   Self-Care vs. Self-Sabotage: Living With a Hidden Disability

   What's the difference between taking care of yourself and quietly sabotaging your health? When you live with chronic pain, limited energy, or an invisible illness, that line can get blurry fast. In this episode of Intent on Purpose, host Laura Hansen Breksa talks with Heather Perron, wellness coach, podcaster, author, and speaker. Heather is a congenital heart defect warrior, breast cancer survivor, and lives with fibromyalgia. She shares honest, practical insight on how to use your limited energy where it matters most. In this conversation: What a hidden (invisible) disability is, and why resilience matters when no one can see you struggling Why it takes so many people 5-7 years to get diagnosed, and why women are often not believed The fine line between self-care and self-sabotage Why gentle daily movement helps, even on painful days Using the spoon theory as an energy "budget" The 80/20 approach to eating, and small swaps that make it easier Why "I deserve it" can become a trap, and what to say instead How to find community and support when you feel alone How loved ones can help (hint: skip the pep talk) Key takeaway: You are not alone, you are stronger than you feel, and there is always hope.

   Good Christians Can Say No and Other Smart Ways to Change Your Future

   What is taking your time, energy, and talents away from what matters most? In this episode of Intent on Purpose, Laura Hansen Breksa talks with Pastor K about getting unstuck, setting healthy boundaries, recognizing distractions, and making intentional choices about where we invest ourselves. Pastor Christina Gibbons, known as Pastor K, is a multi-award winning Christian author, pastoral counselor, and speaker who helps people recognize the lies keeping them stuck and replace them with biblical truth. Her work is centered on helping people move from surviving to thriving and walk confidently in the identity, freedom, and authority God has given them. In this conversation, Pastor K shares practical and faith-centered insights about: • Why saying no can be an important part of serving well • The difference between helping someone and doing what they need to do for themselves • Why getting unstuck often begins with healing from the past • How to stop living in the “rearview mirror” • Turning pain into purpose • Why distractions don’t always look like bad things • How boundaries protect your time, energy, and talents • How habits and relationships shape who you become • Why the people in your inner circle matter • How to recognize when you are in the wrong season with the wrong people • Why purposeful change can happen one step at a time One of the most memorable ideas in the conversation is simple: you don't have to change everything at once. Start somewhere. Take one step. Build from there. That is what living Intent on Purpose is about—being thoughtful about where you invest your time, energy, and talents, and making choices that move you toward what matters most.
