    Why Real Transformation Can’t Be Taught: Honoring The Life & Lessons of Dr. Arlene McFarland

    A week ago, I said goodbye to someone who profoundly shaped the way I understand healing, truth, and transformation. Dr. Arlene McFarland was not only my incredible therapist who graced us with her presence here on The Abundance Formula Podcast only a few episodes ago, but also a dear friend and mentor. She was a guide, a truth-seeker, and someone who deeply embodied the principles she helped others discover for themselves. What made Arlene extraordinary wasn’t just what she taught—it was how she lived. Even while facing cancer, she refused to let circumstances define her identity. She chose her energy intentionally, continued serving others long after most would have stopped, and modeled what it truly means to be an impactful, powerful and transformative leader. In this episode, I’m honoring Arlene by sharing the lessons she lived out so beautifully—lessons about identity, truth, intentional energy, and the courage to trust the process of real transformation. My hope is that these reflections will inspire you to carry even a fraction of these qualities into your own life. If we do, her impact will continue rippling through the world in ways we may never fully see, but that’s the beauty of a life well lived — It keeps transforming people… long after you’re gone. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE •4 power lessons and ways of being I learned from my time with Dr. Arlene McFarland •Why choosing your emotional energy intentionally can change how you navigate life’s challenges •The powerful difference between your circumstances and your identity •What Arlene modeled about living with purpose—even while facing serious illness •Why the most powerful transformation is experiential, not instructional •What it means to relinquish control and trust in the healing process •Why great guides don’t try to fix people—they help them discover truth •How having someone walk with you through truth—without judgment—can change everything LEAVE US A 5 STAR REVIEW!!! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-abundance-formula-podcast/id1343007048 Related Links for Jeana Oldham Instagram: @jeana_oldham Facebook: Jeana Oldham Website: https://oldhamstrong.com

    Do Real Superheroes Exist? How to Find Your Unique Gifts

    Have you ever wondered if real superheroes exist? My youngest daughter Saylor asked me that question, and our conversation opened up a whole new way of thinking about identity, gifts, and purpose. In today’s episode, I break down how discovering your God-given identity is the first step to uncovering the superpowers He’s placed inside of you. We talk about noticing the small clues in your everyday life—those natural abilities and joys that come without effort—and how they can lead to powerful “I am” statements that reveal who you really are. I also share examples of how to work backward from your natural strengths to uncover your true identity with practice and prayer. This episode is an accessible introduction to identity discovery. You don’t have to know it all or have it perfectly figured out—just start noticing your gifts, your impact, and the ways God is calling you to serve others. By the end, you’ll see that being a superhero isn’t about a cape—it’s about becoming who God created you to be. WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE How a simple question from my daughter sparked a big lesson about real-life superheroes.What it means to discover your God-given identity and superpowers.A simple “on-ramp” process to start uncovering your unique gifts today.How small clues in your natural abilities can lead to a powerful “I am” statement that will change the way you live your lifeWhy serving and helping others with the gift of who you truly are is the ultimate way to be a superhero.LEAVE US A 5 STAR REVIEW!!! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-abundance-formula-podcast/id1343007048 Related Links for Jeana Oldham Instagram: @jeana_oldham Facebook: Jeana Oldham Website: https://oldhamstrong.com

    Identity Speaks Louder Than Limitation: How to See Purpose, Perspective, and Possibility

    What you were born with. What happened to you. What you struggle with. So many of us mistake these things for our identity. In this episode, I share why identity—not diagnosis, logic, or circumstance—gets the final say. Through the stories of Jesse Findling on American Idol and Paralympic runner Blake Leeper, this conversation explores how perspective shapes possibility, why your environment shouldn’t define you, and how the parts of your story that feel messy or limiting may actually be where your purpose comes alive. You’ll hear why calling doesn’t wait for you to be fixed, how the perspective you choose determines the opportunities you’re even able to see, and why the very things you’ve been tempted to overlook or discount in your life may be the exact places your identity and purpose are trying to speak the loudest. WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IN THIS EPISODEWhy we often confuse circumstances, struggles, and diagnoses with identityThe powerful contrast between what the world predicts and what identity decidesHow Jesse Findling’s stutter—and Blake Leeper’s lack of legs—became context, not conclusionsWhy your environment should never define you—or strip you of who you areThe difference between waiting to be “fixed” and stepping fully into your callingHow a simple perspective shift can radically expand the opportunities you’re able to seeWhy the messy, inconvenient parts of your story may be what make you uniquely valuable LEAVE US A 5 STAR REVIEW!!! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-abundance-formula-podcast/id1343007048 Related Links for Jeana Oldham Instagram: @jeana_oldham Facebook: Jeana Oldham Website: https://oldhamstrong.com

    Healing Pain at the Root: Rewiring the Brain for Peace, Love, and Abundance with Dr. Arlene McFarland

