180: How to Recover From Stress Naturally: A Faith-Based Approach to Healing Your Nervous System

Podcast Show Notes | Christian Wellness & Stress Recovery
Introduction
Do you feel constantly stressed, wired, tired, or unable to truly rest — even when you slow down?
In this episode, Alexandra shares a faith-fueled, holistic approach to stress recovery and explains why many women never fully recover from stress in the first place. We rush, suppress emotions, push through exhaustion, and repeat the cycle day after day — leaving our bodies stuck in fight-or-flight mode.
This episode is for Christian women who feel overwhelmed, anxious, chronically stressed, or physically depleted and want a biblical, body-wise way to restore calm, energy, and clarity — without relying on numbing distractions or unhealthy coping mechanisms.
You’ll learn:
Why stress recovery matters just as much as stress management
How movement and focused activities help your body exit fight-or-flight
What God’s design for stress, rest, and healing really looks like
Practical, natural ways to help your nervous system reset
Why We Don’t Recover From Stress (And Why It Matters)
Many women experience stress all day long — at work, at home, in relationships — but never give their body permission to release it.
When stress is left unresolved:
The nervous system stays stuck in fight-or-flight
Digestion, sleep, and emotional regulation suffer
Fatigue, anxiety, and chronic symptoms begin to appear
God designed the body to be resilient — but not to stay in survival mode forever.
How Focused Movement Helps the Body Release Stress
Alexandra shares a personal story about noticing stress symptoms (like eye twitching) disappear after activities like martial arts training, even when she didn’t feel excited about going beforehand.
Why does this work?
Certain activities:
Force your brain into the present moment
Activate stress briefly, then allow it to fully resolve
Signal safety to the nervous system after the activity ends
This “closed stress loop” allows the body to finally relax.
The Science Behind Stress Relief and the Nervous System
Focused, structured activities such as:
Martial arts (Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai)
Partner dancing
Rock climbing
Playing musical instruments
Chess or strategic games
Escape rooms
…can help:
Improve focus, attention, and executive function
Elevate mood and endorphins
Reduce anxiety
Support emotional release (yes, even crying afterward)
These activities don’t allow rumination — the brain must stay present.
Why Scrolling and Numbing Don’t Heal Stress
Many people cope with stress by:
Excessive social media scrolling
Alcohol or other numbing behaviors
Avoidance instead of release
These habits do not complete the stress cycle — they only delay healing.
True recovery requires helping the body recognize safety again.
Biblical Perspective: Fight-or-Flight, Rest, and God’s Design
Alexandra reflects on how fight-or-flight became necessary after sin entered the world, but it was never meant to dominate our lives.
Jesus invites us into rest:
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28
The goal isn’t to eliminate stress entirely — it’s to move out of survival mode and back into rest and trust.
You’re Not Too Old to Heal or Try Something New
One of the biggest lies women believe:
“I’m too old to start something new.”
The body is adaptable. Strength, coordination, and resilience can be rebuilt at any age.
Ask yourself:
What did I love doing when I was younger?
What challenges my brain and body in a healthy way?
What helps me feel calm, grounded, and alive afterward?
Healing often begins with movement, curiosity, and courage.

179: 4 Life-Changing Questions to Ask God During Hard Seasons (Biblical Encouragement for Trials)

Introduction
Are you walking through a hard season and wondering where God is in it?If you’re feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or confused by what God is allowing, this episode is for you.
In today’s episode, we explore four people from the Bible who endured deep trials—and what their responses reveal about how God works in difficult seasons. You’ll learn four powerful questions you can ask yourself when life feels heavy, questions that can shift your perspective, strengthen your faith, and bring clarity even when answers feel far away.
This episode is especially for Christian women navigating hardship, whether that’s health struggles, emotional exhaustion, uncertainty, or a season that simply doesn’t make sense yet.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
Why hardship doesn’t mean God has abandoned you
How your response to trials can change your future
Biblical examples of faith during suffering
Four life-changing questions to ask God in difficult seasons
How God often provides before we even notice
Biblical Lessons on Trials, Faith, and God’s Provision
1. The Israelites in the Wilderness: Recognizing God’s Provision
The Israelites experienced miracles—freedom from Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea—yet still found themselves wandering in the wilderness. Their story reminds us that complaining and unbelief can blind us to God’s daily provision.
God provided manna every day, even while they grumbled.
Life-Changing Question #1:What is the “manna” God has already placed in your life that you may be overlooking?
God often supplies what we need before we recognize it.
2. Hagar: Seeing the Provision That Was Always There
Hagar’s story is one of pain, rejection, and survival. Alone in the wilderness with her son, she believed death was inevitable—until God opened her eyes to a well of water that had been there all along.
Life-Changing Question #2:What provision or answer might God be placing right in front of you that you can’t see yet?
Distraction, grief, trauma, and exhaustion can keep us from noticing God’s help.
3. Paul in Prison: Using Hard Seasons for God’s Glory
Paul endured imprisonment, beatings, and hardship—yet instead of giving up, he used his suffering to encourage others. Some of the most impactful books of the New Testament were written while he was in chains.
Life-Changing Question #3:How can God use this hard season for His glory?
God doesn’t waste suffering when we remain willing.
4. Joseph: Serving Faithfully While Waiting
Joseph’s story reminds us that delay is not denial. Sold into slavery, falsely accused, and imprisoned, Joseph continued to serve with integrity. His willingness to encourage others—even while waiting for his own breakthrough—ultimately led to freedom and fulfillment.
Life-Changing Question #4:Who is the “cupbearer” in your life that God is calling you to serve right now?
Sometimes our breakthrough comes through serving others faithfully.

