The name of the book is The Sunday Reset. 60 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 3: And Donna has been with me painstakingly since the very 61 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 3: beginning of this book journey. If you haven't listened to 62 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 3: our first podcast episode, hopefully Donna will link in the 63 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 3: show notes because y'all can go back and listen. But 64 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 3: Donna literally has coached me almost in launching a book 65 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 3: and what that looks like. 66 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 2: But the Sunday Reset, all that is to say is 67 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 2: for the. 68 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 3: Busy, overwhelmed lady or mom who just feels like your 69 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 3: week is running you instead of you getting to have 70 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 3: the intentional I guess just like way of your own week, 71 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 3: the way the Lord designed it to be. So we 72 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 3: talk all about mind, body and spirit health, which I 73 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 3: talk a lot about on my podcast called Healthy by 74 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 3: Heather Brown. 75 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 2: But what I found on I was a lot of 76 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 2: times when. 77 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 3: You talked about mind, body and spirit health it went 78 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 3: very like woo woo or like off in the weeds 79 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 3: and not really how God designed your health. So in 80 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 3: this book, I get to unpack what does the Bible 81 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 3: say about your physical, mental, and spiritual health, and then 82 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 3: what a science say about that? Which is great to 83 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 3: have that head knowledge, but then I wanted to take 84 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 3: it a step further and be like, practically, how can 85 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 3: we play that out in our lives? And so I 86 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 3: really try to walk women through a framework to do that. 87 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 3: In the Sunday reset, Okay, that is so good, and 88 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 3: this is so funny that you just said you feel 89 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 3: like your week is running you rather than you are 90 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 3: running your week, and Heather, this was not planned, but 91 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 3: I was actually thinking about that this morning because I 92 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 3: was thinking I have all these ridiculous to dos, like 93 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 3: way too many than I can actually get done today. 94 00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 2: But they are all things I hate. 95 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: There little details, I mean, it's just the stuff you 96 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: have to get taken care of. Right, every woman can 97 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: relate to this, But I was just thinking, like, gosh, 98 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: I feel like my week is running me rather than 99 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: me running my week. So I'm super excited about you 100 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: know what you have to say. And I love this 101 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: whole mind, body, spirit integration because that is just so 102 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: important and we don't want it to be woo woo 103 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: like you said. 104 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 2: No, we don't. 105 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 3: And I was laughing Donna, because when you said that, 106 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 3: I'm like, my little pink sticky note is staring at 107 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 3: me with all my to do today as well. 108 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: And you know what, everybody listening is like, me too, 109 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: me too. Oh my gosh. We're all in this together. 110 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 2: Right, We really are. We really are. 111 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 3: But I do feel like it's important to say that 112 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 3: first of all, like this whole premise came out of 113 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 3: Mark twelve thirty through thirty one, which is you shall 114 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 3: love the Lord your God with all your heart and 115 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 3: with all your soul, and with all your mind, and 116 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 3: with all your strength. And you shall love your neighbor 117 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,559 Speaker 3: as yourself, because I know that for me as a mom, 118 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 3: I have two little boys, y'all, I'm just a little 119 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 3: bit of a background. I married my college sweetheart. We've 120 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 3: been married for coming up on seventeen years. I have 121 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 3: a ten year old and a seven year old, and y'all, 122 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 3: it is so easy as a mom to just put 123 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 3: yourself last. And so I think that it's so interesting, 124 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 3: especially for women, that that Bible verse is phrase love 125 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 3: your neighbor as yourself, because so often we almost like 126 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 3: neglect our own relationship with the Lord. We neglect our 127 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 3: relationship with the body he's given us with a mind 128 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 3: he's given us. And so even though we think we're 129 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 3: being so selfless to eat the goldfish crumbs and it 130 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 3: just keep hustling and to get our kids everywhere they 131 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 3: need to be. 132 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 2: Ultimately, what our. 133 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 3: Creator is saying is, though, like, you're a daughter of mine, 134 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 3: and I don't want to see my daughter on empty 135 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 3: and I don't want to see you running yourself ragged. 