I had the incredible opportunity to speak with Mariah Myton, host of the Intensive Healing Retreat in Hot Springs, Montana. In our conversation, Mariah shares the heart behind this powerful experience, the inspiration that led her to create it, and what guests can expect when they arrive ready to heal, reconnect, and grow.

Retreats offer more than a change of scenery they create intentional space to pause, reflect, reset, and invest in your well-being. This episode explores why making time for healing can be such a meaningful step toward living with greater clarity, purpose, and wholeness.

Learn more about the retreat and upcoming events by visiting the Empower Counseling and Rehabilitation website. You can also contact Mariah to ask about sponsorship opportunities that may help make attendance available at a low cost or even no cost to you.

In this episode, I sit down with Johnnie Geathers and unpack the difference between selfishness that harms others and the healthy kind that helps us set boundaries, rest, heal, and show up more fully in our relationships and communities.

Johnnie shares valuable insight into why so many of us especially people who are used to putting others first and struggle to prioritize ourselves.

In our conversation, we explore how saying “no,” making room for personal goals, and listening to our emotional needs can be meaningful acts of self-respect rather than acts of rejection.

Can you believe we’re already halfway through the year?

We’ve celebrated victories, navigated challenges, and experienced so much as individuals and as a country. Yet for many people, there are still goals, dreams, and ambitions they’re working hard to accomplish before the year is over.

The challenge is that pursuing those goals becomes much harder when you’re running on empty. Burnout is more common than many of us realize, and it can affect our motivation, productivity, and overall well-being.

In this episode, we’re going to talk about burnout why it happens, how to recognize it, and what you can do to overcome it so you can keep moving toward the goals that matter most.