178: When God Doesn't Make Sense: What the Bible Says to Do When You’re Confused or Hurting

When God’s Ways Leave You Confused or Hurting
What do you do when God doesn’t make sense?
When you’re praying… trusting… being faithful —yet grief still comes, sickness lingers, finances stay tight, or answers never arrive?
In this episode, we wrestle honestly with one of the most difficult and unsettling passages in Scripture — Ezekiel 24, where God tells the prophet Ezekiel that his wife will die and then commands him not to mourn publicly.
This episode is for:
Christian women walking through grief, loss, sickness, or deep confusion
Believers struggling to reconcile God’s goodness with painful circumstances
Anyone asking, “God, what are You doing — and can I still trust You?”
You’ll learn what the Bible says to do when God’s actions feel confusing or unfair, why God is not a “genie in a bottle,” and how to anchor your faith when understanding feels out of reach.
If you’re seeking thoughtful, faith-filled clarity around your health or next steps, I offer one-time Health Clarity Sessions for women who want Christ-centered guidance without overwhelm.

When God Doesn’t Do What We Expect
Many of us were taught—intentionally or not—that if we follow God closely enough, life will work out neatly.
But Scripture tells a different story.
Ezekiel 24 reminds us that:
God is not transactional
Faith does not guarantee comfort
Obedience does not always come with explanation
That doesn’t mean God is cruel.It means His purposes are larger than our perspective.
And when we don’t understand what He’s doing, we’re invited to trust who He is.
What the Bible Says to Do When God Doesn’t Make Sense
Instead of:
Walking away from God
Assuming He is unfair
Demanding answers we may not receive
Scripture invites us to:
Press in, not pull back
Seek God Himself, not just outcomes
Trust His character when His actions confuse us
Jesus is the clearest proof that God can be trusted:
He entered suffering willingly
He endured injustice without explanation
He laid down His life in love
When God’s ways don’t make sense, the cross still does.
Bible Verses for Comfort When You’re Confused or Hurting
If you’re grieving, weary, or struggling to understand God’s plan, these promises matter:
Psalm 34:18 – The Lord is near to the brokenhearted
Matthew 5:3–4 – Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted
2 Corinthians 1:3–4 – The God of all comfort comforts us in all our affliction
Deuteronomy 31:8 – He will not leave you or forsake you
The Bible may not always explain why —but it consistently reveals God’s heart.
Key Takeaways
God is not a genie; He desires relationship, not transactions
It’s okay to admit when Scripture feels hard or confusing
Trust is built on God’s character, not circumstances
God often comforts us through other people
Loneliness is dangerous — community is essential
Even when life doesn’t make sense, God goes before you
Final Encouragement
If you’re confused… hurting… grieving… or weary —you are not alone.
God loves you with an everlasting love.He wants to comfort you.And He often does that through His people.
Lean into Him.Reach out for connection.And hold tightly to this promise:
“It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you. He will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.” — Deuteronomy 31:8

175: Finding Peace in Overwhelm: A Christian Guide to Anxiety, Burnout, and Trusting God Through Hard Seasons

(Faith-Based Encouragement, Holistic Healing, Christian Mental Health)
Introduction: What You’ll Learn in This Episode
If you’ve been feeling anxious, numb, exhausted, or spiritually drained, this episode is for you. We dive deep into Christian mental health, holistic healing, and what it really looks like to trust God when life feels heavy. You’ll learn:
Why seasons of overwhelm are normal — and biblical
The identity trap many Christian women fall into
What Scripture teaches about endurance, grief, and human weakness
How Jesus handled anxiety, agony, and the weight of His calling
This episode is especially for Christian women who feel overextended, weary, or like they're “not enough” — moms, high achievers, and women navigating transitions, burnout, or identity struggles.
Episode Overview
In this vulnerable conversation, we explore Scripture, real-life hardship, emotional healing, and how God strengthens us through every season — even when we feel like we’re drowning. From James 1 to Ecclesiastes 3 to Jesus sweating drops of blood in Luke 22, this episode gives a deeply honest look at pain, perseverance, and faith.
⏱️ Time-Stamped Highlights
00:00 — A Prayer for Thanksgiving Week & A Needed Reset
A heartfelt encouragement for the holiday season plus an invitation to reset your energy through a faith-rooted workshop.

