It’s not always about becoming someone different.Sometimes it’s about realizing you’ve been disconnected from yourself for longer than you thought. The RISE Experience is a podcast for the woman who can handle everything — except herself. The one who shows up, gets things done, keeps things together… but quietly feels like something isn’t landing the way it should. Shannon Denniston is a behavior change coach and the founder of RISE. What she talks about here isn’t behavior on the surface. It’s what sits underneath it — patterns, beliefs, and identity-level disconnects that make consistency feel harder than it should. A lot of what gets called “starting over” isn’t starting over at all. It’s noticing what’s been running in the background for a long time, and learning how to move differently from there. Not forced. Not rushed. No reinvention, no reset, just more aware, more honest with where things actually are, and returning to yourself in a way that holds.

    When You’ve Outgrown Your Life And Don’t Know What Comes Next.

    Send me a text What if that heavy, suffocating feeling isn’t proof that you’re failing… but a quiet sign that you’ve simply outgrown the life you worked so hard to fit yourself into? Welcome to The RISE Experience — a podcast for women who are finding their way back to themselves. This is a space to slow down when everything feels loud, to live from steadiness instead of urgency, and to finally hear yourself think again. Here we talk about identity, faith, and the quiet inner wisdom that gets buried under all the doing. A place to pause, reflect, and rise from clarity instead of pressure. Episode Highlights In today’s episode, I’m taking you back to a moment on the floor of my closet when I finally realized I wasn’t the problem… the container was. I share what it’s like to feel yourself performing a version of you that doesn’t feel true anymore, how pride and familiarity keep us grinding away in seasons we’ve clearly outgrown, and why silence with God can feel like a fog slowly lifting. We’ll talk about how staying too long in the wrong place doesn’t disqualify you, how God can use every step to form you, and why the shift you’re scared of might not feel like loss at all, but like finally telling the truth about where you are. Episode Chapters 00:00 – Welcome to The RISE Experience 00:24 – When your life starts to feel like the wrong fit 01:10 – The moment in the closet that changed everything 02:05 – Realizing you’ve outgrown the container 03:10 – Pride and staying in what no longer fits 04:25 – Trying harder instead of questioning the fit 05:40 – How we outgrow roles, relationships, and versions of ourselves 07:00 – Why we stay: safety, familiarity, and the nervous system 08:24 – Finding silence with God 09:30 – Letting go of your own understanding 10:20 – Surrender, clarity, and seeing the real path 11:30 – Staying too long doesn’t disqualify you 12:25 – Your growth was real, even in the wrong container 13:10 – An invitation to honest silence with God 14:00 – Closing prayer and blessing Conclusion If something in you has been whispering, “This doesn’t fit anymore,” you’re not broken and you’re not behind. You’re just becoming aware of what God’s been gently showing you for a while now. The years you spent trying to make it work, the effort, the late nights, the roles you kept performing even after they stopped fitting you, they were not wasted. They shaped you. When you slow down long enough to get quiet with God and let yourself hear what you already know, the next step may still feel unknown, but it won’t feel like you’re losing yourself. It will feel like finally coming home to the truth that was there all along. Action Taken Set aside one honest, uninterrupted moment of silence with God. No noise, no “productive” quiet, just stillness.In that quiet, ask yourself:“Is there something I already know that I’ve been too afraid or too proud to act on?”Let the truth surface without making a plan or fixing anything yet. Just tell the truth to yourself and to God.If this language gives words to what you’ve been feeling, share it with a friend who might be trying harder and harder inside something that no longer fits. CTA If this landed for you, share it with a friend who has been pushing harder inside something that may no longer be right for her, and hit follow so you don’t miss what we’re building here together.

Your willingness to be honest about where you’ve outgrown something is brave, and I believe God meets you right in that honesty with clarity, kindness, and a next step you don’t have to force.

    How To Know When God Is Leading You Out of an Old Chapter.

