Your nervous system isn’t supposed to be calm all the time.

Despite what you might hear online, feeling stressed doesn’t automatically mean you’re “dysregulated” or that something is wrong with your nervous system. Your stress response exists for a reason. Your body was designed to respond when life requires action.

In this episode of Rediscovering Normal, we’re breaking down what actually happens in your body when you experience stress, without turning it into a complicated neuroscience lesson.

We’ll talk about the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, why neither one is “good” or “bad,” how your past experiences can influence present responses, and why I think adaptability is a much better goal than trying to stay calm all the time.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What actually happens in your body when you’re stressed

You don’t need to eliminate stress from your life.

You don’t need to be calm all the time.

And experiencing a stress response doesn’t mean your body is failing you.

Instead, start asking:

“What is my body responding to right now?”

And then:

“What does my body need from me right now?”

The goal isn’t a perfectly calm nervous system.

It’s an adaptable one.

How often do you catch yourself thinking, “What is wrong with me?”

Maybe your body isn’t responding the way you want it to. Maybe you keep falling into the same patterns. Maybe you know something needs to change, but you aren’t sure where to start.

What if healing didn’t begin with finding everything that’s wrong with you and trying to fix it?

In this episode of Rediscovering Normal, we’re shifting from frustration to curiosity. We’ll talk about why your body’s responses and your personal patterns may make more sense when you understand what’s underneath them, and what I mean when I talk about developing a healing mindset.

I’m also taking you behind the scenes of The Revival Practice and explaining why I use different tools like BEST, Emotion Code, the Enneagram, and homeopathy. They may seem completely unrelated, but each gives us a different way to look at the whole person.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why “What’s wrong with me?” may be the wrong place to start

You don’t need to turn yourself into another project to manage.

Maybe the next step isn’t asking, “What do I need to fix about myself?”

Maybe it’s asking:

“What do I need to understand about myself?”

Your nervous system does a whole lot more than you probably realize. It’s constantly receiving information, interpreting what’s happening around you, and helping your body decide how to respond.

In this episode, we’re breaking down nervous system regulation without making it complicated. You’ll learn why your stress response isn’t the problem, why being “regulated” doesn’t mean being calm all the time, and why adaptability may be a better way to think about nervous system health.

We’ll also talk about how thoughts, past experiences, muscle tension, breathing, and everyday stress can influence the way your body responds, plus one simple question that can help you become more curious about your body instead of immediately trying to fix it.

Because your body isn’t failing when it responds to stress. It was designed to respond. The goal is helping it respond to what’s happening now.

If you’ve ever wondered what people actually mean when they talk about “regulating your nervous system,” this episode is a great place to start.

How many times have you researched something, prayed about it, asked for advice, and STILL found yourself wondering if you’re making the right decision?

Sometimes we genuinely need more information. But sometimes, fear keeps us searching for another answer when deep down, we already know.

In this episode of Rediscovering Normal, we’re talking about what it looks like to stop second-guessing yourself and start making decisions from a place of faith instead of fear.

I’m also sharing a little about where Rediscovering Normal is headed. We’ll continue talking about natural health and homeopathy, but we’re going deeper into the nervous system, stress, emotions, thought patterns, BEST, Emotion Code, the Enneagram, faith, and the physiology behind how your body responds to the world around you.

My goal is simple: I’ve done the studying so you don’t have to. I want to take the complicated neuroscience and physiology and turn it into information you can actually understand and use to make more confident decisions for yourself and your family.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why more information doesn’t always create more confidence

And that question is:

“What does the version of me who chose faith over fear already know?”

Take that one with you this week.

Homeopathy can feel overwhelming when you first hear about it. Is it herbs? Supplements? Essential oils? And how does it even work?

In this episode of Rediscovering Normal by The Revival Practice, I make homeopathy simple. We’ll talk about what it really is, how it works, and why it’s one of the safest and most powerful tools moms can use to support their families.

You’ll learn:

What “like cures like” means—using real-life examples like onions, coffee, bee stings.

Why homeopathy works on the level of frequency and energy—so if you pick the “wrong” remedy, nothing happens.

How suppression of symptoms can actually drive illness deeper (for example, eczema often leading to asthma).

Why homeopathy doesn’t force the body, but nudges it to do what God designed it to do.

How building confidence in homeopathy helps shape your kids’ healing image—teaching them their bodies are strong, capable, and created to heal.

I’ll also share some of my personal experiences with homeopathy in our family (mom-to-mom, not medical advice), so you can see how this plays out in real life.

Friend, I know this can feel like an entirely new paradigm. But you don’t have to figure it out alone. That’s why The Revival Practice exists—to create a tribe of moms who feel supported in making this shift and raising resilient families.

