Thriving by Nature

When Life Feels Heavy but You Still Show Up

Thu, 08 Oct 2026 19:51:33 +0000

This episode is different. It isn't polished or structured. It's real.

Life can feel heavy and beautiful at the same time. In this episode I share what it looks like to hold both, grief and hope, pressure and purpose, and how to keep showing up when your heart feels full and tired all at once.

If you lead people, run a business, or care for a family while carrying something heavy, this one is for you. You don't have to choose between strength and softness. You are allowed to hold both.

Your next step: if you're carrying a lot right now, you don't have to carry it alone. Come sit with us at drop in group coaching on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday. Five seats each, and you can come as often as you need.

Is Your Soil Prepared?

Wed, 30 Sep 2026 01:50:00 +0000

You cannot expect a seed to grow in soil that has not been prepared, and neither can you. In this episode, I share what 20 years as a Montessori educator taught me about the power of a prepared environment, plus the research behind why your space shapes your choices, your stress, and your health more than you realize.

We talk about the kitchen, the cake, the clutter, and the science of choice architecture, and I give you three practical steps to prepare your own soil this week.

THE BODY KEEPS THE SCORE What Overextension Is Costing You

Tue, 19 May 2026 22:12:22 +0000

In this episode of Thriving by Nature, I’m sharing a personal story about what happened when I pushed my body too far through a season of weddings, travel, business, dance, fitness, family, and nonstop responsibility.

This episode is about physical self-care, but not in the fluffy way. We are talking about what overextension really costs your immune system, your emotions, your clarity, your energy, and your ability to show up fully for the people and work you love.

If you have been running on empty, ignoring the signs, or telling yourself “just one more thing,” this episode is your reminder to listen earlier. Your body is always communicating, and learning to honor it is not weakness. It is wisdom, leadership, and self-respect.

If this episode spoke to you, I would love to invite you to take the next step.

Go to https://www.thrivingbynature.com/ or book your free Leadership Clarity Call. This is a chance for us to look at where you are feeling stretched, stuck, overwhelmed, or out of alignment, and begin identifying the small shifts that could help you lead your life, your business, and your responsibilities with more clarity and peace.

You do not have to keep running on empty. Your body, your mind, your relationships, and your purpose are worth protecting.

And if this episode helped you, share it with someone you love who has been carrying too much for too long.

Affirmations podcast

Sat, 21 Feb 2026 17:17:34 +0000

What you say to yourself matters more than you think.In today’s episode of Thriving by Nature, I’m diving into affirmations, not the fluffy, surface level kind, but the kind that actually shift perspective and rewire how you see yourself and your life.I share a personal story about perspective, how the lens you look through shapes everything, and I even sing one of my affirmation songs that I use in my own life.Affirmations are not about pretending.They are about intentionally choosing the words that shape your identity.Ready to go deeper?Join my Group Coachinghttps://www.thrivingbynature.com/special-offerRegister for my Free Masterclasshttps://calendly.com/thrivingbynaturecoaching/the-self-care-masterclassBook a Free Strategy Callhttps://www.thrivingbynature.comConnect with me:Website https://www.thrivingbynature.comInstagram https://www.instagram.com/thriving_by_nature_coachingYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@BethanyStone-ThrivingbynatureFacebook https://www.facebook.com/bethany.e.courtright/TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@bethanystone933 00:00Have you ever tried affirmations and felt like a complete fraud?00:20It's like saying I'm confident while your nervous system is in full panic mode, or repeating I am calm while your brain is completely spiraling.01:09Affirmations will definitely feel fake sometimes, and they don't work when they contradict your nervous system.01:17Because they can be extremely unbelievable at the time. 01:21They can ignore the really emotion that you're feeling and they are used to suppress instead of regulate. 01:28And if your body doesn't feel safe, your brain isn't going to believe the words that you're saying. 01:35So instead of saying something like.02:48Well, for me, this is, these are things that I will ask myself. What do you want to embody when you're feeling that? 03:43Do you want to feel calm? 03:44Do you want to feel strong? 03:46Do you want to feel empowered?03:48And then here is the most powerful part. 03:52You're step three create an I am statement.03:58Some I am statements I've used before are I am strong.04:05I am becoming.04:08I am capable of handling this.04:11Creating an I am statement for your.04:17Affirmation is going to change everything because I am becoming more steady.04:25I am capable of handling this. 04:28My worth is not dependent upon my productivity or determined upon that, and I'm going to respond from alignment and not reaction.04:40The only things that you have to really make sure that you're doing that are really key here are making sure that you are staying grounded.04:49Keep your IM statements true enough that your body doesn't reject the IM statement.04:55So.04:57The other practice that I get is how am I going to practice these affirmations? 05:03How do I do this? 05:05So there's about three times during the day when I feel like affirmations are useful in your mind space. 05:13So in the morning, choose your affirmation. 05:16I like to choose.05:17The same affirmation, and I use it for a very long time until another affirmation will resonate with me. 05:25Right now my affirmation is I am strong and I will write that down.05:31And then?05:33I think that I write it because that's what I write is in the morning. 05:38

