    You Need to Meet These Women of the Bible (They Are Just Like Us) with Mary DeMuth

    A journey through the remarkable stories of women of the Bible. Most, if not all, women of the Bible lived extraordinary lives, overcame immense challenges, and set examples that resonate with us today. Whether you're a leader, a mother, or someone simply making her way through life's hurdles, these women have much to teach us. Discovering Strength in Women of the Bible Many of us feel misunderstood and overwhelmed at times, much like the women of the Bible did. Historical accounts show us that they faced challenges similar to our own. For instance, women from the Bible, such as Ruth and Esther, exemplify strength and leadership. They navigated complex societal roles and responsibilities, much like we do today. Their resilience and faith offer lessons in hope and determination as we pursue our own life goals. The Journey of Mary DeMuth in Exploring Women of the Bible Author Mary DeMuth sheds light on the often-overlooked women of the Bible. Through her spiritual journey and writing, Mary offers insights into the lives of these women and how their stories relate to our modern experiences. Her exploration began with noticing these figures in the scriptures, sparking her series of books that reimagines their stories. These narratives not only recount history but also relate it to our current societal dynamics. The Proverbs 31 Woman and Modern Womanhood A particularly inspiring figure is the Proverbs 31 woman. Her traits—virtuous, industrious, and compassionate—reflect the qualities we aspire to embody today. Mary DeMuth reminds us that these traits were exhibited throughout her lifetime, not in the span of a single day. It's important to remember that life's journey takes time and unfolds over years, offering us a model of grace and patience. Learning from Women of the Bible in Leadership Mary DeMuth highlights women like the biblical widow, who demonstrated profound influence through simple acts of faith. Though not widely recognized, their subtle contributions emphasize the importance of humility and perseverance. For women in leadership, these stories serve as reminders that actual influence often comes quietly, without fanfare, yet with a significant impact.

    The Need to Recognize Anxiety to Be Happier, Healthier, and Kinder with Karen DeHaven

    When you recognize anxiety, you can navigate it and transform your life from emotional chaos to joy, peace, and purpose. In today's complex world, understanding our mental health is crucial. Feeling anxious or overwhelmed is common, but managing these emotions leads to a happier, healthier, and kinder life. The first step in this transformative journey is to recognize anxiety. Recognize Anxiety for Mental Wellness To truly address anxiety, we must first recognize it. When we bring awareness to our feelings, we can identify triggers and decide how to respond. Often, we operate in a reactive state, which can result in unkind actions towards ourselves and others. Recognizing anxiety helps shift from automatic reactions to thoughtful actions. The Importance of Allowing Feelings Recognizing anxiety is only part of the solution. Allowing yourself to experience these feelings without judgment is crucial. By simply acknowledging anxiety, you reduce its power. Accept it as a temporary state rather than a definition of who you are. Investigate the Roots of Anxiety Once you've recognized and allowed the anxiety, delve into understanding its origins. Ask yourself when these feelings arise and in what situations they are most intense. This investigation is central to therapy and helps uncover the links between past experiences and current emotions. Nourish and Empower Yourself After identifying the source of your anxiety, it's time to nurture yourself. Simple actions, such as breathing exercises, doodling, or engaging in creative activities, can significantly reduce anxiety. These practices foster a calmer state of mind and promote more kind interactions. There are many ways to regulate and reset your nervous system to reduce anxiety.

    Episode 396. The three crucial relationships of women and anxiety causing you emotional chaos

    Anxiety and women have gone hand in hand for many years. And the prevalence has never been higher. Women and anxiety are often used in the same sentence. But most don't recognize the root of anxiety, nor the influence it has on day-to-day life, especially as mothers and women in leadership roles. What is anxiety? Anxiety is an abnormal sense of apprehension and fear that is often marked by physical signs and symptoms. When someone is anxious, they doubt that they will be able to cope with a situation or person. Doubt often leads to overreacting and emotional chaos. Overreacting disrupts stability within the family and influences the emotional state of others. Frequently, anxiety creates a vicious cycle.  Prevalence of anxiety Forty-two point five million Americans claim to suffer from anxiety. The prevalence is higher in women than in men. The statistics are staggering. Breakdown of the relationships between women and anxiety I see three types of women in my coaching practice.

    Moms, adopt these strategies before sending your neurodiverse students to college.

