    338: Do This First Thing Every Morning with Addison Bevere
    2026/03/03
    I am so excited to be bringing this conversation with repeat guest Addison Bevere to you! Addison is the author of the book Words with God: Trading Boring, Empty Prayer for Real Connection, and his work has really stayed with me since our last discussion. I have, in fact, told so many people about how his heart for faith feels grounded, honest, and alive, and, in this new episode, we talk about his new prayer journal that accompanies his book which is designed as a 40-day invitation to build a more real rhythm with God rather than trying to achieve perfect performance. After all, prayer should not be performative!One of the themes that keeps coming up throughout our conversation is the idea that prayer isn’t about getting the words right, and I reflect a bit about my own experience learning to slow down and practice rest as a spiritual discipline, something I never really thought much about before. Addison explains how many people feel they are “bad at prayer” because they approach it through shame or expectation rather than connection, and, instead, he frames prayer as simply showing up honestly and paying attention.We also unpack how quickly our mornings can be hijacked by screens, anxiety, or the pressure to immediately start producing, with Addison sharing a simple but powerful practice: when you wake up, breathe, rest in the moment, and allow your mind and heart to settle before grabbing your phone. He explains how early morning brain states may be uniquely open to reflection, creativity, and spiritual awareness, and I also reflect on how this practice has helped me move from feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands to seeing them as opportunities to respond with love and intention. Addison highlights the importance of writing down fears, burdens, or questions that can help name what we are carrying and create space for clarity.If you have ever felt unsure how to pray, struggled with slowing down, or longed for a deeper sense of closeness with God, this conversation offers a gentle, practical framework for beginning. I hope that you enjoy this conversation with Addison, and, as always, I would love for you to reach out with your thoughts!In This Episode[0:35] - Welcome Addison Bevere back to the show![2:07] - Addison believes that prayer thrives on relationship, not performance, and frees us from shame.[5:48] - Showing up honestly before God each morning is more important than fighting distraction or cultural pressure.[8:16] - Addison asserts that morning openness invites rest and awareness, while phone use often replaces calm with anxiety.[11:02] - Listeners are encouraged to breathe, rest, and avoid phones after waking to help nurture creativity.[13:24] - Surrendering control each day leads to clarity, compassion, and wisdom.[16:57] - Addison reminds us that remembering answered prayers and embracing limits helps foster humility, trust, and deeper spiritual growth.[19:39] - I describe relying on the Holy Spirit to guide parenting and daily conversations for me.[21:58] - Hear how morning listening helps Addison speak compassionately rather than react from a place of insecurity.[24:49] - I reflect on how starting the day slowly helps me reflect and reconnect with God and my body.[25:51] - According to Addison, writing fears or pain gives language to emotions, helping awareness and release.[27:22] - Hear how anxiety can help signal inner needs, helping discern God’s guidance vs. condemning voices.[30:44] - True prayer invites closeness with God and others, avoiding religious rigidity.Links & ResourcesCrystal PaineThe Crystal Paine Show - 211.

  • 337: My First Colonoscopy

    337: My First Colonoscopy
    2026/02/24
    Just as a forewarning, this week's episode might be a little bit TMI, but I did mention it coming up in a recent episode – my recent colonoscopy! While I don't get into the especially gritty details, I talk openly with Jesse about my experience because I really wanted to share the full story. I kept hearing from people who were scared of the procedure or avoided it because of what they’d heard about the prep, and I was nervous too, especially after reading all the horror stories online, but I found that preparation and good guidance made a bigger difference than I had expected!Listen in as I walk you through why I had the procedures in the first place, including my long history with chronic anemia and how my doctors wanted to look for possible root causes rather than just treat symptoms. A big part of the episode is the prep experience because honestly, that’s what people tend to dread the most. However, I talk about starting a low-residue diet days early, sticking to very bland foods, and what it actually felt like to move into the clear-liquids phase. I share how hunger, brain fog, and low energy showed up for me and how surprisingly manageable the laxative process was compared to what I feared. I also mention small practical things that helped such as choosing certain drinks and realizing that some flavors quickly became unappealing once prep started.I then walk you through the procedure day itself - checking in, getting an IV, anesthesia, and what it felt like waking up after sedation. The sedation was so strong and peaceful that I can understand why people describe it as a really good nap. In fact, I kind of didn't want to wake up! I also reflect on how disorienting that it felt trying to talk afterward when my brain wasn’t putting words together correctly.I also, of course, touch upon recovery, what my results looked like so far, and why I truly believe that these screenings are worth it, so if you have been afraid of getting a colonoscopy, I really hope that this episode with Jesse makes it feel a lot more approachable!As always, please feel free to reach out! I would love to hear your thoughts!In This Episode[0:35] - This episode shares my colonoscopy and endoscopy experience, addressing fear, prep, and cancer detection.[4:44] - Hear how I underwent procedures mainly because chronic anemia persisted since childhood and pregnancy complications occurred.[7:16] - Hear how low hemoglobin and ferritin levels led my doctor to recommend colonoscopy and endoscopy for diagnosis.[10:42] - I reflect on how I began a strict low-residue diet early, avoiding fiber, fruit, vegetables, and acidic foods.[13:52] - Hear how the clear-liquid phase felt surprisingly difficult, causing intense hunger, weight loss, and constant emptiness.[16:36] - I share how clear-liquid days drained my energy.[18:39] - I avoided mixing Miralax with my favorite drinks because prep may have made those drinks unappealing later.[20:32] - Preparing for laxatives, I found the worst fears exaggerated; one nauseous hour passed and then relief.[23:49] - Hear how mixing Miralax with Gatorade surprisingly tasted fine, and calories plus electrolytes improved my energy.[26:00] - I share how I chugged 36 ounces of prep fluid over two hours, experienced mild thirst, and slept mostly well.[29:43] - I describe how the anesthesiologist warned of a “spicy” feeling before sedation, and I instantly lost consciousness.[32:47] - Hear how I was completely out under propofol sedation, awakening groggy but unaware of the procedure.[34:56] - Waking from propofol felt hypnotically peaceful, and my body stayed unusually difficult to rouse.[37:18] - Hear how I wanted more sleep after waking, felt groggy, spoke coherently, but couldn’t fully process conversation.[39:27] - Hear how, post-procedure, I was so disoriented that I dropped food in the car but still ate it![42:22] - Recovery was quick, and results looked good, although biopsies and stool tests are still pending.Links & ResourcesCrystal PaineCrystal’s Colonoscopy Instagram HighlightsSocial MediaCrystal Paine on Instagram (@moneysavingmom)Crystal Paine on Instagram (@crystaliscleaning)Crystal Paine on LinkedInCrystal Paine on TwitterCrystal Paine on GoodreadsMoney Saving MomMoney Saving Mom on FacebookMoney Saving Mom Deal Seekers Facebook groupcrystal@moneysavingmom.comOur Sponsors:* Check out Armoire: https://armoire.style/CRYSTALAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