    Send me a text You know that quiet feeling when a part of your life stops fitting, and you finally can’t ignore it anymore? Friend, if the version of you that you know is in there keeps feeling just out of reach, you’re in the right place. Welcome to The RISE Experience — a podcast for women who are finding their way back to themselves. This is a space to slow down when everything feels loud, to lead from steadiness instead of urgency, and to finally hear yourself think again. Here we talk about identity, faith, and the quiet inner wisdom that gets buried under all the doing. A place to pause, reflect, and rise from clarity instead of pressure. Episode Highlights In today’s episode we walk through what it feels like to close a chapter that shaped your whole identity, the strange mix of freedom and relief that comes with stepping out of a container that was never quite the right fit, and how The RISE Experience is opening up into a clear, unapologetic space for women who are finding their way back to the version of themselves that keeps feeling just out of reach with God. Episode Outline Welcoming Listeners and Setting the StageReflecting on Personal TransitionFuture Direction of the PodcastExploring Transition and PrideStepping into the New and Embracing ImperfectionClosing Thoughts and Prayer Episode Chapters 00:00 Welcome to The RISE Experience 00:15 Who this space is for 01:10 Looking back at last month 02:05 Closing a major life chapter 03:00 Freedom in leaving the wrong container 04:00 A new direction for the show 05:05 Living in transition, pride, and grief 06:20 Going deeper into identity and relationships 07:30 Showing up before it feels perfect 08:30 Nothing wasted in the wrong container 09:10 The Prodigal Son and the return home 10:05 Where your life no longer fits and closing prayer Conclusion There is a real tension in loving a chapter that shaped you and still knowing it no longer fits, and that is where we spend our time together here. We sit with the quiet relief of finally stepping out of the wrong container and begin to see that none of those years were wasted; they were forming something in you that can now live in the space it was always meant for. Through the moment of return in the Prodigal Son story, we remember that you are not chasing a brand new version of yourself, you are coming back to who you have always been with God, and letting that be enough. Action Taken Notice where you have been living in a container that no longer fitsSit with the question: Where have I been playing a role or living a version of myself that quietly stopped fitting?Let the question land without rushing to fix or explain itLet the picture of “the return” from the Prodigal Son story remind you that you do not have to have it all figured out before you come home to yourself CTA Share this with one woman who is outgrowing the life she is in and needs words for why it feels so off, and invite her to sit with the question of where her own container has stopped fitting.

    Finding Your Way Back To Yourself.

    Send me a text You do not have to earn your way back to yourself. Small counts. It always has. And it still does today, right here, as you are. Welcome to The RISE Experience — a podcast for women who are finding their way back to themselves. This is a space to slow down when everything feels loud, to lead from steadiness instead of urgency, and to finally hear yourself think again. Here we talk about identity, faith, and the quiet inner wisdom that gets buried under all the doing. A place to pause, reflect, and rise from clarity instead of pressure. Episode Highlights In today’s episode, the focus is on what it really looks like to start again without waiting for the right mindset, the right morning, or the more “put together” version of yourself to arrive. The lens is small, ordinary choices that actually count, like turning the music back on in the car, rolling the windows down for fresh air, or taking five quiet minutes outside, and how those moments become evidence that you have not abandoned yourself. There is an honest look at why nervous systems shut down under pressure and all-or-nothing plans, and why gentle, manageable steps are the ones that hold in real life. The story of Elijah gives a picture of God meeting you in rest and nourishment instead of performance, and the invitation is simple: find one small thing that makes you feel a little more like yourself and let that be enough to begin again. Episode Outline Finding Relief and Starting OverPersonal Transition and MusicThe Importance of Small ActsThe Role of the Nervous SystemScriptural Reflection and Practical ApplicationEncouragement to Start Now Episode Chapters 00:00 Welcome and setting the tone 00:28 Why starting over feels so heavy 03:10 Closing a long chapter and feeling the emptiness 06:05 Turning the music back on in the car 09:25 Letting small moments count as “showing up” 11:40 Nervous system, safety, and pressure 13:55 “Small is how she comes back” 15:20 Elijah, exhaustion, rest, and nourishment 17:10 Choosing your own “music in the car” 18:35 Prayer and blessing for the week Conclusion You do not have to wait for a perfect morning, a perfect plan, or a perfect version of you before anything counts. The ten minute walk, the rolled down window, the song you forgot you loved, the quiet no that protects your energy, all of it is real and all of it matters. That is the language your nervous system understands. That is how you tell your body and your soul, “I have not abandoned you.” The woman you have been trying to find never left. She has been here under the pressure and the starting over, just waiting for you to let the small, faithful moments count again. Action Taken Choose one small act that makes you feel more like yourself:  - Turn on music you actually love in the car     - Step outside for a few minutes and breathe fresh air     - Make your coffee slowly and with intention     - Say no to one thing you usually say yes to out of guilt   Let that one act stand on its own without turning it into a big plan or perfection goal  Notice what happens inside: the exhale, the sense of relief, the reminder that you are still here and you still matter   CTA If someone came to mind while you were listening, share this with her. Tell her the moment is now, that small counts, and she does not have to earn her way back to herself. Visit the links provided to stay connected. Instagram: @risewithshannonFacebook: Shannon DennistonLinkedIn: Shannon DennistonBusiness: https://msha.ke/shandenCoaching: https://msha.ke/risewithshannon Thank you for being here. The fact that you paused long enough to listen and to consider one small step toward yourself speaks loudly, even if no one else sees it. Keep choosing the gentle, ordinary moments that help you breathe again. That is where your rise begins.

