Wholistic Hearts- A Journey from the Head to the Heart, Encounters with Jesus

On today's episode I sit side by side with my husband in the recording studio. Joshua and I walk through what our own growth has been like in the past year individually and as a couple. Our hope is that after listening to the show you can walk away with these two questions to ask your spouse: -How are you pursuing your own growth? -How are you pursuing connection and growth together?

As a mother of a high needs kid, I wanted to share this bonus episode with you with my special guest, Janel Springer. On Wholistic Hearts Podcast, we have been talking a lot about wholehearted healing. This current season is about pursuing connection with God and pursuing connection with others around us. Today's episode, I wanted to bring Janel on the show to talk about ultimately pursuing connection with ourselves in the midst of caring for high needs kids. Part of my own healing journey has been through the process of walking one of my sweet children through various diagnoses and trials. So much of my story of healing has been because I have seen my own wounded heart in the darkest seasons of parenting. Not only has mothering my son through these trials shown me the desperate need I have for Jesus, but it has formed me into who I am today. I would not be where I am today without this trial as a mama. If you are needing support as a mom with special needs or high needs kids, please reach out to Janel Springer here or you can join my Facebook Private Community group here. If you are interested in Janel's protocol she used with her own son, reach out on Facebook- she has a special coupon for you.

Join me today on Wholistic Hearts as we continue to talk through living our faith wholeheartedly. I had the pleasure and honor to interview Steve Backlund with Igniting Hope Ministries. You may recognize his last name because he is the husband to Wendy Backlund, who was our previous guest back on Episode 22. On today’s show, Steve and I discuss the importance of renewing our mind with truth. Romans 12:2 says, “Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.” Questions we talk about on the show: What are declarations? Why are they important? When we declare something that isn’t true yet, is that being in denial? Steve is the author of many books including Declarations- Unlocking Your Future, Igniting Faith in 40 Days, Victorious Mindsets (2021) , The Culture of Empowerment, Let’s Just Laugh At That Steve mentions Francis Frangipane’s book, The Three Battlefields, if you are interested in reading along with me, find it here.

On this week's episode of Wholistic Hearts, I interview the lovely Cherie Snyder- a trauma informed educator who enters into the broken spaces as a disciple, empathizer, and integrator. As we continue to pursue wholistic wholehearted living, the importance of covering the topic of trauma and checking in with our bodies is vital. We discuss: - fragmentation to becoming aware of the protected self and bringing it back into human wholeness -how we can honor our bodies when we have experienced trauma - how yoga allows space to reconnect with our bodies To find out more about Cherie and her practice, check her out on IG @deeplyrootedcollective or https://deeplyrootedcollective.com/

When the world feels heavy or your heart feels anxious with worry, the best thing we can choose to do is stop and bring our whole heart into Jesus’ presence. Using your imagination, we can begin to experience His peace. Through this encounter, you will find His peace and steady your breathing to align with Jesus’ very own breath. Music by John True “Anxiety” Wild Wonder “Forever Love” Marie “A Peaceful Moment”

Pursuing holistic wellness will inevitably require looking at our nutrition. Today on Wholistic Hearts, I interview my long time mentor, transformational wellness coach, and friend- Ashley Brooke Harbour. When working with clients, Brooke teaches us the most aligned way to pursue holistic wellness. With the New Year we can be pushing and grasping for a new workout program and new diet plan. However, through the approach of understanding the WHOLE person, we can navigate our approach to wellness by setting intentions. We have to consider the WHOLE picture of someone's life as we go after healing and wellness. When coaching clients Brooke looks at the person's lifestyle, mindset, and beliefs because it plays an important role in the approach of transformation. For more information on Transformational Health Coaching, find Brooke @transformationalhealthllc on IG. To work with me on Holistic Coaching, click here.

