  • Summary

  • Welcome to A HOLY MESS, a safe place for you! Great at taking care of business but struggle taking care of you? You’re in the right place! Does your life look pretty good on the outside, but inside, you’re struggling? I’m here to help. If you’ve been feeling stuck, lost, exhausted, tired, or just drowning in a life that seems unfulfilling, broken, or like something is missing, THIS is the podcast for you. I’m bringing you the absolute raw, unfiltered, and authentic truth. Together, we will figure out how you can learn to thrive through the drama and trauma of life. Even as Christians who sometimes feel unworthy and shame about our past, anxious about our future, or feel like we are not enough. There is so much more for us! There’s hope, joy, peace, fun, purpose, and a reason that YOU are on this planet. We CAN have fun and laugh while trudging through our messes; this stuff doesn’t need to be dry and boring! We will dig into finding freedom in our mess, tactical tools to help in our daily lives, and amazing guests, too! ”Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.”-Psalm 84:5 I can’t wait to journey with you!

    Hi friend,

    In today's episode, I share a very personal story from high school and the impact that one small gesture from an amazing man had on my life during a very dark and lonely season. I hope it encourages you!

    Verses mentioned:

    📖 1 John 3:1

    📖 1 John 3:20

    Quote of the episode:

    "The past doesn't have to dictate your future."

    Song of the week: "Keep Following" by Cain iTunes // Spotify // YouTube

    Enjoy!

    Sick and tired of cliches and sayings like, "God doesn't give you more than you can handle." or "Everything happens for a reason."?

    Then, you will LOVE our amazing community and program, The Feel Better Journey.

    We dive into things like:

    - Learning to listen to and bring some healing to our inner child.

    - Finding healing from our family of origin stuff that can keep us bound even into retirement! *It's NEVER too late to find healing from this stuff.*

    - Tools and strategies to implement today and every day when life *hits the fan or emotions overwhelm you so you can still show up for those who need you.

    And we laugh a lot!

    Whether you've tried everything already--read all the books, been in support groups, going to therapy, etc... OR, you're just now realizing you need some extra help because you've been there for everyone else all these years, but you feel like no one is there for you--I'd loveee to journey with you and be a guiding hand to help you navigate this season.

    It's eight refreshing weeks of authentic community from around the world doing life together once a week on Zoom! Plus, if you like this Podcast--you will LOVE the private podcast with the program! It's a handful of short weekly episodes for you to enjoy between our Zoom calls, along with all the program's content.

    I hold your hand (virtually, of course) through the whole program and our 2 months together.

    It's holy ground, and I'd love for you to be part of it!

    We have men's and women's groups available! And you're invited!

  • 138. Unlocking Inner Strength and Confidence: How to Overcome The Past & Begin Rewriting Your Story & Find Hope / Quote & Quick Encouragement
    Apr 10 2024

    Hi friend!

    Today's a short episode, and I HOPE it encourages you!

    I'm sharing one of my favorite quotes and verse—Romans 15:13.

    Sometimes, life wears us out so much that we forget we have what we need inside to live a beautiful life.

    I hope today's episode reminds you of the strength and wisdom God has given you deep within your being.

    Sometimes, the best thing from hard times that we walk through is the wisdom birthed through it.

    Quote: "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies with us." --Ralph Waldo Emerson Romans 15:13: "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with the hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."

    Enjoy!

    Doors are opening soon for my program, The Feel Better Journey! Find out more here, and join the waitlist to be notified when doors open. Much love, Dani

  • 137. Does Praying Make Your Anxiety Worse At Times? 3 Tips & Prayers
    Apr 4 2024

    Hi friend!

    If you've ever felt more anxious after praying or wrestled with thoughts like, "Why isn't prayer helping?!" and "Am I doing it wrong?" and so many others, today's episode is for you.

    I'm sharing a few thoughts about it all, as well as some very simple yet profound prayers that have changed the game for me when I'm struggling, especially with anxiety. I hope they help you, too.

    The prayers mentioned today:

    The Surrender Prayer:

    Jesus, I surrender myself to you. Take care of everything. Amen.

    The Lord's Prayer:

    Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever and ever. Amen.

    The Serenity Prayer:

    God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Amen.

    Also, The Feel Better Journey Program is opening soon! If you want extra support this season and a program (and me!) that will walk you through, equip you, and help you find relief from your internal struggles--jump on the waitlist, and we will let you know when doors open.

    So grateful you're here!

Glad I found you!

I found your podcast within the last six months or so. I was looking for some perspective and encouragement because I struggle with feelings and thoughts of faliure, regret, loss, and depression. Thank you for all the work you put into this!