    Rebuilding Trust With Yourself After Repeated Broken Promises.

    Send me a text When the promise you keep breaking feels like proof that you are the problem, what if it is actually your body doing exactly what it was designed to do to keep you safe?  Welcome to The RISE Experience — a podcast for women who are finding their way back to themselves. This is a space to slow down when everything feels loud, to lead from steadiness instead of urgency, and to finally hear yourself think again. Here we talk about identity, faith, and the quiet inner wisdom that gets buried under all the doing. A place to pause, reflect, and rise from clarity instead of pressure. Episode Highlights  In today’s episode, I get honest about the promises we keep making to ourselves around food, habits, and “starting over,” and how the story we tell after we break them can either bury us in shame or help us rebuild real trust with ourselves and with God.  Episode Outline  The pattern of broken promises and why it feels so personalHow repeated “failures” slowly erode trust with yourselfThe guilt and shame that show up after breaking a promiseWhy your body turns to old coping patterns when you are stressed or under fueledRereading the “evidence” of failure through a different lensNaming the deeper promise underneath the habits: not abandoning yourselfHow one hard moment becomes a story about your whole identityInterrupting the shame spiral with a new question about what your body is trying to do for youBeginning to rebuild trust with compassion instead of self attack Episode Chapters 00:00 Intro: Welcome to The Rise Experience 00:24 Rebuilding trust with yourself: monthly theme 01:32 Why we keep breaking promises to ourselves 03:10 Food, body, and the shame that follows “breaking the rules” 05:02 Your body’s real job: safety over perfection 06:28 How stress and under fueling trigger autopilot habits 08:05 Reframing “failure” as your body’s learned protection 09:35 The deeper promise: “I won’t abandon myself anymore” 11:02 How one hard moment rewrites your whole identity 12:20 Peter’s denial of Jesus and what fear does under pressure 14:08 Your story doesn’t end on your worst day 15:10 A new question: “What is my body trying to do for me right now?” 16:02 Practicing kinder self talk after you slip 17:05 Closing encouragement and prayer 17:55 Final send off: share with a friend and keep rising Conclusion Broken streaks, empty pans of brownies, missed workouts, the sharp words you wish you could take back, none of that gets to be the whole story about who you are. The real work is not never slipping again. The real work is what you say to yourself in the moment after you do. When you stop using those moments as evidence that you are too much or not enough, and start seeing them as honest signals of what you are carrying, you stop abandoning the woman you actually are. She has been there the whole time, under the pressure and the starting over, closer than it feels right now.  Action Taken  Notice what you say to yourself in the moment right after you “break” a promise.Ask: “What is my body trying to do for me in this moment?”Check your inner tone against how you would speak to someone you deeply lovePay attention to where you have been reading, struggle as proof that you are failing, instead of proof that something real needs careBring that honest need to God, asking for grace, strength, and a kinder way to see yourself   CTA  If this resonates, share it with a friend or a woman in your life who keeps calling her struggle a character flaw when it might just be her body doing the best it knows how to do.  Visit the links provided to stay connected. Instagram: @risewithshannonFacebook: Shannon DennistonLinkedIn: Shannon DennistonBusiness: https://msha.ke/shandenCoaching: https://msha.ke/risewithshannon Thank you for listening and for being willing to look at yourself with more honesty and compassion instead of more pressure. You are not the sum of your hardest moments or broken promises. You are the woman who keeps getting back up, learning what you need, and choosing not to abandon the truest version of you.

