  326 | you can be a christian, set boundaries AND be a good person: people pleasing, self trust & burnout w/ therapist sarah underbrink 14.09.2026 39min

  What if setting a boundary doesn't make you mean or a “bad Christian” — but is actually a way of honoring yourself, your nervous system, and the life God has given you?In this episode, Devoney sits down with Christian therapist and licensed minister Sarah Underbrink to unpack the connection between faith, mental health, boundaries, people-pleasing, burnout, confidence, and nervous system regulation.If you're a high-achieving woman who constantly says yes, worries about disappointing people, over-explains your decisions, or feels guilty for needing rest and space, this conversation is for you.Together, Devoney and Sarah explore why people-pleasing can become spiritualized, why “dying to self” doesn't mean destroying or abandoning yourself, and how your nervous system can actually help you discern what is a healthy yes and what needs to be a no.You'll also hear a powerful perspective on Proverbs 31 and what it means to have the audacity to “laugh at the days to come” — not because life is always easy, but because you trust in the God who has your future.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why boundaries are not unkind or un-Christian• The hidden connection between people-pleasing and the need for approval• Why someone else's disappointment doesn't automatically mean God is disappointed with you• How to tell the difference between anxiety and fight-or-flight from spiritual discernment• How to set boundaries without taking responsibility for other people's reactions• The difference between people-pleasing and genuine kindness• How faith and nervous-system regulation can work together rather than being treated as separateIf you're ready to spend less time overthinking, and step into a calmer, more confident, more unapologetic version of yourself, this episode is for you.HIGHLIGHTS |03:11 — You Don't Have to Choose Between Faith & Mental Health07:45 — The Proverbs 31 Woman Has the Audacity to Laugh at the Future11:59 — Boundaries Don't Make You a Bad Christian13:10 — The Hidden Reason We Don't Set Boundaries15:00 — Your Soul Is the Holy of Holies16:39 — Someone Else's Disappointment Doesn't Mean God Is Disappointed With You18:39 — When People-Pleasing Becomes “Being a Good Christian”21:05 — “Dying to Self” Doesn't Mean Destroying Yourself21:52 — Why We Wear Burnout Like a Badge of Honor24:38 — Your Nervous System Is Giving You Information26:35 — Is It Anxiety or God's Voice?29:43 — You Don't Have to Manage Other People's Reactions30:42 — You Are the Expert of Your Own Body32:30 — Unhealthy People Can't Always Understand Healthy Boundaries34:31 — Boundaries Protect, They Don't Punish35:43 — Change “I Have To” Into “I Get To”37:17 — The Proverbs 31 MindsetCOMING UPSTART HERE | 🎧 Download the Free 4 Minute Calm Reset: my go to breathing practice for peace & calm🎙Tune in to other listener favorite episodes:4 Things I'd Do Differently If I Was Starting My Anxiety & Confidence Journey over4 Steps to Go From Nervous to Doing the Dang ThingMENTIONED | ABOUT FREE & WELL | Free & Well is a mental wellness movement helping women start fully living their lives.

  319 | body image, emotional eating & identity: a christian woman's guide to fitness for true confidence & healing w/ briana arteaga 17.08.2026 41min

  What if the way you move your body could actually grow your faith and help you live out the calling on your life instead of creating comparison and self judgment?In this episode, I sit down with Briana Arteaga, creator of Fit and On Fire, a Holy Spirit-led functional training approach that rejects diet culture and body-image pressure in favor of training for purpose. Centered around Proverbs 31. Yes, I know, it's amazing.We unpack why so many high-achieving women struggle with comparison, body image, unhealthy exercise habits & a worldly focus on aesthetics. Briana shares her own testimony, the science behind functional fitness, and how realigning movement with identity in Christ & using a Proverbs 31 approach shifts training into a way to live out your calling and grow your connection with God.If you've ever tied your self-worth to your body, struggled with emotional eating, or felt like your workouts were just another way to earn approval, this conversation offers a different path — one rooted in strength, purpose, and nervous-system peace instead of performance.In this episode:Why fitness culture keeps women stuck in anxiety and comparisonThe link between emotional eating, body image, and identityWhat "functional fitness" actually means (and why it's different)How training in partnership with the Holy Spirit builds real confidenceBriana's personal testimony and journey to Fit and On FireSTART HERE | 🧘‍♀️Download the Free 4 Minute Calm Reset: my go to breathing practice to go from spiraling to peace🎙Tune in to other listener favorite episodes:4 Things I'd Do Differently If I Was Starting My Anxiety & Confidence Journey over4 Steps to Go From Nervous to Doing the Dang ThingABOUT FREE & WELL | Free & Well is a mental wellness movement helping women break free from anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, and people-pleasing so they can become calm and confident through psychology, nervous system regulation, and faith.

