    Faith, Daily Rhythms, and Healing from the Inside Out with Stephanie Franklin- Suber In this episode Rossie welcomes Stephanie Franklin Suber, a certified Christian health coach, cancer conqueror, and cardiac arrest survivor, to discuss the connection between faith and daily habits in the wellness journey. Stephanie shares how her experiences with an aggressive breast cancer diagnosis in 2006, years of chronic illness, profound grief after family loss in 2012, and surviving 50 minutes of CPR following a sudden cardiac arrest in 2025 reshaped her from striving and perfectionism to surrender, stewardship, and consistent daily rhythms with God. She explains a simple daily rhythm—scripture, reflection, one small action step, and prayer—and encourages overwhelmed listeners to start with one grace-filled step for body, soul, or spirit. Stephanie directs listeners to rebuildyourtemplegodsway.com and her Signature Faith and Health Collection, including the Faith and Health Devotional and companion workbook. 00:00 Show Introduction 00:48 Episode Theme Faith Habits 01:32 Meet Stephanie Franklin 04:59 Daily Rhythm With God 06:45 From Striving To Stewardship 10:17 Cancer Diagnosis Turning Point 13:05 Chronic Illness And Grief 18:36 Cardiac Arrest Redirection 21:27 Healing Through Daily Rhythms 23:48 One Small Step Today 27:04 Where To Find Stephanie 31:14 Closing And Subscribe Follow Stephanie at:  https://rebuildyourtemplegodsway.com/ https://www.amazon.com/stores/Stephanie-L.-Franklin-Suber/author/B0GD8WFRTZ https://www.facebook.com/rebuildyourtemplegodsway https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-franklin-suber-404597316/  https://www.instagram.com/rebuildyourtemple_/ Thank you for listening!

    Tired of Starting Over? This Will Change Everything

    In this episode, Rossie dives into a powerful mindset shift that can completely change the way you approach your health, fitness, and consistency. If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “I’ll start Monday” or “This is my week”… only to fall off track a few days later—you’re not alone.  Rossie breaks down why setting more goals isn’t the solution—and how the real key to lasting transformation is raising your standards. She explains the difference between goals and standards, and why goals often depend on motivation, energy, and emotions… while standards are rooted in identity and become non-negotiable. In this episode, Rossie shares how to: Shift from goal-setting to identity-based habitsStop negotiating with yourself and start showing up consistentlyCreate simple, realistic non-negotiables that fit your lifestyleBuild a strong foundation with daily habits like movement, hydration, and nutritionRemove the pressure of perfection and focus on consistencyRossie also walks you through practical steps to start building your own standards, including choosing your 2–3 non-negotiables, setting a baseline, and shifting the way you speak to yourself. This episode is a reminder that transformation doesn’t come from doing more—it comes from becoming someone who lives by a higher standard. Key takeaway: Goals may get you started… but your standards are what keep you going. If you’re ready to stop starting over and finally build a lifestyle that works for you, this episode will give you the clarity and direction you need. Thank you for listening!
