Episodes
What if caring for an aging parent didn’t mean losing yourself in the process?
We sit down with author and caregiver advocate Barbara Stratte to map the messy, human, and hopeful path through the sandwich generation—where kids, careers, and parents all need you at once. From downsizing a lifetime of belongings to deciding between a retirement home and moving Mom in, Barbara shares the trade-offs, the timelines, and th...
Hurt can harden us—or it can teach us how to heal.
We sit down with David McKee to explore how a childhood marked by a parent’s mental health struggles spiraled into years of anxiety, avoidance, and creative silence, and how learning the basics of neuroscience, neuroplasticity, and behavior change opened a kinder, more sustainable path forward.
David shares the turning point that brought him back to music after his mo...
What if the stories you’ve tried to bury are the very compass that leads you to purpose?
We sit down with Lisa, a survivor-turned-podcast host and workshop leader, to trace a raw, hope-filled arc from childhood abuse and family secrecy to voice, service, and durable joy. She shares how early messages and unstable dynamics hardwired survival mode, why talk therapy wasn’t enough, and how trauma-informed modalities like ...
A wall of water stole a business, a mini-stroke threatened language itself, and somehow the path forward got clearer, not smaller. We sit down with journalist-turned-coach Tanya Targett-Camacho to trace how disaster stripped away pretense and revealed a calling: help women own their stories on video, without apology or imitation.
Tanya shares the harrowing weeks after an inland tsunami erased her warehouse an...
When life blindsides you, do you freeze—or build a new path? Our guest shares how a surprise breast cancer diagnosis didn’t end her plans; it clarified them. She went from corporate accounting to licensed therapist in her fifties, guided by quiet faith, relentless discipline, and a simple surrender cue she calls “manager.” Together we unpack why motivation is unreliable, how micro-steps create momentum, and the surpri...
Ever felt like your spiritual life hit pause while your calendar kept sprinting? We dive into that stuck feeling and chart a clear route forward with Dr. Kelly Edmonds, whose journey from accounting to energy healing opened a wider, more grounded reality. Together we unpack a practical trinity for growth—energy mastery, divine awareness, and bloodline power—that helps you clear blocks, reconnect with your soul, and ma...
What if people-pleasing isn’t kindness but a quiet signal that you’re losing yourself? We dive into the real shape of codependency and map a way out using healthy boundaries, reparenting, and the power of 12-step recovery, with a grounded blend of practical tools and faith.
Barb Nangle shares how a “helping” moment exposed old patterns and led her to Al‑Anon, CODA, and ACA, where she discovered trauma recover...
Burnout doesn’t always roar. Sometimes it whispers through a spotless calendar, a packed to-do list, and the constant need to be “fine.”
Today we sit with two origin stories of awakening: Melanie stands before the ashes of her burned home and sees how people-pleasing had already scorched her spirit, while Sylvia faces a life-threatening diagnosis and chooses surrender over control.
What follows is a candid, faith-forw...
What happens when a handful of idealists turn a quiet idea about human potential into a global movement—and then have to live with the power that follows?
We sit down with Marcia Martin, whose new memoir, Sex, Power, and Transformation, peels back the curtain on the early days of EST (later Landmark), the boom in personal development, and the private reckoning behind public influence.
She’s candid about the t...
Change can feel like a threat, but what if the crossroads in front of you is a divine invitation?
We sit down with Dr. Sue McCreadie—pediatrician, coach, and luminous truth-teller—to unpack how fear, doubt, and the illusion of control keep us looping old stories and how alignment can transform pain into purpose.
Her story begins with a conversation she avoided for years: asking her mom about being “the mistake.” What ...
What if the place that hurt you is the place you heal?
That question threads through a raw, hopeful conversation with senior pastor Carlos Ortiz Jr., who opens up about childhood abuse inside the church, a secret life of addiction masked by achievement, and the quiet night in a college dorm when a whisper to “trust” began a long, layered recovery.
Carlos doesn’t sell quick fixes. He shows how small daily choices—one s...
What if the fight in your home isn’t really about the dishes, the text, or the tone—but about authority and foundation?
Dr. Mark Teague joins us to map the unseen battlefield that takes aim at Christian marriages, and how to respond with clarity instead of chaos. Drawing from a working-class upbringing and decades in complex corporate roles, he shows why ancient principles—truth, order, and stewardship—still outperfor...
A love story can end on earth and still keep shaping lives. Michelle Bader Ebersole takes us from a whirlwind engagement to a rare cancer diagnosis, through amputation, parenthood, and the long quiet of hospice during lockdown.
When doctors say “terminal,” she and her three kids choose presence over perfect plans—Dream Foundation trips, nightly movies, popcorn, and a final, tender surprise.
The morning Luke dies, a wo...
What if love isn’t a feeling but a force—and you’ve already felt it? We sit down with Laura Hoorweg to trace the surprising ways the divine breaks through: a child searching for God in church aisles, a teen lifted above a cliff into the galaxies, and a young woman warned by a “police officer” who may have been something else entirely.
Alongside Laura’s mystical path, Sylvia opens up about the ICU night that remapped h...
What if everything you’ve been taught about fear, love, and even spirituality is too small for who you really are? Today, we sit down with Christian de la Huerta to trace a raw, hopeful path from paralyzing shyness and self-hatred to self-love, purpose, and relationships that actually work. His story spans cultural pressure, misreadings of religion, and the long shadow of depression—and lands in a place of clarity, co...
What if your biggest detour was the doorway to a truer life? That’s the pulse of our conversation with Arlene Cohen Miller, who traded a steady legal career for a practice rooted in coaching, mentoring, and meditation. We unpack how a mother’s quest to support a neurodivergent child can become a mirror for her own nervous system, values, and boundaries—and how the tools that help our kids often end up healing us.
...
Some conversations feel scary until someone hands you the right words. We brought together two suicide attempt survivors, Deborah and Brian, to share the tools, language, and lived insight that help families break silence, reduce shame, and make safer choices when emotions run high.
Their prevention-first approach is built for real life: short lessons, tactile workbooks, and simple prompts that help kids separate powe...
We explore how a 70-day hospital journey, a near-death encounter, and a “stadium of light” experience reframed our approach to surrender, discernment, and purpose.
Holly Porter joins us to share how seventy days in critical care, two intubations, and a chorus of unseen prayers sparked a profound pivot from doing to being. Her story moves from out-of-body moments to a near-death encounter she calls the “stadium of lig...
Purpose can dim quietly. The tasks you once loved blur into dread, and the calendar fills while your energy thins.
Our guest, thought habit expert and author Amy Kemp, shares how a thriving sales leadership career gave way to a deeper calling when familiar work started to feel heavy. That shift led her to the Habit Finder assessment, a tool that measures subconscious habits of thinking and pairs them with practical re...
What if the fastest path to peak performance isn’t more hustle, but a quieter shift—one that starts in the heart and ends in decisive action?
Dr. Lise Janelle joins us to unpack how life’s hardest seasons can become training grounds for strength, clarity, and purpose. From champion rowing and clinical practice to a cascade of personal losses, her story reveals why willpower isn’t enough if your subconscious believes s...