136 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 3: I want you to slow down and take the time 137 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 3: to refill with me so that we can operate out 138 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 3: of that overflow for our family. And I think that 139 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 3: it is so easy to get so distracted by the 140 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 3: hustle and the do lists and all the things. So 141 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 3: that's why I was like, if I need this book 142 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 3: this desperately. I feel like so many American women do too. 143 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, And you know what, Heather, because you've got, 144 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: you know, young kids that are in elementary school. But 145 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: I'm thinking about the mom that has teenagers and she's like, 146 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: oh my goodness, they are running me ragged, or like me, 147 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: the Sandwich generation where you have kids but then you 148 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: have aging parents, so you're like trying to take care 149 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: of both ends and then it's like, whoa, what about 150 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: I don't even have a hot nanosecond to think about myself, 151 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: Like a lot of women are in that situation too, 152 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: So it's it's all seasons where we can fall prey 153 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: to this. So Heather, we're going to take a quick 154 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: break and when we come back, I'm just super excited 155 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: because you're going to walk us through how to practically 156 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: make this real for us. So we'll be right back 157 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: after the break. Okay, So Heather, you are going to 158 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: help us do this Sunday reset so that we are, 159 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: you know, taking charge of our week rather than are 160 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: week taking charge of us. Walk us through like just 161 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: a first step, like how can an overwhelmed woman, how 162 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: can she kind of get a grasp on this so 163 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: that she does have space for her own time, relationship 164 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: with the Lord, her own caring of her physical body. 165 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 2: You know that kind of a thing. 166 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 3: Absolutely, so, Donna, I think that you'll probably appreciate this too, 167 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 3: that every woman is obviously going to be slightly different. 168 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 3: But I'll tell you that the book opens up with 169 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 3: what I call the foundations of the Sunday Reset. And 170 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 3: the first thing that I have you do is, and 171 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 3: actually I didn't mention this earlier, but the book is 172 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 3: not only a book. 173 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 2: It's actually a work book. 174 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 3: So there's tons of space for you to take notes 175 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 3: and write down, like what the Lord's speaking to you. 176 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 3: I have prayers written out in their space for you 177 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 3: to pray through what you feel like the Lord has 178 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 3: for you. But ultimately, the first step is to you 179 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 3: spend time with the Lord and you ask him, like, Lord, 180 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 3: if I'm opening up my week or my day or 181 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 3: this season to you, what does that look like like? 182 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 3: How do I envision the perfect day the way that 183 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 3: you have designed for me and according to the calling 184 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 3: you put on my life? And I think that that's 185 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 3: such a powerful reframing because, like we said, if we 186 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 3: don't ever take the time to slow down and hear 187 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 3: me say, I know that might mean that you have 188 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 3: to communicate with your husband, or communicate with the grandparents, 189 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 3: or communicate with whoever, and tell them, listen, Can I 190 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 3: take this Sunday afternoon after church? Or can I take 191 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 3: this Monday night and go to a coffee shop or 192 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 3: somewhere where you can be quiet before the Lord and 193 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 3: just ask him what would my perfect day look like 194 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 3: if I could orchestrate it. What would that look like? 195 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 3: How would you then work that into these tiny crevices. 196 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 3: If I'm saying that my priority is you, but I'm 197 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 3: not seeing that in my week, Lord, give me the 198 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 3: vision to see in my calendar where I can put 199 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 3: in time with You, where I can put in time 200 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 3: with things that refill me the way that you design 201 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 3: me to. One of the things that I talk about 202 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 3: a lot is how unfortunately in this current culture, God 203 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 3: designed us to be outside in nature in the sunlight, 204 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 3: But unfortunately we as humans are under artificial for us 205 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 3: at light inside a lot. And God designed us to 206 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 3: eat whole, real foods that he designed for us in nature. Well, 207 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 3: unfortunately a lot of times we end up eating foods 208 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 3: that have lots of fake things in it that are 209 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 3: not going to fuel your body to feel good. And 210 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 3: unfortunately we spend so much time scrolling our Instagram or 211 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 3: our Facebook or TikTok or whatever your vice is, maybe 212 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 3: it's television, instead of spending time in God's word. So 213 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 3: just as asking him, Lord, what is your desire for me? 214 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 3: How am I wasting time? How am I not being 215 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 3: a good steward of what You've given me? And then 216 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 3: really starting to then say, and Lord, what is my why? 217 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 3: Like why do I want to live healthier, be healthier, 218 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 3: be a great mom, be a great grandmother, and really 219 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 3: like stacking those small little habits time after time and 220 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 3: then starting to see, okay, have I asked the right questions? 