  • The Hidden Cost of “Powering Through”: Why Your Body’s Stress Signals Deserve Attention

    The Hidden Cost of “Powering Through”: Why Your Body’s Stress Signals Deserve Attention

    Hey Beautiful Mama,

    You know that familiar afternoon crash – when your third cup of coffee has worn off and you’re fighting to stay focused through back-to-back meetings or mom life. Your body is sending clear distress signals, but modern life doesn’t exactly come with built-in recovery periods. So you push through, telling yourself this is just how things are now.

    But what if that chronic stress cycle isn’t just affecting your energy levels? What if it’s quietly undermining your body’s core systems in ways that compound over time?

    The Stress-Adaptation Connection Most People Miss

    Here’s what fascinating new research reveals: Your body has an intricate stress response system that evolved over millions of years. When functioning optimally, it helps you adapt to challenges while maintaining balance. The problem? Modern chronic stress essentially “breaks” this natural adaptation process.

    Think of your body like a car engine. Just as an engine needs the right oil pressure to run smoothly, your body needs the right balance of stress hormones. Too much pressure for too long, and systems start to falter.

    The Cascading Effects of Chronic Stress

    When your stress response stays activated too long, it triggers a domino effect:

    • Your immune system becomes suppressed, leaving you more vulnerable to illness
    • Digestion gets disrupted, leading to nutrient absorption issues
    • Blood sugar regulation becomes erratic, causing energy crashes
    • Sleep quality deteriorates, compromising cellular repair
    • Mental clarity suffers as cognitive resources get diverted

    The Breakthrough Solution Hidden in Ancient Wisdom

    This is where the fascinating science of adaptogens comes in. These remarkable plants have been used for millennia in traditional medicine systems to help the body adapt to stress and restore balance. Modern research is now validating their effects on everything from immune function to mental performance.

    The key insight? Adaptogens work differently than stimulants. Rather than forcing your body into an artificial state of alertness, they help optimize your natural stress response systems. This allows for sustained energy without the crashes.

    A New Paradigm for Modern Wellness

    The solution isn’t about powering through or masking symptoms. It’s about supporting your body’s innate capacity to adapt and thrive. When you give your systems the right support, remarkable transformations become possible:

    – Steady, crash-free energy throughout the day
    – Mental clarity that doesn’t require constant caffeine
    – Resilient immune function in challenging times
    – Balanced mood and stress response
    – Optimal metabolic and digestive health

    If you’re ready to explore how adaptogens could support your body’s natural balance, I recommend starting with a simple experiment. Our carefully curated Sample Pack lets you experience 7 different adaptogenic blends to find what works best for your unique system.

    The journey to optimal wellbeing starts with listening to your body’s wisdom. When you support its natural adaptation processes, extraordinary vitality becomes your new normal.

    Stay close to God, JC

    It is the LORD who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear

    or be dismayed.

    Deuteronomy 31:8

  • Where Hell Meets Heaven – My Postpartum Stories

    Where Hell Meets Heaven – My Postpartum Stories

    This is going to revolutionize motherhood once women experience it.

    I probably wouldn’t believe it unless I experienced it myself.

    I was in labor for 2 days with my beloved first born.

    It was extremely painful up until I decided to get the epidural.

    Afterward, I had lacerations down there, which made urination a living hell because it burned so bad every time I urinated, that I didn’t want to urinate anymore.

    The worst part was the broken tail bone. That pain was so deep that I could not sit down with my newborn for six weeks because of the pain.

    And that crushed my heart in ways I never knew possible.

    On top of being a brand new mother and trying to figure things out, I would kneel down to eat or lay down or eat standing up because I couldn’t sit down.

    The healing for both the vaginal and the broken bone seemed to last forever. My heart was deeply grieved. It hurts just to even think about it.

    I had my husband pick me up some turmeric from Walmart. I believe it was a 500 count and I took them by the boat load. Nothing – severe pain. It’s like I didn’t even take anything.

    Tears and tears. Frustration. Feeling like God was punishing me. I knew that was a lie.

    Felt pretty real though.

    I decided to get some quality pain killers, but as I was scrolling the website, I felt like God wanted me to get these new capsules that dropped, I didn’t really know what they were for, but I took a massive leap of faith because at the time, though we lacked for nothing, our budget was very tight.

    As soon as the capsules came in, although the instructions said to take three, I felt like God told me to take six. It was towards the end of the evening the next day I woke up with zero pain. ZERO PAIN.

    I weep. For the first time, I was able to hold our six week old son since being at the hospital sitting up. I cried again.