Have you ever wondered: If homeopathy is so safe and effective, why have I never heard about it? Why do people still think chiropractic is controversial?

The truth is—it’s not because these systems don’t work. It’s because they were deliberately suppressed.

In this episode of Rediscovering Normal by The Revival Practice, I share the hidden history of how natural healing was pushed out of mainstream care. We’ll talk about:

The Flexner Report of the early 1900s, which labeled anything outside of drug-based medicine as “quackery.”

How the AMA conspired to ‘contain and eliminate’ chiropractic—and lost in court when the truth came out.

Why suppressing symptoms (like eczema with steroids) often drives illness deeper, creating bigger issues like asthma.

A brief introduction to homeopathy—what it is (and isn’t), why it’s so safe, and how it nudges the body’s natural healing response instead of forcing chemical changes.

Why moms today must strengthen their healing image to break cycles of fear and raise resilient families.

This is just the beginning. In the next episode, we’ll dive deeper into homeopathy—exploring the principle of “like cures like,” sharing personal success stories, and giving you a clearer picture of how to use it in everyday life.

Friend, you’ve never heard this history because the system didn’t want you to. But you’re hearing it now—and that truth can change everything for your family.

It’s your first step to building confidence in your healing image and rediscovering what normal was always meant to be.

www.therevivalpractice.com 

Your kids don’t just hear your words—they absorb your healing image. The way you respond to sickness, stress, and setbacks paints the picture of what healing looks like for them. And that picture will shape their future.

But here’s the challenge: we live in a world that makes any mom who questions the medical model feel like a “weirdo.” For years, I stayed quiet. I discovered homeopathy, but my family thought I was nuts. I thought, “Maybe if I had more authority, then they would listen.” That led me to chiropractic college, where learning anatomy and physiology gave me the confidence to finally speak boldly about the body’s design to heal.

In this episode, I share why I refuse to stay quiet anymore—and why you shouldn’t either.

You’ll learn:

What a healing image is and why it matters more than perfection.

The reality of rising chronic illness in kids.

How the medical model pushes fear and undermines a mom’s confidence.

Why being authentic, even if it makes you the “weirdo mom,” is one of the greatest gifts you can give your children.

How homeopathy can help you carry a healing image with confidence.

Friend, heal the mom, heal the family. Your healing image is the foundation of revival.

This isn’t just a new season—it’s a whole new rhythm. In this episode, I’m sharing the full story behind where I’ve been, what’s changed, and why Rediscovering Normal matters now more than ever. From leaving my corporate job to enrolling in chiropractic school, navigating spiritual obedience, and experiencing personal revival—I’m taking you behind the scenes of my journey… and into what’s coming next.

We’re diving into the deeper “why” behind the podcast, the story of The Revival Practice, and how we’ll move forward together inside the framework of Restore. Align. Bloom.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a life that should feel okay—but deep down, something just feels off—this is your invitation to begin again.

The Rediscovering Normal Podcast has gone through an upgrade! We're still Rediscovering Normal every day with Jesus, but in an entirely new way! 

It's time to lean into more of what you WANT to do and less of what you think you SHOULD do. The world has done a good job at making you feel like you aren’t doing enough or even that you simply aren’t good enough. 

You know that saying, “God only gives you what you can handle?” Well, thats the first thought we’re changing. Because if you could handle it, you wouldn’t need God. 

But it’s time to realize that you were created for such a time as this and it’s time to do the thing that scares you a little, instead of going through the motions for the rest of your life.

In this podcast, you’ll learn how to identify the thoughts you need the change, begin to focus on gratitude, start daydreaming from a place of hope instead of wishful thinking, release the shame behind following your dreams and partnering with God for all of it, because He placed those crazy dreams in your heart for a reason. 

My mission is to help you create the life of your dreams by changing your thoughts.  I’ll help you begin believing in yourself, so you can step into your true calling from God - even if it seems crazy on the outside! I’m here to be your hype girl, because I believe in you and what God is calling you to! And if you hang around me long enough, you’ll start believing in yourself too!

If you’re ready to go ALL IN on your dreams, improve your mindset with daily routines - routines that grow your ability to surrender control and be led by the Spirit - and finally start loving yourself AND the dream you’ve been given, this podcast is for you.

So grab a pen and notebook, a warm cup of coffee or your favorite beverage, and let’s start dreaming again by Rediscovering Normal.

It's been TOOO long since we've been together! 

Do you ever try to "take a break" and the voice in your head starts telling you ALL the things you SHOULD be doing?

On today's episode, I give you a life update and encouragement on how to embrace rest without feeling shame. 

I pray this episode blesses you!