Vulnerability and risk is required for wholehearted healing and pursuit of authenticity in our faith. Today on Wholistic Hearts Podcast, I interview Darlene Kalawe- a beautiful wholehearted woman, mama, creator. Kristin and Dar discuss: - wholeheartedness is a deeper desire for authenticity and authentic living - how to bring our true colors - owning your own faith journey for yourself When we begin letting our deepest darkest parts of ourselves come out with God- those are the moments where God gets to be for us what He has always meant for us to be. To find out more about Dar, head to her IG - @dar.kalawe - @dawn.experiences And take a look at her beautiful earrings on Etsy here.

We will talk about self-care, eating, working out, relationships, including marriages and relationships with friends and family and wholehearted leadership. Wholehearted Living means we have to love ourselves well. Today I will be specifically talking about self care and why it is vitally important in the process of wholehearted living. So, how do we take care of ourselves? We are all in a constant state of resilience right now. It has been said we are living in a perpetual state of secondary trauma in the last year- so all the more reason to invest in pouring back into your cup.

Today on Wholistic Hearts I want to share with you a powerful tool to help ground us and remind us what is MOST true. When we declare something, “Say something in a solemn and emphatic manner” or “Openly align oneself for or against (a party or position) in a dispute.” Our words have the power to bring life or death to any situation or any person. The world has caught on to the amazing power of affirmations. When we declare what is Kingdom Truth, we begin to illuminate God's testimony in our lives. Join me today as we walk through declarations. For more information about my upcoming Heavenly Commission online coaching course, head to https://www.kristinfieldschadwick.com/products.

The beginning of 2020 the Lord gave me the word, "Powerhouse." Little did I know the intention behind the word. All I knew is I felt weak and not powerful. He led me in this Encounter the first half of the year over and over. I pray this guided meditation helps you to release and allow God's powerful mighty waters move through you.

As I have been preparing for my upcoming course- The Heavenly Commission- I have realized that some people may feel they are lost and don't have a dream. Maybe they have given up on dreams because too many times their heart has walked through failure. Or maybe they have fulfilled dreams and now don't know where to look next. Do you have a dream? Do you have a vision of where you want your life to go? Today on Wholistic Hearts, I will guide you through a specific process to help begin to unveil the dreams God has placed within you. Through this coaching session, I will help you begin to discover the places where you may have forgotten, given up on, or are just realizing the full potential ahead. Grab your journals to take notes! It's time to use our imagination to truly envision what God has in store for His beloved son or daughter. I'd love to hear how this exercise went for you!

Alright my Wholistic Hearts listeners, I promised I would record a show on how to be on the Offense instead of the Defense with Covid and any other sickness during this holiday season. *Disclaimer, I am NOT a medical doctor. Please talk to your doctor for medical advise. This is my perspective after 15+ years of walking through my own wellness journey- full of opportunities for growth through listening and honoring my body in the twists and turns of continual healing autoimmune disorders and all around learning about holistic lifestyles. Our health journey is a thick one. If you didn’t know, I have struggled with autoimmune issues for a solid 12 years. After my second son was born, I realized I had a celiac disease. Then after my last pregnancy of twins, I started developing all sorts of weird things like rashes, gut pain, bloatedness, sensitivities. My children have all had their own bouts of mystery illnesses, various skin rashes and allergies, and opportunities to research the reality of our food choices directly affecting the overall well being of our children. Through my journey, I have seen dozens of doctors, a handful of functional medicine doctors, holistic health coaches and most importantly I have researched many, many, many hours on natural remedies, solutions, cleanses, diets, read medical journals for fun, and acquired a lot of genuine knowledge. I wanted to share my thoughts on holistic health through this unique holiday season in which we find ourselves in. I also want to preface that this is not meant to shame you in anyway. Shame produces guilt. Guilt brings on more cortisol, which Lord knows we don’t need more cortisol. So, listen in for 12 ways to promote wellness these upcoming weeks. Who knows? It may become a lifestyle instead of a diet. For more information and for full show notes including my favorite go-to's for supplements, head to my website... https://www.kristinfieldschadwick.com

