Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for your body isn’t to push harder, but to step back.

Our host, Kelly Meehan, chats with Alisha Banks, whose story is a reminder that healing isn’t just physical—it’s spiritual, emotional, and deeply personal. What started with a decision to stop taking birth control led her through a health crisis that shook every part of her life. But it also uncovered something vital: healing doesn’t happen when we rush or force—it begins when we pause and listen.

In the aftermath of her health scare, Alisha tried everything—detoxes, supplements, protocols. But instead of getting better, she became more depleted. Her body was overwhelmed. Her spirit, disconnected. It wasn’t until she began to approach her wellness from a place of faith and rest that things began to shift.

Healing looked less like chasing the next fix and more like rebuilding trust in her body, in God’s timing, and in the quiet rhythms of daily life. Eating real food. Speaking Scripture over her body. Being present with her children. Asking for help. Letting go of control.

There’s no perfect routine or silver bullet. But there is peace in slowing down long enough to notice what your body—and soul—actually need.

For any woman standing at the edge of burnout or confusion, Alisha’s journey offers a gentle reminder: You don’t have to have all the answers today. Start with rest. Start with surrender. Because often, that’s exactly where true healing takes root.
