Jamie Winship Reveals Why Fear Is Tearing Us Apart
5d ago01:09:02Tap to summarizeThis is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Jamie Winship — former Metro Washington, DC police officer, author of Living Fearless and The War of World Views, global speaker, identity teacher, and longtime voice on hearing from God — for a faith-filled conversation about fear, identity, conflict, listening prayer, and why peace starts inside the human heart. Jamie shares why he believes all external conflict starts with internal conflict, and why the root of that conflict is fear. He explains how fear grows from a wrong view of God, a wrong view of yourself, and a wrong view of your neighbor — and why perfect love is the only thing strong enough to cast it out. Then the conversation turns practical: confession, false identity, scarcity, separation, shame, anxiety, prayer, receiving from God, worldviews, peace, listening prayer, and how to ask the Lord the simple questions Jamie has used for decades: What do you want me to know, and what do you want me to do?

Jordan Rubin Reveals the Bible-Inspired Tea Years in the Making
1w ago00:47:25Tap to summarizeThis is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Jordan Rubin — New York Times bestselling author, founder of Garden of Life, Beyond Organic, and Ancient Nutrition, regenerative farming pioneer, inventor, father of six, and widely known as America’s biblical health coach — for a faith-filled conversation about Healing Leaves, a tea seven years in the making. Jordan shares how God first put the idea on his heart while he was listening to Ezekiel 47 in his prayer sauna. The verse says the fruit will be for food and the leaves for healing, and Jordan says that moment became the start of a long obedience journey involving Scripture, farming, research, and nearly one million fruit trees. Then the conversation turns practical: fruit tree leaves, polyphenols, flavonoids, tannins, microbiome support, blood sugar, digestion, immune health, inflammation, hydration, caffeine-free tea, regenerative organic farming, and why Jordan believes Healing Leaves is not just a product but a biblical recipe anyone can make from fruit tree leaves.

Menopause Wake-Up Call: The Symptoms Women Miss with Andrea Donsky
2w ago01:06:09Tap to summarizeThis is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Andrea Donsky — nutritionist, menopause educator, entrepreneur, seven-time published menopause researcher, certified perimenopause and menopause health coach, founder of Morphous, and author of Nourishing Menopause — for a practical conversation about the symptoms, nutrition, supplements, and mindset shifts women need in perimenopause and menopause. Andrea shares how one conversation at a party opened her eyes to the reality that menopause involves far more than hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. Her research now tracks more than 100 symptoms, including fatigue, brain fog, sleep issues, memory changes, anxiety, libido loss, joint pain, focus problems, and changes in metabolism and body shape. Then the conversation turns practical: magnesium, fiber, omega-3s, vitamin D, blood sugar balance, protein, good fats, digestion, plants, hydration, seed oils, CGMs, stress, and why women need to relearn how to care for their bodies in this season. Andrea also shares her non-negotiables around gratitude, mantras, spirituality, and her belief in an angelic team as part of her daily health rhythm.

Pamela Shaw’s 90-Day Method To Reset Your Purpose, Habits, Sleep, And Faith
2w ago01:01:11Tap to summarizeThis is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Pamela Shaw — mentor, coach, teacher, creator of the 90-Day Personal Growth Planner, and founder of Grace and Growth Academy — for a faith-filled conversation about purpose, stillness, goal setting, grief, health, and learning to live with intention. Pamela shares how she moved from nearly four decades in direct sales into a new season of mentoring men and women in personal growth, habits, leadership, and faith. She explains why purpose changes through different seasons of life, why meaning matters more than chasing happiness, and why stillness is often the place where God begins to reveal what we are missing. Then the conversation turns practical: how Pamela frames her day, protects her sleep, uses journaling and prayer, sets 90-day goals, builds accountability, and handles stress through identity in Christ. She opens up about miscarriage, the loss of a friend, walking through her husband’s ALS diagnosis and death, and how faith carried her through the hardest seasons of her life.

QVC Star Antonella Nester Opens Up On Cancer, Faith, And Life After Losing It All
3w ago01:17:32Tap to summarizeThis is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Antonella Nester — former QVC host, jewelry lover, cancer survivor, faith-filled storyteller, and full-time boat-life creator — for a raw conversation about losing her job, losing her house, facing leukemia and breast cancer, and finding a completely new life on the water. Antonella shares what happened after she was let go from QVC, how the stress and heartbreak affected her body, and why she believes God carried her through the darkest season of her life. She opens up about chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, her husband’s heart attack, financial loss, and the emotional pain of leaving behind a dream job she loved deeply. Then the conversation turns toward healing: why Antonella and her husband sold their home, moved onto a boat, built a new community, and found peace with less. She talks about faith, spiritual warfare, social media, rebuilding her work on her own terms, and why she now believes life cannot wait for “someday.” TODAY'S SPONSORS Waco Shoe Company - CODE: KERSTIN20 | wacoshoecompany.com BONUS CONTENT: JOIN OUR COMMUNITY ON YOUTUBE YouTube Community PROGRAM Fast2Faith Fasting Program -https://shorturl.at/qky9O CHAPTERS (00:00) Losing Everything At Once (01:03) Meet Antonella Nester (03:32) Cancer, Job Loss, Crisis (07:34) The Pain Of Leaving QVC (18:00) Stress Hits The Body (27:11) Faith In The Worst Days (36:23) Moving Onto A Boat (43:05) Building A New Community (56:16) Less Stuff, More Peace (1:06:41) Prayer And Final Blessing WORK WITH KERSTIN Workshops & Events Health Coaching with Kerstin MORE ABOUT KERSTIN Website: kerstin-lindquist.com Instagram: @kerstin.lindquist Facebook: Kerstin Lindquist YouTube: @Kerstin.lindquist TikTok: @kerstin.lindquist CONNECT WITH ANTONELLA NESTER Facebook: Antonella Nester YouTube: AntonellaMNester Production, Distribution, and Marketing By Massif & Kroo Website: MassifKroo.com For inquiries/sponsoring: email hello@MassifKroo.com.

