  • Kerstin Lindquist on Fasting Through Grief, Hormone Shifts, and the Healing Power of Eating Less, Earlier, and Cleaner—Plus How to Reset Your Routine, Reduce Inflammation, and Fast in a Way That Actually Works for Women
    This is StRest! In this episode, Kerstin Lindquist opens up about one of the most misunderstood—and most transformative—topics in health and spiritual growth: fasting. With raw vulnerability and deep research, Kerstin walks us through her personal journey of fasting over the past decade, from the moment she saw herself in a Christmas morning video and realized something had to change… to discovering how fasting could help with clarity, hormone balance, and even grief. She shares how fasting stopped working during perimenopause, what women need to know about fasting with their cycles, and why grief—especially the loss of her mother—forced her to pause and reset. This isn’t a diet episode. It’s a full-body, soul-level look at the rhythms of stress, rest, and how God meets us in both. From battling endometriosis to watching her inflammation markers plummet, Kerstin brings evidence, honesty, and spiritual insight. You’ll learn when to fast, when not to, how food affects inflammation and pain, and why “not eating dinner” might be the breakthrough your hormones have been waiting for. Whether you’re curious about intermittent fasting, navigating perimenopause, or grieving something you can’t explain, this episode offers grace, truth, and practical tools to move forward.

  • Chichi Onyekanne on Finding Intimacy with God, Hearing Your Calling, a 40-Day Fast, and How He is Helping Redefine Success for a Distracted Generation
    This is StRest! In this episode, Chichi Onyekanne—worship leader, next-gen pastor, artist, and media producer—joins Kerstin for a soul-stirring conversation on intimacy with God, fasting, calling, and why slowing down might be the most radical thing you can do in a busy, distracted world. Chichi opens up about his own journey, including a 40-day fast that reshaped his entire relationship with God and led to a call from Jesus Culture—on the last day of the fast. He breaks down the story of Daniel 10 like a Marvel movie: how Daniel’s persistence, prayer, and fasting unleashed angelic warfare in the unseen realm. (God heard you the first day you prayed. The enemy’s just been working overtime.) They explore real spiritual intimacy—from worship, journaling, fasting, and mentorship to the quiet power of boredom and Sabbath. They talk about how busyness blocks blessings, how crying during worship literally releases stress, and why the enemy wants to keep you isolated. They challenge the lie that “God’s done with me,” especially for those in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond—and share how older generations are uniquely positioned to disciple, mentor, and lift up the next. You’ll walk away from this episode feeling inspired to pursue God like never before, even (especially) in inconvenience. Major Themes & Concepts ✅ What a Daniel Fast really is—and what most people get wrong ✅ Why spiritual warfare might be blocking your answer ✅ Intimacy with God: What it means & how to get it ✅ How fasting doesn’t move God—it moves us ✅ Busyness, loneliness & noise: The enemies of intimacy ✅ Why journaling & boredom are actually good for you ✅ Discipling the next generation (and why you’re not too old to do it) ✅ Community, mentorship & showing up for others ✅ Small steps to reset your relationship with God ✅ Giving God your “first and last” 30 minutes of each day Chapter Breakdown 00:00 – Daniel 10, Spiritual Warfare & Why Your Prayers Feel Delayed 01:30 – Tenacity in Prayer & Building Intimacy with God 04:15 – What Intimacy Produces & How to Practice It Daily 08:40 – Worship, Crying & the Healing Power of Presence 10:00 – What Happens When You Lose Connection with God 12:00 – Chichi’s Daily Prescription: First & Last 30 17:40 – Angry at God? Why He Still Wants to Hear from You 18:25 – The Power of Community & Spiritual Support 26:00 – Chichi’s 40-Day Fast That Changed Everything 43:40 – Mentoring the Next Gen & Answering God’s Call Work with Kerstin 📅 Workshops & Events – Join upcoming events & retreats. 💡 Health Coaching with Kerstin – 1:1 coaching for stress reduction & wellness.

    This is StRest! In this solo episode, Kerstin dives deep into two transformative stress-reduction strategies: slowing down at work and protecting one day each week as sacred rest. Kerstin explores how chronic stress in the workplace impacts health, how multitasking fuels cortisol overload, and why scheduling 15-minute breaks between tasks can be life-changing.

Kerstin invites listeners to reconsider how stress, purpose, and faith intersect, offering practical steps like adopting the “15-minute rule” and simplifying life through rest and reflection. Whether it’s burnout, job dissatisfaction, or feeling stuck in survival mode, this episode challenges you to protect your health by protecting your time—and your peace.

  • Healing Your Relationship with Food: The Psychology of Eating with Natalie Fader
    This is StRest! In this episode, Natalie Fader, a nutritional therapist and behavioral counselor, joins Kerstin Lindquist to uncover the psychological roadblocks that keep us from making healthy food choices. If you've ever thought, “I know what to do, I just can’t seem to do it,” this conversation is for you. Natalie explains how ego states, childhood conditioning, and self-talk shape our food habits. She introduces Transactional Analysis (TA) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as tools to recognize these patterns and change our approach to eating. We also explore fasting, supplements, the protein craze, food cravings, and the 80/20 rule for sustainable nutrition. This episode will help you shift your mindset, break free from harmful eating cycles, and build a healthier, more intuitive relationship with food. Major Themes & Concepts ✅ Ego States & Self-Talk: How your inner dialogue influences eating habits. ✅ Transactional Analysis (TA): Identifying the different ‘voices’ in your mind that impact choices. ✅ CBT & Food Psychology: Understanding why we struggle with consistency. ✅ The 80/20 Rule: Why balance, not perfection, leads to long-term success. ✅ Food as a Reward: Breaking free from childhood conditioning around treats. ✅ Supplements & Nutrition: Key vitamins and minerals for energy and stress management. ✅ Fasting & Metabolism: Why fasting works for some but not for everyone. ✅ Cortisol & Blood Sugar: How stress affects hunger and weight loss. ✅ Protein & Fiber: Why these two nutrients are essential for satiety and fat loss. ✅ Movement & Health: The importance of daily activity for long-term well-being.