Yesterday as Joshua and I were walking our Banner Dog, I said, “I’m tired of being resilient. I’m tired of being flexible.” Do you ever feel that way? You just want to sit on the floor and just pout? I sure do. There are days when I feel on top of the world and there are days when I feel like I am standing in the middle of that quote “If you’re dreams don’t scare you, they’re not big enough.” The fear of the unknown, the uncontrollable, the lack of structure really freaks me out. So, I wanted to invite you into my process on today's episode of Wholistic Hearts...when I feel like I just don’t have it in me to be flexible or resilient. Need someone to help coach you through? I'd love to be your coach. Check it out here: www.kristinfieldschadwick.com/services Upcoming Events to Check Out: COMING SOON "Reengage Your Heart" Course will be available ONLINE! Sign up for The Heavenly Commission- starting the New Year by connecting to Who You Are, Why You are Here, and How to do that through Kingdom Perspective, Purpose, and Position.

For a couple years now, Kristin Chadwick has taken notice to Scott Erickson's ability to stir up deep resonating truths through thought provoking images on Instagram. Honored to have the talented and gifted artist on Wholistic Hearts, Kristin gets to talk about the importance of creativity, finding space to use our God-given creativity, and his new book- Honest Advent. Even though we have a few weeks to Christmas, Kristin wanted to share Scott's transformational meditative devotional. This is such a great way to connect with God himself- both fully human and fully God.

The Heavenly Commission Course -Building a Kingdom Foundation through Position, Perspective, and Purpose At the beginning of every year goals are set by many; however, these goals are oftentimes never met or attained. This happens because goals must start at the foundation: our identity. We are able to discover our identity when we learn to hear His voice. Once we know who we are, we can align ourselves to the mission which God divinely placed in us. I have developed this transformational course- to help you walk through the process of understanding your specific identity, mission, and goals. Once we foundationally know who we are and we know our specific mission, we then can create goals. Goals which are identity based, mission focused, and created by connecting with God, which in turn will leave you feeling confident in who you are and not feeling defeated or exhausted. This course will uplift you to an entirely new and elevated perspective, A Kingdom Based Purpose. This 8 week online video self-paced course will help you hear and discern the voice of the Lord using a variety of spiritual tools such as encounters, journaling, mindfulness exercises and biblical teachings. The most important tool will be time actually experiencing the heart of God for you. By discovering the character of God, we can learn more about ourselves as we are made in His image. Through hearing His vision and voice, you will walk away with a better understanding of your passions and dreams for yourself, your family, your business, and even your ministry. You will gain your specific mission to be able to create intentional choices and goals for this upcoming season. You will have a series of eight videos covering each of the three foundational keys to building an intentional and fulfilling season of life. I offer two levels of working through this course. The Silver Option includes the power packed videos. You get clarity on your position, perspective, and purpose all for $129. The upgraded Gold Level package of The Heavenly Commission includes the online video course, as well as, 1:1 coaching with me for 8 weeks. We will have focused 45 minute coaching calls each week- as well as access for questions and thoughts throughout the week for $699. For me, having someone there walking beside me during this transformation allowed me to stay accountable, focused, challenged, and intentional about my own growth and mission. I’d love to partner with you through coaching, prayer, encouragement, and guidance through this course. This will absolutely enhance your experience with this course. I am so excited for you to join me as we launch into 2021 with laser focused purposeful goals that will help pull all God is asking out of you. I expect the Holy Spirit to move, and we will have testimonies arise from this class over and over bringing fruit to the world. We are living in times where our Kingdom Identity needs to be known, needs to be fulfilled, and the body of Christ needs to rise up and be who God created us to be. Starting TODAY November 1, The Heavenly Commission is on sale through my website. We will be running some great sales throughout the next couple of months for holiday specials- so keep your eyes and ears open for your upcoming specials.

Depending on the age of your kids, I have five solutions to help you navigate a little time for you.

