Episodes
If you’ve ever eaten to quiet your mind, numb a feeling, or prove you’re “fine,” this conversation goes straight to the root. I’m Sylvia Worsham, and I’m joined by Isabel Chiara, author of Nourish, to talk about what happens when food becomes comfort, protection, and a stand-in for the safety we didn’t feel growing up. Isabel shares her story from a rigid immigrant household...
The moment you decide to obey a calling is often the moment life tries to talk you out of it. Sylvia Worsham sits down with Dr Michelle Machado, a two-time TEDx speaker, former educator, and author of Alive Again: Four Steps to Reclaim Your Life in a Distracted World, to unpack what it looks like to follow God when you want control first and clarity second.
Michelle shares her turning point after years of cha...
Your life can change in the space of two seconds. That’s the promise behind the “Epic Reset,” and it’s why I invited licensed professional counselor Zander Sprague to share the simple framework he uses to help people stop reacting on autopilot and start choosing a better path: Emotion, Pause, Interrupt, Choose. We talk about why that pause is the most powerful step, especially when fear, doub...
Most people don’t need another piece of advice, they need to feel truly heard. Sylvia Worsham sits down with clinical psychologist Dr. Eleanor Haspel Portner to unpack why fear, doubt, and worry often grow louder when we try to “think” our way out of soul-level pain, and how purpose gets clearer when we return to inner alignment.
We walk through Dr. Eleanor’s Four Worlds framewor...
A tough exterior can be a cover for a terrified inner child, and George Stoimenov is honest about what that costs. We talk about growing up in Bulgaria with a father he admired but couldn’t fully connect with, the moment shame “shattered” his inner world as a teenager, and how self-hatred can quietly turn into performance masculinity. Muscles, fights, alcohol, drugs, and image can look like confide...
Burnout doesn’t always show up as exhaustion first. Sometimes it shows up as saying yes to everything, losing your edge, getting controlling, and quietly realizing you don’t even know what you like anymore. That’s why I invited Miriam Groom to share her story from family-business overwork and depression to building a career counseling company designed for people who feel stuck, scattered, or overdu...
Overthinking can feel like problem-solving, but when your mind is stuck in worry, rumination, and endless “what if” loops, it stops being helpful and starts stealing your life. We sit down with clinical psychologists Shang Olsen and Michelle Linhardt, both Level Two trained in metacognitive therapy (MCT), to explain a radically practical shift: you don’t control which thoughts show up, but you can ...
Your life can look “fine” on paper while your body is quietly flashing warning lights. Sylvia Worsham sits down with author Nicolette Halladay for a raw, faith-forward conversation about trusting yourself again after divorce, heartbreak, and the kind of relationship that makes you doubt your own reality.
We talk about what self-trust actually looks like in real time: the micro moments where you pa...
Your résumé can vanish in a single meeting. So what’s left when the title, the paycheck, and the plan fall apart? Sylvia Worsham sits down with author and leader Kristen Stockton to discuss the kind of loss that doesn’t just disrupt your work, but also shakes your identity. Kristen shares how a sudden job loss after 14 years sent her into fear and grief, and how God used that unraveling to rebuild someth...
Your life can look perfect and still feel dangerous to your body. That is the thread we pull today with Dr. Jordin Wiggins, a naturopathic doctor and author of The Pink Canary, as we talk about the quiet signals women ignore until they cannot ignore them anymore: numbness, chronic stress, “functional” burnout, low libido, and that haunting sense that joy has gone missing.
We dig into anhedonia, th...
She thought Jesus was a frequency, a helpful symbol you could blend into a bigger spiritual toolbox. Then one unsettling moment and one simple invitation, “Jesus, come with me,” cracked open everything Jessica Campos thought she knew about healing, power, and truth. What followed wasn’t another clearing session or a new modality. It was deliverance, repentance, and a brand-new identity rooted in Ch...
One smile, one text, one handwritten note, one choice to notice the person right in front of you. That sounds small until you realize how often the “small” thing is the exact interruption someone needs when they feel unseen, overwhelmed, or alone.
I’m joined by Jill Lublin, a powerhouse in the PR world and the author behind The Prophet of Kindness, and we go deep on what kindness looks like ...
Abortion is usually argued like a courtroom case or a campaign issue. We take a different route: a real story, a practical framework, and a challenge to build the kind of support that actually changes decisions and futures.
I’m joined by Roland C. Warren, author of Alternative to Abortion: Why We Must Be Pro-Abundant Life and President and CEO at CareNet, to talk about what happens when an unplanned pregn...
Some wounds don’t start with fear. They start with the moment you realize you crossed a line, followed an order, couldn’t stop what happened, or lived through something that still feels unforgivable. That’s the heart of “moral injury,” and it’s why I invited Navy chaplain Larry Brant onto the show. Larry joined the Navy at 45, deployed with Marines in Afghanistan, and later served...
Your life can look “fine” on the outside while an invisible pattern runs the whole show underneath. Today we get honest about the fear, doubt, worry, and control responses that kick in fast and leave us thinking, Why did I just do that? I’m joined by transformational coach Debbie Longo for a grounded, practical conversation about how patterns of behavior live in the subconscious mind and how we can...
A breast cancer diagnosis can feel like the end of the story, but sometimes it is the interruption that saves your life. I sit down with Jenny C. Cohen, an award-winning dancer and author, to talk about what happened when her career was taking off and everything suddenly stopped. Her path moves through chemo, fear, grief, and a hard reckoning with control, then lands in something quieter and stronger: presence, surr...
Getting fired at 63 can feel like the end of the road. For David Nassief, it was the moment the road finally became clear. We talk through the shock of being let go after 18 years, the gut-level fear of doing the math and realizing “we could be broke by 65,” and the hardest part of all: driving home and figuring out how to tell his wife. If you’ve ever felt that quiet desperation around money, purp...
Your life can look successful and still feel wrong, and that gap is where reinvention begins. We sit down with Ana Denis, an author and communication coach living in the Netherlands, to trace her path from a shy, bookish childhood in Russia to a senior role in cybersecurity, then into entrepreneurship and a mission built around voice, connection, and purpose.
Ana shares what it’s like to chase financial...
He woke up in a hospital and regretted it instantly. That single moment became the line between an ending and a calling for Joseph M. Leonard, who joins us to share the true story behind his 2004 suicide attempt and what it took to rebuild a life that still felt worth living.
We talk about the quiet danger of isolation, the “ugly voices” that convince you the world would be better without you, and w...
A crown sounds like a costume until you realize it can be a mirror. Sylvia Worsham sits down with Holly Fair, a speaker and coach who decided to wear a literal crown everywhere for 730 days and ended up rewriting the story she’d believed about herself for decades. The result isn’t a gimmick. It’s a practical, emotional, faith-rooted conversation about identity, self-worth, and the moment when your ...
