I'm so tired." "I don't have enough time." If these are the phrases on repeat in your head, it’s time for an intentional pause. Host Dana Lions welcomes you back to the Get Well, Live Well, Thrive podcast to kick off a brand-new season focused on "Healthy Self-Care."

The original name of this podcast is Get Well, Live Well & Thrive. I decided to broaden the name, and although I still could use it and I believe in it, it didn't feel like the right...

The world is loud, messy, and chaotic—and if we’re honest, it’s only getting more intense. But here’s the truth: I can’t fix the chaos around me, and neither can you. The only person I can truly steward, take ownership of, and change is the one I see in the mirror. In this episode, I’m slowing us down. I’m inviting you to step off the hamster wheel of stress, fear, and survival mode and take a few...

After a long pause, I’m back—and in this episode, I open up about what the last year has held: the highs and lows of recovery after cancer, writing new books, family milestones, and the deeper lessons I’ve been learning about freedom and growth.

If you need to pause and step aside to listen and wait before you move ahead DO IT! Don't worry what anyone else thinks about it. Being in step with the Lord is the best place to be.  Amazon https://www.amazon.com/RE...

We spend so much time raising kids, working, managing a home, volunteering, and helping friends but how often do we play? Kids know how to do this well. It's so natural to them. When they need to do what their parents or teachers tell them to do they do it but when it's playtime they don't hesitate to go all in and play. They don't struggle to play. Why do we lose that as we ge...