221 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 3: Which I take you through all the questions in the workbook, 222 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 3: and then just starting to like let the Lord do 223 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 3: the work because unfortunately I really do feel like, I mean, 224 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 3: for non believer, it's unfortunate. For us as believers is fortunate, 225 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 3: but like it's too much. There's too much going on 226 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 3: in our world, and we need him to show us 227 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 3: where the holes are, what we could cut out. Are 228 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 3: there relationships that aren't benefiting us? Are there times that 229 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 3: like maybe we thought it was okay to watch this 230 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 3: thing because it's not bad. But if it's not serving 231 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 3: you the best in the season for what you need 232 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 3: in the time with him, then actually maybe it is bad. 233 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 3: So it's really kind of getting honest with yourself and 234 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 3: those deep questions about what the Lord has for you. 235 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: Okay, that is so good. And you know what I 236 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 1: love about this is that I think in the back 237 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: of our mind we all want to be in charge 238 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: of our own life. We only get one life, right, 239 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: and we want to live it the best that we can. 240 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: But to your point, sometimes we just get caught up 241 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: in the rat race. We need a pause, a reset 242 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: to go whoa, whoa, whoa? What do I really want? 243 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: What does God really want for me? Not just what 244 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: do I want? But Lord, what do you have for me? 245 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 2: And I love the. 246 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: Fact though, that you've written this book because sometimes we 247 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: need other people to kind of walk us through, hold 248 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: our hand and go, Okay, ask these questions, think about this. 249 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: How could you reframe that or reschedule this? And that's 250 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: what your book does, your friend that takes us by 251 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: the hand and says, here's the questions that you ask 252 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: so that you can have the life you were meant 253 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: to live the wife God meant for you to have. 254 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,319 Speaker 2: I love that absolutely, Donna. 255 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 3: And I think also that one of the things that 256 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 3: I walk people through is kind of just identifying, like 257 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 3: who in your life you have the time to pour 258 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 3: into and maybe kind of realizing, like my husband and 259 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 3: I have to revisit this conversation often of we almost 260 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 3: call it like your circles of your people, Like you 261 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 3: have you and God in the center of the circle. 262 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 3: Then it goes out to like you and your husband 263 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 3: and your immediate family. Then it's maybe your family or 264 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 3: your people that are like you know, they're your small group, 265 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 3: they're your inner circle, and really thinking about how much 266 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 3: time am I pouring into those people and how much 267 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 3: time do I have to pour in and am I 268 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 3: prioritizing correctly? But all that to say that, honestly, if 269 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 3: it weren't for my husband and for you listening to this, 270 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 3: like sometimes you're almost like so close to what you 271 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 3: do day to day that I even have to ask 272 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 3: my husband, like can you help hold me accountable where 273 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 3: I am taking the time to Sunday reset, Like I 274 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 3: need your help with protecting this time and like getting 275 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 3: me isolated to do. 276 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 2: This week after week. 277 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 3: I also need you to help me see when I'm 278 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 3: out of balance and I don't realize it. 279 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 2: And those two things have. 280 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 3: Been life changing in my own personal day to day 281 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 3: and in my journey of I mean, I say staying balance, 282 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 3: but really, like you said, it's not that anyone ever 283 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 3: says in perfect balance, but that I can at least 284 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 3: hit the reset button and be intentional about it. 285 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: Okay, that's good, because there are some weeks that are 286 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: just crazy. I mean, as much as we could like 287 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: to schedule things, life happens. And that's part of what 288 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: God allows to do our lives is these interruptions. But 289 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: we don't want to live in such a way. And see, 290 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: this is where I think a lot of women, it's 291 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: what happens to us is that there's so many interruptions 292 00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: that we actually never get to the important thing. We 293 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: only get to the interruptions. So we need to learn 294 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: how to navigate that in a wise way. 295 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 2: Absolutely, And girl, I'm like Donna. 