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. ✨

I wasn’t looking for peace the day it found me — but it showed up anyway, right in the middle of my mess. In this episode, I’m sharing how walls built to protect can end up keeping peace out, and how the fires of life can break open the hardest ground in our hearts. This isn’t about religion — it’s about the moment a real relationship begins, the kind that changes everything from the inside out.

You’ve been doing all the right things—drinking your green juice, using clean skincare, maybe even getting to bed at a decent hour… but your body still feels off. Foggy. Sluggish. Like it’s holding its breath.

This episode pulls back the curtain on the hidden stressors silently hijacking your energy—from outdated prescriptions and unmonitored medications to mineral depletion, toxic overload, and the lie that milk builds strong bones.

Inside, we break it all down:

• Why your thyroid might be crying out for more than just a refill

• What one Brazil nut a week can actually do

• How to build stronger bones (without the dairy)

• And the real reason your favorite candle might be messing with your hormones

✨ Plus, you’ll get our featured Royal Nectar wellness recipe, formulated to support your bones and give your skin that soft, healthy glow.

This isn’t just wellness talk—it’s a wake-up call.
Because pretending you’re fine isn’t healing. Listening is.
And your body’s been talking.
Let’s help you hear it.

Happiness feels good, but it never lasts. One phone call, one loss, one life change—and it’s gone. But joy? Joy can hold you steady even when everything else is falling apart. In this powerful episode of The Glow Inside, Shine Outside Podcast, we’re unpacking the difference between happiness and joy, why one is so fragile, and how to find the kind of lasting joy that carries you through life’s hardest seasons. We’ll go deeper than we ever have before, exploring how your spirit, soul, and body work together, and why true peace only comes when you’re living from the inside out. If you’ve been feeling drained, disconnected, or ready for a change, this is your invitation to pause, realign, and let joy take root. Tune in—and bring a notebook, because you’re going to want to sit with this one.

"How can I teach women to be set free when my own daughter won’t even take my hand?"

In this vulnerable episode of the Glow Inside, Shine Outside Podcast, Shantel gets honest about what it feels like to pour your heart into someone who just isn’t ready to receive it.

She shares why Royalicious has been quiet the last few weeks, the painful reality of “cushioning the fall” for someone you love, and the hard truth that we can’t change anyone but ourselves.

This episode is raw, real, and emotional—but it’s also a reminder that letting go is sometimes the most loving thing we can do.

👉 If you’ve ever felt like you’re running yourself into the ground trying to save someone else, this one’s for you.

Whether you’re just starting your healing journey or knee-deep in it—what’s touching your skin matters.

In this episode, we’re pulling back the sheet on cold process soap. From goat milk bars to “natural” fragrance, we expose the ingredients hiding behind clean labels—and what they’re really doing to your skin, your hormones, and your health.

Lye, fragrance, coconut oil, and even tallow? Oh yes, we’re going there. Backed by science we unpack how these “clean” bars might be disrupting your barrier, dehydrating your skin, and throwing your body off balance.

We share real testimonies, reveal how nutrients are destroyed during soapmaking, and talk about the moment that lit a fire under Shantel to create a bar that finally works with your body—not against it.