    I was pretty exhausted through that stage, experiencing lots of ups and downs, heartache, and there was a few brief times when there was bouts of depression about the situation.

    Now fast forward to our second son, which was born about a year and half or so after…

    I was prepared. Never again. Never again would I be caught unprepared like that.

    I was loaded up on supplements from the same company. I had a pain free child of birth, believe that or not. and I give God all the glory.

    That’s another story in itself, but I almost gave birth in the vehicle on the way to the hospital with our 2nd beloved.

    We made it just in the nick of time and I took a zero medication this time. That was not my choice ha ha.

    When I arrived to the hospital in the ER as soon as I got put into the room, I told the nurse that I wanted my epidural.

    She looked at me with the smile like if she was about to break out laughing and said it was too late. Not in a rude way, more like a “that ain’t happening” The baby was coming now!

    I was really shocked to hear that, but what can a woman do. I prayed. I quoted scripture. He came out immediately with a few pushes. It didn’t hurt – it was incredible. I felt everything. The Lord blessed me with a pain free child birth.

    Even though I got stitches, afterward, I healed almost immediately. The pain is about nonexistent. Maybe a 1/10. I was so loaded up with my natural health supplements. There was no mood swings, no weirdness, no depression, zero pain with urination. I felt absolutely. INCREDIBLE. Zero stress. I also stayed prayed up.

    I was taken my herbal collagen powder every few hours to recover immediately, and I saw it do wonders. I give God ALL the glory.

    Where the main focus is Jesus Christ and he is the main block the main color of the home and because He has been placed first everything else will follow.

    I took my clean energy teas & I felt like a queen. Emotionally. Spiritually. All of the above.

    1. Solle Vital– an alkaline, mineral rich drink to nurture and help sustain your baby by making the breastmilk rich, but also helps with stopping the bleeding because of the greens in it, which will help your recovery. Energy giving. Feels like an internal shower to me.
    2. Solle Royal. This was a star player at my healing journey. I took this every few hours because it’s going to help everything in the body as far as the tissues so that your recovery happens FAST. It will also give the skin a beautiful glow, and let’s be real, what woman or man doesn’t want beautiful skin, right? Did I mention it have natural pain killing properties? Awesome right?
    3. Cinnamate. I took several of these each day to help energize me, especially while I would breast-feed to stay awake and ensure my young man of God’s safety so I didn’t fall asleep, now because cinnamon acts as a blood thinner- I did hold off a few hours after childbirth before I took this, and I took it as I was led by the Holy Spirit. Zero problems. Vitamin and mineral rich make your breast milk very healthy.
    4. PI capsules (pain & inflammation) I got the large bottle of this one and it’s such an incredible weapon and tool to have by your side after delivery. Powerful. The ibuprofen like meds given at the hospital did absolutely NOTHING to help the deep pain I was in. This on the other hand- game changer. Took this every 4 hours as needed.
    5. LongeviD capsules– this is what helped my body recover immediately from the broken tailbone extremely nutritious. Natural painkillers.
    6. Solle Excell– a hormone drink that will help increase your breastmilk load it with minerals and vitamins as well. Taste like piña colada it’s a win win.
    7. AC cream– natural and clean pain reliever cream works so good.
    8. Solle Complete Protein– this is gonna help tremendously with your healing as well and I took this almost daily through my pregnancies. I strongly know that my sons are above average healthy! Both flavors are TEN. Double Dutch Cocoa & Vanilla Creme.
    9. Probio IQ. Mandatory. These gems help your breastmilk so that your young man or woman of God has a STRONG immune system. It’s passed on through your milk to their belly.
    10. Adaptable. Helps real good for any stressful situation. Made specifically for the founders postpartum wife.
    11. Renue. This is a Godsend calming tea. Think chill, rest, relax. Helps you get deep sleep without the sluggish effects of sleep hormones like melatonin. Rich in minerals. Great for the liver and heart. My favorite tea. So when Mama gotta nap & not mess around. This is your drink.
    12. Verdezymes. I believe the best calming enzymes on the market. They have double the amount of regular capsules. You are gonna want to make digestion easy for your body so that your body can focus on what matters most. This will help your body do what God made it to do- heal. And heal fast! It takes a massive load off your kidneys & liver.

    The nurses were so impressed with the childbirth. I gave birth so fast that by the time my husband checked in, it was just a few moments later our son was already born.

    He heard the cried as he walked down the hallway.

    The revelation that the Lord showed me, although I learned the hard way, will completely revolutionize motherhood.

