Welcome to A HOLY MESS, a safe place for you! Great at taking care of business but struggle taking care of you? You’re in the right place!

Does your life look pretty good on the outside, but inside, you’re struggling? I’m here to help.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, lost, exhausted, tired, or just drowning in a life that seems unfulfilling, broken, or like something is missing, THIS is the podcast for you.

I’m bringing you the absolute raw, unfiltered, and authentic truth.

Together, we will figure out how you can learn to thrive through the drama and trauma of life.

Even as Christians who sometimes feel unworthy and shame about our past, anxious about our future, or feel like we are not enough. There is so much more for us! There’s hope, joy, peace, fun, purpose, and a reason that YOU are on this planet.

We CAN have fun and laugh while trudging through our messes; this stuff doesn’t need to be dry and boring!

We will dig into finding freedom in our mess, tactical tools to help in our daily lives, and amazing guests, too!

”Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.”-Psalm 84:5

I can’t wait to journey with you!

    151. Unlocking Relationship Healing: Healing from the Inside Out

    151. Unlocking Relationship Healing: Healing from the Inside Out

    Today, we're diving deep into something that's been heavy on my heart—those complicated, often painful relationships in our lives.
    You know, the ones I'm talking about—the ones that ache deep within you and keep you up at night. Our nearest and dearest struggles either with our spouses, children, parents, siblings, churches or even colleagues- can leave us feeling lost, overwhelmed, and desperate for answers or even an escape hatch at times. 
    I've been there, friends. Oh, have I been there. And I know how crippling it can feel.
    But here's the beautiful truth I've discovered on this journey: the relationship we need to heal most is often with ourselves.
    I know it might sound counterintuitive and maybe even a little selfish, but stick with me here because this is where the magic happens.
    In this episode, we're exploring what I like to call the "magic sauce" of relational healing:
    - Why healing your relationship with yourself is the key to unlocking clarity and wisdom with how to deal with all other relationships- How our relationship with ourselves profoundly impacts every area of our lives- A special 7-day mirror exercise that might feel uncomfortable at first, but could change everything- The spiritual perspective on self-love and soul care and its critical importance in our walk with God
    Takeaway quote: "As we heal our relationship with ourselves, I'm telling you, other relationships around us are healed. And as we find boundaries, we find clarity."
    Verse mentioned: Jeremiah 1:5 "I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born, I set you apart."
    Song mentioned: "God Only Knows" by King & Country

    150. Wired To Be Sought After: The Primal Dance of Human Existence

    Hi friend!
    I'm sharing a short story, verse, quote, and song in today's short episode.
    I hope it blesses you!
    Remember, no matter how lonely you feel, you're not alone. 
    Quote: "We are all born into this world looking for someone looking for us." --Psychiatrist Curt Thompson, read that again. 👆🏽
    Song: I am not alone by Kari Job iTunes // YouTube // Spotify
    Verse: Romans 8:38-39 "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord" 
    Glad you're here,

    149. The Truth About Happiness: It Comes with a Side of Sadness

    149. The Truth About Happiness: It Comes with a Side of Sadness

    Hey friends,
    Get ready to dive into the messy, beautiful reality of being human with Therapist Jim Beebe. Jim's such a gift to our community! 
    We're talking about the loneliness and incompleteness so many of us feel, and guess what? It's not just you, and it doesn't mean you're failing at life or doing anything wrong!
    I know in some Christian circles, feeling sad or anxious can make you feel like you're not praying hard enough or that God's giving you the cold shoulder. And that can add another layer of shame to our struggles. Ugh.
    But those feelings are part of the human package.
    Jim also reminds us that even the best marriages and relationships can't erase human loneliness, but embracing it as part of our journey leads to depth, wisdom, and wholeness. Sadness can even be the doorway to true joy—crazy, right? But oh, so true.
    If you've ever felt like something's missing or beaten yourself up for not being happy enough, this episode is a big ol' hug and fresh perspective. True happiness is about dancing with all of life's experiences with acceptance and grace.
    Enjoy Jim's refreshing perspective and wisdom that comes from working as a Therapist for over 40 years. :)
    Sending so much love to you, and I'm glad you're here!
