Summary

Have you taken a thousand-piece puzzle and dumped it upside down on a table? Pieces everywhere. Some right side up. Others right side down. Border pieces mixed with middle pieces. That's what our lives feel like as we try to find where all of the pieces fit. Have you ever been there? Perhaps you're there now.

In this episode, we talk about the toll the fast-paced western industrial complex has on our souls, and what we're doing to take care of ourselves so we can show up well for our loved ones.

Here are some highlights:

How to lengthen our fuse when it's running short
Practical ways to find soul rest in the day-to-day hustle
Practical ways to put your body back in regulation
The most effective strategies to get the outcomes you desire in your kids
Awareness and repentance as a gateway to freedom
