In this episode of Living Through It, Lois talks about letting go of disappointment, regret, old expectations, and the things that continue to take up too much space in our hearts and minds.

Letting go doesn’t mean what happened didn’t matter. It means choosing not to keep paying for it with your peace.

With encouragement from Ecclesiastes 3 and Philippians 3, this episode is a reminder to take the lesson, leave the weight, and make room for what God may be doing next.

One step. One prayer. One day at a time. 💜]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/75321626Wed, 23 Sep 2026 19:54:41 +0000Lois BoltonSometimes, strength isn’t about holding on—it’s about knowing when it’s time to release what has become too heavy.

In this episode of Still Showing Up with Lois, we're talking about the pressure of always being the strong one—and why needing rest, help, encouragement, or a moment to breathe doesn't make you weak.

You don't have to have all the answers.
You don't have to carry everybody.
And you don't have to pretend you're okay when you're not.

Sometimes, the strongest thing you can do is simply say:

“God, I need You to carry me.” 🙏🏽💜

In this episode of Still Showing Up with Lois, we're talking about what it means to trust God in a waiting season. Waiting doesn't mean doing nothing, and it certainly doesn't mean God has forgotten you.

We'll talk about what waiting can teach us, how to keep living while we wait, and how to trust God's timing even when we don't understand it.

📖 “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” — Psalm 27:14

Welcome to the very first episode of Still Showing Up with Lois Bolton. 💙

Honestly… recording this episode pushed me completely outside of my comfort zone.

In this episode, I’m sharing my heart about living with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Lupus, dealing with chronic illness behind the scenes, and why I finally decided to stop letting fear hold me back from using my voice.

For a long time, I kept thinking:

“What if nobody listens?”

“What if I mess up?”

“What if I’m not good enough?”

“What if people judge me?”


But I also realized there are so many people silently struggling every single day while still trying to show up for life, family, work, relationships, faith, and themselves.

And maybe somebody out there simply needs to hear: “You’re not alone.”

This podcast is being created as a safe and honest space for real conversations surrounding:

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Lupus

autoimmune disease

chronic pain

fatigue

brain fog

emotional exhaustion

invisible illness

faith

motherhood

mental health

healing

resilience

and learning how to keep going one day at a time


This isn’t a polished or perfect podcast. Some days I may sound tired. Some days emotional. Some days hopeful. Some days honest about struggling. But my goal is to create a space where people living with chronic illness feel seen, understood, encouraged, and supported.

In this first episode, I talk about: ✨ What inspired me to finally start this podcast
✨ The emotional side of autoimmune disease
✨ The pressure of trying to stay strong
✨ Feeling invisible while fighting invisible illness
✨ Why vulnerability scares me
✨ Learning to keep showing up despite fear
✨ Giving myself permission to start imperfectly

If you are someone living with chronic illness, chronic fatigue, autoimmune disease, mental exhaustion, or simply navigating hard seasons in life, I hope this podcast reminds you that your story still matters and your life still has purpose — even on the difficult days.

Thank you for being here from the very beginning of this journey with me. Your support truly means more than you know. 💙

Please subscribe, follow, and share this episode with someone who may need encouragement today.

Remember: You do not have to be perfect to keep moving forward. Some days strength simply looks like still showing up.