    Finding Steady Confidence in Faith When Hesitation Keeps Holding You Back.

    Send me a text You are not a woman who lacks confidence. You are a woman who has been moving through spaces that do not feel steady yet. What if that quiet hesitation you keep fighting is not failure, but your body trying to keep you safe in moments that feel too exposed? Welcome to The RISE Experience — a podcast for women who are finding their way back to themselves. This is a space to slow down when everything feels loud, to lead from steadiness instead of urgency, and to finally hear yourself think again. Here we talk about identity, faith, and the quiet inner wisdom that gets buried under all the doing. A place to pause, reflect, and rise from clarity instead of pressure. Episode Highlights In today’s episode, hesitation is not treated as something to push past, but as a clue. Together, we look at the places where you move easily and the places where you freeze, and how your nervous system and your story have been trying to protect you. Instead of performing confidence or waiting until you feel “ready,” you are invited to build a quieter steadiness in God, one small honest step at a time. Episode Outline The split-second pullback right when you are about to speak or act Why it is not a true “confidence problem” if you move boldly in other areasHow your nervous system is always asking, “Is this safe?” When visibility and unpredictability make you hit the brakes Performative confidence versus quiet, grounded steadiness Letting small everyday decisions stand without rewriting them Abraham’s story and moving with direction instead of full certainty Finding your anchor in a God who does not move   Episode Chapters 00:00 Intro: Welcome to The RISE Experience 00:07 When You Go Quiet Right Before You Speak 02:00 Is It Really a Confidence Problem? 03:30 Your Nervous System Asking “Is This Safe?” 06:00 Why You Start, Then Pull Back or Shrink 08:30 Performative Confidence vs Grounded Confidence 11:00 Uncovering the Woman Who Is Already Confident 13:00 Letting Decisions Stand Without Rewriting Them 15:00 Everyday Examples: Texts, Boundaries, Health Choices 17:00 A Small Practice for This Week 18:10 Closing Reflection, Encouragement, and Prayer Conclusion Hesitation is not proof that you are weak. It is a system that learned, a long time ago, how to slow you down when something felt risky. As you let small decisions stand, say the truer thing instead of the safest thing, and root your steadiness in a God who does not shift with people’s reactions, you are not building a brand new woman. You are finding your way back to the one who has been there all along. Action Taken Choose one everyday decision you usually second-guess and let it stand longer than feels comfortableResist checking reactions, softening your words, or walking back a boundary right awayNotice where you already move with ease and what feels different in those spaces  CTA Share this with a woman in your life who keeps calling herself “not confident” when she is really just standing in a space that does not feel steady yet.

