Your How-To for Breaking the Rules That Break You Nov 20, 2025

Show notes

Most high achievers are exhausted—and it’s not because they’re weak.

It’s because they’re obeying rules they never agreed to.

In this episode, Allyson Chavez reveals the silent rules that shape your pace, pressure, peace, and identity—often without you realizing it. These inherited expectations feel responsible or holy… but they’re actually survival strategies dressed as obedience.

You’ll learn the top four hidden rules: driving burnout, how to tell if a rule is not from God, and a powerful 30-second practice to return to peace and reconnect with divine direction.

If life feels heavy even though you’re doing everything “right,” this conversation will show you why—and what you can do today to lighten the load.

DM Allyson the word PEACE for a free next step.

Key Takeaways:

00:00 — What silent rules are

05:47 — Silent Rule #1: “If I don’t hold everything together…”

11:12 — Silent Rule #2: “Peace comes after the to-do list.”

15:43 — Silent Rule #3: Self-pressure & self-judgment (“murdering yourself” line)

17:05 — Silent Rule #4: “My success is measured by what I can endure.”

20:48 — How to return to peace

Finding peace in rhythm, not performance Nov 13, 2025

Show notes

You’ve been told the key to success is balance—balance between work and home, ambition and faith, serving others and saving something for yourself. But balance feels impossible, doesn’t it? No matter how hard you try, one area always wins at the expense of another.

In this episode of The Obedient Rebel Podcast, Allyson Chavez reveals why balance is a cultural myth that leaves women exhausted—and how God designed us to live in rhythm instead.

Through her story and a practical tool called the Rhythm Reset, you’ll learn how to stop chasing balance and start aligning with the season God has you in. Because true peace doesn’t come from juggling everything perfectly—it comes from walking in His flow.

01:00 — Obedient Rebels obey God’s laws, not society’s rules

02:00 — Balance creates guilt; rhythm brings peace

03:30 — God designed life in seasons, not constant busyness

09:00 — The Rhythm Reset: align your pace with God’s timing

12:10 — Go back to church—find stillness to hear God’s voice

13:00 — Honor your current season instead of chasing balance

15:00 — Trust God to fill the gaps when you slow down

16:00 — True success isn’t balance—it’s peace in His rhythm

Why peace—not perfection—is the proof of alignment Nov 07, 2025

Show notes

You’ve followed the rules. You’ve checked the boxes. You’ve hustled and stayed faithful. And yet—peace still feels out of reach. You’re drained, wondering why doing everything ‘right’ still leaves you exhausted.

In this episode of The Obedient Rebel Podcast with Allyson Chavez, we’re rebelling against the lie that perfection and rule-keeping prove your worth—and obeying peace as the true proof of alignment with God.

Allyson shares her own story of chasing perfection, the moment she realized peace isn’t weakness but alignment, and how Jesus’ words—‘My yoke is easy, and my burden is light’—transform the way we work and lead.

You’ll walk away with a practical tool called The Peace Check that helps you shift from pressure to peace in minutes, and the reminder that you were never meant to carry this weight alone.

If success has left you exhausted, it’s because you’ve been following the wrong version of it. That’s why I created The Obedient Rebel Way. It’s a free resource to help you trade the grind for God and take your peace back in just a few minutes. Think of it as your first step into a different kind of success—one that restores instead of drains.

Key Takeaways:

00:00 — When “doing right” feels heavy

01:57 — God’s laws bring calm, not pressure

06:47 — Aligning with peace over perfection

12:48 — The Peace Check: pause, breathe, realign

21:07 — Rebel against pressure, rest in grace

Change Your World (For the Better) With The 3HQ™ Method (ft. Hilary DeCesare) Aug 28, 2025

Show notes

Some days, everything feels heavy and you just want to hide under a blanket and disappear for a bit. You want to forget about your worries, and you might even be willing to go through unhealthy roads to do that.

