Who knows a rested woman? We all know women who are stressed out, burned out, exhausted, successful, anxious, depressed—but truly rested? This question from "The Relaxed Woman" stopped me in my tracks and led to one of the most important decisions I've made in years.

In this deeply personal episode—number 77, a number that speaks of completion and perfect forgiveness—I'm sharing why I'm pausing the podcast for this season. But this isn't just my story. It's an invitation for every woman who's been giving her best to everyone else and her exhaustion to her family.

We'll explore:

• The biblical significance of 77 and what completion really means
• Why pruning isn't punishment—it's preparation for new growth
• How hurry and love simply cannot coexist
• The revolutionary power of celebrating each other's brave NO's
• The parable of the fake pearls and what God might be asking you to release

Featuring wisdom from Dallas Willard, John Mark Comer, Ruth Haley Barton, Emily P. Freeman, and Eugene Peterson's beautiful translation of Jesus' invitation to "live freely and lightly."

This episode is for every woman stepping into November wondering how she'll survive another holiday season. It's permission to open your hands. It's an invitation to trust that God holds all things together—not you.

What fake pearls are you clutching? What if your Father has real ones waiting?

Episode Note: This is the final episode for this season as I step into Spiritual Direction training and explore finishing my degree at Mississippi State after 27 years. Thank you for 77 beautiful conversations.

Welcome back, friends! We're wrapping up our BECOMING Series with a powerful reunion—Hannah Marks is back!

When Hannah first joined us in July 2024 (Episode 18), she had just experienced breakthrough freedom from 18 years of debilitating anxiety and physical bondage on Saint Patrick's Day 2019. Today, she returns to share how that spiritual freedom launched her into an unexpected calling: helping women and men reclaim their health through body, mind, and soul healing.

As a certified health coach and founder of Whole by Hannah, Hannah specializes in hormone regulation, personalized nutrition, and root-cause healing—all anchored in a deep relationship with Jesus. Her approach isn't about quick fixes or band-aids; it's about transformation from the inside out.

If you've been on a years-long journey trying to figure out what's wrong—if you've been told your labs are normal but you feel anything but—this conversation is for you. Hannah understands because she's lived it. And now she's helping countless women get their lives back.

In This Episode Hannah Shares:

• How her pivotal Saint Patrick's Day 2019 moment of commanding anxiety to leave changed everything
• Why we need Jesus AND practical health wisdom—not either/or but both/and
• HerBody, Mind, Soul framework for becoming whole
• The difference between spiritual strongholds and physical dysfunction
• Why 92% of Americans have an insulin issue (and how to fix it in 2 weeks!)
• The two root causes behind most health issues: insulin or hormones
• How birth control and infertility treatments disrupt your body's hormone production
• Why whole foods matter and what happened when she ate a Krispy Kreme donut
• The mind games we play with ourselves and how to break negative thought patterns
• Her powerful message: "It's never too late"—as long as you're breathing, you can transform
• Walking through divorce while staying whole in Christ
• Why your body isn't broken—it's trying to communicate with you

About Hannah Marks: Originally from Great Britain, Hannah Marks has called the United States home for 30 years. After having her thyroid removed and struggling with strokes, autoimmune conditions, and debilitating anxiety for nearly two decades, Hannah experienced complete spiritual freedom in 2019. This breakthrough transformed not only her life but launched her into a new calling.

For the past five years, Hannah has been helping women and men become whole through her health coaching practice, Whole by Hannah. She specializes in reading comprehensive blood work, addressing insulin resistance and hormone imbalances, and teaching people how to fuel their bodies with whole foods—all while grounding everything in a deep relationship with Jesus.

At 48, Hannah says her body looks and feels better than ever. She's a devoted mom to Will (16) and London, actively involved at Connect Church in Springfield, Missouri, and finds her strength in daily time with Jesus—especially during this current season of walking through an unwanted divorce with grace and faith.

Hannah's Heart: "It's never too late. As long as you're breathing and you're alive today, you have the opportunity to turn everything around. You have the opportunity to turn your life around, your body around, your emotions—everything. It's never too late."

