299:Calm the Conductor: The Symphony Framework for Your Hormones

You feel closer to God than you've ever been. Your faith is sturdy. And your body is falling apart anyway.What's wrong with you?Nothing. Your body keeps the score.Dr. Tabatha and Ashlee sit down with Lindsey Welch - wife of entrepreneur and podcast host Taylor Welch, mother, business owner, woman of deep faith - for a conversation about immovable faith. Not faith that never feels fear. Faith that gets tested and keeps choosing God anyway.Lindsey held her family together while her husband's business faced public scrutiny and an FTC investigation. She prayed. She worked. She stayed calm on the outside.Then a biofeedback test came back with nine autoimmune markers. Her estrogen and progesterone - the hormones that regulate mood, energy, and her cycle - were gone. Her serotonin, the brain chemical that stabilizes mood, was burned through completely.In the middle of it, she heard God speak. Clearly. "Remember when you built this house? I had you write scripture on the walls. If you keep going, your daughter is watching, and she is going to fall the way you learned it in your family line. You need to break this cycle."She broke it. It took eight months.This episode is for the woman in the car who can't make herself go inside yet. For the one holding her family together and wondering who's holding her. For anyone who has believed God is good and still felt afraid.Closing scripture: 1 John 4:18 - "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear."You're doing everything right. You're praying. You're trying. You're seeking answers.And exhaustion and overwhelm are still running your day.Here's the truth no one's told you: that's not a lack of faith or a lack of effort. It's a body carrying more than it was ever meant to carry alone. LAY IT DOWN — a live 3-hour event with Dr. Tabatha: https://fasttofaithlive.com/layitdown Your healing story is someone else's roadmap.And if you are still in the middle of your own - you need this too.If you have ever wondered what it would look like to turn your transformation into your calling - Day 2 of Dr. Tabatha's free 3-day masterclass From Stuck to Free was built for you.May 26-28. 12PM EST.

 300 episodes ago, Dr. Tabatha started with one idea: your body is not broken. Today she and Ashlee open up about six years of change, the problem with the word "awakening," and the Awaken, Restore, Rise framework carrying Fast to Faith forward. You are not broken. You can heal. You're in the right place.In this Episode:  ●        300 episodes in, Dr. Tabatha and Ashlee pull back the curtain on the story underneath every conversation: you are not broken, and you can heal. ●        Six years of evolution — from The Functional Gynecologist to The Gutsy Gynecologist to Fast to Faith — and what changed when they stopped working for God and started working with Him. ●        The real story behind the first 50 episodes: Garage Band, hours of editing out nervous "ums," and showing up scared anyway. ●        Dr. Tabatha is joining Candace Cameron Bure on an 8-city tour — the next chapter of using her voice. ●        The problem with the word "awakening" — why the aha moment isn't the finish line, and what happens when the momentum runs out. ●        Unpacking the three-act story of Fast to Faith: Awaken, Restore, Rise — and why you don't move through all three at once. ●        What "Rise" actually looks like, and why the Coaching Academy isn't just for women building a business. ●        Why you'll never feel ready, and why that's not the sign to wait. ●        Closing scripture: Joel 2:25. You're doing everything right. You're praying. You're trying. You're seeking answers.And exhaustion and overwhelm are still running your day.Here's the truth no one's told you: that's not a lack of faith or a lack of effort.

What does building three businesses from a small town in Wyoming have to do with healing your hormones? Everything.In this episode, Dr. Tabatha sits down with her dear friend and faith-driven entrepreneur Tamatha Grabin to talk about the thing most women never realize -- the pattern of hustle that's running your business is the same pattern that's burning out your body.Tamatha has spent 25+ years building businesses with purpose. She founded a traveling nurse agency, grew it, and sold it. She built babyriddle.com before online boutiques were a thing. She runs deSensua, an essential oil company that reaches customers nationwide -- all from Buffalo, Wyoming.But this conversation isn't really about business. It's about what happens when you stop grinding long enough to actually hear God. IN THIS EPISODE:-       Why hustle is a healing block -- not just a business problem-       How letting go of old patterns creates space for what God actually has for you-       The parallel between business seasons and hormonal seasons -- and why your old strategies won't work on your new body-       What perseverance actually looks like when you can't see the other side-       Legacy -- what you're passing to your daughters by how you care for yourself right now-       The quiet counter-move to anxiety: why stillness creates clarity CLOSING SCRIPTURE:James 1:2-4 -- "Consider it pure joy whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." CONNECT WITH TAMATHA:Instagram: @tamatha_grabinFacebook: @tamathagrabinBaby Riddle: babyriddle.com | Instagram: @babyriddle_Use code FAITH15 for 15% off at babyriddle.comEssential oils: deSensua.comYou're doing everything right.

She lost nearly 100 pounds. And the shame stayed.That's where Leanne Ellington's story starts — and where most women's healing has never actually begun.