    Imagine this…

    Mamas who actually get a really good sleep during their postpartum and motherhood years…

    Mamas, who wake up with energy and have almost endless energy throughout the day to do what God has called them to do.

    Mamas who feel absolutely in a great mood throughout their postpartum & the next 18 years of motherhood & longer…

    A world where there is no postpartum depression…look I can’t guarantee you this, but I believe based on what I went through- it will be a thing of the past. #JoyfulMama Listen to Holy Spirit because He alone will guide you in all things.

    Fathers who are also on board taking the same golden standard, and have all the energy they need to answer the call of God upon their lives and slay dragons while mothers are at home being the homemaker that God wants them to be.

    Imagine a generation of women who actually wanna be stay at home moms and have not been brainwashed into allowing society – like daycare’s and public schools to raise their children, but truly desire to watch over their homes as described in the book of Titus.

    And comes women who respect their husbands.

    Where mom and dad are the ones raising their children, I’m not strangers or people they don’t really know.

    Because it is written – first seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added onto you.

    There’s a blue print for this specific postpartum success and I am going to share it with you. Here’s what I took.

    I believe this will help birth A new era where mothers actually want to be mothers instead of being a brainwashed and into thinking that their main role in life is to serve out a 9 to 5 job until they are 65-70 years of age or go get some scam of a college degree. And I’m not putting down women who go to college because I am myself went down that road as an educated a.k.a. independent woman making bank.

    And having all those niceties and luxuries and delicacies, I can see that the happiest years of my life and the best season is a motherhood.

    So whether you’ve given birth or you are a spiritual mother, my message to you today is: your life doesn’t have to be a living hell, your home can be just like heaven, kingdom come home.

    Here’s what I had prepped in my Emergency bag postpartum that made my recovery such a breeze. And this is the formula has transformed such place of pain into a place of reign.

    Please pass this blog on to a Mama, especially a postparum Mama.

    I’m Im convinced this will save lives and childhoods and marriages.

    God, I cannot tell you what a night and day difference from my first to my 2nd delivery, recovery, postpartum, and my early motherhood years that’s Solle Naturals has literally helped me live again.

    Sometimes people go throughout life and they feel like there’s more but they’re not really sure what it is and how to get it

    This is part of it. This is part of God‘s best for this generation I ABSOLUTELY believe.

    Having tried so many supplements and having worked with one of the most brilliant herbalist and iridologist I believe of our time, this was her favorite company and I’ve not tried anything that compares to the results that it’s given me, especially when it is a daily consistent routine it’s completely unparalleled and the emotional and mental support it provides, and in the instant energy it provides.

    Solle Naturals – making motherhood great again.

    God bless you and as always, stay close to the Holy Spirit, for He is your very breath.

    Titus 2:3

    The aged women likewise, that they bein behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands.

  • Holy Spirit Health

    Holy Spirit Health

    Are you battling an illness and you don’t know why?

    Have you ever seen a very healthy looking person who passed away and you just couldn’t figure out why?

    They ate well, were fit, loved God, did all the basics that would seem to give them a long life?

    Beloved, what is often overlooked in health that could be costing you your life- is the spiritual aspect which is often overlooked by many.

    Last year it so happened that I saw hormonal imbalances, specifically prolonged menstrual Periods. Like 21 days a month bleeding.

    It wasn’t until I cried out to God that He reveled to me that the ROOT was spiritual.

    Access was being granted to the enemy because unforgiveness /bitterness was being harbored in the heart.

    The reproductive system was suffering.

    I had childhood that resembled a horror movie straight from the pit of hell, where great wickedness was committed regularly unto children that ought never to happen.

    As many times as I had said I’d forgiven them. Forgiveness is needed as often as forgiveness is needed.

    So if you are brought back to a painful memory or a traumatic event 300 times over a period of 5 years, all it takes is one thought, one feeling, one decision to enter into bitterness, unrighteousness anger unforgivesness.

    It also takes one decision to forgive, repent and get back into God’s presence.

    So it’s best to forgive EVERY TIME it comes up & GIVE IT TO GOD.

    When a person carries those things that God never intended for them to hold on to, they open themselves up in the spirit realm- giving legal access for the enemy to launch attacks.

    These attacks cause physical illness unless they are dealt with.

    So a person can be taking the best supplements, eating all the organic & clean herbs, working out regularly, looking physically beautiful, but if their spirit is not fully right with God & if it is broken, that is how illness can enter.

    I’d like to introduce you Holy Spirit Health.

    It’s a holistic health- mind, body & spirit approach.

