Have you ever felt paralyzed by fear or held back by perfectionism, even in your prayer life? In this encouraging episode, Rachel sits down with Dr. Nancy Meyer (chiropractor, Ironman triathlete, and courage coach) to explore how prayer and courageous action work together to transform our lives.

Dr. Nancy opens up about her own struggles with focused prayer and shares how she's learned to integrate prayer into everyday moments, from praising God during runs to praying through each stroke in open water swims. Her honest approach to prayer will resonate with anyone who struggles to quiet their mind or feels like their prayers aren't "good enough."

You'll discover:

  • How to pray when your mind wanders and focus feels impossible
  • Why praise is a powerful form of prayer
  • The connection between prayer, trust, and taking courageous action
  • How to integrate prayer into daily routines (folding laundry, walking, preparing meals)
  • Why "progress over perfection" applies to both your prayer life and faith journey
  • How to recognize and respond to Holy Spirit prompts through prayer

Dr. Nancy also introduces her 7-Day Total Wellness Kickstart, a free resource that integrates prayer with caring for your mind, body, and spirit. Whether you're struggling with fear in your prayer life, fitness journey, or faith walk, this conversation will inspire you to trust God, pray honestly, and take that first brave step.
