In our fast-paced world, many women are juggling more than ever—careers, family, relationships, and personal goals. If you’ve ever felt like you’re trying to keep it all together while burning out at both ends, you’re not alone. The good news? You don’t have to live like this, and there is a way to find balance.

With personal experiences as a former C-suite executive and as a mom, Dr. Lacey understands the pressures women face and shares strategies to reclaim confidence and live authentically without falling into the burnout trap.

In this insightful conversation, we tackle:

  • The signs of burnout that go beyond the workplace.
  • How perfectionism can lead to burnout and how to let go of it.
  • The role of workplace culture in burnout and what needs to change.
  • Practical strategies to balance career, family, and personal fulfillment.
  • How to build unshakeable confidence and prevent burnout in leadership roles.

Dr. Lacey offers a fresh perspective on how women can overcome the unrealistic expectations placed on them—whether in the office or at home—and why authenticity is key to thriving.

But we’re not giving it all away here! Tune in to hear Dr. Lacey’s empowering story of grit, resilience, and practical tips that will inspire you to take control of your life and prevent burnout before it takes over.

How Can You Prepare for the Unexpected?

Tabitha shares crucial tips on how to create a personalized safety plan—from where to safely store vital documents to the simple items that could make a world of difference in a crisis (like clean underwear and a toothbrush). But more than that, she emphasizes the importance of protecting yourself emotionally and spiritually during the process of leaving an abusive relationship.

Faith as a Guide Through Darkness

As we explore the role of faith, we discuss how churches can be a source of support, but also where they sometimes fall short. Tabitha doesn’t shy away from the difficult conversations, like reconciling faith with the harsh realities of abuse and understanding God’s true intentions when it comes to divorce and protection for the vulnerable.

Domestic Violence, Faith & Healing (Part 1)

On By Naty MatosIn ThriveLeave a comment

Are you ready to confront one of our most difficult yet vital conversations? In the latest episode of Thrive by The Rising Muse, we sit down with renowned trauma therapist Tabitha Westbrook for an unflinching look into domestic violence and its devastating impact on families, mental health, and faith.

The Darkness of Coercive Control

Too often, domestic violence is misunderstood or oversimplified. In this eye-opening episode, Tabitha walks us through the different, often invisible, forms of abuse like coercive control—where the victim’s freedom, identity, and autonomy are systematically stripped away. It’s not always about physical harm. As Tabitha explains, it’s the slow, methodical erosion of a person’s sense of self that can be just as, if not more, damaging.

Faith and the Journey to Healing

What role does faith play in both surviving and healing from domestic violence? As a survivor herself, Tabitha shares her deeply personal story of how God walked with her through the pain and ultimately called her to help others do the same. In this episode, she offers practical advice on how faith communities can provide real, life-changing support to those in abusive situations.

The Moment of Freedom

One of the most powerful moments in the conversation comes when Tabitha describes the importance of regaining autonomy. She recounts stories of survivors—some of whom felt a rush of liberation in the simplest moments, like sitting in a car, knowing they finally had control over their own lives. It’s a reminder that even in the darkest times, freedom is possible.

Why You Can’t Miss Part 2

This episode is just the beginning. We’ve only scratched the surface of this complex and important topic. In part two, we’ll dive even deeper into the spiritual and emotional aspects of domestic violence recovery, as well as provide actionable resources for those who may be suffering in silence.

Unlocking the Secrets of OCD with Author Marin Canaday

On By Naty MatosIn ThriveLeave a comment

In our latest episode of Thrive by The Rising Muse, we dive into an eye-opening conversation with Marin Canaday—an author, national volleyball champion, and someone who’s bravely battled OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) since childhood. Marin shares the deeply personal journey that led her to write My Little Monster, a children’s book that creatively illustrates the struggles of living with OCD through the metaphor of a “little monster.”

But this isn’t just any monster story—it’s a powerful exploration of the invisible battles that many face daily. Marin opens up about how her OCD shaped her identity, from her childhood experiences of compulsively confessing small mistakes to her adult struggles with terrifying obsessive thoughts. Yet, her story is one of hope, resilience, and the importance of seeking professional help.

In this episode, we explore key questions:

  • How did Marin’s OCD influence her life as a student and athlete?
  • What role does faith play in navigating mental health challenges?
  • Why is professional support crucial when managing OCD, and how can it make a difference?

Marin’s vulnerability and strength shine through as she discusses how she continues to manage her OCD and the vital role that both therapy and faith have played in her healing process. This is more than a story about overcoming OCD—it’s a testament to the power of resilience and finding purpose even in our darkest moments.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by anxiety, mental health challenges, or simply want to better understand the struggles of those with OCD, this episode is a must-listen. Marin’s journey is a reminder that while we all have our own “little monsters,” they don’t have to control our lives.

Marin Canaday grew up with obsessive-compulsive disorder from early childhood. However, she was
not formally diagnosed with OCD until her adult years. She found studying and sports helped her cope
with her OCD as a child. In adulthood, she continued to struggle with her anxiety disorder but had to
find new ways to cope as her athletic career and days of studying were behind her. Today, Marin writes
in her free time. She is the author of My Little Monster and The Very Best Me, children’s picture books
that describe her struggle with OCD. She writes to encourage children struggling with anxiety
disorder. To connect with Marin go to her website.

Tune in to hear Marin’s incredible story and learn how you, too, can face your own monsters with strength, faith, and the right support.

The Parable about Parables

On By Naty MatosIn Articles, Writing HappeningsLeave a comment

By John Avery

(Context: Matthew 13:1-23. Parallels: Mark 4:1-20; Luke 8:4-15.)
Story time was over. The keel of the fishing boat ground into the gravel along the shore,
and the men stopped rowing. Jesus climbed over the side and paddled to the beach. As He
and the disciples gathered their gear and prepared to go back to the house to rest, one of
the disciples raised the question they had all been too shy to ask until the crowd
dispersed.
“Why do you speak to them in parables?”

I think we get stuck in the Parable of the Soils. 1 What I mean is that we spend so much
time trying to decipher the analogies and apply them to our lives that we miss the core of
what Jesus said. This is one of Jesus’ most important teachings because it answers the
disciples’ question, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” Jesus’ answer is the key to
hearing the voice of God and therefore the key to spiritual growth.
So, why did Jesus use parables? At first, His explanation seems cryptic:
Jesus answered them, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of
heaven, but to them it has not been granted. . . . Therefore I speak to them in parables; because
while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. . . . But
blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. (Matthew 13:11, 13,
16)
Every crowd listening to Jesus’ teaching contains two types of people; those who have
functioning spiritual ears and eyes, and those who do not. Ears receptive to sound waves
and eyes able to resolve light patterns are not enough. Spiritual sight and hearing happen
when the heart understands, the mind perceives, and lives return to a healthy relationship
with God (Matt. 13:14-15). The disciples were spiritually receptive; they could grasp the
mysteries of the kingdom of God and change to live the kingdom lifestyle. Jesus used
parables to see which people were in which group. The Parable of the Soils illustrates this
essential lesson.
Every parable and truth about the King and His kingdom acts in the same way. Like a
seed, it tests the soil of the heart. Many people hear God speaking directly to them, or
through His followers, but only superficially. The truth is quickly snatched away from
hard hearts. Difficult times, when temptation or opposition comes, shrivel it. Distractions
steal all time and energy, hindering application. Only hearts that are like soft, deep, clean
soil will apply the truth in such a way that life changes. Each time that Jesus concludes
with the phrase, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear,” He means the ears of the will.
So, next time God drops a seed of truth into your life, will your will nurture it to fruition?