Pull up a chair, beloved. This conversation will minister to your weary soul AND body.

Hannah Marks is a certified health coach, speaker, and founder of Whole by Hannah. Originally from Great Britain, Hannah has called the United States home for the past 30 years, though her charming British accent remains unmistakably intact.

Hannah's journey into holistic health wasn't planned—it was deeply personal. After having her thyroid removed 18 years ago, she spent nearly two decades struggling with what doctors thought were strokes, autoimmune conditions, debilitating anxiety, depression, and complex health issues that left her desperate for answers. Despite countless doctor visits, medications, and being told "your labs are normal," Hannah knew something was deeply wrong.

Everything changed on Saint Patrick's Day 2019 when, after reading The Bondage Breaker by Neil T. Anderson, Hannah discovered she had a stronghold of fear over her life. In a powerful moment at church, she commanded the spirit of anxiety to leave in Jesus' name—and it did. After ten months of continuous anxiety attacks, she was instantly and completely free.

But Hannah's freedom journey didn't stop there. As a pastor's kid who grew up in "the most beautiful home," she realized that if she didn't understand her authority in Christ, countless other women didn't either. This spiritual breakthrough led her to pursue answers for her physical health, eventually connecting with a doctor who helped her understand insulin resistance, hormone imbalances, and the power of whole foods.

For the past five years, Hannah has been guiding women and men through their own transformative journeys. She specializes in comprehensive blood work analysis, addressing the two root causes of most health issues (insulin or hormones), personalized nutrition, and teaching people to advocate for their own health—all while grounding everything in a relationship with Jesus Christ.

At 48, Hannah says her body looks and feels better than ever. She's a proud mom to Will (16) and London, teaches elementary music two days a week at her children's school, actively serves at Connect Church in Springfield, Missouri, and finds her daily strength in quiet time with Jesus. Currently walking through an unwanted divorce, Hannah is living proof that it's never too late to become whole—body, mind, and soul.

Her clients consistently say they've "gotten their lives back," experiencing reversed diabetes, balanced hormones, renewed energy, and rediscovered joy.

• How autumn teaches us the sacred art of release
• Why our bodies communicate through feelings and what to do about it

Episode 73: "BECOMING Refreshed: Your Invitation to Deeper Waters with Amy Allgood" Episode Description

Are you feeling weary from the constant pace and pull of life? In this powerful episode, host Cherisse Hixson sits down with mentor, coach, and entrepreneur Amy Allgood to explore what it means to move from spiritual "shallow waters" into the deeper, more abundant life God has for us. Amy shares her journey from being a "selfish Christian" focused on what God could do for her, to discovering the transformative power of asking "What can I do for You, God?"

This conversation is a gentle invitation for women who are ready to step beyond surface-level faith into authentic spiritual refreshment, rest, and renewal in Jesus.

Meet Amy Allgood

Amy is a sought-after speaker, mentor, and entrepreneur who has addressed audiences of over 12,000 women. As a National Sales Director with Mary Kay and leader of women's biblical small groups for nine years, Amy is passionate about helping women discover their unique gifts and calling. She's a wife to Will, mom to three children (ages 12, 10, and 9), and lives in sunny Shalimar, Florida. When she's not mentoring women, you'll find her enjoying good food with friends, "SPA-ING" (her favorite hobby), or traveling to one of the 15+ countries she's visited.

• Why women leaders often struggle with the "doing" vs. "being" tension
• Understanding that if it's not God's calling, there will be no eternal fruit
• Breaking free from society's "busy badge of honor" mentality

Bold Obedience and Sabbath Rest (28:30)

• Amy's conversation with her Olympic-hopeful daughter about resting on the seventh day

2. Practice Listening Prayer - Instead of bringing God your list, sit quietly and ask "What do You want to show me today?"
3. Embrace Sabbath - Take one day to truly rest and reflect, trusting God with your productivity

3. Where is God calling you to bold obedience in this season?

Quote to Ponder

"Be around people who are going to celebrate you and not tolerate you. Early in life we try to please people, we try to impress people, and it's exhausting and it's a waste of time and energy." - Amy Allgood

Prayer

Father, thank You for pursuing us even when we're content to stay in shallow waters. Give us courage to go deeper with You, to listen more than we speak, and to step boldly into the assignments You have for us. Help us find true refreshment in Your presence and rest in Your perfect love. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Episode 72: Becoming: Letting Go to BE Brave

Sometimes the most sacred work isn't adding more to our lives—it's releasing what no longer serves us so we can step into who God is calling us to become.

