A HOLY MESS - CHRISTIAN, ANXIOUS, REGRET, SHAME, GRIEF, AA
Welcome to A HOLY MESS, a safe place for you! Great at taking care of business but struggle taking care of you? You’re in the right place! Does your life look pretty good on the outside, but inside, you’re struggling? I’m here to help. If you’ve been feeling stuck, lost, exhausted, tired, or just drowning in a life that seems unfulfilling, broken, or like something is missing, THIS is the podcast for you. I’m bringing you the absolute raw, unfiltered, and authentic truth. Together, we will figure out how you can learn to thrive through the drama and trauma of life. Even as Christians who sometimes feel unworthy and shame about our past, anxious about our future, or feel like we are not enough. There is so much more for us! There’s hope, joy, peace, fun, purpose, and a reason that YOU are on this planet. We CAN have fun and laugh while trudging through our messes; this stuff doesn’t need to be dry and boring! We will dig into finding freedom in our mess, tactical tools to help in our daily lives, and amazing guests, too! ”Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.”-Psalm 84:5 I can’t wait to journey with you!

Hey, my friend!
Let's get real for a minute. Life is hard. It's messy, it's complicated, and sometimes it feels like we're drowning in a sea of grief, shame, and anxiety. But here's the thing: life is also beautiful. It's a crazy, wonderful, "brutiful" journey—as I once heard it said, and we're all in this together.
I know what it's like to feel like you're not enough, to carry the weight of your past mistakes, and to wonder if you...

Hi friend,
I used to think meditation was so "woo-hoo" or "new agey" until I started doing it and realized what a holy and fantastic practice it could be!
It doesn't have to be intimidating or be 20 minutes a day. You can do a short one in 30 seconds.
The more I practice, the more it helps. It's funny how things work that way.
Also, doors are open to The Feel Better Journey--my group coaching and mentoring program! Or aka, "Dani...
Hi there!
I've struggled with simple routines for years...until recently!
And I have to say, routines and systems in place can be a gift and lifesaver, especially if you're in a struggling season (or a struggling lifetime, haha. More on that another day. Rome wasn't built in day! ;)
Simple tools, like an evening routine, are a simple way to thrive and make life a wee-bit more enjoyable and manageable.
If you don't have an evening...

Hi friend,
If you sometimes struggle to prioritize yourself, I hope this episode blesses you.
Sometimes, when we try to care for ourselves, we feel guilty or selfish. I know many of us were never taught to care for ourselves in a soul-nourishing way. But I have found that when we learn this skill, we become a better help for the people in our lives that Jesus has around us.
This year, we will talk more about healing this relation...

Hello friend!
In my program, The Feel Better Journey, we unpack several concepts to find meaning and purpose in our lives and ultimately feel better! We don't just talk about these concepts in the program; we apply and practice them. That's why it works.
The program aims to help empower us all to thrive through life, not just 'survive' life.
In today's episode, I thought I would share one of those concepts—we take time to unpack ...
