    Nervous System Regulation & Emotional Eating with Kirsten Huneyball

    Send us Fan Mail You can be doing “all the right things” with food and still feel hijacked by cravings, rules, shame, or that split-second urge to punish your body. That is why this chat with Kirsten, a somatic coach and felt sense polyvagal model facilitator, goes straight to the root: nervous system regulation. We unpack how polyvagal theory helps explain disordered eating patterns, why behaviours can persist even when you understand them logically, and what it looks like to build safety in the body so recovery is not just willpower. Kirsten shares her personal journey through anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, purging disorder, and exercise addiction, and how her relationship with God became central to healing. We talk about the space many people feel stuck in: wanting spiritual depth but feeling wary of church culture, and wanting psychological tools that actually work in real life. Her work blends clinical-informed somatic coaching with practical support, including her Grounded Method and the first tool she teaches: noticing. That grounded pause helps you slow down, get curious about what is happening underneath the urge, and start tracking patterns you can actually shift. We also move into the day-to-day reality of living with ADHD and managing overwhelm. Kirsten explains why stillness supports executive function, how “closing loops” makes tasks doable, and how the words you repeat to yourself shape what you believe is possible. If you want a grounded, compassionate take on eating disorder recovery, emotional eating, stress eating, body image, and practical regulation tools, you will get a lot out of this one.

    How to Plan Your Year With God: Seek, Surrender, Steward

    Send us Fan Mail Planning ahead can feel sensible, even wise, until you realise you might be writing the whole story and only asking God to sign off at the end. We’re talking about looking towards 2027 from a different starting point, not with a goals list or a vision board, but with three words that put faith back at the centre of your planning: seek, surrender and steward. It's important before you begin anything that you seek God's will for your year ahead. When money is stressful and the numbers don’t add up, trust stops being theoretical. It becomes daily, practical and sometimes uncomfortable. Along the way, we reflect on how God’s definition of breakthrough often reaches deeper than the bank account, shaping surrender, obedience, resilience and a steadier faith. Then we get practical. We share what surrender looks like in real family decisions, including the emotional weight of changing schools, stepping into unknowns and learning to move before every step is clear. From there, we shift into stewardship and organisation, walking through the five pillars of balance: time, money, self-care, home and work. You’ll hear how to prepare for what you already know is coming, simplify what’s adding pressure, and keep margin so God can redirect without you burning out. If you want a clear next step, grab a notebook and try the seek, surrender, steward exercise, then come back to it as the year unfolds. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s planning ahead, and leave a review so more people can find the podcast. Support the show 🎧 Enjoyed this episode?

    Finding Rest in the Chaos of Motherhood with Carrie Newport

    Send us Fan Mail Rest sounds simple until you’re a mum with a full house, a busy brain, and a heart carrying more than most people can see. Carrie joins me again to talk about what it looks like to keep showing up anyway, not with a polished “super mum” mask, but with honesty, faith, and the kind of small steps that actually work in real life. We yarn about her new book, Broken Becoming Beloved, and how her story of motherhood, grief, and healing becomes an invitation for other women to reflect and realise they’re not alone.  We also dig into practical rhythms that help when life feels chaotic: doing one thing at a time, using the moments when motivation is there, and letting rest be part of the plan rather than something you earn. Carrie shares how she’s building community, why she created a five-day restart built on five-minute reflections and affirmations, and how those tiny wins can shift the way you see your day. If you’re searching for time management for mums, ADHD-friendly productivity, boundaries, and organisation that doesn’t demand perfection, you’ll find plenty to take away.  Faith runs through the whole conversation, especially around simplifying scripture and leaning into trust when your emotions are loud. We talk about a 52-week Bible study focused on women in the Bible, the power of prayer in hard seasons, and the freedom that comes from remembering you’re still you, not just “Mum”.

    When Being Capable Leads to Burnout with Anneliese Reeves

    Send us Fan Mail Being the capable one can feel like a superpower, until you realise it has started running your life. We’re joined by Anneliese Reeves, a pastor, event manager, mum of five, and former chief operating officer, to talk about the hidden pressure many women carry when competence becomes identity and productivity turns into armour. Anneliese shares the story behind her forthcoming book Chaotic And Competent, shaped by years of raising kids, leading teams, and learning to laugh through the mess. Together we tease out a hard truth: what we call “being responsible” is sometimes control in a polished outfit. We explore how self-reliance can creep in, why your capacity doesn’t determine your calling, and what it looks like to surrender decisions, timelines, and outcomes to God without switching your brain off. We also get practical with faith-based organisation and time management that works in real life: priorities you can revisit, lists that serve you rather than shame you, saying no without guilt, and letting other people help without feeling like you’ve failed. Mel shares a discernment moment where the right questions revealed a job offer’s true cost, and we talk about choosing peace, family, and flexibility over quick fixes that lead to burnout.

