Friends, this has been a long, incredible, unbelievable journey with you all. I'm sorry (not sorry?) to say this is my very last episode of The Feeling Better podcast. After a tough week where I suffered with a weird physical imbalance, I had some illumination from God about how to truly be the best ME for HIS kingdom: physically, mentally, and spiritually. And that means saying good-bye. The Feeling Better gambling addiction podcast and website will stay up for new listeners to discover or...

Friends, this topic is a big one. The Imbalance of Bigger Barns addresses the whole "Keeping Up With the Joneses" mentality and wanting things we don't have. We don't have them and we think we should, and so we envy others. The grass is always greener on the other side... or is it? What kind of damage can envying things and coveting what other people have do to our mental health and spiritual walk? Have a listen as I give some real examples of my own life and the things I'd felt...

Well, friends. In this episode, I get really into the guts of something that paints me out to be a complete jerk. Sometimes I wonder how God even stands me, let alone how I can stand myself. Let's just say I'm thankful for His grace and mercy, as well as my husband's. If you are someone suffering an addiction of ANY kind, whether gambling, porn, alcohol, drugs, food, video games, smoking, shopping, etc., and you've lied to someone you love, this is the episode for you.

#demons #satan #ishellreal #hell Yeah, this might be a difficult episode for some people to grasp. My intention was to give you a short introduction to the discussion about the imbalance of a demonic tongue, which every one of us needs to hear. But I get into talking about Satan and hell, and I share with you my really creepy demon story, and provide you with advice on what to do if you find yourself in a real demonic encounter. I also provide you with a current pop culture example using...

In this episode, I tell you three crazy stories about grace and mercy that happened to me last week, one of which explained why I wasn't able to get a podcast episode uploaded last Sunday. I also finally dive into the imbalance of character and integrity, and how I turned into wretched thief who stole while I was gambling. Sometimes imbalances invoke correction and discipline from God. Other times it leaves mental doors open for the enemy to sneak through. If any of the character or integrity...

In this episode, I tell you how once again God came through for us, with an amazing story that defies explanation. I don't think anyone can deny the power of prayer at this point. How many times have I shared stories like this now? It's kind of mind-blowing! And that perfectly ties into a question I got from a listener, who asked me what kind of things we should be praying for, and if it's wrong to pray for more than just the necessary things in life that sustain us. You're going to love this...

Enough is enough, right? Enough gambling. Enough loss. Enough failure. Enough living a life of confusion, anxiety, fear, and uncertainty. Do you all want to make 2024 the most incredible and impactful year of your life so far? Then join me on this new venture. In this episode, I share with you two resolutions that will change everything for you. That's it, just two. And I'm not leaving you on your own to do it. I'm going to do it with you. This is the episode you don't want to miss if you...

Merry Christmas! You will never guess the gift God gave me for Christmas. I have finally learned the spiritual secret to letting go completely of worry, anxiety, stress, depression, and sadness. Once again, I got passed over for a job despite going through an intensive interview process. And I had COVID that lasted three weeks. My bank account is at zero, and I have no idea how my January bills are going to get paid. But do you know what? I am SO full of joy! All our bills are paid for...

Hello, friends! Man, as you can tell from my nasally voice, I am still under the weather, presumably with COVID as I had recently lost my sense of smell and taste. This is the hardest time of year for many of us current or former addicts. Between the short, dark days and all the holiday festivities, it can be tough to stay upbeat, positive, and productive. I share some ideas for keeping our minds off of gambling here during the winter months, as well as a suggestion for reading/listening that...

In this episode, I read from my new book, Imbalances: The Addict's Guide to Fixing Our Broken Lives, Chapter 7--The Imbalance of Sex, Trust, and Intimacy. My apologies for not uploading a podcast episode last week, folks. I came down with some kind of nasty flu or virus that shifted to one of those horrid head colds. I had recorded my episode, but didn't have the energy or brain power to edit it. I start off by telling you all about my strange Thanksgiving, and then I start this chapter off...

