Welcome to another episode with the talented “Catholic Therapist,” Lisa Gormley. After many conversations with friends and listeners about the anxiety that the holiday season can bring, we knew we needed a professional. On today’s episode we discussed not only “getting through” the holidays, but finding ways to thrive. By using both spiritual and practical ways to maintain regulation in our mind and spirit, Lisa shares how we can better maintain a parasympathetic nervous response, or the “rest and digest” state when we know we are safe, rather than finding ourselves in a constant state of “fight or flights or the “sympathetic nervous response.”

On this episode Kenz and B discuss the many seasons that 'imposter syndrome' has popped up in their lives, each of their husband's lives, and how the pattern seems to always point to the same thing -- there is only one person who doesn't want us to reach our our mountaintop, and he is going to stop at nothing to tell us the lie that we do not deserve our dreams, or that we are imposters. But God is different - God breathes life into our dreams, He is the author of our dreams, and when we remain close to Him we will drown out any false beliefs or insecurities such as imposter syndrome.
Listen to the end to hear B's fav verse from Luke, that is sure to help anyone in a season of growth and serve as a reminder that we are never meant to doubt ourselves or look back. Always forward, all for His glory!
xoxo
