  • When The Body Answers Before You Do – Sandee Byrd

    When The Body Answers Before You Do – Sandee Byrd
    Dec 18 2025
    Emotional Elevator with Sandee Byrd Have you ever said, " I just need a break," and suddenly you're sick? Or thought "I can't keep going like this," and your body instantly agreed? In this episode of Emotional Elevator, Sandee Byrd, Transformational Coach and Empowerment Expert, explores how we literally talk ourselves into experiences - especially the ones we don't think we're manifesting. When you repeatedly say I want rest, even silently your body will find a way to give it to you. Sometimes that "way" looks like forced downtown, sickness, exhaustion, or your body hitting the brakes when your mind refuses to. But there is a powerful flip side: the same intentional voice that can talk your body into healing. What you speak, think, and believe sends instructions through the nervous system. Fear can create symptoms, and belief can dissolve them. Stress can manifest as illness, and safety can manifest as recovery. This episode reveals how the body keeps the score - but your mind writes the outcomes. This episode will help you: *Recognize that the words you speak become the instructions for your body... *Understanding why saying you need rest often shows up as sickness... *Learning that speaking healing creates healing in the body... *What your mind says your body responds...

  • Stop Wearing Labels As Identity – Sandee Byrd

    Stop Wearing Labels As Identity – Sandee Byrd
    Dec 11 2025
    Emotional Elevator with Sandee Byrd Have you ever tried to explain a part of yourself that wasn't broken- just misunderstood? In this episode of Emotional Elevator, Sandee Byrd, Transformational Coach and Empowerment Expert opens up about labels she once carried like a second skin: abandonment issues, PTSD, ADD, ADHD, emotional dysregulation, people-pleasing, depression, and more. Each label felt like an explanation she owed the world... and to herself. Sandee realized she was wearing labels as her identity or as badges. But what if nothing was ever broken? Sandee will take you through how we collect these labels - sometimes for clarity, sometimes for survival - and how easily we shift from being reference points to becoming restrictions. These labels were never meant to define you, limit you, or hold you back from who you are becoming. This episode invites you to release the need to justify your feeling, stop over-explaining your existence, and step into the truth that you are not broken. You can change anything - without explaining everything.

  • When Faith Feels Silent: Trusting The Season Of Not Knowing

    When Faith Feels Silent: Trusting The Season Of Not Knowing
    Nov 12 2025
    Emotional Elevator with Sandee Byrd What do you do when your prayers feel unanswered, the signs aren't clear, and God feels quiet? In this heartfelt episode of Emotional Elevator, Sandee Byrd, Transformational Coach and Empowerment Expert, explores one of the most challenging spiritual seasons we face- the silent in-between, where faith feels tested and directions seems hidden. Sandee shares how the quiet seasons aren't abandonment - they are alignment. Silence is often where God prepares you, strengths you, and shapes you for what is next. The "not knowing" isn't punishment it's an invitation to deepen trust, release control, and allow what is being designed for you to unfold. This episode will speak to your heart if you're in a chapter where the path is unclear, the answers aren't arriving, or you feel like you're standing between who you were and who God is calling you to be.

  • Boundaries & The Body – Sandee Byrd

    Boundaries & The Body – Sandee Byrd
    Oct 22 2025
    Emotional Elevator with Sandee Byrd Have you ever said "yes" when your body screamed "NO"? Do you notice your shoulders tighten, your breath shallow, or your stomach twist when you feel pushed past your limits? What if your body isn't betraying you- it's protecting you? In this episode of Emotional Elevator, Sandee Byrd, Transformational Coach and Empowerment Expert, explores how your body becomes the messenger when boundaries are blurred or broken. Every time you silence your inner voice or say "yes" when you mean to say "no", your body keeps the score - through tensions, fatigue, anxiety, or even inflammation. Sandee unpacks how your nervous system reacts when you override your truth and teaches you how to recognize your body's early warning signals. You'll learn to listen beneath the noise - to feel the "no" that lives in your gut, the "enough" that lives in your posture. Because boundaries aren't walls- they're the language your body uses to protect your peace.
