Healing Her Halo

What happens when life changes in an instant, and the future you imagined no longer exists?

In this episode of Healing Her Halo, host Patience Murray sits down with Nina Rodriguez, founder and host of the award-winning Grief and Light podcast, for an honest conversation about unexpected loss, the realities of grief, and learning to live again when life looks nothing like you planned.

After unexpectedly losing her only brother, Yosef, in September 2019, Nina found herself navigating a kind of pain she had never known. What began as a personal search for understanding eventually became a mission to create space for others to feel seen, supported, and less alone in their grief.

Together, we explore:

• Why grief isn't something we can simply fix or get over.
• The unexpected ways loss reshapes our identity, priorities, and relationships.
• What it means to enter a season of wintering and give ourselves permission to slow down.
• How to support someone who is grieving without relying on clichés or empty reassurances.
• Why grief and joy can coexist, especially during the holidays.
• How community, compassion, and honest conversations can help us find our way forward.

One of the most powerful reminders from this conversation is that we don't always need the perfect words to support someone who's hurting. Sometimes our presence is enough.

This episode also arrives on October 11, 2026, exactly seven years and one month after Yosef's passing. We honor his memory and the meaningful work Nina continues to do through Grief and Light.

If you're navigating loss, supporting someone who is grieving, or learning to embrace a life that looks different from the one you imagined, this conversation is for you.

One thought turns into another, and suddenly you’re questioning everything. How do you find your way back when life feels overwhelming?

In Episode 053 of Healing Her Halo, “Spiraling to Breathing,” I share five ways that have personally helped me slow down, shift my perspective, and breathe again—even when I couldn’t see evidence that things were working.

We’ll talk about prayer, Scripture, reaching out for support, and honest journaling, including the “rage writing” practice that helped me release what I was carrying.

You don’t have to figure out your whole life in one day. Sometimes the next step is giving yourself room to breathe, name what you need, and move forward with a little more patience.

What happens when you’ve taken the time to rest, heal and regroup—but now you know it’s time to move again?

In this solo episode of Healing Her Halo: Restoration Season, Pae Murray shares how to regenerate momentum without rushing yourself or feeling like you have to rebuild everything overnight.

We talk about defining your direction, finding clarity through prayer, journaling and community, and identifying your “minimum viable push”—the smallest meaningful action you can take toward the dream, goal or vision God has placed on your heart.

Pae also shares why having compassion for your capacity matters, how obedience creates momentum, why documenting your journey can strengthen your faith, and what to do when you begin moving forward only to realize you may need to pivot.

If you’ve been resting, grieving, healing, rebuilding or simply feeling stuck, this episode is your reminder: you don’t have to do everything today. Get clear on the direction, take the next step and trust God with what you can’t see yet.

What happens when being “the strong one” starts costing you your health, peace, relationships, and purpose?

In this episode of Healing Her Halo: Restoration Season, Pae Murray sits down with functional medicine and lifestyle physician, international speaker, master facilitator, and three-time bestselling author Dr. Alicia Newsome, author of Worthy of Rest. Together, they unpack why so many high-achieving women have learned to glorify exhaustion, push through their emotions, ignore their bodies, and feel guilty for choosing rest.

Dr. Alicia vulnerably shares how experiencing a miscarriage forced her to confront her own relationship with grief, rest, and the pressure to keep showing up even when her body was asking her to stop. The conversation explores burnout, stress, functional medicine, emotional triggers, inherited beliefs, listening to your body, setting boundaries, and recognizing the warning signs that you may not be functioning as your healthiest self.

This episode is a reminder that rest isn’t something you have to earn. Your health is connected to your purpose, your relationships, your motherhood, your work, and the way you experience your life.

You are enough. You are worthy. And you are loved.

What do you do when life has knocked the faith out of you?

In this heartfelt, unscripted conversation, Patience Murray shares the real thoughts she's been carrying after the Pulse anniversary, the launch of her new book, and navigating both celebration and criticism while staying grounded in her faith.

This episode is a reminder that healing isn't about pretending everything is perfect—it's about returning to truth when your perspective has been shaken.

Together, we talk about:

✨ Protecting your peace in a world full of opinions
 ✨ Why God's Word is the anchor for your identity
 ✨ The neuroscience of rewiring your mind after trauma
 ✨ The intersection of faith and healing practices
 ✨ How community and testimony can restore hope
 ✨ What "borrowing faith" actually means when you're struggling
 ✨ Why sometimes you simply have to receive God's promises before you're able to fully believe them

It's never over. God isn't finished with you yet.

What if the life you're afraid of isn't the life you're actually living?

Have you ever turned a delayed text into rejection, a difficult conversation into the end of a relationship, a low bank account into a lifetime of scarcity, or a new ache into the worst-case scenario?

You're not alone.

In this episode of Healing Her Halo, we're exploring how trauma, anxiety, and past experiences can train our minds to rehearse imagined disasters before reality has a chance to unfold—and how healing invites us to do something radically different: expect miracles instead.

Through personal stories, practical mindset shifts, neuroscience, and faith-filled encouragement, Patience shares how one simple question changed everything:

If your mind is powerful enough to anticipate rejection, scarcity, failure, or loss, it is also powerful enough to anticipate healing, provision, love, opportunity, and joy.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• 🤎 Why your brain naturally predicts threats
• 🤎 How to separate facts from fear
• 🤎 A simple practice to interrupt anxious thinking
• 🤎 How to replace scarcity with expectancy
• 🤎 Why your imagination may be one of God's greatest gifts when it's rooted in hope instead of fear

Maybe the goal isn't to stop imagining.

Maybe the goal is to imagine differently.

Because the same mind that rehearsed disaster can learn to rehearse miracles.

And that might be where healing begins.

Have you ever looked at your unfinished dreams, growing to-do list, or half-finished projects and wondered, "Why can't I get it together?"

In this episode of Healing Her Halo, Patience Murray explores a powerful possibility: what if you're not lazy at all?

Drawing from her journey as a survivor, mother, entrepreneur, artist, and woman navigating healing, Patience unpacks what research says about procrastination, burnout, fear, and motivation. You'll learn why your brain may be trying to protect you, how trauma and stress affect your ability to take action, and practical ways to start moving forward without shaming yourself in the process.

If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, exhausted, or discouraged, this episode is your reminder that healing and progress can coexist—and that small steps still count.

In this episode, you'll learn:
 ✨ Why procrastination is often emotional, not logistical
 ✨ The difference between burnout and laziness
 ✨ How fear can disguise itself as lack of motivation
 ✨ Why self-compassion creates more momentum than self-criticism
 ✨ A simple strategy to start making progress today

In this honest mini episode of Healing Her Halo, Patience Murray talks about the hidden fear that keeps so many people playing small — the fear of fully trying and still not getting the outcome they hoped for.

So many of us delay our dreams, hide behind perfectionism, wait to feel “ready,” and pour into everyone else while ignoring the calling on our own lives. But what if the very thing holding you back is the fear of discovering what could happen if you truly gave your dream everything you had?

This episode is a reminder that confidence is built through movement, not perfection. Patience shares encouragement for anyone who knows they’re capable of more, feels stuck in hesitation, or is tired of shrinking themselves to stay comfortable.

If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect time” to start, this conversation is your sign to stop hiding your light and take the next step forward.