    How Hesitation Shapes Your Direction and How to Find Steady Ground

    Send me a text When clarity is loud on the inside, but your voice goes quiet on the outside, something deeper is running the show.  Welcome to The RISE Experience, a podcast for women who are rebuilding trust with themselves — in health, leadership, faith, and everyday life. This is a space to slow down when everything feels loud, to lead from steadiness instead of urgency, and to listen again. Here, identity, faith, the body, and quiet inner wisdom matter. A place to pause, reflect, and rise from clarity instead of pressure. Episode Highlights In today’s episode, I’m talking about those moments when something feels really clear, but you still hold back or stay quiet. We look at how that starts small, with thoughts like “I’ll come back to that” or “maybe this isn’t the right time,” and how it slowly turns into a familiar pattern. Together, we notice where staying quiet once might have felt safer and how that response can stick, even when you actually know what you want to say or do. Instead of pushing through, we’re learning to pause, ask what doesn’t feel steady, and begin to see the difference between who we are and what we’ve picked up along the way, all while leaning into a steadier trust in God. Episode Outline Recent thread: control, trust, boundaries, and carrying what isn’t yoursThe quiet pattern of holding back and staying quietHow hesitation becomes a habit in everyday life and leadershipSafety vs confidence: why speaking up doesn’t always feel steadyLearning to notice the pattern instead of forcing yourself forwardSeparating your true self from learned responses to keep things comfortableFinding steadiness and movement anchored in GodReflection and prayer for awareness, clarity, and trust Episode Chapters 00:00 Welcome back to The RISE Experience 00:20 Recent themes: control, trust, boundaries, and caring vs carrying 02:10 Naming the quiet pattern of holding back 04:05 When hesitation becomes a habit 06:00 Why staying quiet once can start to feel safer 07:45 How this pattern shows up in conversations, decisions, and leadership 09:10 Tension between inner clarity and not following through 10:30 Safety vs confidence: what’s really going on 11:40 Noticing the pattern and asking what doesn’t feel steady 12:40 Anchoring steadiness and movement in God 13:50 Reflection questions: where you pull back when things feel clear 14:40 Closing encouragement: it’s learned, not who you are 15:05 Closing prayer and send off Action Taken Pause when you notice yourself softening, delaying, or staying quiet after feeling clear. Ask: “Does this feel steady, or am I trying to keep things comfortable?”   - Reflect after key moments: “What about that situation did not feel safe or steady?”Begin separating your identity from the pattern of holding back.   Conclusion Hesitation is not proof that you are missing something or that your confidence is broken. It is often proof that, at some point, staying quiet felt safer than being fully honest. When you can see that pattern for what it is, you no longer have to treat it as who you are. Awareness opens space to move with a different kind of steadiness, anchored in God instead of in keeping everything comfortable. CTA If this spoke to you, share it with a friend who also tends to hold back when she feels clear, and leave a rating so more women can find this space. Visit the links provided to stay connected.

    Why Overfunctioning Is Quietly Costing You More Than You Realize

    Send me a text Carrying more than you were ever meant to hold might look like strength on the outside but what if it’s quietly draining your soul, your energy, and your leadership from the inside out? Welcome to The RISE Experience, a podcast for women who are rebuilding trust with themselves — in health, leadership, faith, and everyday life. This is a space to slow down when everything feels loud, to lead from steadiness instead of urgency, and to listen again. Here, identity, faith, the body, and quiet inner wisdom matter. A place to pause, reflect, and rise from clarity instead of pressure. Episode Highlights In today’s episode, overfunctioning is named for what it really is: doing more than a role requires and calling it strength. The story traces how always stepping in and holding everything together creates quiet dependency, drains energy, and keeps the nervous system on constant alert. Listeners are invited to notice where responsibility has stretched too far, to step back into what is truly theirs to carry, and to let faith redefine leadership as steadiness, shared growth, and aligned responsibility instead of pressure. Episode Outline April recap: control, trust, boundaries, and caring without carrying everythingNaming overfunctioning: doing more than your role requires and calling it strengthHow overfunctioning quietly trains others to step back and underfunctionThe inner cost: constant mental load, low-level pressure, fatigue, and resentmentThe blurred line between being faithful and trying to be everythingShifting into alignment: doing what is yours and leaving space for othersCreating room for shared responsibility, growth, and steadier leadershipReflection and prayer: asking God for clarity on what is and isn’t yours to carry Episode Chapters 00:00 Welcome to The RISE Experience 00:20 April recap: control, trust, boundaries, caring 01:45 What is overfunctioning? 02:27 Why overfunctioning looks like strength 03:23 How others adapt and step back 04:45 The hidden cost: pressure, fatigue, resentment 06:40 When one person overfunctions, others underfunction 07:45 Shifting from doing everything to doing your part 08:35 Creating space for others to grow 09:40 Faith, faithfulness, and overextension 11:48 Reflection questions and gentle realignment 11:58 Closing prayer and final encouragement Action Taken Invited listeners to pause, take a breath, and reflect on: Where they have been doing more than their role actually requiresWhere they have stepped in so often that others have stopped stepping forward What one small shift back into alignment could look and feel like in their real life   Conclusion Overfunctioning can feel admirable and even spiritual, but it slowly reshapes your world so that everything rests on you. When responsibility is crowded into one pair of hands, growth stalls, for you and for everyone around you. Stepping back into alignment is not abandoning people; it’s trusting that you are called to carry what is yours, and to leave room for others to carry what is theirs. From that place, leadership becomes steadier, lighter, and more faithful to how it was designed to work. CTA Share this episode with a friend, teammate, or fellow leader who always seems to “have it all together” but might be carrying more than they were meant to.  Visit the links provided to stay connected.