  • 336: The Life-Changing Art of Self Brain Surgery with Dr. Lee Warren

    336: The Life-Changing Art of Self Brain Surgery with Dr. Lee Warren
    2026/02/17
    I have been eagerly looking forward to doing this episode ever since I got my hands on Dr. Lee Warren’s new book, The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery. The title alone had Jesse asking, “Wait… self-brain surgery?” Honestly, I actually had the same thought, but what Lee shares in this conversation completely blew me away. He is a brain surgeon, and he has discovered that the same principles he uses in the operating room can be applied by each of us to literally change our own brains - via our thoughts!Most of what runs through our minds every day is false, negative, or repetitive, keeping us stuck, but when we intentionally practice new ways of thinking, we can rewire our brains in real time and reshape the life that follows, and, in this episode of The Crystal Paine Show, Lee and I talk about why our culture often convinces us that we are powerless to change, why 80% of our thoughts are false, and how the simple act of noticing and choosing our thoughts can literally transform our neurochemistry, our bodies, and our perspective!Lee and I dive into practical tools - from prayer and meditation to quiet reflection - that help filter out the noise and build mental habits that help make us calmer, more resilient, and more intentional. We also explore the deeply human side of change - the grief, loss, and impossible days that can feel like they could crush us. Listen in as Lee shares his personal story of losing his son and welcoming a grandchild on the same day and how recognizing that two truths can exist at once (joy and sorrow) was life-giving and transformative.Tune in this week and see how science and scripture beautifully reinforce each other and how small, consistent actions can rebuild your mind, your habits, and your hope. If you have ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or powerless to change your thoughts and your life, then this episode will very likely challenge you, encourage you, and give you hope that real change isn’t just possible; it’s built into how you’re wired!As always, please feel free to reach out! I would love to hear your thoughts!In This Episode[0:35] - Welcome to the show, Dr. Lee Warren, author of The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery![1:13] - Lee argues that our thoughts physically influence our brains, giving us real agency over our lives.[4:46] - It's important to pause to examine thoughts because doing so allows for rational thinking to replace fear and rewires healthier habits.[7:21] - I reflect on how replacing false, negative thoughts with truth changed my brain, behavior, and parenting.[8:31] - What we focus on filters our perception, giving us responsibility over how life appears to us.[10:56] - Lee explains how consistently practicing positive focus rewires the brain - building calm, wise, and grounded habits.[14:38] - Lee argues that healing ultimately comes from focusing on the future, not dwelling on past trauma or suffering.[18:02] - Trauma breaks beliefs, not you, and small courageous actions retrain the brain for resilience![21:31] - Lee has learned how deep sorrow and real beauty can exist simultaneously, revealing hope even in darkness.[24:10] - I point out how many face a pit of grief where summoning the strength to act feels impossible.[25:07] - Hear how, for Lee, necessity forced action, showing how focused thoughts instantly change neurochemistry and emotional response.[28:28] - Lee explains how changing your thoughts intentionally produces real-time brain and body changes, proving that mental rewiring is literal.[30:05] - Lee and I discuss how you can only control your own responses and perspective, not others or circumstances.[31:45] - Ultimately, you can only control yourself, not others or circumstances.[33:19] - Lee reminds us that emotions are chemical events, not facts, and controlling your thoughts directs your emotional response.[35:22] - Recognizing your agency in daily choices shifts perspective and builds gratitude for what you can control.[36:35] - Lasting change requires lifelong practice and retraining learned patterns to create healthier mental habits!Links & ResourcesCrystal PaineBooksThe-Life Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery: Connecting Neuroscience and Faith to Radically Transform Your Life by W.
