What if healing isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… but learning how to find peace while it’s still raining?

While driving down the California coast in a torrential downpour, with full sunshine pouring through the windshield, God gave me a powerful epiphany that changed the way I see healing, peace, and inner resilience.

For years I believed healing meant fixing circumstances, praying away the struggle, or finally getting to an “easier” season. But sometimes the rain doesn’t stop. What can change is our capacity, our perspective, and our ability to hold both suffering and joy at the same time.

This episode is especially for you if you’re tired, overwhelmed, spiritually disconnected, or waiting for life to calm down before you let yourself breathe again.

Scripture:

• Hosea 2:15 — “I will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope.”
• Joel 2:25 — “I will renew the years the locusts have eaten.”

Song:

• “Scars” by I Am They

Quote:

“You can’t change what happened in the past, but you can change how you frame it. We’re offered a range of different lenses: acceptance, forgiveness, and gratitude.” — Noelle Oxenhandler

If this episode resonated and you’re ready to find peace in the storm, not just after it, I’d love to support you.

Ever feel like you've tried EVERYTHING—therapy, retreats, prayer meetings, all the books—but you're still struggling? This episode reveals what might be the missing piece: integrating your body into the healing process.

Dani and Jim introduce The Third Act, a personalized coaching program that helps you birth the authentic essence of who you were created to be. It's not just about your past or present—it's about building the future you deserve.

ACT ONE: Formation The experiences that shaped you—childhood, relationships, choices made for you. The conditioning that formed your reactions to life.

ACT TWO: The Awakening Waking up to patterns, hurt, and wrong turns. Many of us stay stuck here in coping mechanisms. (And that's okay—there's work to do.)

ACT THREE: Coming Home Birthing the truest essence of who you are. Making peace with your past AND future. Integrating body, mind, and soul to become who you were always meant to be.

You are a triune being: Body, mind, and soul—one integrated whole made in God's image.

The problem: We've abandoned our bodies because life abandoned us. We've become over-thinkers because we're under-feelers. Christian culture taught us to shame the flesh, but Jesus came in flesh and blood. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit—it deserves honor and integration.

The science: Trauma is encoded chemically and electrically in your body. Your nervous system holds experiences even when your mind doesn't. You can't think your way out of what's stored in your body.

30-50 personalized practices (you choose what works for YOU):

• Movement & dance practices
• Self-soothing techniques (child hug, breathwork)
• Vagus nerve regulation
• Visualization & future-self anchoring
• StrengthsFinder assessment
• Body-mind-soul integration work

Simple practice to try now—The Child Hug:

1. Right hand in left armpit, left hand on right shoulder
2. Sway gently and breathe
3. Say: "I'm not leaving you. I'm here with you."

✓ You've tried everything but still struggle ✓ You're hijacked by anxiety, anger, or reactive patterns ✓ You know there's MORE but don't know how to access it ✓ You're an over-thinker who's actually an under-feeler ✓ You want to make peace with your body, not war with it ✓ You love Jesus but feel lost

Real talk: 90% of Dani's clients have never had a coach before. You're in good company.

That peaceful, integrated version of you 10 years from now? She already exists in God's hand. The Third Act helps you anchor to your future self and build the bridge from here to there.

Success looks like: Moving through a trigger in 3 minutes instead of being stuck for days. The goal isn't to never be triggered—it's to feel it, honor it, release it, and move forward.

What happens:

• Complete a simple intake for a temperature read
• Dani explains how the program works specifically for YOU
• Discover if this is your next step
• ZERO PRESSURE (Dani only works with great-fit clients)

The program: 3-6 months of personalized coaching, one-on-one time, practices, accountability, and support.

Investment in yourself: Your money is going somewhere—supplements, therapy, books. What if you invested in something that actually moves you forward?

1. You are body, mind, and soul—all equally important
2. Trauma lives in your body, not just your memory
3. The goal is integration and authenticity, not perfection
4. Your body is not the enemy—it's God's temple
5. Future-focused healing honors your past
6. The Third Act births who you were always meant to be

Hey friend! Today we’re talking about growing our relationship with our Creator, AND why the phrase "quiet time" makes me cringe and how I learned to connect with God in ways that actually work for who HE made ME to be.

If you've ever felt like you're not doing devotions "right" or that your relationship with God doesn't look like everyone else's, this episode is for YOU.

It's time to let go of the shoulds and discover what actually feeds your soul.

What You'll Learn:

✨ Why traditional "quiet time" doesn't work for everyone (and that's okay!)

💪 What a "spiritual workout" looks like and how to create your own

🏃‍♀️ How movement, dancing, and even naps can be part of intimacy with God

📖 Permission to skip scriptures that bring shame instead of empowerment

🧠 The mind-body-spirit connection you can't ignore

"You may have been your mom's accident, but you are not God's accident. You are here for such a time as this."

"I don't believe my thoughts until I move my body."

"Scripture was meant to empower you. If there are scriptures tearing your soul apart, don't read them right now."

"I'm so exhausted from trying to figure everything out on my own."

• Gentle morning movement (12-minute circuit)
• Brain dumping & intentional journaling
• Dancing to worship music
• Nature meditation walks (praying and listening prayer)