296 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 3: As you were talking, it made me think, like one 297 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 3: of the things that I say on there is that 298 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 3: if it's not on the calendar for me, it's not 299 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 3: going to happen. 300 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 2: Because it's like I need the constant reminders. 301 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 3: I even have, like every Wednesday, a repeating event that says, 302 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 3: put down your phone and go check in on the boys. 303 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 3: And it's like, I shouldn't have to do that, but 304 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 3: I am human and I need to not be distracted 305 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 3: by the fifty incoming messages that I get every Wednesday 306 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 3: because of soccer or small group or whatever it is. 307 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 3: It's like, no, that is not What I've named is 308 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 3: important to me is the interruptions.

Now it's habit, 326 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 3: But it's like, think about those little triggers that you 327 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 3: could put in your calendar to help you stay on track. 328 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 3: Maybe it's your phone goes on do not disturb every 329 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 3: day from two to five pm. Thinking of those little 330 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 3: tweaks you can make in your day to day to 331 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 3: get really practical about what's important to you. 332 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: Okay, these are great suggestions because they're really practical, doable 333 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: things that I would not honestly have even thought of, Heather, 334 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: apart from you saying some of this stuff. 335 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 2: So that's that's so great. Okay. 336 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: One of the things I wanted to ask you is 337 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: about chronic stress, because I know that there are a 338 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: lot of women that really are managing so much emotionally, physically, 339 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: spiritually that they live in chronic stress. So talk to 340 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: us a little bit about how that impacts our mood, 341 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 1: our relationships, you know, our motherhood, our faith. 342 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 343 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 3: Absolutely, So let me first just say I raise my hand, 344 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,479 Speaker 3: and I even say in the book like I am 345 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 3: a work in progress on this, because y'all, it is 346 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 3: hard like I was actually talking with my chiropractroid naturopath 347 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 3: who isn't even a believer, and he was telling me that, 348 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 3: and I might get the numbers wrong, but he was 349 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 3: saying something about the human body is designed to take 350 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 3: in I want to say. He said something like thirty 351 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 3: inputs per day, Like thirty, Well, now you take modern emails, 352 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:56,239 Speaker 3: text messages, friends, neighbors, I mean, Instagram, TikTok like you 353 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 3: name it. Think about the amount of inputs we get 354 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 3: in a day. If it's not hung its thousands, it's insane. 355 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 3: And the human body, even from a non believing perspective, 356 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 3: was not designed for that. And so what that does 357 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 3: is it puts your nervous system in There's two different 358 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 3: phases that can be in that I'll talk about today, 359 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 3: and that is either rest and digest, which is what 360 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 3: God designed to help your body decompress, to destress, to. 361 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 2: Know like we're not in danger. 362 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 3: And then there's obviously like the super stressed out phase. However, 363 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 3: the problem is that our body, unless we tell it 364 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 3: to destress, we turn on that button and it doesn't 365 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 3: know how to turn off anymore. So like you almost 366 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 3: get caught in that super high stress state and you 367 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:46,719 Speaker 3: stay there all day. 368 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 2: If you're me. 369 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 3: This is actually something like on a health journey I'm 370 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 3: currently working on. I feel like it's fairly common knowledge 371 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 3: that cortisol is a stress hormone, and they said when 372 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 3: I did my most recent labs, they told me, Heather, 373 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 3: your cortisol isn't high. Your cortisol is actually low because 374 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 3: you have fired it so much for so many years 375 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 3: that it just said, screw it, I give up. My 376 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 3: body is now in low cortisol because I have just 377 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 3: run on stress for so long. 378 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 2: And so the hardest chapters of the. 379 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 3: Book for me to write personally were the chapters on 380 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 3: assessing your stress and then how to deal with your stress, 381 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 3: because that's something that I personally struggle with. So I'm 382 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 3: actually currently going through this course if you can link 383 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 3: it down below on if you want to our reference 384 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 3: on the book, but it's the account on Instagram is 385 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 3: life Dot with Kate, and she has a program called 386 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 3: New Year, New You, and she talks a lot about 387 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 3: stress response and what that looks like. However, one of 388 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 3: the things that I would say is that if you're 389 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 3: listening to this and you're like, yeah, that's me, I'm 390 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 3: also stressed. 