    63 – Walking with Spirit: The Two Wild Horses

    In this week’s women’s sharing circle from Nakivale Refugee Settlement, we explored a gentle truth: we are born with Spirit inside us. Through the story of “Two Wild Horses” — Luna (our personal mind) and Star (the Universal Spirit/God), you will hear how life becomes clearer and kinder when they move together. When storms come, and Luna feels lost, a quiet mind helps her hear and feel the way home.   What you’ll discover ... Spirit 101: The Universal Spirit is constant; our personal spirit is always growing (quote from Sydney Banks) Quiet before answers: When we settle inside, guidance rises from within. Forgiveness & self-love: Real testimonies of dignity, sobriety, and hope. Share to grow: When we share, we heal — and help our neighbors heal.   Simple Practices from This Session ... Pause when storms arise: Instead of running or reacting, stop and breathe. Let your heart settle before acting. Listen for the quiet voice within: Like Luna under the moonlight, notice the soft feeling that points you home. Walk with Spirit daily: Remember you were never meant to live this life alone — Star walks with you always.   Who This Is Created For ... Women and families in refugee settlements and ANYONE who wants practical peace, courage, and a deeper connection with Spirit in daily life.   You are not alone. You are peace, love, and wisdom in motion. If this touched you, share it with a friend or family member.

    62 – Saying NO with Love: Lessons from Nakivale

    In this sharing from Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Uganda, Shailia talks about something that touches all of us — how to listen to our inner wisdom and say "NO" with love and respect. Many times, our mouth says yes even when our heart says no — because we don’t want to hurt someone, disappoint them, or be seen in an unflattering light. But when we do that, we innocently betray ourselves and our inner knowing.This teaching shows how self-love, inner wisdom, and a quiet mind can help us listen to our hearts and speak the truth gently. What you’ll learn:- How to listen to the feeling inside that says, "this is not right for me"- How to say “no” kindly and still show respect- How a quiet mind helps you hear your heart’s voice- Why loving yourself means being honest with yourself and others This video includes one true story about personal safety and consent.

    61 – Why “Seeing the Innocence” Doesn’t Mean Accepting Bad Behavior

    In this TIME FOR YOU episode, Shailia Stephens and Lea Wernli step straight into a tender, complicated territory: the moment when compassion becomes confusion. When “seeing the innocence” of others collides with the reality of manipulation, control, or simply bad behavior. They explore childhood conditioning, people-pleasing, boundary-blurring, and the strange silence we sometimes slip into when something feels off but we can’t yet name it. A clear, empowering conversation about trusting your inner knowing—and removing the spiritual gloss from unhealthy behavior.   Join Us For the "My Secret Life" Interview Series We created the “My Secret Life” interview series to share a new understanding of human psychology, making insights and change easier for everyone, no matter where they are in their journey.

    60 – Strengths in Disguise: Why Your “Flaws” Might Be Your Superpower

    In this TIME FOR YOU episode, Shailia Stephens and Lea Wernli wander into a tender, funny, and revealing exploration of “limitations” — the quirks, patterns, and imperfections we often try to hide or fix. From Lea’s spontaneous, hiking-in-Sweden-without-the-right-shoes to Shailia’s highly structured world, they unpack how our so-called weaknesses often shape our style, guide our creativity, and even become our strengths. A conversation about embracing who you already are, without forcing yourself into someone else’s blueprint. But also, playing the game in the other direction if you want to.   Join Us For the "My Secret Life" Interview Series We created the “My Secret Life” interview series to share a new understanding of human psychology, making insights and change easier for everyone, no matter where they are in their journey.

    59 – What Really Matters: Lessons From Dementia, Presence, and Beauty Everywhere

    In this TIME FOR YOU episode, Shailia Stephens and Lea Wernli follow an unexpected thread—what truly remains when everything else falls away. Their conversation drifts from money worries to the quiet lessons Shailia receives while visiting her mother-in-law in a dementia ward: presence as love, small gestures as connection, and humor showing up in unlikely corners.

From inner shifts to everyday questions like What do I really want today? they unravel the space where insight becomes action. A warm, funny, and refreshingly real exploration of spiritual understanding meeting practical life—the place where wisdom rolls up its sleeves.   These are the 3 questions they were talking about: What would you like to do today?

    56 – Confidence Without Trying: How Presence Guides the Next Step

    In this episode of TIME FOR YOU, Shailia Stephens and Lea Wernli explore the nature of confidence—not as something you build, but something you return to. Through stories from refugee communities in Uganda and everyday life in Europe, they reflect on how insecurity, overthinking, and unfamiliar circumstances can make us forget our inner confidence. With humor and honesty, they share how presence, intuition, and the next simple step gently guide us forward, no matter the situation.
