Perhaps you're so worried about achieving "perfect health" that you're stressed out and haven't been able to rest and enjoy your time (by the way, perfect health doesn't exist).
In a world where there's so much new information all the time - new trends, new studies, and new fad diets - sometimes it's important to go back to the basics and steward your body by focusing on nourishment, rest, and joy instead of trying to keep up with all of the latest biohacks.

Our medical system recommends pap smears as preventative screenings but when a woman wants to have a baby, the medical approach is "Give it a whirl. We'll see what happens."

Whether a family member betrayed you, someone cheated on you, a leader deceived you, or a friend hurt you, it can be difficult to move forward.

Here's a secret: you don't have to hustle and be a boss babe to accomplish things. And you don't have to be tough and intimidating to succeed.
Maybe you think you can't be soft. You believe you have to be tough to succeed and get ahead.
Maybe you've been hurt in the past and so you've learned to close yourself off from others.
Maybe you've been trying to earn respect from others and be taken seriously and you believe the way to do that is to act intimidating because you see strength and toughness as the same thing.
Or perhaps in the stress and busyness of your life, you sometimes act harshly with those around you even though you don't want to.
But what would it look like to be a soft woman? To operate from a place of rest and embrace your feminine identity? To be gentle and strong at the same time?

We spend a lot of time thinking âIf I can just get this promotion, win this award, or cure this health issue, then things will be better, happier, or fulfilled.â
But what happens when the achievement we worked for becomes our identity and then ultimately falls away or disappoints?

It's no surprise that our current culture pushes unrealistic expectations of beauty.
From the relentless messaging that we get telling us we need to change our figure, hair, skin, and clothing to the pressure to use extreme beauty treatments or follow the latest trends, the secular view of beauty is hurting us physically and emotionally.
But what does the Bible tell us about beauty? How can you care for your beauty in ways that are not harmful to your body?
What does it look like to steward and care for your beauty and body in a God-honoring way? What does a countercultural approach to beauty look like on a practical level?
That's what this episode explores as Jordan brings you into a conversation about returning to natural beauty in a world of unrealistic (and unhealthy) beauty standards.

You are the gatekeeper of your home, which means you can make intentional choices about the products you use and what ingredients you allow in your house.
But learning to choose cleaner products can quickly lead to a perfectionistic mindset and high stress when you leave no room for compromise. You can feel like you have to change everything all at once, or you can't enjoy certain things you used to (like getting your nails done at the salon).
So what does it look like to take a toxin-freeish approach to choosing safer products? What would it look like if you took intentional steps to choose better ingredients, but also gave yourself grace to enjoy less healthy options?