05:40 — The False Identity of Performance

Key Takeaways
1. Hard seasons are part of spiritual growth.
God uses trials to strengthen us, deepen endurance, and strip away false identities.
2. Your worth is not tied to productivity or performance.
Christian women often carry silent pressure to “hold everything together,” but Scripture gives you permission to rest and be human.
3. Emotional burnout is not a sign of failure.
Feeling numb, anxious, or overwhelmed isn't a spiritual weakness — it’s a sign you’re carrying too much alone.
4. Even Jesus felt agony so intense He sweat “like drops of blood.”
Your emotional and physical symptoms of stress are not a shock to Him. He understands the full weight of human suffering.
5. Seasons of pain don’t last forever.
Ecclesiastes reminds us that life moves in God-ordained rhythms. Your current season is temporary.
6. Just keep showing up.
One breath at a time. One day at a time. Faithfulness is less about perfection and more about returning to Jesus again and again.
Scriptures Mentioned
James 1:2–4 — steadfastness through trials
Ecclesiastes 3 — seasons of life
Luke 22:39–44 — Jesus in Gethsemane, sweating like drops of blood
Call to Action: Reset Your Energy With God at the Center

174: Stop Asking “What’s the Pill for This?” A Christian Holistic Approach to Healing

Why Quick-Fix Natural Remedies Aren’t Enough for Menopause Symptoms, Acne, and Low Energy
Keywords: Christian holistic health, faith-based wellness, natural remedies, low energy Christian woman, hormonal imbalance, acne causes, menopause symptoms, spiritual warfare and health, God’s wisdom for health
🌿 Introduction: There Isn’t Just One Pill for This
When you’re tired, breaking out, or dealing with hormone symptoms, it’s easy to think:
“What supplement do I take for this?”
In this short episode, we talk about why that question is too small — and how to start thinking about your health the way God does.
This episode is for you if:
You’re a Christian woman who keeps searching for the right supplement, cream, or diet
You want to understand the root causes of your health issues — physically, emotionally, and spiritually
You’re ready to ask God for wisdom, not just Google for answers
You’ll learn why your health struggles are usually about more than one thing and where to look next.
⏱️ Episode Highlights
00:00 – “What Do I Do for This?”Alexandra shares real conversations: a woman with menopause-type symptoms, a teenager with acne, people with low energy — all wanting a simple natural remedy.
01:00 – Why Health Issues Rarely Have One CauseHormones, diet, stress, products, and environment can all be involved. Menopause symptoms, acne, and fatigue are often multi-layered, not one-pill problems.
01:57 – Sleep, Stress, Trauma, and Spiritual WarfareWhy things like lack of sleep, unhealed trauma, high stress, and even demons and spiritual warfare can show up as physical symptoms.
02:26 – Change the Question, Change the OutcomeInstead of asking, “What pill fixes this?” Alexandra encourages you to ask:
How’s my mental health?
How is my environment (mold, toxins, products)?
How are my relationships and finances affecting my stress?
Is there a spiritual root God wants to address?
02:55 – Resources for Spiritual Warfare and Soul HealthBook recommendations:

Stop chasing only supplements.Natural remedies can help, but they’re not the whole story.
Your health is multi-dimensional.Hormones, diet, sleep, stress, trauma, environment, relationships, finances, and spiritual warfare can all impact your body.
Go to God first.Before you ask, “What do I take?” ask,
“Lord, what is really going on here — and where do You want me to start?”
You’re not crazy or broken.You’re a whole person — body, soul, and spirit — and God cares about all of you.
 
📣 Call-to-Action
Today, instead of searching for yet another remedy, ask God:
“What’s one area You want me to look at — my sleep, stress, diet, environment, relationships, or spiritual life?”
Then take one small, obedient step in that area.That’s how real, faith-filled healing begins. 💛

🙏 3 Biblical Steps to Healing and Wholeness
1. Seek God First
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” — Jeremiah 29:13
Before changing your diet or chasing another health trend, ask God for wisdom. He knows what your body, mind, and soul need most. Prayer, Scripture, and stillness allow Him to guide your next step.
2. Obey What You Already Know
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” — John 14:15
Sometimes we already know what God is prompting us to do — drink more water, go for that walk, forgive someone, or slow down. Healing often begins when we obey His gentle nudges.
3. Trust God Completely
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord… he is like a tree planted by water.” — Jeremiah 17:7–8
When we trust God, we can stop striving and start resting. Our minds calm, our bodies relax, and our stress levels drop — all of which promote healing.
Try repeating:
“I trust God. I trust God. I trust God.”
Let it replace anxious thoughts with faith-filled peace.
💡 Key Takeaways
True health begins with your relationship with God, not a new health trend.
Seeking God gives you divine wisdom for your next step.
Obeying God can lead to alignment and peace, even when it’s hard.
Trusting God reduces stress, anxiety, and fear — bringing healing to your mind and body.
Healing doesn’t have to be complicated — it can be as simple as daily faith and obedience.
💬 Reflection Questions
Which of the three steps — seek, obey, trust — do you need most right now?