#gamblingaddiction #spiritualattack #suicide *NOTE: TRIGGER WARNING IN THIS EPISODE!* Happy Thanksgiving! It's my 40th episode! And,  I just hit the 10,000 download milestone. I know it's crazy, but I am so ridiculously thankful for my gambling addiction. In this episode, I share with you actual recordings from me back this time last year in 2022. It's heartbreaking to hear the dark despair I was in back then, the hopelessness I felt, the confusion and fear and utter darkness. But I...

In this episode, I read from my new book, Imbalances: The Addict's Guide to Fixing Our Broken Lives, Chapter 6--The Imbalance of Negative Thoughts. It's human nature to have negative thoughts, but did you know it's sinful nature to be someone who continually thinks, voices, or acts on negative thoughts? Sometimes, Christians are the worst at this. But both Jesus and the Apostle Paul tell us that true Christians don't behave in this way. Today, I share an awful story about my past, and how my...

In this episode, I read from my new book, Imbalances: The Addict's Guide to Fixing Our Broken Lives, Chapter 5--The Imbalance of Relationships. This is also a bit of a tribute episode to actor Matthew Perry from the show "Friends," who battled the spiritual attack of addiction for many, many years. I also share three (actually four) heartbreaking stories of relationships gone bad, and show you the easiest way to love in the way God wants us to. AND, in the way that brings balance to our...

I struggled putting my words together for this week's regular episode, which was supposed to be chapter 5 of my book, because this situation in the Middle East has been dominating my thoughts. I got into some heated arguments (again) with my family. And it wasn't even my Muslim family members that I clashed with, but rather, my Christian siblings. And this disturbed me. So I felt compelled to give my perspective on the situation. Who occupied the land first? And who does it belong to now?...

In this episode, I'm reading from my new book, "Imbalance: The Addict's Guide to Fixing Our Broken Lives." This week is Chapter 4, The Imbalance of Busyness. I think many, many people, old and young, rich and poor, of every location and demographic suffer with having too busy lives that are chaotic, disorganized, and overwhelming. I bet you weren't aware of how damaging this can be, and how frustrating this is to God. In fact, were you aware that this could not only be the one main thing that...

In this episode, I'm actually inserting a mini-chapter in between chapter 3 and chapter 4,  because I realized that some of you may not actually know what it is that you're competing for in this contest of life. Do you really know what Heaven is? Do you understand what's revealed to us about our inheritance throughout the Bible? If not, have a listen to this succinct description (with resources for more info) about what Heaven really is, and where we all go when we die. As referenced in my...

In this episode, I'm reading from my new book, "Imbalance: The Addict's Guide to Fixing Our Broken Lives." This week is Chapter 3, The Imbalance of Self-Importance, or "Know Your Role." In this episode, I share the deepest, most intimate and personal story. I was finally able to dissect the real reason why I fell into a gambling addiction, and I break down the raw, hard truth of it. And I also share a crazy scary story about a spiritual demon attack that happened to me while my hubby and I...

In this episode, I'm reading from my new book, "Imbalance: The Addict's Guide to Fixing Our Broken Lives." This week is Chapter 2, The Imbalance of Self-Worth, Value, and Influence. I think you'll be kind of surprised what I deem to be the biggest, most off-balance thing that nearly everyone around the world has as an idol to give them self-worth, value, purpose, and importance. Check out all the things I have to say about the internet and social media. Does social media come from the devil?...

Welcome to the Feeling Better Podcast! In this week's episode, I'm diving into chapter 1 of my new book, Imbalance: The Addict's Guide to Fixing Our Broken Lives. This first chapter dives into what I think is for most of us our number one primary imbalance, which is having the wrong priorities. Especially having one big, unbalanced priority that holds us in bondage as a slave to it. You'll see what I mean when you listen. If you have any feedback, please reach out! I love to hear from my...

Here it is, friends. The introduction to my new book, "Imbalances: The Addict's Guide to Fixing Our Broken Lives." In this introduction episode, I talk about what "balance" means from the Christian perspective, and why/how the armor of God is so critical when fending off the spiritual attack of addiction. I share how this book is a form of ointment for our eyes. And yeah, I talk about Bosu balls. ;-) And my birthday. Do you know what a Jubilee year is? If not, you'll find out here! I hope you...

Hey, friends! Check it out. I have a major announcement! But I've got to tell you the backstory first, about why God put the spiritual attack of gambling addiction on me, and what He's got planned for me next.
