    God Uses The Wilderness To Rebuild Your Identity with Devotional Author, Kristen Stockton

    Send us Fan Mail Your résumé can vanish in a single meeting. So what’s left when the title, the paycheck, and the plan fall apart? Sylvia Worsham sits down with author and leader Kristen Stockton to discuss the kind of loss that doesn’t just disrupt your work, but also shakes your identity. Kristen shares how a sudden job loss after 14 years sent her into fear and grief, and how God used that unraveling to rebuild something deeper than achievement: a grounded identity in Christ. We dig into the turning point that came through an identity exercise at a retreat, the call to be rooted in Colossians 2:7, and the hard truth many high-capacity women live with: doing “all the right faith things” can still leave a gap when you haven’t fully owned who you are in God. From there, Kristen names the three keys that carried her through a long formation season: awareness, surrender, and forgiveness. We also talk honestly about anxiety at 2 a.m., COVID-era financial stress, marriage strain, and the temptation to overfunction and manage everyone else’s pain. Kristen explains how listening, not striving, shaped her devotional When Strength Isn’t Enough, and she reads a powerful excerpt that reframes wilderness seasons as unexpected blessing, protection, and provision. If you’re searching for Christian encouragement, purpose, healing, and peace in chaos, you’ll find language and practices you can bring into your next prayer today.

    How High Achievers Lose Pleasure And Find Themselves Again with Dr. Jordin Wiggins

    Send us Fan Mail Your life can look perfect and still feel dangerous to your body. That is the thread we pull today with Dr. Jordin Wiggins, a naturopathic doctor and author of The Pink Canary, as we talk about the quiet signals women ignore until they cannot ignore them anymore: numbness, chronic stress, “functional” burnout, low libido, and that haunting sense that joy has gone missing. We dig into anhedonia, the inability to feel pleasure, and why it often gets mislabeled when you are still performing at work, keeping the family running, and smiling through it. Jordin explains how the nervous system and brain respond when you do not feel safe, including how pleasure centers can shut down under prolonged stress. We also talk about why hormones and antidepressants can help some people while still not addressing the real root cause for others, especially when the problem lives inside a relationship system that is extracting from you. From there, we name what is often left unsaid: coercive control. Jordin breaks down “super traits” like above-average empathy, loyalty, forgiveness, and tolerance, and how those strengths can make high-achieving, people-pleasing women more vulnerable to manipulative power-and-control dynamics. We share practical starting points from Jordin’s “pleasure path,” including small pleasure practices that rebuild presence and help you re-center your own needs without guilt. If you are ready to feel like yourself again, listen through and then check out Dr. Jordin’s work, including The Pink Canary, her Pleasure Principles Podcast, and her Pleasure Path Substack visit her website at: https://www.thepleasurecollective.com/ Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more women can find these conversations.

    A Former New Age Practitioner Explains Why She Turned To Christ with Jessica Campos

    Send us Fan Mail She thought Jesus was a frequency, a helpful symbol you could blend into a bigger spiritual toolbox. Then one unsettling moment and one simple invitation, “Jesus, come with me,” cracked open everything Jessica Campos thought she knew about healing, power, and truth. What followed wasn’t another clearing session or a new modality. It was deliverance, repentance, and a brand-new identity rooted in Christ. We talk through Jessica’s journey out of New Age spirituality, including energy work, “guides,” chakras, sound healing plans, and the subtle way spiritual practices can blur discernment. Jessica explains deliverance in practical terms, not just dramatic stories, but the daily freedom Jesus brings when we invite Him into strongholds like fear, anxiety, compulsions, shame, and old trauma. I also share how inner healing can look like God sitting with us in painful chapters and teaching us to see ourselves the way He does. We go straight to common questions listeners ask but rarely say out loud: yoga and Christianity, rituals versus faith, the danger of “emptying into the unknown,” and why the church can’t afford to stay silent on spiritual warfare. We close with a grounded reminder that you’re not powerless, that you can take thoughts captive, and that you can live as if you carry the victory Christ already won. If this conversation helps you, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s searching, and leave a review so more people can find the show. What part of Jessica’s story challenged you most?

    The Currency of Kindness with World-Renowned Publicity Expert Jill Lublin

    Send us Fan Mail One smile, one text, one handwritten note, one choice to notice the person right in front of you. That sounds small until you realize how often the “small” thing is the exact interruption someone needs when they feel unseen, overwhelmed, or alone. I’m joined by Jill Lublin, a powerhouse in the PR world and the author behind The Prophet of Kindness, and we go deep on what kindness looks like when it’s more than a slogan. Jill shares the moment an 85-year-old friend challenged her to imagine a “currency of kindness,” and how that idea quickly turned into a book, media momentum, and a bigger calling to spread kindness in everyday life.  We talk about Kindness Circles, the free monthly Zoom gatherings she started during COVID that have grown into a global community where people share real acts of kindness, support each other’s goals, and build relationships that outlast the moment. We also connect kindness to mental health, grief, and presence. I share why kindness helps me move through loss, and Jill explains why she encourages one conscious act of kindness daily, not just random kindness when it’s convenient.  From retraining negative bias to building new neural pathways through gratitude, we break down simple habits that make kindness easier to live out at home, at work, and in leadership. You’ll also hear examples of kindness in business culture and why kind companies can create happier teams and stronger results. If you want practical kindness ideas, a mindset shift you can start today, and a reminder that your presence matters, press play.

