The Well Life Podcast

For years, many of us believed that exercise only "counted" if we worked out for at least 30 minutes at a time. If we couldn't fit in a full workout, we often did nothing at all.

The good news? Science has evolved.

In 2018, the U.S. Physical Activity Guidelines were updated based on years of research showing that movement doesn't have to happen in 10-, 20-, or 30-min...

We often discuss goals, planning and systems. In a recent episode we talked about visualization, dreaming, and vision. Today, we want to activate what you know and hopefully move you towards asking yourself the right questions, making the right shifts that move you to becoming the person who will realize these dreams and visions. 

I was recently at an all-day conference that asked some really good questions that I think will ...

Think of fascia as your body's internal webbing.

It is a continuous network of connective tissue that surrounds and supports every muscle, bone, nerve, organ, and blood vessel in your body. If you could remove everything except the fascia, you would still see the shape of the human body.

Fascia provides:

• Stability and movement

Have you suddenly noticed your shoulder becoming painful and stiff—without any injury? If you're in your 40s or 50s, especially during perimenopause or menopause, you're not alone.

SUMMER STRESS DETOX 

Summer is often portrayed as a season of relaxation, sunshine, vacations, and carefree living. But for many, summer can feel just as busy and stressful as every other season.

There are family obligations, travel plans, social events, caregiving responsibilities, work demands, and the constant pressure to keep up with everyone's needs.

So, let’s talk about something many of us need but rarely prioriti...

Visualization is nothing more than the formation of mental visual images 

Visualization is not "manifesting" or wishing things into existence. Rather, it is intentionally focusing the mind on God's truth and the future He is calling us toward. 

"Your conscious mind chooses the destination. Your subconscious mind drives the vehicle. Visualization helps ensure they're traveling in the same direction."

You Don't Need a New Year to Make a New Start 

Can you believe we're already halfway through the year? June marks the midpoint of the year, and it's the perfect time to pause, reflect, and ask ourselves an important question:

How am I doing with the goals I set for my health and wellness?

Not how I hoped I'd be doing. Not how I planned to be doing.

But honestly—how am I doing right now?

Many pe...

And right now… we are in one of those moments.”

Glenda - Where am I Right Now? 

“I’m in a season of building, stretching, and honestly—becoming.

My one word that God gave me for...

Heart rate variability measures the time intervals between heartbeats — a direct window into how your nervous system balances stress and recovery. Those fluctuations reflect the balance between your sympathetic system (fight or flight) and parasympathetic system (rest and repair).

It reflects how well the autonomic nervous system (which is sympathetic and parasympathetic) manages stress and recovery, serving as a key marker f...

Cleansing, renewal, flow, rest, and stewardship of the body is how God designed the human body systems to function. 

Spiritual cleansing 

“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.”

Connection: “Just like David asked God to cleanse his heart, our bodies were also designed with systems that cleanse us daily—physically and spiritually.”