  318 | use this 1 question to confidently make decisions & do things you don't WANT to do but you know you NEED to do 14.08.2026 5min

  What if the question “Do I want to do this?” isn’t the best question to ask?Spoiler - it's not.When you’re anxious, overwhelmed, tired, people-pleasing, or simply not in the mood, your emotions can make the easiest choice feel like the right choice. But the choice that feels good right now isn’t always the choice that will help you genuinely become the woman you're here to be.In this episode, we’re talking about a simple filtering question for making better decisions:“What will help me show up as my best self today?”Instead of allowing your emotions, comfort, fear, or avoidance to automatically determine your choices, this question helps you pause, reconnect with your values, priorities, goals, and long-term wellbeing, and make a decision from the person you want to be.We’ll explore the difference between honoring your emotions and being led by your emotions, how to make values-based decisions when you don’t feel like doing something, and why choosing what is genuinely helpful for you may sometimes look different from choosing what feels easiest.If you’re an anxious or high-achieving 20-something who tends to overthink decisions, people-please, procrastinate, avoid discomfort, or constantly ask yourself “What do I feel like doing?”, this episode will give you a simple mindset shift you can start using today.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why “Do I want to do this?” can sometimes keep you stuckHow to separate your emotions from your decisionsThe difference between emotional awareness and emotional leadershipHow to make values-based decisions that support your long-term goalsA simple question to use when you’re tempted to choose comfort or avoidanceHow small daily decisions shape the person you’re becomingYou don’t have to ignore your feelings.You just don’t have to let them be in the driver's seat & make the decision for you.START HERE | 🧘‍♀️Download the Free 4 Minute Calm Reset: my go to breathing practice for peace & calm🎙Tune in to other listener favorite episodes:4 Things I'd Do Differently If I Was Starting My Anxiety & Confidence Journey over4 Steps to Go From Nervous to Doing the Dang ThingABOUT FREE & WELL | Free & Well is a mental wellness movement helping women break free from anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, and people-pleasing so they can become calm and confident through psychology, nervous system regulation, and faith.

  What if your anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing aren't personality traits—but patterns that are just trying to keep you safe?In this deeply honest conversation, I sit down with therapist and coach Grace Secker to unpack why so many high-achieving women feel disconnected from themselves, constantly strive to be "good enough," and struggle to quiet their inner critic.Together, we explore how self-protection, nervous system responses, and our relationship with ourselves relate to anxiety, confidence, perfectionism, and emotional healing.

  310 | the goal of healing is not to be a chill cucumber 18.07.2026 5min

  What if the goal of healing isn't to become perfectly calm, unbothered, or emotionally "fixed"?In this episode, we're unpacking one of the biggest misconceptions about mental health and personal growth: that healing means never being upset or feeling "bad" feelings. The truth is, healing isn't about becoming a chill cucumber who never gets anxious, overwhelmed, or triggered. It's about becoming free enough to fully experience your life.We'll explore how nervous system regulation, emotional healing, anxiety recovery, and self-awareness aren't the destination—they're the tools that help you be more present, more connected, and more authentically yourself. Because the real purpose of healing is to help you laugh harder, love deeper, take bigger risks, pursue your purpose with confidence, build meaningful relationships, and show up fully for the life you've been given.If you've been stuck in the cycle of constantly trying to "fix yourself," this episode will help you shift your perspective and remember what healing is actually for.In this episode, we'll cover:Why healing isn't about becoming perfectly calm all the timeThe real purpose of nervous system regulation and anxiety healingHow emotional wellness creates more freedom, joy, and presenceLetting go of perfectionism in your healing journeyLiving with greater confidence, authenticity, and purposeHow to stop obsessing over healing and start fully livingWhether you're navigating anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism, burnout, or simply want to feel more present in your everyday life, this episode will encourage you to stop chasing a perfect version of yourself—and start embracing the beautiful, messy, meaningful life that's waiting for you.[FREE 4 MINUTE CALM RESET AUDIO]Want a short, grounding practice for when you're feeling overwhelmed?
