We Came To Hide At A Retreat And Accidentally Launched A Podcast - Ep 1

Описание: Two women walked into a retreat planning to stay quiet… and walked out woven together by faith, curiosity, and a shared ache for belonging. That connection sparked Heart & Soul Elevation - a podcast where Jesus takes the lead, and mind and body fall into alignment behind Him.

In this episode, we trace the surprising path from strangers to co-hosts, and from personal healing to creating a community for women who love God, crave honesty, and want wellness that actually restores instead of exhausts.

We talk about why so many Christian women feel out of place in church circles, giving endlessly while rarely feeling refueled, and why the typical “mind, body, spirit” model keeps missing the mark. Here, we flip the script and begin with the Spirit first. From there, the whole person can finally breathe.

You’ll also hear the science behind biblical community:
– How oxytocin increases in safe, faith-rooted relationships
– How cortisol quiets when we stop performing and start belonging
– How the nervous system shifts from survival to safety
– Why the “rat park” study reveals God’s design for connection
– How real sisterhood changes behavior, biology, and hope

We name the difference between striving and stewardship, between performing and belonging, and why the pressure-cooker version of the Proverbs 31 woman is wearing out an entire generation of believers. Our vision is simple: women pursuing Jesus first, stewarding health with wisdom, and living with renewed vitality that lifts families and communities.

If you’ve ever felt like the odd one out… or you’re ready to trade isolation for sisterhood… you belong here.