Have you ever been there? Because I have, and it's exactly why I'm sharing this beautiful discussion with you today.

This episode is for those of you who are tired of pretending that everything is all right when it ISN'T. It’s for the ones who feel stuck in a fog and kind of numb but still hopeful enough to believe there has to be more to life.

My guest on the podcast today, the brilliant Hilary DeCesare, gets it. She’s been in the mess too, she's gone through the heartbreak and the burnout, and out of all of that, she created The 3HQ™ and ReLaunch Method: head, heart, and highest self. And she shares all about it today!

Together, Hilary and I talk about how to shift your energy for a better life, why saying “I’m done” might be the most important thing you say all year, and how small moments (like singing in the car with your teenager) can become the spark that changes everything.

Tune in now to start your own ReLaunch.

How One Widow Took on Big Pharma After Losing Her Husband to Zoloft (ft. Kim Witczak) Aug 21, 2025

Show notes

The healthcare system isn’t broken… It’s doing exactly what it was built to do.

It’s not about health. It’s about profit. It’s built to sell sickness, push pills, and silence anyone who dares to ask questions. Today’s guest, Kim Witczak, knows this better than anyone. Her late husband was prescribed Zoloft for sleep, and died by suicide just five weeks later. Her whole world was shattered on that day, but her purpose was ignited.

Today, Kim is a national advocate for drug safety. Although she never intended to fight Big Pharma, after experiencing firsthand how misleading and dangerous the system can be, she became an accidental advocate they didn't expect.

Drawing from her research and personal experience with the system, she explains how media manipulation and FDA loopholes keep the truth buried, and how your voice, your intuition, and your questions are more powerful than you’ve been led to believe.

If you’ve ever felt gaslit by “the experts,” or sensed there was more going on behind the scenes, this episode is for you.

The Mental Health Reset You Didn’t Know You Needed with Vesna Matic Aug 14, 2025

Show notes

We’re facing a mental health crisis…

And the way most of us are told to “cope” isn’t working. We’re handed pills, told to push through, and encouraged to keep grinding, while our stress builds and our joy fades. The result? A constant state of burnout, disconnection, and emotional exhaustion.

In this soul-nourishing episode of The Prosperity Approach, I’m joined by the extraordinary Vesna Matic, a Licensed Master’s Level Psychologist (LMLP) with over 35 years of experience blending science, spirituality, and cultural immersion to help people heal from the inside out. Vesna has worked with trauma survivors, led transformational journeys to sacred sites, and developed powerful tools that go far beyond traditional therapy.

We dive into the truth about the mental health epidemic, simple and enjoyable ways to reduce stress, and why reconnecting with what lit you up as a child can be one of the most healing things you’ll ever do. Vesna also shares the magic of her international spiritual journeys and why experiencing another culture can break through emotional barriers in a way nothing else can.

If you’re ready to reclaim your mental well-being, expand your joy, and discover a whole new approach to healing, this conversation is the reset you didn’t know you needed.

This New Model for Trauma Healing Changes Everything with Angel Prater Jul 24, 2025

Show notes

The traditional “healing” model is failing us…

It focuses on symptoms instead of root causes. It’s built around crisis, shame, and quick fixes, while ignoring the deep, personal work that true healing requires. Instead of empowering people, it often reinforces trauma through outdated systems and reactive care.

In this powerful episode of The Prosperity Approach, I’m joined by the incredible Angel Prater, founder of Alchemize HOPE and a trauma-aware ambassador with over 25 years in behavioral health and social services. Angel is on a mission to heal the broken systems that are meant to help us and to teach a better way.

We explore the difference between trauma-informed and trauma-aware, and the completely different outcomes each produces. Angel shares her personal journey from addiction and homelessness to becoming a fierce advocate for hope-based healing, and why she believes hope, not fear, is the most powerful tool we have.

If you’ve ever felt like healing was just out of reach, this conversation will change everything.
