Soul SiStories
Soul SiStories was born out of a mutual desire to bring forward hope and healing through sharing our lived experiences. Hope is embracing life despite adversity. Hope is our reason.
Episodes
Grief can make you ask a question that feels almost unbearable: are they still here? We sit down as Diana and Dona and talk honestly about spiritual signs, the small “God winks” and the unmistakable moments that feel like direct afterlife communication. If you’ve ever wondered whether a butterfly, a ladybug, a song, or a perfectly timed message is just coincidence, we share how we learned to tell the difference and ...
Some mornings don’t feel like mornings at all, they feel like a weight. We start from that honest place and work our way toward something sturdier: hope that comes from waking up, not just physically, but emotionally, socially, and spiritually. When you’re tempted to pull the covers over your head, “waking up” can sound almost too simple. We make the case that it’s the only way forward: start where you are, do the n...
What if love doesn’t vanish—it starts speaking a new language? We kick off our connection series with a candid look at how two sisters walked from childhood sensitivity and fear into an intentional practice of communicating with loved ones beyond. The journey blends practical tools, personal stories, and a steady insistence on evidence, turning grief into a guide rather than a wall.
We trace early moments t...
What if the most important thing you teach a young person isn’t a formula or a checklist, but how to listen to their own curiosity? We sit with Mary—educator, consultant, and nonprofit co-founder—whose path winds from risk management to a fifth-grade classroom, then into a practice built to serve students and protect space for her family. Her story is raw and generous: an honest look at systems that narrow learning,...
What if thriving starts where certainty ends? We sit down with Dr. Greg Linkowski—retired diagnostic radiologist and author of Dare to Thrive—to unpack a life shaped by early trauma, a demanding medical career, and the love and loss of his son David. Greg doesn’t offer platitudes. He offers practices: therapy that names wounds, a faith that steadies the long nights, and a marriage that held fast through caregiving, ...
Loss can silence a room, yet sometimes it also hands you a new language. We sit down with artist Catherine Lamarche Horney to follow the unlikely path from widowhood to a thriving, self-taught art practice sparked by a medium’s simple instruction: paint. With zero formal training, Catherine started with one canvas—imagining her late husband Jim in the mountains he loved—and then stacked small wins into a steady craf...
What if a family joke became the blueprint for a second chance? We sit down with Ryan and Anne-Marie Villiers to unpack how a terrifying early brush with COVID—coma, code, and the long climb back—sparked the creation of Donut Kitty, a design-forward donut and coffee brand built to deliver delight in small, perfect moments. From a father–daughter trip to Iceland and late-night street-cart “kitties” to a home kitchen ...
When the noise gets loud and the headlines sting, naming what we see becomes an act of care. We sat down to talk about hope through witnessing—how refusing silence, telling the truth, and showing up in nonviolent solidarity can steady us when fear tactics try to shrink our voices.
Our conversation traces a path from heartbreak to agency. We revisit the lessons of history—diaries from World War II and testim...
When life throws the kind of curveballs that make you say “are you kidding me,” where does hope live? We open up as sisters about the losses that reshaped us—death, divorce, and the everyday mess that never takes a day off—and how we learned to hold grief and gratitude in the same hand. This is a raw, practical conversation about staying present when love is gone, routers won’t connect, and snow stacks up on the win...
What if the hardest years of your life became the seedbed for hope? We open up about the losses that reshaped us in 2019–2020 and the unexpected ways they led to Soul SiStories—a place where story, spirit, and everyday courage meet. Our conversation traces two complementary paths: one of lived mediumship practice and one of deep study and research. Together we explore how meditation, evidence-based exploration, and ...
What if belief came before proof—and that shift changed how you move through every season of life? We invited Frosty the Snowman to share a surprisingly grounded take on hope, resilience, and the quiet power of imagination. The result is part cozy holiday story, part life school: a conversation that blends warm nostalgia with practical wisdom you can use long after the snow melts.
Frosty opens up about roll...
What if the detour was the door you needed? We sit down with Dr. Ali Herweck—physician, MPH, and current REI fellow—to trace a real, unvarnished path into women’s health and fertility care. From not getting into medical school the first time to matching lower on her list and moving across the country, Ali turns every twist into fuel. She shows how purpose steadies ambition, how mindset is a daily choice, and how “ho...
Death doesn't come with a guidebook. For Rhonda Roberts, each loss became a stepping stone toward profound understanding—from the confusion of a 10-year-old watching her grandmother's casket to the peace of whispering goodbye to her father-in-law on his birthday.
"The last thing people that are loved ones want us to do when they transition is to spend our lives in a constant state of grief,&q...

What if the death of a loved one isn't the end of your relationship, but rather the beginning of something profoundly different? Martin and Krista Anderton discovered this truth in the most heart-wrenching way when their 20-year-old son Zach died in a car accident. Just when they thought their world had ended, something miraculous happened on the third day—they found Zach, or more accurately, he found them.
A childhood brush with death shaped Neal Woodson's entire life philosophy. After surviving what doctors called an infant tachycardia at less than a year old, Neil's mother consistently reminded him: "You're here for a reason. Don't squander it." That powerful message became the foundation for a life dedicated to service and helping others realize their potential.
Neal takes us ...
