  Out of Alignment: The Hidden Cost to Your Mind, Body & Spirit with Becky Ubelhor

  Aug 12, 20261h 6mS1

  Out of Alignment: The Hidden Cost to Your Mind, Body & Spirit What happens when we’re living out of alignment with God’s purpose for our live, and what might it be costing us? In this episode, I’m joined by Becky Ubelhor a registered nurse, functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner, and faith-rooted holistic health coach. Becky shares her personal journey from working in conventional healthcare into holistic, root-cause healing and how God used her own struggles to lead her toward deeper surrender, healing, purpose, and authentic alignment. We talk about the connection between mind, body, and spirit, the impact of stress and busyness, setting boundaries without guilt, identity in Christ, and pursuing health without making wellness an idol. We also explore what it looks like to slow down, listen to God, follow the joy, and discern whether the things we’re saying “yes” to are truly aligned with His purpose for our lives. Becky closes the episode with a beautiful prayer reminding women that they are loved, worthy, and created with purpose.

  39. Should Christians Practice Yoga? Linda Carl, Former Yoga Teacher and Author, Reveals the Truth

  Jul 22, 20261h 4mS1

  Many Christians believe yoga is simply stretching or exercise—but is that the whole story? In today's episode, I'm joined by Linda Carl, author of Yoga Unveiled , former yoga instructor, and faithful Catholic, for an eye-opening conversation about yoga's spiritual roots and why it isn't compatible with the Christian faith. As someone who spent years immersed in yoga, Reiki, eastern meditation, and New Age spirituality before encountering Jesus Christ, this conversation was especially meaningful to me. Linda and I share parts of our own journeys, discuss what ultimately led us away from these practices, and explain why true peace is found in Christ alone. Whether you've practiced yoga yourself, have loved ones who do, or have simply wondered what the Catholic Church teaches, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and hope. In this episode we discuss: Linda's journey from "sacramentalized but not catechized" Catholic to passionate disciple of Christ Why yoga is much more than physical exercise The Hindu roots of yoga and the true meaning behind many common poses, chants, and practices The spiritual dangers of Reiki, chakras, Kundalini yoga, and other New Age practices Why so many Christians unknowingly mix their faith with New Age spirituality How Jesus offers a peace the world can never give Practical steps for anyone who wants to leave yoga or New Age practices behind The beauty of the sacraments, confession, prayer, and authentic Christian healing If this episode encourages you, please consider sharing it with someone who may benefit from hearing it. Resources Mentioned: Yoga Unveiled by Linda Carl- Purchase the book on Sophia Press or Amazon USCCB document on Reiki Jesus Christ, the Bearer of the Water of Life (Vatican document on the New Age) Connect with Linda: Follow Linda on Instagram @yogaunveiled About Linda Carl Linda Carl is the author of Yoga Unveiled . After spending more than twenty years immersed in yoga—including becoming a certified yoga instructor—God led her to discover the spiritual roots of yoga and ultimately back to the fullness of the Catholic faith. Today she serves her parish and Catholic organizations while helping others discern the spiritual dangers of yoga and New Age practices and embrace the peace found only in Jesus Christ.

  37. From People-Pleasing to Holy Freedom (Part 2): The Spiritual Roots of People-Pleasing

  Jul 8, 202623 min

  From People-Pleasing to Holy Freedom: How to Stop Living For the Approval of Others and Start Living For God Part 2: The Spiritual Roots of People Pleasing Welcome to Part 2 of this special 3-part series on breaking free from people-pleasing and learning to live for the approval of God instead of the approval of others. In Part 1, we uncovered what people-pleasing is and why it disguises itself as a counterfeit virtue. Now we're asking a deeper question: Why does people-pleasing have such a grip on our hearts? In this episode, we uncover the spiritual roots of people-pleasing by looking at Scripture, the Catechism, and the wisdom of the saints. Together, we'll discover why this struggle isn't simply a personality trait or bad habit—it's a matter of misplaced identity, disordered love, and forgetting whose approval matters most. In this episode, you'll discover: 🤍 How people-pleasing traces all the way back to the Garden of Eden 🤍 What Scripture teaches about the fear of man and the freedom that comes from fearing God above all else 🤍 What we can learn from Adam and Eve, St. Peter, Pontius Pilate, and Our Blessed Mother 🤍 How pride and distrust of God quietly fuel people-pleasing 🤍 Why seeking the approval of others can never satisfy the deepest longing of your heart 🤍 How rooting your identity in Christ changes everything 🤍 Why authentic freedom begins when God's opinion matters more than anyone else's As we close this episode, I invite you to pray the Litany of Humility, asking Jesus to free your heart from the need for human approval and deepen your trust in His love. 📖 Scripture for this Episode "The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe." — Proverbs 29:25 🙏 Anti-people pleasing saints to ask for intercession: St. Teresa of Avila St. Catherine of Siena St. Joan of Arc Our Lady of Guadalupe Coming up next week... In Part 3, we'll move from understanding to transformation. I'll share practical Catholic coaching tools to help you renew your mind, establish healthy boundaries, overcome people-pleasing for good, and begin living confidently from your identity as God's beloved daughter. Books and Prayers Mentioned: Introduction to the Devout Life by Saint Francis De Sales The Litany of Humility Connect with Carrie: Follow Carrie on Instagram @livingwholeandholy ✨ If this episode resonated with you and you're ready to move from people-pleasing to holy freedom, I'd love to walk alongside you through Catholic life coaching.

  36. From People-Pleasing to Holy Freedom (Part 1): The Counterfeit Virtue: Unmasking People-Pleasing

  Jul 1, 202631 minS1

  New Podcast Series: From People-Pleasing to Holy Freedom: How to Stop Living For the Approval of Others and Start Living For God Part 1: The Counterfeit Virtue I'm so excited to welcome you to this brand-new 3-part series about one of the biggest struggles I see in Catholic women—and one I personally had to overcome myself. Over the next three episodes, we'll explore how to stop living for the approval of others and start living for God. Most women have never been told that people-pleasing is more than an unhealthy habit. It's often praised as kindness, selflessness, or simply "being a good person." But when our desire for the approval of others becomes greater than our desire to please God, it quietly steals our peace, our identity, and our freedom. Throughout this series, we'll uncover the lies behind people-pleasing, examine what Scripture and the Catholic faith teach about it, and discover how to root our identity in Christ so we can live whole, holy, and free. 🤍 In Part 1, you'll learn: • What people-pleasing actually is—and what it isn't • Why it often disguises itself as kindness, humility, and charity • The hidden emotional and spiritual costs of living for the approval of others • The four false identities people-pleasing creates • Practical, everyday examples of how it shows up in work, marriage, parenting, friendships, faith, and decision-making • A simple homework exercise to help you begin recognizing these patterns in your own life This episode isn't about guilt or shame. It's about awareness. Because awareness isn't condemnation—it's the beginning of freedom. 📖 Scripture for the Series "Am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ." — Galatians 1:10 🙏 Saints to Ask for Intercession St. Teresa of Avila St. Catherine of Siena St. Joan of Arc ➡️ Coming Next: Part 2 Where did people-pleasing come from? Why does it have such a grip on our hearts? And what do Scripture and the Catholic faith teach about breaking free? In Part 2, we'll explore the biblical and spiritual roots of people-pleasing and begin replacing lies with God's truth.