    Why You Keep Falling Back Into the Same Habits and How to Break the Cycle

    Send us Fan Mail You know that maddening moment when you promise yourself “never again” and then somehow end up right back in the same habit? Running late, spending you didn’t plan, putting yourself last, clutter creeping back in, procrastinating on the one task that matters most. We’re not treating that like a willpower issue. We’re treating it like a root cause issue. We walk you through a mini coaching session you can do with a notebook in real time, using the Five Levels of Why (the Five Whys) to get to the thought beneath the thought. We take common struggles across time management, money habits, self-care, home organisation and work productivity, and show how the surface problem often points to something deeper: weak boundaries, guilt around rest, emotional regulation, control, fear of judgement, or even identity. When you can name what’s actually driving the behaviour, you stop chasing random tips that never stick. Then we go further with the Vexenova technique, our practical framework for change: recognise what’s on repeat, reveal what’s underneath, replace the belief that isn’t serving you, rewrite what you’ll do differently, and reinforce the new pattern until it becomes natural. We also unpack the thought-belief-action-habit-life cycle, and (for those who want it) connect the process to Romans 12:2 and the renewing of your mind, blending Christian mindset coaching with real-world steps like delegation, boundaries and supportive rhythms. If you’re ready to break cycles with support and accountability, we share how to connect with us and where to find deeper coaching inside the She’s Organised Hub.

    Systems Over Hustle with Coach Lee

    Send us Fan Mail Your to-do list is not the problem. The real problem is trying to run your life on other people’s routines, reacting to interruptions all day, and calling it “just how it is”. We’re joined by Coach Lee, a criminal defence attorney by day and a productivity and accountability coach, to talk about what sustainable productivity actually looks like for women carrying big roles at work and at home. We get into the heart of time management for women: why planning matters more than motivation, how your calendar can protect focus, and what changes when you stop treating everyone else’s urgency as your emergency. Lee shares how she moved from fitness accountability groups into coaching, how the 2020 shift created space to step in, and why one-on-one coaching is so effective when productivity needs to be customised to your season, capacity, and responsibilities. We also unpack Lee’s Laws of Productivity and her simple Lee Method: look, examine, execute. It’s a practical framework you can use for anything from meal prep to meetings to building a business, without turning your life into a rigid timetable. We finish with a truth many high-achieving women need to hear: rest and downtime are not optional if you want to avoid burnout and show up with joy.  Follow coach Lee on Instagram @legallee.me and find "Lee's Laws of Productivity" on Amazon in your country today!

    Hear God Through Journalling with Michelle Moragne-Morris

    Send us Fan Mail A blank page can be more powerful than a loud mind. We sit down with Michelle Moragne-Morris for a real, grounded chat about Christian journalling as a practical way to hear God’s voice, especially when life feels messy, emotional, or uncertain. Michelle shares what happened when she launched a journalling challenge and why so many people are hungry for a simple method that moves beyond a “journal dump” and into clarity, comfort, and direction. We talk through what prophetic journalling can look like day to day: writing fast enough to stay in flow, learning what God’s voice sounds like (often a thought, not an audible voice), and learning what the enemy’s voice sounds like so we don’t partner with shame or condemnation. We also unpack why dating your journals and recording dreams matters, because God often speaks early and fulfils later, and those written words can become timely guidance you can actually point back to. Parenting comes into the mix too, especially the tension of wanting our kids to believe while also letting them explore, ask honest questions, and build their own relationship with God. From people pleasing and identity in Christ to addiction, grace, and the fear that drives control, we keep it practical and honest, with takeaways you can use straight away.

    Perfect Peace, Not Perfect Circumstances

    Send us Fan Mail Your brain can turn one stray thought into a “truth” that runs your whole life. If you’ve ever woken up already feeling behind, rushed through the day, then collapsed at night thinking “see, I knew I couldn’t keep up”, we’re pulling that pattern apart with a simple framework that makes the invisible visible. We start with Isaiah 26:3 and the word “steadfast” and why perfect peace is not the same thing as perfect circumstances. Then we dig into mental clutter and the kind that doesn’t show up on a to-do list: the thoughts you repeat, the comparison you carry, and the quiet beliefs like “I have to hold it all together” or “I’ll rest when I’m finished”. I share the cycle I teach in Mental Declutter, how thoughts shape beliefs, beliefs drive actions, actions become habits, and habits shape life, which then feeds right back into your thoughts. We also connect this to Romans 12:2 and the renewing of your mind, because lasting change rarely starts with another routine, planner, or burst of willpower. If you’re a woman juggling mental load, organisation, faith, and real life, this will help you find the deeper lever that leads to peace before productivity.