    Pro-Abundant Life: A Princeton Pregnancy Story Becomes A New Pro-Life Framework with President & CEO Roland C. Warren

    Send us Fan Mail Abortion is usually argued like a courtroom case or a campaign issue. We take a different route: a real story, a practical framework, and a challenge to build the kind of support that actually changes decisions and futures.  I’m joined by Roland C. Warren, author of Alternative to Abortion: Why We Must Be Pro-Abundant Life and President and CEO at CareNet, to talk about what happens when an unplanned pregnancy collides with fear, ambition, and uncertainty, and what it looks like to respond with faith and responsibility instead of panic.  Roland shares the pivotal moment that shaped everything: he and his girlfriend were undergrads at Princeton when a nurse assumed “of course you’re going to have an abortion.” They chose life, got married young, and watched God turn what felt disruptive into a foundation for family and calling. From there, Roland explains his “pro-abundant life” perspective rooted in John 10:10, including the connection between bios (physical life) and zoe (spiritual life). That shift reframes the goal from “win an argument” to “build the conditions for a family to flourish.”  We also get concrete about strategy: why fathers are often the most influential factor in abortion decisions, how pregnancy centers can welcome and equip men, and what CareNet does through a hotline, a national network of affiliates, and mobile ultrasound units. We talk about the rise of the abortion pill, why women need real medical care and real community, and why the local church is designed to provide “life support” through discipleship, mentoring, and loving relationships.  If you care about women, babies, fathers, and a better way to talk about the abortion issue without reducing people to politics, this conversation will stretch you.

    Moral Injury Is Treatable When You Finally Tell The Truth with Navy Chaplain Larry Brant

    Send us Fan Mail Some wounds don’t start with fear. They start with the moment you realize you crossed a line, followed an order, couldn’t stop what happened, or lived through something that still feels unforgivable. That’s the heart of “moral injury,” and it’s why I invited Navy chaplain Larry Brant onto the show. Larry joined the Navy at 45, deployed with Marines in Afghanistan, and later served as an ICU chaplain during the height of COVID. Across war zones and hospital rooms, he saw the same pattern: people doing their best in impossible conditions, then carrying crushing guilt and shame in silence. Larry breaks down the difference between PTSD and moral injury in plain language, including why they often coexist and why moral injury can make someone believe they are unlovable, beyond forgiveness, or even “contagious” to the people they care about. We talk about what actually begins the healing process: a safe, no-judgment space where someone can tell their story in pieces, be met with honor, and slowly reconnect to community. We also get practical. Larry shares how he partnered with mental health professionals and adapted a VA model into an eight-week program focused on spiritual strength, self-forgiveness, forgiving others, and rebuilding identity. One of the most powerful tools is a two-way prayer journal that helps people step out of self-condemnation and begin seeing themselves through God’s eyes again. You’ll also hear a deeply moving redemption story about a veteran who finally chose to tell his wife the truth after twenty years of fear and distance. If you care about veterans, first responders, medical professionals, or anyone wrestling with shame after hard choices, this conversation offers language, hope, and next steps. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find these stories of restoration.

    How Your Subconscious Patterns Shape Your Life with Transformational Coach Debbie Longo

    Send us Fan Mail Your life can look “fine” on the outside while an invisible pattern runs the whole show underneath. Today we get honest about the fear, doubt, worry, and control responses that kick in fast and leave us thinking, Why did I just do that? I’m joined by transformational coach Debbie Longo for a grounded, practical conversation about how patterns of behavior live in the subconscious mind and how we can finally bring them into the light. Debbie explains the brain with a simple ROM and RAM metaphor: old learned behaviors get stored like programs on a hard drive, then a trigger pulls them into your conscious mind where you act them out automatically. We talk about why those patterns follow you everywhere, from marriage and parenting to leadership, sales, and team culture, and why blaming other people keeps you stuck. We also draw a bright line between what coaching can safely do and when it’s time to go deeper with a licensed therapist, especially around trauma work. From there, we walk through how real behavior change happens: work backward from the reaction, name the emotion, identify the thought, and uncover the core belief. I share a personal story of how a childhood moment shaped my relationship with trust and control, and how reframing those beliefs with evidence and faith helped me build a new pathway. Debbie adds tools you can use immediately, including repetition, deep breathing, mantras, and short meditation practices that help your brain choose a new response. If you’re ready to stop living on autopilot and start rewiring the patterns that sabotage your peace, press play, share this with a friend, and subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next. After listening, will you leave a review and tell us which pattern you’re choosing to change?

    Dancing Through Breast Cancer Into Purpose with Podcast Host Jenny C. Cohen

    Send us Fan Mail A breast cancer diagnosis can feel like the end of the story, but sometimes it is the interruption that saves your life. I sit down with Jenny C. Cohen, an award-winning dancer and author, to talk about what happened when her career was taking off and everything suddenly stopped. Her path moves through chemo, fear, grief, and a hard reckoning with control, then lands in something quieter and stronger: presence, surrender, and purpose that is rooted in love instead of performance. We also go into the parts people rarely say out loud, like the anger that can rise when your child is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, the spiral of asking “why,” and the moment you realize your vigilance cannot keep everyone alive. Jenny shares how embodiment and movement helped her stay connected to God when words felt impossible, and we explore why many high achievers use busyness to avoid what is actually being asked of them. From religion trauma to rebuilding faith around relationship, we talk about daily practices that support spiritual growth and mental clarity. Sleep becomes a surprisingly practical theme, including sleep apnea, bedtime resistance, and why rest is not laziness, it is leadership. If you have been stuck in fear, doubt, or over-functioning for everyone else, this conversation is a direct invitation to pause for presence, stop piloting other people’s planes, and remember you are already beloved.
