  • Healing Beyond the Body w/ Dr. Will Bulsiewicz

    Healing Beyond the Body w/ Dr. Will Bulsiewicz
    Dec 7 2025
    In this profoundly moving episode, I sit down with my dear friend Dr. Will Bulsiewicz (aka. Dr. B) to discuss Chapter 8 of his upcoming book Plant Powered Plus – a chapter he calls his "masterpiece" and the very reason he wrote the book. Dr. B is a board-certified gastroenterologist, New York Times bestselling author, and internationally recognized gut health expert. But in this conversation, we go far beyond nutrition science to explore the miraculous healing he's witnessed when treating the physical body reaches its limits. What We Discuss: The Missing Piece in Healing Why some patients don't improve despite doing "everything right"Dr. B's transformative experience working with pioneer Dr. Douglas Drossman in a unique clinic that spent 2+ hours with each patientHow trauma leaves a "wound on the soul" that impacts physical health through the gut-brain axis The Science of Connection Why isolation is literal torture and loneliness affects health more than smoking or excessive alcoholHow our microbiome thrives on routine and how stress suppresses gut healthThe parasympathetic vs. sympathetic nervous system and why we're living in "sympathetic overdrive" Beyond the Physical Dr. B's personal journey of healing, including his complex relationship with his father and a divinely-timed final visitWhy human connection and spiritual connection are biological requirements, not wellness "hacks"The God-shaped hole in every human heart and why faith isn't separate from science Practical Wisdom How to begin addressing unhealed traumaThe importance of doctor-patient relationships and what's broken in our healthcare systemWhy we need to return to "the old ways" of connection, community, and purpose This conversation beautifully weaves together medical expertise, personal vulnerability, and spiritual truth. Dr. B reminds us that we are not just "bags of cells," we are souls with bodies, and true healing requires us to address both. One of my favorite quotes from this episode is when Dr. B says, "Healing comes in many forms and from many places. It's not just what we eat." Whether you're struggling with chronic health issues, feeling isolated in our modern world, or simply seeking deeper meaning, this episode offers an invitation to explore what might be missing in your own healing journey.

  • 22. 16 Years of Marriage - What We Have Learned

    22. 16 Years of Marriage - What We Have Learned
    Nov 8 2025

    16 years of marriage. Countless lessons learned.

    In this honest and heartfelt episode, I sit down with my husband, Greg, on our anniversary to reflect on sixteen years of marriage. We talk about the lessons, the laughter, and the hard-earned wisdom that's shaped who we are today as partners and individuals.

    Marriage, like life, is rarely perfect. It takes communication, humility, and a willingness to grow both individually and together. In this conversation, Greg and I open up about how we've learned to navigate challenges, keep curiosity alive, and stay grounded in love and faith through every season.

    Whether you're married, dating, or simply curious about what makes relationships last, this episode offers a glimpse behind the curtain of real life partnership - the real, the funny, and the deeply meaningful parts.

    You'll hear:

    • Why communication (even when it's uncomfortable) is the foundation of everything

    • How a very tough season became a turning point in our marriage

    • The importance of shared values, curiosity, and faith as anchors in marriage

    • How we balance individuality, parenting, and partnership through changing seasons

    • The small rituals that keep our connection strong

    🌟 If this episode made you reflect on love, marriage, or growth, share it with someone you care about. You never know who might need the reminder that every strong relationship is built one honest conversation at a time.

  • 21. Faith, Freedom, and Finding My Way

    21. Faith, Freedom, and Finding My Way
    Oct 20 2025

    In this deeply personal episode, I open my heart to share a part of my story I've never fully spoken aloud before: my evolving relationship with God.

    For years, I wrestled with how to talk about faith. I worried I didn't have the "right" words. But what I've come to realize is that God doesn't want perfection. He wants connection. And today, I'm answering the call to share how that connection has shaped my life, healed old wounds, and grounded me in peace.

    Whether you've experienced religious confusion, spiritual yearning, or are simply feeling called to explore your faith more deeply — this episode is for you.

    You'll hear:

    • My childhood experiences with religion (the good, the hard, and the confusing)

    • How I've unlearned fear-based beliefs and re-learned love-based truth

    • What it's really looked like to rediscover church, scripture, and Jesus as an adult

    • A reminder that your path to God doesn't have to look like anyone else's
