52 Weeks Podcast

Clutter is not just about stuff on the floor, it is often a signal that something deeper feels overloaded. In this episode, decluttering coach Dorota Kuldo breaks down why traditional “push harder” organizing advice can backfire, and what it looks like to declutter in a softer, more sustainable way that supports your nervous system instead of fighting it. She shares her own story of living between extremes, hitting a rock-bottom moment at home, and rebuilding a life where peace and calm became the default. Listeners will walk away with practical, doable starting points (including the one-minute method), plus powerful mindset shifts around shame, self-trust, and the hidden rules that keep people stuck. This matters because clutter can quietly drain energy, time, money, and relationships, and this conversation offers a realistic path to change without perfectionism.

What if the real win isn’t hitting every goal… but trusting God with the outcome? In this episode, Peyton Naomi Leonard shared something that stopped me in my tracks: when you truly delight yourself in God, your desires and His desires start to align. That perspective reframes everything especially goal-setting, ambition, and those moments when life doesn’t go according to plan. Peyton is a relationship coach, author, and musician who brings a grounded, faith-filled approach to growth, creativity, and healing. Together, we talk about setting, navigating seasons of life, and learning how to pursue big dreams while staying rooted in peace. This conversation is a reminder that progress doesn’t have to come from pressure it can come from trust.Connect With Peyton:

What if better digestion doesn’t start with a supplement or a cleanse, but with how you sit down to eat? In this episode of the 52 Weeks Podcast, holistic nutritionist Rachel Einbinder talks about meal hygiene and why the environment, pace, and state of your nervous system matter just as much as the food on your plate. Rachel explains the mind-gut connection, how stress can shut down digestion, and why simple habits like slowing down, chewing thoroughly, and creating a calm mealtime can dramatically improve how your body absorbs nutrients. This episode matters if you want practical, sustainable ways to support your gut, energy, and overall health without extremes or restriction

What drives someone to run 50 miles through nonstop rain, mud, and 11,000 feet of elevation gain? For marathoner and Boston qualifier Kaleb Shoell, the answer was simple: to test his limits. In this inspiring episode of 52 Weeks, Kaleb shares how he went from pushing a stroller in marathons with his two daughters to completing his first ultra marathon on the rainiest day Utah has seen since 1901.

He opens up about what pushed him to move from 26.2 miles to 50, the mental battles that come when you still have 30 miles to go, and the support that kept him moving especially from his wife, who cheered him on in the rain eight months pregnant. Kaleb also talks about pacing alongside his dad, how family shaped his “never quit” mindset, and what running has taught him about life, grit, and consistency.

Whether you’re a runner or not, this conversation will motivate you to put your goals on your vision board and start taking the first step because as Kaleb says, “You’re never going to be 100% ready. You just have to start.”

As we head into the last quarter of 2025, Steph sits down for a solo debrief to reflect on the big lessons and big goals of the year. From wrapping up her ambitious 100 podcasts in 100 days challenge to discovering how tools like Asana and the Strides app have transformed her routines, this episode is all about raising the floor, staying consistent, and keeping promises to yourself.

Steph shares the momentum she’s building for the end of the year: 60 more episodes, 10 new podcasting courses, and a bold experiment to push her PodSavvy Guide into the top 1% of podcasts. She also opens up about missing the dynamic energy of co-hosts and puts out a call for three new voices to join her on 52 Weeks in 2026.

Melanie shares how a coworker’s encouragement sparked her start, how accountability and posting on social media helped her stay consistent, and how her story has resonated with thousands of followers online. She opens up about balancing training with family and a full-time job, turning long runs into weekend “date days” with her husband, and the lessons she’s learned about consistency, comparison, and celebrating progress. From treadmill miles in Canadian winters to character-filled miles through Disney World, Melanie’s story is a reminder that running doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful.
