What if the moment everything falls apart is actually the beginning?

In this deeply personal episode, Laura invites her husband, Tim, into the Selah space to share the sacred collapse that nearly ended their marriage - and ultimately transformed it. With Krissi guiding the conversation, they reflect on:

• Living in the "gap" between where you are and where you think happiness lives
• The roles we fall into (and how they quietly disconnect us)
• How our bodies speak when our hearts are ignored
• The moment of “enough” and what it cracked open
• Doing the work… separately and together
• Presence over perfection - and how to truly see each other again

Laura closes the episode with a powerful embodied prayer for anyone navigating their own sacred collapse.

This one is raw, real, and tender. A must-listen for anyone in relationship - especially the one you have with yourself.

🌿 Selah isn’t just a podcast—it’s a practice.
A sacred invitation to pause, to feel, and to come home to yourself.

What happens when your body speaks - but no one, not even you, is listening?

In this powerful episode of Selah: A Deep Pause, Laura and Krissi explore the moment when your body quietly (or not-so-quietly) whispers “enough.” Through raw personal stories, they unpack how we learn to silence our truth to keep the peace, earn love, or fit in - and what it takes to finally reclaim our voice.

From the pressure of perfection to the slow burn of resentment, this is an honest look at how easy it is to lose yourself - and how deeply healing it can be to come back home.

"Reclaiming your voice isn’t about being loud. It’s about being true. It’s about remembering the sound of your soul—raw, honest, maybe trembling, but real."

🪞 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• The moment Laura realized she married her mother (yep, really)
• How fear-based conditioning keeps women silent
• The body’s role in intuition, resistance, and eruptive truth
• How seeking mirrors and safe spaces leads to real transformation
• Why choosing yourself often comes with loss—and why it’s still worth it
• A guided reflection on listening for the whispers in your own life

Selah: A Deep Pause – Episode 2

Host: Laura Deir
Producer & Editor: Krissi Burdette

Laura and Krissi return with a powerful conversation about the wisdom held within our bodies.

💫 Topics in this episode:

• How physical pain can be our body’s way of speaking truths we’re ignoring
• Laura’s raw and personal story of 12 years of chronic back pain—and the moment she refused to accept someone else’s version of her future
• The sacred unraveling: why falling apart might be the first step toward authentic healing
• The courage it takes to listen to the whispers beneath the noise of life
• How community and connection can help us navigate fear, shame, and the unknown

Laura shares a vulnerable invitation to listeners: place your hand on your heart, breathe, and ask your body what it’s trying to say.

Because sometimes, the unraveling isn’t the end—it’s the beginning of becoming who you’re truly meant to be.
