives a vision 10:25 – Invitation to a quiet Zoom gathering for prayer and Scripture Key Takeaways • God values wise counsel and invites us to seek Him first • Clarity often comes through slowing down, not rushing ahead • Health decisions feel less overwhelming when rooted in faith and discernment • God may use trusted people, prayer, and quiet reflection to guide next steps • Understanding and peace are often the first signs of true direction If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure what your next health step should be, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I offer one-on-one Health Clarity Sessions designed to help you sort through the noise, gain understanding, and move forward with peace and discernment. You don’t need to be in a crisis — this is simply for those moments when you’re not sure what to do next.

    181: The Overlooked Stress Relief Tool God Already Gave You

    Episode Summary If you’re overwhelmed, tired, or stuck in fight-or-flight mode and unsure how to support your body without spending more money, this episode is for you. In today’s conversation, Alexandra shares a simple, affordable, and often overlooked way to help the body recover from stress: music. Drawing from personal experience, Scripture, and educational research, this episode explores how music—especially instrumental music—can help the nervous system settle and create space for rest, reflection, and listening. This is a faith-centered reflection on how God designed sound and music for our wellbeing. No protocols. Just wisdom and discernment. This episode is especially for Christian women seeking clarity, peace, and a gentle way forward. Why Stress Recovery Doesn’t Have to Be Expensive Many women feel stuck because they believe stress relief or healing requires money, programs, or products they can’t afford. In this episode, Alexandra challenges that belief and reminds listeners that some of the most powerful supports for the nervous system are simple and already available. Music is one of those tools—created by God, accessible, and deeply influential when used intentionally. Rediscovering the Gift of Music Alexandra shares how music played a major role in her life growing up—from piano and violin to choir and orchestra—but gradually faded during the busy years of motherhood. A moving experience at a musical performance helped her realize how deeply music affected her emotionally and how much she missed it. Since then, music has become part of family life, stress recovery, and quiet reflection. What Research Helps Us Understand About Music Alexandra references educational research that explores how music affects the brain and nervous system, including: Its role in emotional regulation How it can influence calm and focus The way different types of music evoke different responses What Scripture Shows Us About Music The Bible repeatedly points to music as part of worship, spiritual expression, and restoration. This episode reflects on several passages, including: Revelation 5:8–9 – Music and worship before the throne Revelation 14:2–3 – The sound of harps and a new song Joshua 6 – Trumpets and obedience in the fall of Jericho 1 Samuel 16:23 – David playing music and Saul being refreshed These passages remind us that music is woven into God’s design, not an afterthought. Why Instrumental Music Can Be Especially Calming Alexandra explains how instrumental music, without lyrics, has helped her: Calm her nervous system Focus on the beauty of sound Create stillness after prayer or Scripture reading Journal thoughts that align with biblical truth She shares how instrumental music can make it easier to slow down and listen. Choosing Music That Uplifts Not all music has the same effect. Alexandra encourages listeners to notice how their body responds and to choose music that feels uplifting and calming rather than intense or distressing. She shares personal examples, including violin covers, instrumental playlists, and soundtracks that evoke peace, strength, and hope. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:01 – A simple, affordable way to relieve stress 01:05 – Personal history with music 02:32 – Rediscovering music during adulthood 02:53 – Educational research on music and wellbeing 03:58 – Biblical passages about music 06:23 – Why instrumental music can be especially calming 07:51 – Using music during quiet time with God 09:22 – Choosing music that uplifts 10:46 – Encouragement to try this for yourself Key Takeaways Stress recovery doesn’t always require money or complicated solutions Music is part of God’s design for wellbeing Instrumental music can support calm and stillness Paying attention to your body builds discernment Simple practices can support peace without pressure Feeling Overwhelmed or Unsure What Your Body Needs?