    When neurodiverse students are prepared, their college experience will be more successful and peaceful, and they will thrive. Navigating the transition to college can be a unique challenge for neurodiverse students and their families. Preparing both parents and students for this journey can make all the difference. Understanding Neurodiversity Neurodiversity acknowledges that every brain works differently, a natural human variation. Conditions like ADHD, autism, and anxiety fall under this category, demanding tailored support. Neurodiverse students, bright in their own right, often process information at unique speeds and benefit from specific learning strategies. The Importance of Advocacy and Support Parents must become staunch advocates for their neurodiverse students. Explore college resources like counseling and disability services. Actively seek out accommodations for students - provide detailed IEP or 504 plans. The more specific, the better. In addition, universities often offer free psychological counseling and support groups for neurodiverse students. Ensure your child is aware of the resources available to them and encourage them to use them. This proactive approach can significantly impact your child’s success and help them thrive. Creating a Structured Environment At home or on campus, establish a dedicated study space to minimize distractions and promote focus. Encourage the use of tools like white noise machines, noise-canceling headphones, and calendars. Assist in scheduling academic and leisure activities, emphasizing balance between work and self-care. Physical movement is crucial—encourage activities in campus gyms or outdoor exercises. Transition Strategies for Parents Parents should assist with campus and online technology walkthroughs to become familiar with the systems they will be using for school. Another strategy to help neurodiverse students is to create a personalized "all about me" letter for instructors. Doing so will help manage professor expectations without stress. Consistent parental involvement and understanding can ease the transition and foster independence. Empowering Neurodiverse Success A little preparation can transform the college experience for neurodiverse students. By advocating, preparing, and supporting your child, you are setting them up for a successful transition. Engage with their journey every step of the way. The right strategies can ensure that neurodiverse students thrive in their college environment. Specific for moms Moms, it is imperative that you work to regulate your nervous system to provide adequate responses and don't overreact when your child is in need. The transition to college can be stressful and emotional, and your children will need your support. The calmer you are, the less emotional chaos you will experience with your child.

    Episode 394 Reset Your Nervous System and Become the YOU You Want to Be with Leah Davidson

    Reset your nervous system to decrease emotional chaos in your life, career, and parenting. In a world where stress seems omnipresent, understanding and managing your nervous system can transform your life. Many of us experience overwhelming feelings and stress without realizing the root cause might be an unregulated nervous system. When you reset your nervous system, you equip yourself to handle stress, improve relationships with your children, and enhance your leadership potential. Understanding the Nervous System Your nervous system is the communication network between your brain and body, sending signals back and forth. When dysregulated, you might experience anxiety, tension, or even illness. Recognizing these signs is the first step in restoring balance. For many, symptoms may manifest as stress, tension, or worry, making it difficult to function at their best. Awareness and understanding of how your body reacts allow you to take control and make necessary adjustments. Recognizing Dysregulation Key to improving your well-being is recognizing when your nervous system is dysregulated. Symptoms appear in various forms, such as overthinking, stress, defensiveness, or even perfectionism. Your body's response, like persistent tension or discomfort, signals the need for change. By tuning into these signals, you can start to identify patterns and take proactive steps to address them. This recognition is vital for regaining a state of calm and focus. Steps to Reset Your Nervous System To reset your nervous system, focus on bringing your prefrontal cortex back online. This part of your brain, crucial for rational thinking, is often bypassed when stressed. Begin by acknowledging any tension and practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or muscle relaxation exercises. Creating a 'safety sequence'—asking yourself if you are safe, feel safe, and identifying physical reactions—can also guide you towards regulation. Implementing these techniques regularly can help shift your baseline state to one of calm and flexibility.   Read the full show notes and access all links.

    Stop! You need to rest with Julie Roebken

    Embrace the Power of Rest and Breathe In a world that glorifies hustle, the concept of rest often feels foreign. Rest isn't a luxury; it's a necessity for both your mental and physical health. You need to rest and breathe. Embracing rest and breath can transform your daily life, enabling you to lead and parent with vitality rather than burnout. Understanding Effective Rest When we refer to rest, it's not about idleness; it's about rejuvenation. It's crucial to reject the misconception that rest equates to laziness. Proper rest involves creating space for simplicity, silence, and sacred rhythms. This approach enables your mind and body to renew, allowing you to approach life with clarity and purpose. Regulated nervous systems and renewed minds are integral to genuine rest. These elements counteract society’s push to overachieve, leading to unhealthy stress levels. To avoid unhealthy stress levels and potential future health complications, it is essential to rest and breathe. The Vital Role of Breath Breathwork serves as a powerful tool for regulating your nervous system. Proper diaphragmatic breathing helps ensure that your physiology functions optimally, promoting peace and reducing anxiety. Many people unknowingly breathe incorrectly, using shallow breaths that keep the body in a stressed state. Engage in breathwork by practicing slow, intentional breaths. These conscious breathing exercises can bring immediate calm and enhance mindful living. Incorporate Rest Daily Rest can be integrated into your life without sacrificing productivity. Consider setting aside five minutes each day for silence and solitude. During this time, focus on your breathing. Let go of societal expectations, tune into the present moment, and experience the tranquility of God's presence. Simplicity and moderation are key. Allow yourself permission to reduce clutter in both your schedule and mind. This intentional practice of slowing down fosters a refreshing sense of peace and presence.