    …

    So you might wonder? How do I “give it to God?”

    This is how:

    1. You say “God I give You everything. All thoughts feelings and emotions.” You are just doing what the scripture tells us to do. People tend to over complicate things. “Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.” Psalm 55:22
    2. You quote the appropriate scripture when needed. If your peace is gone, that’s a great indicator to start quoting scripture. Time to fight back for your peace that was given away.
    3. Don’t run from His presence. Run to it. Which means you will have to feel the pain instead of numbing it.
    4. Know that tears are not a sign of weakness as modern culture teaches- it’s a sign of strength in the Kingdom of God- a sign of healing. As long as it doesn’t turn into something God doesn’t intend- like sadness or sorrow. You should feel a sense of relief after the healing – like you are in a better spot.
    5. Get ready to fight for your healing if need be. God’s deliverance looks different for each of His children. Sometimes He will have you fast to remove the pain. Sometimes He may have you do something completely different.
    6. Don’t live your life according to your circumstances but live according to the word of God. Which means- speaking life over the situation even if you don’t see the change manifest yet. Even if you are not in the mood to speak life. That’s where maturity comes in and you put the flesh on check.
    7. Learning to STAND against the enemy & know that the battle is won. We win because Jesus has already won for us on the cross. It doesn’t matter what the lies say. What is God speaking over it? Get your word from Him so you KNOW what He is saying- that is all that really matters. That’s where your peace will come from. Not from the prognosis, not from the deadline of your bills or what your eyes see. All you need is one word from God. One word.

    Emotional woundedness will often manifest in a physical ailment which is why I can wholeheartedly recommend Solle Naturals- everything they create has something for the brain and adrenal glands- which means they make it specifically to support emotional health in a way that you can FEEL it.

    It is a company founded on lOVE.

    The owner had created over 200 herbal items for a very well know company. But when his beloved wife & mother had their sixth bundle of joy, she entered into post partum depression.

    He began to formulate things for her- out of love. Where she didn’t have to take a ton of capsules, 3 times a day, and did so in a way that is delightful.

    God gave her MASSIVE breakthrough.

    And as for me… they helped me live again. That is not an exaggeration but it’s a story for another time.

    So don’t ever think there is no hope. God has something amazing for you.

    I pray that this blessed you. And that you hold on to your Hope ALWAYS.

    God heals however He chooses.

    For me, He led me to this precious place & if you are wanted to reclaim your crown, this where I would start, after of course prayer.

    Stay yielded to God, Julianne

    And be willing to pay the price to stay yielded to God.

    Even when it hurts.

    Even when it gets uncomfortable.

    You can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens you.

  • Has Pain Left You Searching for Answers? Discover What God SAW That Could Change Everything

    Has Pain Left You Searching for Answers? Discover What God SAW That Could Change Everything

    Pain is something every human will encounter on earth.

    What we do with it will determine what we get from life.

    It will determine how God responds to us & the depths of our relationship with Him.

    Will you run to God when your heart aches or will you run to numb it?

    I’ve been dealing with a certain heartache.

    I’ve been searching for answers. Naturally as a woman of God, we go to the Father for these answers, or we ought to.

    The findings:

    He takes me to the book of Genesis.

    He speaks > then it’s manifests.

    He speaks WHAT HE WANTS TO HAPPEN.

    “Let there be light”

    “And there was light”

    He doesn’t just leave it at that.

    He goes to check His work. The fruit of His lips.

    “God SAW that the light was good.”

    In the Hebrew, the word “saw” also means to inspect, to learn about, to consider it.

    So He didn’t just speak something and close the book.

    He goes back to inspect it, to consider it.

    And so when we speak, we too are to inspect the fruit of our words.

    Are they yielding the fruit that we want to see?

    Are they filled with life?

    Are we building up our house?

    Modern culture teach people to speak death & have made a norm of it.

    To curse your blessing. To criticize your temple (your body). To put others and tear yourself down. This is straight from the pit of hell. This is not kingdom talk.

    So if we are not seeing the promises of God, we must ask… what are we speaking & what has the fruit of our words brought? What is the state of our heart?

    And if we don’t like it, we can always prayerfully change it.

    -Make declarations using the scriptures.

    -Feel the pain & run to God with it instead of running from God with it.

    -Seek His will & yield to it no matter how uncomfortable it might feel.

    -Inspect our words, speech & heart & thoughts constantly.

    -Take our thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ.

    These are just a few ways.

    You’re life doesn’t have to be a living hell.

    As always, Stay close to Holy Spirit, Julianne