    180: How to Recover From Stress Naturally: A Faith-Based Approach to Healing Your Nervous System

    Podcast Show Notes | Christian Wellness & Stress Recovery Introduction Do you feel constantly stressed, wired, tired, or unable to truly rest — even when you slow down? In this episode, Alexandra shares a faith-fueled, holistic approach to stress recovery and explains why many women never fully recover from stress in the first place. We rush, suppress emotions, push through exhaustion, and repeat the cycle day after day — leaving our bodies stuck in fight-or-flight mode. This episode is for Christian women who feel overwhelmed, anxious, chronically stressed, or physically depleted and want a biblical, body-wise way to restore calm, energy, and clarity — without relying on numbing distractions or unhealthy coping mechanisms. You’ll learn: Why stress recovery matters just as much as stress management How movement and focused activities help your body exit fight-or-flight What God’s design for stress, rest, and healing really looks like Practical, natural ways to help your nervous system reset Why We Don’t Recover From Stress (And Why It Matters) Many women experience stress all day long — at work, at home, in relationships — but never give their body permission to release it. When stress is left unresolved: The nervous system stays stuck in fight-or-flight Digestion, sleep, and emotional regulation suffer Fatigue, anxiety, and chronic symptoms begin to appear God designed the body to be resilient — but not to stay in survival mode forever. How Focused Movement Helps the Body Release Stress Alexandra shares a personal story about noticing stress symptoms (like eye twitching) disappear after activities like martial arts training, even when she didn’t feel excited about going beforehand. Why does this work? Certain activities: Force your brain into the present moment Activate stress briefly, then allow it to fully resolve Signal safety to the nervous system after the activity ends This “closed stress loop” allows the body to finally relax. The Science Behind Stress Relief and the Nervous System Focused, structured activities such as: Martial arts (Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai) Partner dancing Rock climbing Playing musical instruments Chess or strategic games Escape rooms …can help: Improve focus, attention, and executive function Elevate mood and endorphins Reduce anxiety Support emotional release (yes, even crying afterward) These activities don’t allow rumination — the brain must stay present. Why Scrolling and Numbing Don’t Heal Stress Many people cope with stress by: Excessive social media scrolling Alcohol or other numbing behaviors Avoidance instead of release These habits do not complete the stress cycle — they only delay healing. True recovery requires helping the body recognize safety again. Biblical Perspective: Fight-or-Flight, Rest, and God’s Design Alexandra reflects on how fight-or-flight became necessary after sin entered the world, but it was never meant to dominate our lives. Jesus invites us into rest: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 The goal isn’t to eliminate stress entirely — it’s to move out of survival mode and back into rest and trust. You’re Not Too Old to Heal or Try Something New One of the biggest lies women believe: “I’m too old to start something new.” The body is adaptable. Strength, coordination, and resilience can be rebuilt at any age. Ask yourself: What did I love doing when I was younger? What challenges my brain and body in a healthy way? What helps me feel calm, grounded, and alive afterward? Healing often begins with movement, curiosity, and courage. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 – Why most women never recover from stress 01:05 – Stress symptoms showing up in daily life 02:28 – Why focused movement changes the brain 03:20 – Mental and emotional benefits of martial arts 05:44 – Fight-or-flight vs. stress release 06:42 – Why structured dancing works similarly 09:35 – Emotional release and nervous system safety 12:01 – Non-movement stress relief options 14:28 – Biblical reflection on stress and survival 15:55 – Numbing doesn’t heal 16:24 – You’re not too old to start again 18:18 – Encouragement to find your path to recovery Key Takeaways Stress recovery is just as important as stress management The body needs signals of safety to heal Focused activities help close the stress loop Healing doesn’t require perfection — just intention God cares about your rest, not just your productivity Ready for Clarity and Support? If you’re unsure what your body needs right now and want faith-centered guidance without overwhelm, you can learn more about Health Clarity Sessions. 👉 Visit: herholistichealing.com/clarity These sessions are designed to help you: Discern what’s draining your energy Understand your stress patterns Identify wise, next steps for healing Final Encouragement Your body was designed by God to heal — but it needs permission to rest.
