If you've been told that your depression is a life sentence, or you've found medications lacking in the magic they promised, then this is the conversation for you. We're putting under the microscope the flawed logic that has perpetuated the chemical imbalance narrative and unpacking why depression can't be pinned down to a single cause. Dive into the significance of nervous system regulation, the groundbreaking polyvagal theory, and discover how the vagus nerve could hold the key to unlocking a brighter, more stable mood. It's not just about challenging outdated ideas; it's about embracing new, transformative strategies for growth and healing.resources used for the podcast are cited below: https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article/file?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.0020392&type=printablehttps://therapist.com/brain-and-body/polyvagal-theory/interested in SHIFT?

Did you know that your brain is the biggest sex organ?I didn't say it, Dr Jennifer Finlayson-Fife did…this week… on  the LIMITLESS FEMALE PODCAST! The truth is, the way you think has a greater impact on your sexual desire than anything else you or your spouse may (or may not) do, leading up to sex. Here's another fun fact… Sex does not always = intimacy.  You probably have experienced this if you are the lower desire  partner in your relationship. There isn't a lot of room for authenticity or connection when  we are making the grocery list in our head as we kiss our sweetheart! So yeah, your thoughts play a huge role when it comes to getting in the mood, and using sex to actually grow  connection.  I know I'm not alone when I say, desire has not always been  my strong suit. And feeling desirable is also really challenging after a long day of taking care of everyone else's needs. So I know you are going to LOOOOOOVE today's brand  new podcast with Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife.  I asked her all the good stuff!

If you've had a DTR (Utah or determine the relationship) with the Lord lately, then you might have heard the phrase, "Faith Crisis". I want you to know that there is no such thing. Not that you haven't wrestled with a question or a belief, because we all do. Just that there is no such thing because a faith crisis is a thought and not a fact. I want to offer to you that the way we think about this experience is all wrong, and not how the lord intended us to react to these questions and struggles. I want you to know that you are in the company of great men and woman whom without these questions, would have never created such beautiful and important outcomes. Listen in and find peace and next steps for you or loved ones Faith Journey!interested in SHIFT?
