No Phone in my Pocket and Survival Ensued
What started as worry about a friend being without a phone turned into a funny little reality check: didn’t I survive entire road trips without one? Recorded from the comfort of my bed, this ten minute episode explores our attachment to our phones and my decision to practice being a little more present and a little less plugged in. Expect a few laughs, some honest reflection, and a closing scripture reminder that we can’t control tomorrow, but we can trust God with it. No phone in my pocket, and somehow, survival ensued. A little less scrolling, a little more living, and faith in motion—one phone-free moment at a time.

Dating Over 50: Confidence, Purpose & Knowing When to Walk Away
Dating over 50 can feel exciting, awkward, vulnerable—and sometimes downright intimidating. But what if you walked into a date remembering exactly who you are? In this short, heart-to-heart episode of Stand Up and Redo, Petra talks about dating with confidence and purpose: loving yourself first, remembering that the person across the table is probably just as nervous as you are, and giving yourself permission to show up as your real, authentic self—no false airs, no pretending, no trying to become who you think someone else wants. She also shares a simple way to reconnect with your confidence: remember the times you have been loved, cared for, chosen, and treated with kindness. You are already a person worthy of love. And then comes the part we don’t always talk about—knowing when not to keep dating someone. Sometimes your gut, your heart, and yes…your lady parts already know the answer. If you know someone isn’t your forever person, enjoying their company isn’t always enough reason to keep them hanging on. They’re dating with hopes and dreams too. A candid, funny, and encouraging 10-minute reminder that dating after 50 isn’t about proving yourself to anyone. It’s about knowing yourself, trusting yourself, and making room for the relationship that truly fits.

Reframing Failure: My cholesterol wake up call
Six months ago, I set out with the clear goal of eating better, losing weight, and feeling better in my body. I did the work, and I was sure the numbers would reflect it. But they didn’t. They were higher. A punch to the gut moment. In this episode of Stand Up and Redo, I’m talking about that moment and how it made me pause and rethink everything. Not as a defeat, but as feedback. Sometimes failure isn’t a final verdict, it’s just an invitation to adjust. I’m sharing how I’m choosing to stand back up, refine the plan and use the strength and tools I have today to try again. Because the real win isn’t a perfect number, it’s the resilience to learn, adapt, and try again. If you’ve ever given your best and felt let down by the outcome, this episode is your reminder. We get to redefine failure, and we get to rewrite the story. #cholesterol #failure #rewriteyournarrative #over50 #standupandredo Send us Fan Mail Support the show https://Facebook.com/petra.d.rivera https://wwwpetrademusz.buzzsprout.com/

A quiet moment with John 15…what is grounding me.
While Stand Up and Redo is taking a little hiatus, I felt compelled to step back in and share something that has been especially meaningful to me lately: John Chapter 15. There’s no big production or long discussion in this episode—just a simple reading of a chapter of Scripture that has touched my heart. Jesus’ words about abiding in Him, bearing fruit, loving one another, and remaining connected to the true vine have been such a special read for me that I simply wanted to share them with you. Consider this a small adjunct episode—a quiet moment in the middle of the pause. Maybe someone listening today needs these words as much as I did. Sometimes Standing Up and Redoing also means getting quiet, returning to what grounds us, and sharing something simply because our heart tells us to. John 15. No big message from me today. Just His words. ❤️ Send us Fan Mail Support the show https://Facebook.com/petra.d.rivera https://wwwpetrademusz.buzzsprout.com/

When a Simple Question Opens the Whole Bible
In this episode of Stand Up and Redo, I share how someone asked me if the God who led the Israelites out of Egypt and into the Promised Land was the same God Jesus speaks about in John 14. Instead of giving a quick answer, I opened my Bible and started reading. What I found wasn’t just an answer—it was an invitation. An invitation to know Jesus more deeply, to understand the Father’s heart, and to remember that the God who parted the Red Sea is the same God who still leads His people today. He hasn’t changed. His character hasn’t changed. His promises haven’t changed. Send us Fan Mail Support the show https://Facebook.com/petra.d.rivera https://wwwpetrademusz.buzzsprout.com/

There is a Season for Healing and a Season for Moving Forward
There is a season for healing and a season for moving forward. Sitting on a mountaintop along Skyline Drive, listening to the wind move through the trees, l find myself reflecting on life, loss,healing, and what it truly means to move forward. In this deeply personal episode, I share lessons from a year of counseling, heartbreak grief, faith, and self-discovery. We explore the difference between reflection and rumination, why some wounds need our attention before they can heal, and how carrying wisdom is different from carrying pain. I also share a conversation with a dear friend who challenged me to ask an important question: Why am I willing to create beautiful experiences for everyone else but not for myself? If you’ve ever struggled with loss,regret,guilt,heartbreak,or feeling stuck in your past, this episode is for you. There is a season for healing. There is a season for reflection. And there is a season for moving forward. Take the wisdom. Leave the wound. Take the lesson. Leave the shame. Join me as I share why I believe our past shape us, but it does not define our future.

55 Year Old Woman Walking on the Bay
There’s a strange thing about getting older — inside, we still carry every version of ourselves we’ve ever been. In this reflective episode of Stand Up and Redo with Petra DeMusz, Petra walks along the bay and reflects on what it means to be 55 years old while still somehow being 5, 8, 14, 26, and 30 all at once. The same soul. The same wonder. The same person who once ran barefoot toward the water chasing life, love, freedom, and meaning. As the walk continues, a quiet moment with an older man and his small dog becomes something deeper — a reminder that no one is simply “old.” Every face carries decades of stories, heartbreaks, adventures, dreams, losses, laughter, and memories invisible to the outside world. This episode is about learning to see people fully. Not as strangers. Not as age. But as entire lifetimes wrapped inside a single human being. A peaceful, thought-provoking reflection on aging, humanity, empathy, and the beautiful truth that we are all still every age we have ever been.https://youtube.com/@standupandredo?si=3RFIeWoqQTh5QScK Send us Fan Mail Support the show https://Facebook.com/petra.d.rivera https://wwwpetrademusz.buzzsprout.com/

Peace, Nirvana or your Zen~Can you find it?
In this episode of Stand Up and Redo with Petra DeMusz, we explore what it truly means to find peace, nirvana, and your own personal zen in a world obsessed with appearances, validation, and the image we present to others. What if peace was never something you could buy, achieve, or perform for the outside world? What if it was something already waiting quietly within you? Through personal stories, reflection, humor, and heartfelt conversation, this episode dives into the difference between superficial peace and soul-deep peace — the kind that comes from grounding yourself in something greater than your fears, your insecurities, your titles, your followers, or your reflection in the mirror. Together, we unpack the idea that real peace is not found in perfection, applause, or pretending to have it all together. It’s found in authenticity, surrender, spiritual grounding, self-acceptance, and learning how to quiet the noise around you long enough to find something bigger to anchor to. If you’ve been exhausted from trying to keep up appearances, searching for meaning, or longing for a deeper connection with yourself, God, or the world around you, this episode is your invitation to pause, breathe, and rediscover what truly matters. Because maybe peace was never outside of you at all. Send us Fan Mail Support the show https://Facebook.com/petra.d.rivera https://wwwpetrademusz.buzzsprout.com/