Staying the Course When Progress Feels Slow

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 20:22:01 +0000

What the Elderly Still Teach Us_ A Reflection on Ageism and Connection

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 19:15:38 +0000

In this episode of Thriving by Nature, Bethany reflects on ageism, multi-generational living, and the deep wisdom that comes from staying connected across generations.

Fresh off a presentation at the Utah Montessori Conference, Bethany shares personal stories from her classroom, her family, and her own experience living in a four-generation household. From inviting elderly guests into her classroom to growing up alongside her Swiss grandmother, she explores how relationships with elders shape patience, compassion, emotional well-being, and perspective.

This episode highlights the benefits of intergenerational connection, including research-backed reductions in anxiety and improved mental health for younger generations. Bethany invites listeners to reconsider how society treats the elderly and to reflect on what we lose when we isolate those who carry so much lived wisdom.

A heartfelt reminder that thriving doesn’t happen in isolation, it happens in connection.

The Montessori Lesson Adults Forgot

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 00:16:18 +0000

What if the reason children struggle to focus, regulate, and engage is the same reason adults do?

In this episode, I unpack a Montessori lesson many of us forgot, that the adult is part of the prepared environment. From nervous systems and sensory input to screens, dopamine, and modern overwhelm, we look at why engagement feels harder today and how Montessori offers a timeless framework for restoring presence, purpose, and connection.

This conversation is for educators, parents, leaders, and anyone who feels pulled in too many directions and wants to create more intentional environments for learning and life.

When Life Gets Heavy and You Have To Pause

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 18:42:24 +0000

When life gets heavy you feel it everywhere. You feel it in your thoughts, your choices, your pace, and even in the way you breathe. In this episode I talk about what it really means to pause when everything in you wants to push through. I share stories, honest truth, and the reminder that pausing is not quitting, it is wisdom. Sometimes the strongest thing we can do is slow down long enough to see what actually matters. Join me as I walk through how to protect your time, your energy, and your mental load so you can move forward with clarity instead of overwhelm.

Letting Go of Control and Letting People Grow

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 22:29:28 +0000

In today’s episode, I talk about the quiet struggle so many of us face, the desire to hold everything together and make sure life turns out the way we think it should. I share why this urge to control usually comes from a place of love and fear, and how it ends up creating stress, anxiety, and tension for everyone involved, including the people we are trying to protect.

Consistency is key

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 10:24:01 +0000

In this episode I talk about the real lesson behind the story of the tortoise and the hare and why consistency matters more than speed in every area of our lives.

If you have been feeling rushed, pressured, or like you are falling behind, this episode will help you breathe, reset, and remember that your power is in the steady steps you take every single day.

The Power of a Grateful Heart

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 13:19:20 +0000

When life feels heavy, gratitude brings us back to center. In this episode of Thriving by Nature, I share a deeply personal story about my son — and the simple question that forever changed how I see the world:
“If you only had four hours of energy, what would you do?”

That moment taught me that gratitude isn’t about the glass being half full or half empty — it’s about being thankful you have a glass at all.

Join me as I talk about how gratitude shifts perspective, restores peace, and helps you thrive no matter what season you’re in.

The Courage to Outgrow People | Learning to Let Go Without Guilt

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 23:19:25 +0000

There comes a time in every growth journey when you realize not everyone is meant to go where you’re going.
In this heartfelt episode of Thriving by Nature, Master Mindset & Life Skills Coach Bethany Stone explores the powerful and emotional process of outgrowing people you care about — and how to do it with love, grace, and peace.

Bethany shares a deeply personal story from her Montessori certification days — a moment that taught her how honoring her values, setting healthy boundaries, and trusting her intuition led to personal and emotional freedom. Through this story, she reminds us that growth doesn’t mean abandoning others, it means honoring who you’re becoming.

✨ Learn how to:

Recognize when relationships no longer align with your growth
Set emotional and spiritual boundaries without guilt
Release people and situations that no longer serve your peace
Let go of fear and embrace your next season with love and courage

This episode is a gentle yet powerful reminder that letting go isn’t loss — it’s transformation. Sometimes we outgrow people not because of conflict, but because we’re stepping into a higher version of ourselves.
