This time of year — darker days, busy schedules, holiday expectations — our bodies start whispering… sometimes yelling, and it doesn’t always feel good.
In this episode of the Freedom Camp Podcast, Gretchen invites you to slow down and discover your right tempo. Instead of pushing harder or striving for perfection, learn to listen, partner, and cooperate with the rhythms your body already knows.
Through reflective questions, faith-filled encouragement, and a story inspired by Jamaica’s heartbeat rhythm — reggae — you’ll explore how peace, prayer, and movement can flow together when you align with God’s natural tempo of grace.
You’ll also hear how a feast analogy can help you reframe the pressure of holiday expectations into a picture of abundance and permission.
Learn to:
“You don’t have to do the whole feast. Just taste what nourishes today.”
Take a breath, grab your journal, and come find your rhythm of freedom — one small, meaningful step at a time.
Journal Prompts:

2️⃣ Where am I forcing instead of flowing?
3️⃣ What rhythm is my body inviting this week?
