  Healthy Eating Gets Easier One Choice At A Time

  Sep 28, 202631 minS1

  Send us Fan Mail We sit down with Grace Barker, founder of Grace and Greens, to talk about a different path: simple food that tastes amazing, supports your body, and still fits into a full life. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the chicken-rice-broccoli loop, or felt like you need a perfect plan before you can start, this conversation is your permission slip to begin with one small, nourishing choice. Grace shares how her own journey took her from picky eating and fast food to experimenting with trendy diets, then hitting a major wake-up call around hormone health. That turning point reshaped everything into a more sustainable approach rooted in nourishment, flexibility, and listening to your body. We dig into what “healthy-ish” can look like in real life: adding more color to your plate, building meals you actually enjoy, and letting grace replace guilt when things don’t go to plan. We also get concrete with meal planning and healthy meal prep. Grace explains how her weekly recipe system works (recipes, grocery lists, prep tips, and community support through email and Substack), plus her favorite shortcuts for faster dinners. You’ll hear a crave-worthy overnight oats idea that tastes like dessert, along with practical tips for gluten-free and dairy-free living when you’re traveling, eating out, or heading into the holiday season. If you want more peace around food without sacrificing flavor, hit play, then subscribe, share this with a friend who’s tired of overthinking dinner, and leave a review so more listeners can find Create Harmony.

  Finding Your Voice Through Mindful Music Lessons

  Sep 21, 202632 minS1

  Send us Fan Mail Perfectionism has a way of sneaking into everything—even music, faith, and self-care—until the things meant to nourish us start to feel like another performance. We sit down with Erica Lee Winstead, a music teacher and founder of the Aria Sanctuary, to talk about a different way: music as a peace practice that brings you back into your body, your breath, and your connection with God. If you’ve ever felt stage fright, creative shame, or the pressure to impress, this conversation offers a gentler goal: presence. Erica shares how her teaching evolved from technique and recitals toward mindfulness-based voice lessons and piano lessons that help students “feel” music first. We talk about turning practice into an inner experience, then learning to share that experience with others in a way that feels sacred instead of stressful. You’ll also hear a powerful story about offering music in a healing setting and how service can transform what it means to perform. From there, we expand the toolkit: taking a nature walk with centering music, exploring chanting om and the role of pitch and vibration, and a clear explanation of Reiki as life force energy. We also name the real questions people have, including fear, skepticism, and discernment, and how intentionally inviting God into any practice can shift the entire tone. If you’re building a more grounded rhythm of everyday life, press play, then share this with a friend who needs calmer breathing and clearer joy. Subscribe, leave a review, and tell us what practice you want to try first.

  Finding Calm in Your Financial Life

  Sep 14, 202642 minS1

  Send us Fan Mail Money stress is not uncommon. When you don’t know what’s happening with cash flow of your business, your nervous system stays on high alert. This week, we sit down with Linda McDonnell, an accountant and the founder of Pique Prosperity, to unpack why the “behavioral side of money” matters just as much as the technical side. We talk about what it actually looks like to hire a guide: consistent coaching conversations, clear explanations of your numbers, and a plan that fits your goals whether you want a lifestyle business, growth, or a business you can someday sell. Linda shares the telltale signs she sees right away, including why having everything flowing through one bank account can make you feel like money disappears the moment it arrives. We get practical about building systems that help you pay yourself consistently, spot leaks, prepare for taxes without panic, and make decisions based on values instead of fear. The conversation goes beyond business finances into financial literacy for real life. If a partner handles the money, Linda explains why it’s still essential to understand what’s going on and how each of us carries a different “money lens” shaped by our upbringing and experiences. You’ll leave with a calmer framework for money management, plus a reminder that peace isn’t passive. If this helped you, subscribe, share with a friend who’s feeling money pressure, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find the show.

  What If Organization Is A Peace Practice

  Sep 7, 202644 minS1

  Send us Fan Mail This week, we talk with Ashley Bailey, founder of Everything Orderly, about the kind of home organization that actually holds up on a normal Tuesday when nobody has time, everyone needs something, and you’re one missing soccer cleat away from losing it. We get practical about what works: starting with a small win like a junk drawer, building simple systems so everything has a home, and using labels and containers as tools rather than decorations. Ashley shares why decision fatigue is real and how an easy nightly reset can change the tone of your morning. We also go deep on the hardest part, decluttering, especially when guilt shows up around gifts, heirlooms, or items that were expensive. If you’re downsizing or navigating a new season, we talk about keeping the memory without keeping every object. You’ll also hear smart strategies for small spaces and awkward storage, including using vertical space, hooks, the backs of doors, and even big lazy Susans for deep cabinets. And if hiring a professional organizer isn’t possible right now, Ashley offers DIY ideas using Pinterest and Instagram wisely, plus a “backstock bin” approach that helps bulk shoppers stop rebuying what they already have. If this conversation helps, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s craving a calmer home, and leave a review so more people can find it.

  Hobbies As A Peace Practice- Team Chat

  Aug 31, 202649 min

  Send us Fan Mail After a full summer exploring hobbies as a form of restoration, we sit down as the Create Harmony team to share what actually stuck with us and what we want to practice next. The surprise theme is how often peace shows up through community, not just solitude. When you try something new with other people, you risk being a beginner, and that vulnerability can open the door to deeper connection. We talk about the common traps that hijack even the best hobbies: perfectionism, comparison, and turning play into a performance. From journaling streaks to reading goals to fitness tracking, it’s easy to chase productivity and forget why we started. We unpack a metaphor we can’t stop thinking about: fire belongs in a wood stove, not on a couch. The same question applies to our phones and apps. Are they supporting presence, or quietly setting our life on fire? We also revisit the most grounding ideas from the season: forest bathing and the science of nature’s calming effects, gardening as a practice in letting go of control, and games like mahjong that demand full attention and pull you into the present moment. The through line is simple: you don’t have to be good at any of this. You only have to come curious, make a little room, and start. If you’re craving more peace through practice, subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next, share this with a friend who needs rest, and leave a review so more listeners can find us. And if Peacefall in Raleigh sounds like your kind of brave, playful reset, save your spot at mycreateharmony.com. Support the show To learn more, go to mycreateharmony.com