391 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 2: All the time. 392 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 3: You need to know that number one, sleep is so 393 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 3: important and if you are not getting good sleep, like 394 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 3: they're are so many things that you can look into 395 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 3: to start doing to help with that. I won't go 396 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 3: into all that here because it's a whole different tangent, 397 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 3: but that sleep is so important to help your body 398 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 3: be able to power down. And literally God has built 399 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 3: within us the sleep mechanism to repair, like your body 400 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 3: repairs when you are sleeping. I mean, like the science 401 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 3: that I like studied your while I was writing this 402 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 3: whole section, I was just like mind blown, Like Lord, 403 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 3: you are so cool. 404 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 2: How you have designed this to work. 405 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 3: And there's even science about how when you pray or 406 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 3: you meditate on God's word, like how it physically like 407 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 3: lowers your blood pressure when you sing, when you hum, 408 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 3: you activate the vegus nerve. And so I'm like, Lord, 409 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 3: and you design worship and you like build all these 410 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 3: things into us to help us combat stress. And so 411 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 3: I think it's kind of just learning what does stress 412 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 3: you out how can you minimize it? 413 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 2: And before you say like, well, I don't know how, 414 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 2: and you know. 415 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 3: Da da da da, because I was you too, I thought, like, 416 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 3: I just love us stressful life. I do, but God 417 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 3: has also given us tools within our body to help 418 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 3: us lower it down. So the thing that I'm currently 419 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 3: working on and we can actually do this together, Donna, 420 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 3: if you want you on the podcast, okay, let's do it. 421 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: By the way, I have no idea what I just said. 422 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 1: Let's do it too. 423 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 2: You're like, what are we doing? Is that going to 424 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,360 Speaker 2: raise my stress? Is raising my stress? Live? 425 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: No? 426 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 2: No, no, no, it's not stressful. I promise it's gonna 427 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 2: be chill. 428 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 3: You're actually gonna be like, oh so glad I did that. 429 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 3: So everybody, if you're listening to this, I want you 430 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 3: to take one hand. I want you to place it 431 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 3: on your heart, and I want you to take one 432 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 3: hand and place it on your belly. And what we're 433 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 3: gonna do is called box breathing. And so you're literally 434 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 3: just gonna breathe like the shape of a box. So 435 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 3: if you're watching this, you can see me say like, 436 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 3: here's the top corner of your box. Or you could 437 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 3: look at a doorframe, you could look at a picture 438 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 3: frame in your house. You're gonna inhale the top of 439 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 3: the box. You're gonna hold it when you go down 440 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 3: the side of the box. You're gonna exhale when you 441 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,479 Speaker 3: go across the box, and then you're gonna hold it 442 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 3: up to the top of the box again. So I'm 443 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,719 Speaker 3: gonna guide you guys through it, and we'll do it together, 444 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 3: just for a few cycles, just so you can see 445 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 3: what it's like. But this is something that I do 446 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 3: every day as I'm falling asleep, if not more, to 447 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 3: help with my stress. 448 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 2: So we can all do it together. Are you ready? 449 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 3: So we're gonna inhale two three four and then hold 450 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 3: two three four and then exhale two three four and 451 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 3: then hold your breath to three four. Inhale one two 452 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 3: three four and then hold your breath two three four 453 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 3: and then exhale push it out strong three four and 454 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 3: then hold your breath two three four. Okay, you can 455 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 3: release your hands down. Don't you feel calmer? I'm like 456 00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 3: I do, so do I It's like, okay, Lord, literally 457 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 3: you gave us the power of breath, and I think 458 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 3: like you read in Genesis how he breathed life into Adam, 459 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 3: and it's like literally from the beginning he talks about breath, 460 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 3: and then we get to see how when you utilize 461 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 3: your breath to calm your nervous system, it's like God, 462 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 3: it's like you knew what you were doing. Go figure, 463 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,959 Speaker 3: Like I didn't even know if I answered your initial question. 