In this deeply personal episode, Cherisse shares the story behind her "September 15th Ebenezer stone"—a hospital room moment 14 years ago that changed everything and launched an annual tradition of brave becoming. From nearly losing her son Drew at 21 weeks to saying yes to solo retreats, international trips with strangers, and spiritual direction training, she vulnerably shares what God has been teaching her about shedding the patterns that once protected us but now limit our growth.

Through gentle teaching woven with personal stories, you'll discover:

• The difference between spiritual molting and self-improvement
• How to identify what God is asking you to release (approval-seeking, perfectionism, control, performance-based identity)
• Why community is essential for the becoming process
• How to transition from survival mode to calling mode
• Practical ways to build your "brave muscles" even when you're shaking

Featuring a beautiful lectio divina pause with Psalm 62:5-8, this episode is an invitation to curious souls ready to release what's complete and embrace what's coming.

Perfect for women who are weary from the constant pace of life and looking for ways to restore, rest, and renew their souls in Jesus.

Welcome back, sweet friends! After a three-month summer sabbatical, I'm so excited to be back with you as we launch our new fall series on BECOMING. In this heartfelt episode, I'm sharing about a transformative weekend Solo Retreat that shifted everything for me - from learning to rest "between His shoulders" to discovering that it's actually NOT all up to me.

What We'll Explore Together:

✨ The beautiful gift of being completely unknown and accepted just as you are ✨ Why "silence" with Jesus is actually full of rich conversation ✨ How to create sacred containers for encountering God in the everyday ✨ Breaking free from the "if it is to be, it is up to me" mentality ✨ Learning to measure our days by the fruit of the Spirit instead of accomplishments ✨ What it means to rest securely in God's sufficiency

Soul-Stirring Quotes Featured:

This podcast is for women who are weary from the constant pace and pull of life and are looking for ways to restore, rest, and renew their souls in Jesus and His Word and presence.

Becoming - A Journey from Clenched Fists to Open Palms

After three months away, I'm back with a story of transformation that might just change how you think about rest, performance, and what it means to truly be present.

What happens when you step away from the constant pull of social media, the pressure to perform, and the "shoulds" that have driven you for 25 years? In this vulnerable episode, I share what I discovered during my summer sabbatical - and it wasn't what I expected.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

• The profound difference between helping from overflow vs. helping from depletion
• Why I broke a 25-year pattern of pushing myself to "finish strong" every June
• What it really looks like to move from clenched fists to open palms
• The questions that changed everything: "Why am I saying yes to this?"
• How to create containers for presence (not just productivity)
• The gift of simplicity and what happens when you truly unplug

This episode is for you if:

• You're feeling pulled in a million directions and can't remember the last time you felt truly present
• You're tired of performing but scared of what might happen if you stop
• You're curious about sabbath but don't think you could ever step away
• You're ready to examine what's really motivating your "yes" responses
• Your heart is longing for more time with Jesus but life feels too full

I'll be honest - this return to podcasting feels vulnerable. But if you're feeling fragmented, weary, or stuck in patterns that are draining your soul, I want you to know you're not alone. Sometimes the most radical thing we can do is open our hands and see what God wants to fill them with.

Come grab a cup of coffee and join me as we explore what it looks like to become the women God is calling us to be - not through more doing, but through deeper being.

"You're a tree replanted in Eden, bearing fresh fruit every month, never dropping a leaf, always in blossom." - Psalm 1:3 MSG
