I have been feeling the pull of taking a break, I have had this feeling that some BIG things are on the horizon. In the meantime, I know it's time to BE STILL and take a pause. During the pause, I will of course evaluate things.

What's going right?

What's not going well?

What would I like to do differently?

The clarity that comes from this process of evaluation is priceless! It can be used in a million different ways. 

I have some things in my mind that I am not fully ready to share but I know you will love to hear them when the summer comes to a close. 

Enjoy your summer! Take time to pause, connect with loved ones, and enjoy your life.

That's what it is all about.

I have come to realize when I ignore the tug of needing some personal time to reflect and redirect, it hurts my confidence. God has bigger plans for us than we can even imagine. BUT if you aren't listening for his whispers, you can't hear them! I am off to listen to whispers this summer!

Are you the person everyone counts on the helper, the over-preparer, the one who simply can't say no? In this deeply honest episode, certified life coach Heather Edwards opens up about her own journey as a recovering people pleaser and breaks down why this pattern is so hard to spot because it hides behind kindness, reliability, and good intentions.

The definition of people pleasing: prioritizing others' approval over your own needs, boundaries, and truth even at a cost to yourself. Are you people pleasing and not even aware of it?

In this episode you'll learn to recognize the sneaky red flags, from over-preparing as a performance to automatic yeses driven by anxiety, and why resentment after helping is a signal you can't ignore.

Most importantly, I will give you three concrete tools to begin breaking free from people pleasing: the Pause Practice, the Motive Check (helpful vs. fear-driven), and the Disappointment Challenge a powerful way to build confidence by saying no in low-stakes situations and learn your responses and expectations of saying yes.

Key takeaways: People pleasing is a survival strategy that outlives its usefulness. Your goal isn't to stop caring what others think, it's to stop letting that fear make decisions for you and manage what they are thinking. The most generous thing you can do is show people who you really are.

Can Forgiveness Actually Save Your Life? The Science Says Yes.

What if the key to better health, longer life, and unshakeable confidence was something you could do completely for free? In this powerful episode, we uncover the surprising science behind forgiveness and why holding onto resentment may be costing you more than you realize. Holding a grudge? By the end of this episode you may want to rethink your strategy.

Drawing from groundbreaking research on forgiveness and wellbeing, We review how the research about our inability to forgive others or yourself can silently destroy your health, crush your self-esteem, and even shorten your life. From increased cortisol and lowered immunity to higher rates of dementia and heart failure, the physical toll of unforgiveness is real, documented, and reversible.

But here's the good news: forgiveness is a skill you can learn.

I share two evidence-based protocols by Everett Worthington's REACH method and Robert Enright's Forgiveness Model, giving you practical, actionable tools to begin releasing resentment today. You'll also learn why forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting, excusing bad behavior, or staying in harmful situations. 

In addition, I include my personal method that is tried and true to helping you let go of doubts, insecurities, resistance, and triggers.

Whether you're carrying guilt about your own past choices or holding onto pain caused by someone else, this episode will shift your perspective and give you the roadmap to finally let it go.

In this episode you'll discover:

Freedom is waiting. If you are struggling with this yourself, book a coaching call and we can create your path to forgiveness!