464 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 3: But yes, there is chronic stress. Yes it is rampant. 465 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 3: And I truly do believe that the Lord has given 466 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 3: us tools that he set up in scripture, like breathing, 467 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 3: meditating on his word. Sometimes when I'm doing this, I'll 468 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 3: even inhale and say the beginning of a Bible verse 469 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 3: and exhale and say the second half of the Bible verse. 470 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 3: You can sing, turn on worship music that stimulates your 471 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,479 Speaker 3: bagus nerves, that helps you calm down. But it's almost 472 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 3: like finding these micro moments in your day that you 473 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 3: can start to relieve the stress, even when you're driving 474 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,959 Speaker 3: or even as you're going to bed. And I actually 475 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 3: find that when I box breathe, I fall asleep faster too. 476 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 2: Okay, gosh, this is really practical. That's so simple. 477 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: That's not like, oh, I have to carve out an 478 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: hour of my day to do something that's going to 479 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: help me decompress. I mean that literally took seconds. And 480 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: you know something else that I read Heather, is that 481 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: extra water lower stress, so that if you're feeling this 482 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: chronic stress, grab some water. Obviously we should be drinking 483 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 1: lots of water anyway, but that's an additional thing. 484 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 2: So I love. 485 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 3: This absolutely, and Donna, I will say too, while we're 486 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 3: talking about water. If you guys are not familiar, this 487 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 3: is just a good tangible takeaway too. But I keep 488 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 3: a saucer of high quality salt, so you could get 489 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 3: like Celtic salt or the Redman's Real Salt or something 490 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 3: like that. And I keep a little like pretty white 491 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 3: and gold glass container in my kitchen, and every time 492 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 3: I walk through the kitchen, I grab a pinch of it, 493 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 3: I put it on my tongue and I take a 494 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 3: sip of water. And that's making sure that you're saying 495 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 3: hydrated at a cellular level versus just peeing it all out. 496 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 3: So a lot of times people think like, well, I 497 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 3: drank sixty four ounces of water, eighty ounce of water, 498 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 3: whatever your goal is, but they still feel that sluggish 499 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 3: or tired, and they aren't actually fully hydrating their body 500 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 3: because your body also needs those minerals. So that's another 501 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,919 Speaker 3: souper simple tip that you'll be shocked. This is all 502 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 3: so interesting to me, but because like the Lord gives us. 503 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 3: Also the Bible verses about salt and light, and so 504 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 3: we just did a study on this in my church 505 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 3: and I loved hearing how it's like again, God designed 506 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 3: salt and light and he talks about in the Bible. 507 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 3: And when you put that salt on your tongue, like 508 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 3: it almost gives you like this zing. You feel almost 509 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 3: like an instant zing, like a wake up in your body. 510 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 3: And what my chiropractor told me is that when you 511 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 3: put salt on, if you don't feel that zing or 512 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 3: then you know like, Okay, I've had enough, so I 513 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 3: don't really need any more minerals, Like I've kind of 514 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 3: done enough for today. So I just think that those 515 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 3: are so many like little itty bitty things that make 516 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 3: a difference day to day in my energy and at 517 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 3: my stress level. 518 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: Wow, this reminds me because here's a little personal thing. 519 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: So every time I go to the doctor, even like 520 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: the eye doctor, they will say, wow, you're dehydrated, and Heather, 521 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 1: I drink so much water, and I think it's because 522 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: that hydration is not going to the cellular levels. So 523 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: I've been doing like liquid IV, you know, but that's salty, right, 524 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: and so that's probably why. But so is just taking 525 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,239 Speaker 1: the salt in almost the same thing as doing the 526 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: liquid IV you know in your water? 527 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 2: Is it the same thing? Yes, I would argue I 528 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 2: wasna say. 529 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 3: I would argue as better because it's cheaper number one, 530 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 3: and number two, it doesn't have the added like fake 531 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 3: sugars or like dyes or preservatives like all those kind 532 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 3: of things, you know what I mean, Because salt is 533 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 3: a natural preservative. So I think that it's the best 534 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 3: way you can go. Okay, wow, I feel like I'm 535 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 3: warning so much. 536 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 2: I'm like, you don't know what you're getting into, did you. 537 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, my life is going to be so 538 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: great after this energy. 539 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 2: You're hilarious. 