Weeping in 5D

Posted on by beautybeyondbones

Hey friends!

So I’ve got a question for ya.

Pretty exciting news around here. Last week, I was approached about starting a podcast!

4506f73a-3086-11e8-9fed-0242ac110002
Shop this look!

As you know, this blog has been named the Top 3 Eating Disorder Recovery Blogs of 2017/2018. And so I’ve been approached to do a podcast about all things recovery.

Some of the topics would be about inpatient, how EDs are portrayed in the media, Body Dysmorphia, the intersection of faith and recovery, sports and ED, the dangers of diet culture, etc. Bringing on guests like health professionals, ED advocates, professional athletes, and if the stars align…maybe Demi Lovato! (A girl can dream, right?) haha

But my question is this: Would this be something you’d be interested in? The blog would stay the absolute same, there’d just be a podcast also available once a week on iTunes, Stitcher, wherever you listen to podcasts, for free.

And secondly, Would YOU want to be a guest on it and share your story? That’s the other exciting part! I’d love to bring YOU on, and hear your story, and talk about our recovery journeys, things we’ve found helpful, our experiences with treatment, etc. Let me know 🙂

So nothing is set in stone, and I’m literally just gauging the interest level and floating an idea, but I think it could be pretty dang cool if I do say so myself.

I mean, podcasts are all the rage. I don’t know if you guys listen to them with abandon like I do, but I literally listen to probably close to 3 different podcasts a day. While I’m cooking, cleaning, getting ready, working out, during my commute. I’ve always been a “learner” and so I love to listen to fascinating discussions about every topic under the sun!

Anywho. Moving on, thank you for your feedback, and hopefully excitement 🙂

So I cried on an airplane on Wednesday.

Yes, I was that girl, who at 7am, was weeping quietly in her seat as the flight attendants were shelling out peanuts.

I was flying back to NYC from Ohio, and I was listening to my absolute favorite podcast by Fr. Mike Schmitz.

This man is incredible. He is on fire for the Lord, a fantastic speaker, and entertaining as all get out. I’ve even had the privilege of meeting him. And he’s even more dynamic and engaging in person, if that’s even possible.

But I was listening to his podcast from Palm Sunday.

Here we are, Holy Thursday. When you’re reading this, I’ll be at the Last Supper service. But leading up to today, I really wanted to prepare my heart for Holy Week and Easter, so enter…Fr. Mike’s podcast.

They always make ya laugh, make ya think, deepen your faith. But this one in particular, sparked the waterworks. I think even he was holding back tears during it, which I have never heard before.

But it’s about Jesus’ Passion. And he presents it in such a way that truly makes it so personal. I don’t want to do it a disservice by clunkily trying to summarize the eloquent, powerful message he so expertly crafted.

So I invite you to just take 30 minutes, and listen to his podcast. It will truly change the perspective of your Holy Week experience, if not your life.

And perhaps, you’ll end up like me, weeping in seat 5D.

Know that, friends, you are all in my prayers during this Easter Triduum. I pray that we can look at the death of Jesus, and recognize and claim that incredible love He poured out, and believe it to our core. And believe it to the point that it heals the deep wounds and hurts we carry in our own hearts and spirits.

Happy Easter, my friends.

  2. Wow. He does a fantastic job. Amen! T. W. Hunt also has a message about the crucifixion which is very graphic and reminds us of the personal element to it. So humbling. Such a perfect message for Good Friday… Lord, oh Lord, I am so, so sorry for each time I have spat in Your face and joined the throng!

  10. So much love for you. I think yes, do the podcast, you offer such a balanced approach to recovery that we need to hear. And, if you felt like I’d make a good guest, of course I would say yes!

    Also, I broke down (even though I was up front working last night) at the Good Friday service. It’s such a powerful week to remember the depths of love. Praying with you.

  12. When we truly recognized what God allowed his ONLY son to go through for us, it is very emotional! Man couldn’t do that for us! But only him, the Kings of kings and Lords of lords, Jesus Christ! God bless you and have a blessed Easter! Much love as always! 🙏💛✨…P.S do check your spam folder, I think my comments maybe in their suffering from your last posts lolol 😂 go save them lol

  17. Hi Carolyn!
    First — made the Sweet Potato/Carrot Latke’s with Avocado Cream… Excellent!
    Second– yes. Here’s what I think of doors. When they open, walk through them. This podcast thing — walk through it. God has something for you there that cannot be achieved without the podcast. If you want someone to speak on sexual abuse recovery, I’m willing.
    And thanks for your honest, excellent, challenging, passionate blogging.
    And Fr Mike is excellent. What joy! Well, joy exudes from him, but the topic was definitely not joyful. I know why you were crying in 5D…

    Grace and peace to you!

  22. Very cool that you’ll have the chance to share the stories of others. Our Life Logs has a similar premise. Though instead of focusing on one aspect of a person’s life, we tell the entire life journey of a person. I know you’ve had the chance to write a book and you have this blog, but I think you’d be a great person to interview for our website. We are always looking for life journeys that can inspire our readers, and yours is very interesting.
    If you would be willing to share your life journey with us, that would be amazing. We could interview you about your life in person, over the phone, or Skype. We can be reached by hello@blueloopllc.com for more information. Basically what will happen if you decide to participate is that we would interview you, then one of our writers will write up your story for our website. It’s a great way to share your life journey and inspire others. Please let me know if you or anyone you know would be interested in participating. If you’d like to learn more of the details, don’t hesitate to reach out.

    I’d love to get the chance to inspire others with your story.
    Also, if there are any of your readers that would like to participate, they can also email us!

    Have a lovely day!
