  • Wow! New Favorite Podcast

    I started listening to this podcast to help with some breathing and emotional healing techniques. Wow! This podcast is so much more than the name. I’ve listened to several episodes so far today. I had to stop to implement some tools I learned. It’s so much good content. I’m going to binge the whole channel.

    Shiree thanks for making this podcast. You’re a beautiful light. I love listening to your voice.

  • Inspired to Grow

    This is a fantastic podcast. Shiree’s weekly stories and experiences are meant to help us love those in our lives who have chosen a different faith journey than their parents or other loved ones, but I have learned so much about how to build good relationships with people even inside and outside of my own faith tradition. It is a pleasure to learn from Shiree and her guests. I highly recommend this podcast.

5 Lies You Tell Yourself - With Julie Hawkes
Q: What practical method do you recommend for turning fear into faith when a parent feels isolated?
Use a pre-selected scripture kept in your pocket, read it in moments of panic, and deliberately shift focus from fear to faith, knowing you are not alone and help is available from God and loved ones.
5 Lies You Tell Yourself - With Julie Hawkes
Q: How do you catch the lies when anxiety spikes about your child, and what steps do you take in those moments?
First, become aware of your emotional state, then identify the thoughts you're having, recognize the lie, and finally pull out a preparing truth from scripture to replace it and calm your mind.
How to Have an Open Heart - With Rachael Curfew
Q: What practical tool can help cultivate presence and compassion?
A gratitude-focused practice that immerses the person in appreciation for the loved one, gradually expanding to 20-25 specific grateful observations and ultimately flooding the relationship with compassion.
How to Have an Open Heart - With Rachael Curfew
Q: How can listeners stay open-hearted when a loved one is challenging their beliefs?
The guests advocate staying present, being curious about the other person's perspective, and cultivating compassion rather than taking on the burden of trying to fix or save them, which helps preserve connection.
Questioning Everything - With Tucker Boyle
Q: What happened after you suddenly felt the ground come out from underneath you?
I found three safe people to talk to, leaned into meditation, and learned to regulate my nervous system, which allowed me to stay connected with my wife and family while processing the crisis.
