It doesn’t mean ignoring the challenges […]

Our minds are constantly generating thoughts. But not every thought deserves to be accepted as truth. Sometimes we react to assumptions, fears, old wounds, and stories we have created without ever stopping to ask whether they are actually true.

Since February 2026, I have been researching acid reflux, GERD, Barrett’s esophagus, and hiatal hernias, going down more rabbit holes than I can count. I was hesitant to explore certain avenues because they seemed to lead right back to the PPI rabbit hole (proton pump inhibitors). I wanted to understand the cause rather than simply […]

For generations, Americans have been taught that foods labeled “enriched” and “fortified” are healthier options because vitamins and minerals have been added to the food.

Many of us spend years believing we are not enough. We focus on our mistakes, replay our failures, and hold ourselves to standards we would never impose on those we love or even on strangers. Yet God does not define us by our worst moments, our shortcomings, or the labels we have accepted along the […]

Many of us move through life carrying emotional wounds we may not even realize are still affecting us. Over time, heartbreak, grief, fear, and unresolved experiences can shape the way we connect with ourselves and others. This often creates invisible barriers around the heart.