540 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 3: I'm like you're like, already is so great. You have 541 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 3: so much that you have taught me too. So I'm like, 542 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 3: don't act like I'm the only ones spread new info. 543 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 2: You are so wise. No, no, no, no, okay. 544 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: So, so since we're on this roll, walk us through 545 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 1: with maybe a few more tips like that that you 546 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: have learned to like lower our stress or help take 547 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: care of ourselves. And just like these are just really 548 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: simple ways. 549 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, super simple. 550 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 3: So we already talked about water, We already talked about 551 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 3: box breathing, We already talked about just turning on worship 552 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 3: music to change the atmosphere of your home or your car. 553 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 3: One thing that I'm kind of a little bit of 554 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 3: a nerd about is being barefoot. And I know that 555 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 3: that sounds crazy, but I actually really struggled with Planters fashi. 556 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 3: It was like, all of a sudden on Christmas Eve, 557 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 3: this was probably four years ago, I started having sharp 558 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 3: pain in my heel and I was just like, what 559 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 3: is this. Come to find out it was Planter's fasci itis. 560 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 3: If you have that also, usually it is worse in 561 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 3: the morning, like your first step out of the bed 562 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 3: can be really painful and you have shooting pain going up. 563 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 2: So I worked again with my chiropractor and naturopath. 564 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 3: He's at Archetype Health here in Birmingham, just so everybody knows. 565 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 3: He takes online clients if y'all want to check him out. 566 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 3: But he told me, he was like, I really want 567 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 3: you to start working on your foot strength. And I 568 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 3: was like what now, you know, Like. 569 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 2: I don't know what you're talking about. It I'm like, 570 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 2: I go to the gym, is that doing it? 571 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:40,239 Speaker 1: You know? 572 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 3: And he was like, well, you think about that when 573 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 3: people were walking, you know, back in Jesus' time or 574 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 3: like way back when they all pretty much either were 575 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 3: barefoot or they were wearing sandals that were very just flat, 576 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 3: low profile, like a few straps over their feet to 577 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 3: them the best that we know, the best that I know. 578 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 3: And also usually they were made out of natural materials. 579 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 3: So like trying to think of I'm like, y'all, please 580 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 3: don't quote me on this, look it up yourself. But 581 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 3: in my mind, I'm thinking like would it be like 582 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 3: a cow hide or leather or you know, just a 583 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 3: natural material. And so he was telling me number one, 584 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 3: I really want you to get away from heels, which 585 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 3: I was kind of like, I don't really wear heels 586 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 3: a ton. 587 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 2: I mean I might wear them on a date night. 588 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 3: But he told me that actually my tennis shoes that 589 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 3: I'm wearing are making my feet weaker, and I was 590 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 3: like what. So it turns out apparently that we're all 591 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 3: wearing these super cushiony like bouncy shoes that are supposed to, 592 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 3: you know, really elevate our workouts. And so on and 593 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 3: so forth, and he said that actually you probably want to, 594 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 3: if possible, be buying a He calls it a wide 595 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 3: toe box, so your feet and your toes can fully 596 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 3: splay out versus being cramped in a pointy toe. And 597 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 3: then also like, I try to walk outside in my 598 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 3: neighborhood bare on the sidewalk or the grass if at 599 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 3: all possible. And it's funny because I'm like, it really 600 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 3: is going back to the basics, Like didn't we all 601 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 3: run around barefoot when we were kids. Didn't think twice 602 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 3: about it, And so now my kids do the same thing. 603 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 3: And people will stop when I'm walking on my street 604 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 3: and be like, did. 605 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 2: You lose your shoes? You know, like they always have 606 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 2: a comment or whatever. 607 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: You're like, are you a hippie from you know, the 608 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: nineteen sixties you lost your way some hell. 609 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly exactly. 610 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 3: But anyway, I put more of the science in the 611 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 3: book about all this. But essentially what we learned though, 612 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 3: is that grounding is a real thing, and so there's 613 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 3: so much science about like ions and the way God 614 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 3: designed the earth and like even like how your feet 615 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 3: being planted on the earth is so good for you. 616 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 3: And so now all my shoes, I try to, for 617 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 3: the most part, get flat, wide toe box. And it's 618 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 3: so interesting, Donna, because now when I put on a 619 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 3: traditional shoe like an on Cloud or Nike or whatever, my. 620 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 2: Feet hurt almost within an hour. 621 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 3: I'm so uncomfortable in a normal shoe now, and I 622 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 3: think it's because my feet have gotten used to spreading 623 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 3: out and having that full range of mobility. And so anyway, 624 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 3: that's such a nerdy, like deep pull. But that was 625 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 3: what immediately came to mind when you asked. 