    How to Show Up With Strength Without Emotional Overload

    Send me a text I used to think that being a “good leader” meant holding everything together for everyone else. But what if the very weight you’re carrying for others is the thing quietly burning you out? Welcome to The RISE Experience, a podcast for women who are rebuilding trust with themselves — in health, leadership, faith, and everyday life. This is a space to slow down when everything feels loud, to lead from steadiness instead of urgency, and to listen again. Here, identity, faith, the body, and quiet inner wisdom matter. A place to pause, reflect, and rise from clarity instead of pressure. Episode Highlights  In today’s episode, I’m naming the quiet way responsibility piles up on women who lead at home, at work, and in faith, and how caring for people slowly turns into carrying their emotions, outcomes, and problems as if they were our own. We walk through the difference between being present with someone and absorbing their struggle, why your nervous system feels constantly “on,” and the simple question that brings everything back into focus: Is this mine to hold, or is it mine to support? With a faith-centered, grounded lens, this episode makes space to release what isn’t yours, let others grow through their own process, and lead from steadiness instead of pressure and exhaustion. Episode Outline   The thread from control, trust, and boundaries into what we holdLeadership is what you carry, not just what you do The hidden weight of being the one everyone turns to when caring quietly turns into carryingEmotional overload and a constantly activated nervous systemThe cycle of stepping in: care, expectation, habitLeadership as a steady presence, not emotional absorptionHow over-carrying keeps others from building capacityShifting from “I need to fix this” to “I can support this.”Caring without carrying in everyday relationships The clarifying question: Is this mine to hold or to support?Releasing what isn’t yours and staying grounded in God’s assignmentA closing prayer to lay down what you were never meant to carry Episode Chapters 00:00 – Welcome to The RISE Experience 00:07 – Faith, leadership, and rising without burnout 01:10 – Control, trust, and boundaries: the bigger pattern 02:05 – When leadership becomes emotional weight 03:15 – Caring vs. carrying: the subtle shift 04:40 – Emotional overload and your nervous system 05:37 – The cycle of stepping in: care, expectation, habit 06:47 – Why leadership is not emotional absorption 07:40 – How carrying others’ weight blocks their growth 08:55 – From “I need to fix this” to “I can support this” 10:30 – Caring without carrying in real life 11:41 – Is this mine to hold or mine to support? 13:10 – Releasing what isn’t yours and leading from steadiness 14:20 – Prayer and final reminder: you don’t have to carry it all Action Taken  Pause and notice where emotional weight is being carried that doesn’t belong to you at home, at work, in your closest relationshipsAsk in real time: “Is this mine to hold, or is it mine to support?"Begin releasing situations, emotions, and outcomes that God has not asked you to carry.Allow others to hold their own experiences so they can grow their capacity and resilience   Conclusion  You were never asked to carry every emotion in the room or hold every outcome together by yourself. When you start to notice what you’ve picked up that isn’t actually yours, and gently place it back where it belongs, something in your body and spirit begins to settle. Leadership becomes less a

About

It’s not always about becoming someone different.Sometimes it’s about realizing you’ve been disconnected from yourself for longer than you thought. The RISE Experience is a podcast for the woman who can handle everything — except herself. The one who shows up, gets things done, keeps things together… but quietly feels like something isn’t landing the way it should. Shannon Denniston is a behavior change coach and the founder of RISE. What she talks about here isn’t behavior on the surface. It’s what sits underneath it — patterns, beliefs, and identity-level disconnects that make consistency feel harder than it should. A lot of what gets called “starting over” isn’t starting over at all. It’s noticing what’s been running in the background for a long time, and learning how to move differently from there. Not forced. Not rushed. No reinvention, no reset, just more aware, more honest with where things actually are, and returning to yourself in a way that holds.
