276. Clear the Chaos: A New Year Inventory of Home, Health, Calendar, and Kids for Busy Women

Are your hormones out of balance? Many women over 35 experience weight gain, belly fat, fatigue, sleep issues, and mood swings—even when they are eating healthy and exercising. In this episode of The Well Podcast, Kari Davis breaks down why hormone imbalance happens for women in their late 30s and 40s+, including the role of cortisol, stress, metabolism changes, and lifestyle factors. You'll learn why your body may feel different than it did in your 20s and what you can begin doing naturally to support hormone balance. Kari also invites listeners to an upcoming Hormone Balance Masterclass for women 35–55, where she will teach deeper strategies for nutrition, exercise, cortisol reduction, and essential oil support.  REGISTER HERE:    

What if the pressure isn't on you to hold everything together… because God already is? In this deeply encouraging episode, Kari shares powerful reflections from the FALLEN & FREE/ Held Conference — a grace-filled reminder that no part of your story has ever slipped through God's hands. If you've been carrying shame, regret, control, or exhaustion, this message will gently remind you that you are fully known, fully loved, and forever held by a supernatural God who never lets go. This conversation explores: • Why salvation began long before we ever realized it • How God holds the parts of us we're ashamed of • The truth about regret, control, and grace • Why grace is full exposure met with redemption — not denial • How God meets us at our deepest point of need • The freedom found when we finally let go and trust His grip You'll be encouraged to release the pressure to be perfect, surrender the parts of your story you try to hide, and rest in the truth that God's love doesn't flinch — even when life feels messy and uncertain. Because the reality is this: You have never been unheld. And you never will be. This episode is especially for the woman who feels overwhelmed, burdened by past mistakes, or afraid she's too broken to be fully loved. God's grip is invincible, eternal, and full of grace — and it includes every part of your story. Key Takeaways • God's grip on your life is invincible and eternal • You are fully known — not just the polished version of you • Grace meets us in exposure, not denial • Regret keeps score, but God's love never reassesses • Letting go of control reveals that He never let go Resources & Links LEARN MORE ABOUT FALLEN AND FREE : https://www.fallenandfree.com Tullian Tchividjian David Zahl John Blase Paul Zahl Steve Brown Sarah Condon Stacie Tchividjian Pat Thurmer VISIT www.THEWELLTEAM.COM for all coaching, digital courses, blogs and essential oil education tips!

As women, we pour out all day — into our families, our work, and our responsibilities. But true wellness begins when we intentionally refill our own cup. In this special Galentine's-inspired episode, Kari shares how essential oils can help regulate the nervous system, boost confidence, and support deeper emotional and relational connection. You'll learn how scent directly impacts the limbic system (the emotional brain), why stress can shut down desire and presence, and how simple essential oil rituals can help you feel calmer, more confident, and more connected in your everyday life. This episode is a gentle invitation to slow down, care for your body, and reconnect with yourself — emotionally, physically, and spiritually. ✨ Remember: You don't need to fix yourself. You need to tend to yourself. 🌿 What You'll Learn in This Episode Why scent is the fastest way to influence mood, stress, and hormones How essential oils support nervous system regulation and emotional safety The connection between stress, presence, and intimacy Oils that promote calm, confidence, femininity, and emotional connection Simple self-care rituals using essential oils Empowering reframes around desire, self-care, and worthiness 💖 Key Encouragement Desire isn't something you force — it's something you allow. When your body feels safe, rested, and cared for, connection naturally follows. You deserve to feel calm, confident, and connected — not someday, but now. 🧴 Featured Essential Oil Rituals & Blends • Self-Love Roller: Lavender + Rose/Jasmine + Frankincense • Confidence & Glow Roller: Bergamot + Ylang Ylang + Sandalwood • Connection Diffuser Blend: Ylang Ylang + Ginger + Cinnamon/Cardamom Use oils in simple daily rhythms to support emotional wellness, presence in your body, and deeper connection at home.

This is a sacred conversation. In today's episode, I sit down with Brittany Poppe, a coach whose story is marked by courage, honesty, and the relentless grace of God. Together, we talk about a topic that so many women carry quietly in their hearts—shame after abortion—and the life-changing truth that God's love never leaves us there. If you've ever wondered: Can God still love me after this? Why does this still hurt years later? How do I release the shame I've been carrying in silence? This episode is for you. Brittany shares her journey of walking through guilt, grief, and self-condemnation—and how God gently met her in those places, not with punishment, but with compassion, forgiveness, and restoration. We talk about how shame thrives in secrecy, how the enemy uses it to isolate women, and how God invites us into healing through truth, confession, and grace. This is not a conversation rooted in judgment or fear—but one grounded in the heart of the Gospel: That nothing is beyond redemption. That grace is deeper than regret. That you are not disqualified from love, purpose, or peace. If this topic feels heavy or tender for you, please know this episode was created with care. You are seen. You are loved. And healing is possible. Whether this is part of your story or someone you love, my prayer is that this conversation reminds you of one unshakable truth: God's grace is greater than our past—and His love is not fragile. You are not alone. You are not beyond hope. And your story is not over.   Connect with Brittany: www.brittanypoppe.com Hear the podcast: Abortion Recovery for Christian Women Instagram: www.instagram.com/brittanypoppe ____________________________________________________ Welcome to The Well Community!

Feeling overwhelmed as the new year begins? Before you add new goals, habits, or routines, this episode invites you to pause and take a life inventory—so you can move into the year with clarity instead of chaos. In this episode of The WELL Podcast, we walk through a simple but powerful inventory to help you identify what's truly serving you—and what's draining you in your everyday life. We explore: The products you're buying and using—and whether they support your health The foods that fuel your energy vs. contribute to bloating, fatigue, or inflammation The activities and commitments taking up your time and emotional space Your calendar and productivity rhythms—busy vs. purposeful Family and kids' schedules—what's life-giving vs. overwhelming This episode is not about doing more or fixing yourself. It's about awareness, alignment, and peace—so you can make intentional changes that actually last. If you're a woman or mom craving simplicity, clarity, and a calmer approach to wellness and life, this episode will help you reset with confidence and compassion. ✨ Grab a notebook, take a deep breath, and start the year grounded—not rushed.

What if your body isn't something to fix… but something to befriend? In this powerful and grounding conversation, I sit down with Dr. Brook Sheehan, host of the Your Body Speaks, to explore what it really means to live in rhythm with the body God designed. We talk about stepping out of hustle-driven health culture and into a slower, more intentional way of caring for ourselves—one rooted in listening, trust, and rest. ✨ In this episode, you'll hear about: Why relationship with your body matters more than rigid rules Simple "this or that" practices to notice what your body is asking for How to stop outsourcing your intuition and start tuning inward Why rest may be the most healing practice you're missing The surprising power of 7 minutes of silence a day How our cravings can reflect the way God created us—not something to fear What it looks like to honor being fearfully and wonderfully made This conversation is gentle, faith-filled, and deeply affirming—especially if you've felt disconnected from your body, overwhelmed by wellness noise, or stuck in go-go-go mode. If you're longing for more peace in your health journey… If you want to care for your body without striving… If you're ready to slow down and truly listen… 💛 This episode is for you. 🎧 Press play and let your body speak.  Email: [email protected]  Website: www.drbrooksheehan.com  Discover more: Learn from real stories and body insights on the your body speaks podcast.
