In this episode of Selah: A Deep Pause, Laura shares a deeply personal and embodied experience that unfolded over several days… one that didn’t come as a story, but as something that moved through her.

What began as a physical response in her body revealed something much deeper. Not just emotion, but a somatic and relational experience tied to old wounds, generational patterns, and a level of healing that couldn’t be accessed through understanding alone.

This wasn’t about analyzing what happened.
It was about allowing the body to feel, complete, and finally receive.

Through moments of rupture, being held in a safe space, and unexpected guidance, Laura describes what it means to stay present instead of bypassing… and what can happen when the body is given the opportunity to finish what it started long ago.

This conversation invites you to listen differently.
Not for answers… but for what you notice within yourself.

As you listen, you may find yourself asking:

What part of me feels seen right now?
What part of me is still holding something unfinished?

This episode isn’t here to fix anything.
It’s here to be felt.

What happens when the things we never say begin shaping our relationships?

In this episode of Selah – A Deep Pause, we sit down for a conversation with our friend, Jon Jennings, about truth, resentment, and the courage it takes to stop editing ourselves in relationships.

Many of us grow up looking outside ourselves for answers. Parents, teachers, religion, and culture often tell us what we should think, feel, and believe so we can be accepted and belong. But what happens when the truth we’ve been searching for isn’t outside of us at all?

Jon shares stories from his own life about learning to listen to the wisdom of the body, confronting resentment before it quietly builds, and discovering the freedom that comes from speaking what feels unspeakable.

Together we explore how silence can slowly create distance in relationships, how honesty can feel risky but ultimately freeing, and why learning to recognize the signals in our bodies can lead us back to deeper connection with ourselves and others.

This conversation is about the courage to speak truth, the humility to listen, and the possibility of meeting each other more fully when we stop pretending everything is fine.

Take a breath. Slow down. And join us for this deep pause.

Jon Jennings is a self-described solar-powered fun junkie who loves being outside and fully in his body. When he isn’t playing volleyball, pickleball, spikeball, or basketball in the sun, he’s exploring the deeper mysteries of life and spirit. A curious psychonaut, Jon is endlessly interested in the inner landscape of the human experience. His greatest teachers have been his wife of 30 years and their three children. Jon is here to live the full human experience, one day at a time.

In this episode of Selah, Laura and Krissi explore what happens when your body knows something before your mind is ready to admit it.

From childhood conditioning to adult relationships, many of us were trained to override our signals in the name of being polite, spiritual, patient, or “measured.” Over time, that quiet comes at a cost. Not always in lost relationships or outcomes, but in delayed boundaries, second guessing, and erosion of self-trust.

Laura shares personal reflections on early marriage, masking, agency, and the moment of “enough.” Together, they unpack what it means to reclaim authority without creating rupture, and how awareness becomes the first step toward alignment.

In this conversation:
• What “agency” actually means and how we unconsciously give it away
• The difference between contraction and expansion in the body
• Masking, self-abandonment, and nervous system conditioning
• How to listen without needing to fix or prove
• Simple ways to start noticing your first signal

This episode is not about confrontation. It’s about awareness.

If something in you leans back, tightens, or expands, that is information. The work is not to overanalyze it. The work is to notice.

Laura closes with a prayer for discernment, sovereignty, and the courage to respond when your body speaks.
