This is short and to the point. It's ok to try new things; in fact, we should. It's how we grow and learn. Some of those new things, though good, simply don't work out for a variety of reasons. The original name of this podcast is Get Well, Live Well & Thrive. I decided to broaden the name, and although I still could use it and I believe in it, it didn't feel like the right fit over time, so I made a U-turn and went back to the original name. The message remains the same, no matter the name, but I tried it, and it wasn't the right name or the right fit for me.

I'm glad you're here. Make yourself at home and let's grow together.

The world is loud, messy, and chaotic—and if we’re honest, it’s only getting more intense. But here’s the truth: I can’t fix the chaos around me, and neither can you. The only person I can truly steward, take ownership of, and change is the one I see in the mirror.

In this episode, I’m slowing us down. I’m inviting you to step off the hamster wheel of stress, fear, and survival mode and take a few moments for yourself—to breathe, to quiet your soul, and to get grounded again. Call it meditation, devotion, self-care, or quiet time—it doesn’t matter what you name it. What matters is that you make space to pause and reset.

I’ll walk you through what I’m calling The Ripple Effect—a reminder that every word we speak, every choice we make, and every attitude we carry creates ripples that reach our families, our friends, our communities, and the world around us. You don’t have to live a reactive and exhausted life. You get to choose your ripples.

This episode is your permission to slow down, breathe deep, and remember: the greatest transformation starts with the person in the mirror.

Are you stuck staring at an old version of yourself—whether it’s a painful past or even a “best season” you’ve been trying to get back to? In this episode of the Set Her Free Podcast, Dana Lyons shares how freedom begins when you release the old version of you and step into the life God has for you today.

Through her own story of chasing health goals, facing setbacks, and discovering new strength, Dana reminds us that you don’t have to “go back” to thrive. Your best days aren’t behind you—they’re still ahead.

This is a hope-filled conversation for every woman who’s ready to stop looking backward, embrace who she is now, and boldly live free.
