About this listen

If stillness feels hard, prayer feels distracted, or your body never fully relaxes, you’re not alone - and you’re not broken.

In this episode, I’m joined by Madison Adekunle, founder of Mercy in Movement, for a conversation about how stress and trauma live in the body and affect the nervous system. We explore why slowing down can feel uncomfortable, how gentle movement and breath help the body feel safe again, and how to begin regulating the nervous system without adding more to your plate.

We also address the controversy around Christian yoga with grace and clarity, and share practical, accessible tools you can try immediately—no quiet room, yoga mat, or extra time required.

This episode is for anyone who wants healing that goes deeper than mindset alone and is ready to reconnect with their body in a compassionate, sustainable way.