    What if your pain isn’t a problem to fix—but a story asking to be understood? In this episode, I sit down with Arlene McFarland—wife, mother, and Marriage & Family Therapist of 27 years—for a conversation that goes far beyond mere "talk therapy." We explore healing as a process of discovery, not instruction, and why true transformation can’t be told… it has to be experienced. Arlene shares her personal journey into the work she was called to do, how God has led her both before and after her cancer diagnosis, and what she’s learned about time, purpose, presence and love along the way. We unpack EMDR, emotional agility, false beliefs, and the subtle but powerful shift that happens when we stop asking “What’s wrong with me?” and start asking “What is true?”If you’ve ever felt stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed by unresolved pain, or hungry for a fuller, more abundant life—this conversation will meet you right where you are. WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE Arlene’s personal backstory and how faith and calling shaped her 27-year career as a therapistHow her cancer diagnosis transformed the way she understands time, presence, and purposeWhat EMDR is, why it’s so powerful, and how to know when it’s the right toolHow Arlene guides people through healing without forcing outcomes Why finding the root of pain matters more than managing symptoms and results a in permanent changeWhy lasting transformation must be discovered—not taught or explainedThe greatest obstacle that keeps people from living the life they were meant forHow to develop emotional agility instead of constantly reacting to lifeLetting go of old beliefs and false identities that once felt protectiveThe profound shift from asking “What’s wrong with me?” to “What os actually true?”Tools for separating thoughts from the thinkerThe role of honesty—with ourselves and with God—in true healingPractical ways to begin healing even when you feel overwhelmed and unsure where to startWhat living an abundant life really means—and how to begin building one now LEAVE US A 5 STAR REVIEW!!! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-abundance-formula-podcast/id1343007048 Related Links for Jeana Oldham Instagram: @jeana_oldham Facebook: Jeana Oldham Website: https://oldhamstrong.com

    Three Words That Can Change How You Show Up Every Day

    Most days, real change starts with awareness, not effort. In this episode, I’m sharing a simple daily practice built around three intentional words — words that act as anchors throughout your day and quietly reshape how you respond, decide, and show up. This isn’t about overhauling your life or setting new goals. It’s about creating repeat moments of awareness that change your trajectory in real time. If you’ve been craving more alignment, clarity, or consistency — without adding another heavy “practice” to your plate — this episode will meet you exactly where you are. WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE Why awareness, not effort, is the real engine of lasting changeHow choosing three intentional words acts as daily anchors for your behavior and mindsetThe science of why repeated, small moments of awareness shape identity faster than big goalsHow to interrupt old patterns in real time — without force or willpowerPractical ways to notice when you’re off-track and bring yourself back to alignmentWhy this practice builds self-trust and consistency, even when life feels chaoticHow to create a simple, sustainable routine that compounds over timeReal-life examples of showing up differently in parenting, work, leadership, and personal growthLEAVE US A 5 STAR REVIEW!!! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-abundance-formula-podcast/id1343007048 Related Links for Jeana Oldham Instagram: @jeana_oldham Facebook: Jeana Oldham Website: https://oldhamstrong.com

    Stop Setting Goals — Build Habits That Actually Stick

    In the last few episodes, we’ve delved deeply into helping you know who you’re becoming — now it’s time to build the habits that support it. In this episode, we’re not talking about goal-setting, we’re talking about the systems and action steps that actually make goals possible. Because if you want a new outcome, you need new behaviors — or stronger versions of the ones you already have. This conversation is about building habits that support the life you’re moving toward, without burning out or relying on constant motivation. You’ll learn how to anchor new behaviors to your identity, why consistency always beats intensity, and how small, intentional habit shifts — even just 1% at a time — compound into massive, sustainable growth. This episode is about becoming the kind of person who naturally lives out the goals you’re setting. WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE Why identity always comes before habits, and habits always come before resultsThe mindset shift from “What do I want to achieve?” to “Who do I want to become?”Why a goal without habits is just a wishHow consistency beats intensity (and why high performers don’t live in burnout mode)The power of improving just 1% at a time — and how that compounds over weeks, months, and yearsHow to raise awareness of your current habits before trying to change themSimple ways to audit your good and bad habits by life category or valueHow to use habit stacking to make new behaviors feel automaticReal-life examples of anchoring habits to routines you already haveWhy your environment matters more than willpowerHow to lower friction for good habits and raise friction for bad onesHow the people you surround yourself with influence your behavior more than motivationWhy accountability — personal and social — accelerates habit changeLEAVE US A 5 STAR REVIEW!!! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-abundance-formula-podcast/id1343007048 Related Links for Jeana Oldham Instagram: @jeana_oldham Facebook: Jeana Oldham Website: https://oldhamstrong.com

    How to Find Your True Identity And Release False Versions of Yourself

    In the last several episodes, we’ve talked about growth, expansion, raising your standards, and stepping into your highest self—but none of that can fully land without addressing the foundation it all rests on: your identity. As you step into a new year, true transformation won’t come from doing more or fixing yourself—it will come from uncovering who you were before anything happened to you. In this episode, we explore the three types of identity most people live from, how false and constructed identities keep us functional but not free, and why truth-telling is the gateway to real healing. I’ll also guide you through a powerful confession and truth meditation designed to help release identities you may be holding—knowingly or unknowingly—and open space for your true identity to emerge. This episode is an invitation to make 2026 your most transformative year yet—from the inside out. WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE Why identity—not habits, goals, or productivity—is the true cornerstone of growth and expansionThe three types of identity people embody:False Identity (formed by experiences, environments, labels, or what happened to you)Constructed Identity (the version of you built to survive, succeed, control, or cope)True Identity (who you were before anything happened to you—rooted in truth, not behavior)Why constructed identities aren’t bad—but can quietly keep you stuck being functional versus being freeWhat “true confession” really means—and why truth-telling creates peace, even when it’s uncomfortableHow avoiding truth keeps trauma and limiting beliefs locked in the nervous systemA simple explanation of how truth access relates to healing and reprocessing (inspired by EMDR principles)A guided confession / truth-telling meditation & prayer to help release false identitiesHow this practice works whether or not you believe in God—framed as an honest experiment with truthWhy openness, curiosity, and honesty alone create real physical, mental, and neurological shiftsHow repeated truth practices can gently dismantle the protective fortresses you’ve built over timeLEAVE US A 5 STAR REVIEW!!! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-abundance-formula-podcast/id1343007048 Related Links for Jeana Oldham Instagram: @jeana_oldham Facebook: Jeana Oldham Website: https://oldhamstrong.com
