278 | Your Nervous System Is Stuck in Stress - How to Retrain It in Christ, with Cynthia Damaskos

If you find yourself unable to relax - even when everything looks “fine” on the outside, you’re not alone.

Many of us women live in a body that hasn’t learned how to feel safe on a daily basis.

On this topic, I had the joy to (re)interview Cynthia Damaskos, a Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach, and we shared insights about retraining our inner response patterns grounded in faith and practical wisdom, to open the door to real peace, energy, and joy.

This episode will help you to lean into small, joy-filled moments - like slow mornings, creative hobbies, intentional pauses - and remind your soul (and your nervous system) that it’s okay to breathe.

In this conversation, we discuss how:
☀️ Your body may still react to past stress, even when danger is gone.
☀️ Healing and renewal begin with a sense of safety.
☀️ Slowing down intentionally helps reset your internal rhythms.
☀️ Small daily practices can restore peace, clarity, and energy.
☀️ Caring for yourself holistically allows you to serve others with strength and presence.

Cynthia's favorite Bible verse reminds her to flourish and rejoice in God's goodness: "I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor - it is the gift of God." ~ Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 (NKJV)
