Episode 12, Season 2 — Not Every Open Door Is Yours: How to Test the Spirit

Not every opportunity is from God. Some doors are divine assignments, but others are distractions dressed up as blessings. In this milestone episode — our 12th of Season 2 🙌 — Shantel gets real about learning to test the spirit behind every open door.

She shares a $25,000 lesson from saying yes to the wrong door, walks through a crash course on what fruit really is (and what it isn’t), and gives you a 7-step discernment checklist you can use in your own life.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• How do I know if this door is for me?

• What does it mean to test the spirit?

• How do I grow in discernment?

…this episode will answer your questions, equip you with tools, and remind you that what God opens no man can shut (Revelation 3:7).

✨ Journal prompts included at the end.
✨ Plus, we celebrate 12 episodes of building this foundation together.

Sometimes your stomach says “I’m full,” but your body is still running on empty. In this week’s Royal Wellness Wednesday, we’re breaking down the difference between fueling your body and just filling your belly.

I’ll share the science behind your “crown signal” (the stretch sensor that tells your brain when you’re full), how processed foods like chips, ice cream, and fast-food biscuits can glitch that signal, and why real fuel comes from whole, nutrient-rich foods.

You’ll hear about the breakfast sandwich I built — plant-based, hearty, and energizing — compared to a drive-thru version that leaves your body craving more. Plus, I’ll give you three practical steps you can start today to shift from fill to fuel without overwhelm.

And because nourishment isn’t just food, we’ll also talk about rest, environment, and even a simple way to create your own “beach vibe” wherever you are.

🌊 Whether you’re sitting at your desk or listening on the go, this episode will help you rethink what’s on your plate — and what’s in your life.

Have you ever caught yourself stuck on repeat—same job, same conversations, same routines—and called it “comfort”? That’s the complacent zone. It feels safe, but it slowly robs you of growth, healing, and the bigger things waiting for you.

In this episode of Glow Inside, Shine Outside, Shantel shares how she broke free from the complacent zone in her own life, why settling keeps you stuck, and how even the smallest steps—like trying something new, deleting old patterns, or letting go of toxic circles—can open the door to transformation.

You’ll also hear a deeply personal story about moving past shame, reclaiming freedom, and learning to love the body you have.

This is your invitation to step out of autopilot and into possibility. Because when you glow inside, you shine outside. ✨