Detox, Coffee, Cholesterol & Hidden Toxins: Debbie Allen Wright Breaks It Down
3w ago01:08:30Tap to summarizeThis is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Debbie Allen Wright — board certified functional health coach, longtime friend, and fellow wellness researcher — for a real-life girlfriend conversation about toxins, clean product swaps, detox, caffeine, genomics, cholesterol, inflammation, blood testing, endometriosis, hormones, and learning how to advocate for your own body. Debbie shares the app she’s been loving for product testing, why she’s rethinking everything from toilet paper to beauty products, and how small swaps can help reduce toxic load without making life feel impossible. Kerstin and Debbie also dig into detox programs, coffee, caffeine timing, mold exposure, sweat, HRV, protein, and why the same toxic exposure may affect two people very differently. Then the conversation gets practical: triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, hs-CRP, total cholesterol-to-HDL ratio, calcium scans, statins, functional testing, Whoop bloodwork, Superpower, Function Health, and why red numbers on a lab panel do not always tell the full story. They also talk through endometriosis, why surgery is still often required for diagnosis, finding the right specialist, HRT pushback, cancer screening decisions, faith, and trusting that you did the best you could with the information you had.

Doctor Troy Spurrill Says Trauma, Poor Sleep May Drive Chronic Illness
4w ago01:08:54Tap to summarizeThis is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Dr. Troy Spurrill — functional medicine doctor, chiropractor, functional neurologist, and founder of Synapse — for a direct conversation about trauma, chronic illness, vagus nerve stimulation, spirituality, sleep, root-cause healing, and what may really be driving symptoms that never seem to fully resolve. Dr. Spurrill explains why so many people live with one part of the brain saying “go” while another says “stop,” and how that internal stress pattern can show up as fatigue, bloating, fibromyalgia, low motivation, jaw pain, poor sleep, hormone disruption, and chronic inflammation. He breaks down how unresolved trauma, distorted identity, and constant fight-or-flight can keep the body from absorbing nutrients, recovering properly, or entering the deep restorative sleep needed for healing. Then the conversation gets highly practical: hidden sleep disorders, upper airway resistance, restless sleep, waking through the night, vagus nerve support, singing and worship, zinc, B6, magnesium, iodine, cysts, hormone stress patterns, and the non-negotiables he uses in practice. He also explains why faith, forgiveness, and identity work are not side issues, but central to how many people actually heal.

Kerstin Lindquist Gets Real About Calling, Money, Social Media, and Obeying God in the Dark
Apr 1701:08:30Tap to summarizeThis is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist delivers a direct solo episode on calling, purpose, money, influence, obedience, and the stories God uses to serve other people. Based on a workshop she taught for Zeal, she walks through how to name what you really want, uncover the deeper reason behind it, and stop pretending that success, money, and impact do not matter. Instead, she shows how those desires can be brought under God’s direction and used to serve others. Kerstin breaks down the difference between calling and purpose, the “five whys” exercise, how to share your story without oversharing, and why real influence starts with authenticity and service. She also gets practical about social media, platform-building, idolization, QVC, connection, and what it looks like to obey in the dark when God asks you to move before you can see the landing.

Cynthia Thurlow on Menopause, Gut Health, Stress, and Midlife Hormones
Apr 1401:11:17Tap to summarizeThis is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Cynthia Thurlow — nurse practitioner, menopause expert, speaker, and host of Everyday Wellness — for a direct conversation about perimenopause, menopause, gut health, hormones, stress, sleep, trauma, and what women actually need to understand about their bodies in midlife. Cynthia explains why so many women hit their 40s and 50s feeling inflamed, anxious, exhausted, and unlike themselves. She breaks down the gut-hormone connection, why trauma and chronic stress can speed up ovarian aging, how progesterone and estrogen shifts affect anxiety and mood, and why the “wheels falling off the bus” in midlife may actually be a wake-up call to change what is no longer working. Then the conversation gets highly practical: hormone replacement therapy, testosterone, cholesterol markers women should be asking for, intermittent fasting, muscle building, sleep, supplements, mold exposure, and the everyday habits that matter most. Cynthia also shares why women need to stop chasing every wellness trend and start majoring in the majors if they want real change.

Charlotte Gambill on Burnout, Sabbath, and the Stress Women Keep Carrying
Apr 1000:58:36Tap to summarizeThis is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Charlotte Gambill — author, speaker, mentor, and leadership coach — for a practical conversation about stillness, Sabbath, stress, health, grace, and what it really means to refill before pouring out. Charlotte shares why so many women are running on empty, how ignoring the warning signs leads to burnout, and why being with God matters more than endlessly doing for God. She explains the difference between activity and presence, how stillness builds knowledge and peace, why nature helps reset perspective, and what it looks like to stop living with every tab open in your soul. Then the conversation turns personal and practical: how to create real breathing room, what Sabbath should actually do for you, why sabbaticals fail when your mind never shuts off, how to recognize the rhythm of grace for your current season, and the health wake-up call that changed how Charlotte thinks about sleep, hormones, exercise, and stewardship of the body.