626 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: Me, Hey, it's mind, body, spirit, It's the whole It's 627 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: the whole thing. Okay, as we are winding up here, 628 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: so let's talk to the gal who's like, Okay, this 629 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: is super fascinating, but I don't know if I have 630 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 1: the bandwidth or even the discipline to put some of 631 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: these things into practice. 632 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 2: So convince her. 633 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: Why this is really really important that she really starts 634 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: to embrace the importance of taking care of just her mind, 635 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: her body, her spirit, her soul. 636 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 2: Talk to that girlfriend, Yeah for sure. 637 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 3: So okay, friend, what I'd tell you is that I mean, 638 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 3: as a mom myself, I feel like what pings my 639 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 3: heart the most is I think about what I am 640 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 3: doing and what I'm living out is what my kids 641 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 3: see and think is normal. And so if my kids 642 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 3: see me putting myself last, me not fueling my body 643 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 3: with good food, they see me ignoring church community, they 644 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 3: see me not taking time to invest in friendships myself. 645 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 2: I don't invest in their father. I don't have date night. 646 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 3: I am just kind of like literally being their servant 647 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 3: and thinking that that is the best thing I could. 648 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 2: Do for them. 649 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 3: What am I teaching them that they should be like 650 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 3: as a mom and dad one day? And what am 651 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 3: I teaching them that they should do as a husband 652 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 3: or a wife one day? I think that that is 653 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 3: what cuts to me more than anything else, because I 654 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 3: want Leyton and Finn to grow up and to be 655 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 3: strong in their bodies and be able to protect their 656 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 3: wives and protect their babies, and to be just like, oh, 657 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 3: the church needs people to help out on the mission 658 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 3: trip or to help build a house and a low 659 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 3: income community, like they are mobile and agile and strong 660 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 3: and they can jump in and help. They can be 661 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 3: the protectors and the providers God called them to be. 662 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 3: And if they are mentally weak, if they are sucked 663 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 3: into TikTok, and then TikTok's going to serve them things 664 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 3: that they're not even looking for that are women that 665 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 3: they would make them less. But I've normalized I'm just 666 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 3: always scrolling on my phone. You don't need to be 667 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 3: present at dinner. You can just scroll and it's fine. 668 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 3: Or I've shown my children your daddy and I ever 669 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 3: go on date night and I don't prioritize him above you. 670 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 3: I hope one day that your marriage is like this 671 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 3: that makes me want to cry, Like that, to me 672 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 3: is all the motivation I need because Layton and Finn 673 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 3: means so much to me, and Eric, my husband, means 674 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 3: so much to me, and I feel like I feel 675 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 3: like I would be letting down the version of Heather 676 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,239 Speaker 3: that God created me to be for them. And so 677 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 3: I hope that you hear me say this, Mama as 678 00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 3: you're listening, or single lady or you know what, or 679 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 3: whoever is listening to this. It's not about like you 680 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 3: need to be so fit and you need to look a 681 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 3: certain way, you need to be a certain way. It 682 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,440 Speaker 3: is none of that. It truly is like God called 683 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,399 Speaker 3: you to live a life above reproach, and he called 684 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 3: you to live a life of abundant joy. And he 685 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 3: called you to live a life of being his servant 686 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 3: and loving him well. 687 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 2: And that means loving God and loving people well. 688 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,800 Speaker 3: And I truly believe that God set it up in 689 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,439 Speaker 3: the Bible and the way that we're meant to live. 690 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 3: And I just want to encourage you to come back 691 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 3: to that, Come back to who He's called you to be. 692 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:32,919 Speaker 2: Come back to the. 693 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,360 Speaker 3: Woman of God who is like just going to show 694 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 3: out at her church and to her kids and to 695 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 3: her husband how much he loves you.