I sat across the table from my client as we discussed what she wanted to accomplish in the next couple weeks. She has been such a gift in my life and has taught me so much more than she can imagine. Her young heart open and ready to dig in inspires me weekly as we meet. A little whisper entered my mind to spur her on even further into a relationship with God and out of my mouth I say, "What about you make an encounter on your own?" Her eyes lit up with excitement and anticipation. I can tell you as I read her written encounter, I stepped into an intimate place where I could imagine being right with Jesus in a particular unique way- in her voice, in her experience. I loved every minute of it. I couldn't be more fulfilled than to see my client step into the spirit and say yes to Jesus leading her exactly where she needed. In turn, it blessed me eternally. And today, I want to share Kristin Good's encounter with you. Encounter Jesus today. As always, if you need a spiritual coach to help you navigate how to go deeper into your intimacy with God, please contact me [email protected]. Let's set up a free Transformational Call.

Today on Wholistic Hearts, Kristin explores what she would say to herself as a brand new mama fourteen years ago. Being a new mama can feel so overwhelming and not to mention exhausting. So what if you had a friend sit down and share the things they have learned over the years about motherhood. Kristin's list includes: - Stop researching all the things and trust your mama gut. - Be intentional with pouring into yourself during nap time. - Embracing the moments. - Develop a relationship with your body which is built on truth. For Kristin, she would have a lot to share to her young self but all through the filter of kindness and grace. Motherhood and growing up in Jesus is a beautiful and unique opportunity which can be a powerful experience. Mentoring and coaching young moms into an empowering place, living fully in their identity, and letting God illuminate their lives is at the core of Kristin's ministry. I am curious, what would you tell yourself if you could go back 15 years? For more information about Kristin's Coaching, click here.

Step inside a sweet conversation Kristin had with Jesus about reading through Scripture. Not only is it meant for our minds, but also our body and spirit. Join Kristin diving into one verse in this multifaceted epiphany of Isaiah 61:1. “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭61:1‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Want to go deeper in your spiritual walk?

Letting It Soak In (Part One) Hold Up. Let's just hit pause. Do you ever listen to a podcast and think, “Wow, I need to just sit on that and let it soak in?” Yep, so did Joshua and Kristin. These past few weeks on Wholistic Hearts Podcast have been jam packed with so much wisdom Joshua and Kristin wanted to make sure we are taking time to digest all the goodness. This week, Joshua and Kristin are discussing how Allen Arnold’s conversation on our previous show about Creativity in Chaos has become reality as of late more than ever. If you haven't listened to Allen's interview on Wholistic Hearts, go here. Joshua and Kristin's takeaways and nuggets they are holding: -Our gifting is a weapon of light. -Use our gifting to counter the chaos. -Your gifting will not be sunshine and rainbows. -Distinguishing the difference between hard time vs. chaos -Love Vs. Fear Driven -Are we savoring what we have accomplished and what that looks like Wholistic Hearts is sponsored by Kristin Fields Chadwick’s Podcast Productions.

This week on Wholistic Hearts, Jami Amerine, author of Stolen Jesus and Well, Girl, became an instant friend while we recorded this episode. (You'll have to excuse my giggles in the beginning...because well, that's just who I am.) Being a fellow wellness mama of youngsters who have allergies and celiac, we hit it off in connecting our hearts. The way the Holy Spirit nudged Jami’s heart in her own wellness journey and her kids’ journey is so inspiring. Jami talks about the verse “Everything is permissible but not everything is beneficial." (1 Cor. 10:23) She explains how this is the perfect place to lean into as we walk in our identity and wellness journey. So many women feel like they are rooted in failure like roller coaster weight gain or miscarriage or chronic illness. What if we let God weigh in (pun intended) in these holistic approaches to our lives? I hope you walk away from this episode feeling encouraged and more than anything it draws you closer to intimacy with your Creator.

On today’s episode, Kristin sits down with the revelatory author and speaker, Wendy Backlund. Wendy is the co-founder of Igniting Hope Ministries and also a leader in the Body of Christ through life changing encounters with God. She is the author of Living From the Unseen, Victorious Emotions, and much more. Kristin asks Wendy about her first encounter with Jesus and continues to explain what an “Encounter” actually is and how to use our imagination to experience the spirit realm.
