Get Well, Live Well, and Thrive

Most people say they want to change, but they skip the one step that actually makes change possible.

In this episode, we talk about what it really means to “get well”—and why it starts with something most of us avoid:

being honest about where we actually are.

For a long time, I thought I understood health and wellness. I had the knowledge. I helped others. On the outside, I looked like I had it together.

But inside… I wasn’t well.

And until I was willing to admit that, nothing changed.

In this episode, we talk about:

• the difference between looking well and actually being well
• how we define wellness the wrong way
• why so many people stay stuck in the same patterns
• the lies we believe about ourselves—and how they become our identity
• why admitting “I’m not well” is the beginning of real healing

This isn’t about labeling yourself or tearing yourself down.

It’s about getting honest enough to finally move forward.

Because you can’t get to where you want to go…
if you’re not willing to acknowledge where you are.

This is your starting point.

Most people don’t stay stuck because they want to…

They stay stuck because they don’t know how to move.

In this episode, we go deeper into what it really means to “get well”—and why so many of us feel like we can’t.

I share one of the hardest seasons of my life… when my marriage was falling apart, I was overwhelmed with shame, and I felt completely numb inside. I knew something had to change—but I didn’t know how.

And then we look at the story in John 5—the man who had been lying by the pool for 38 years, waiting for someone to help him.

Jesus asked him one question:

“Do you want to get well?”

But instead of saying yes…
he explained why he couldn’t.

Sound familiar?

In this episode, we talk about:

• why so many of us live in “I can’t” without realizing it
• how pain, shame, and control keep us stuck
• the ways we numb out instead of dealing with what’s really going on
• why grace—not striving—is the starting point for real change

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’ve been in the same place for way too long…

This episode will challenge you—but it will also give you hope.

You were never meant to live in defeat.

It might not be as far away as you think.

Can one question change the course of your life?

In this deeply personal episode, Dana shares the story that became the foundation for her book Do You Want to Get Well? and the beginning of her own transformation. After years of struggling with discouragement, chronic health challenges, shame, and feeling spiritually stuck, she encountered a question from God that she couldn't ignore: "Do you want to get well?"

If you've ever felt trapped in old patterns, overwhelmed by life, or wondered if lasting change is really possible, this episode offers hope that transformation begins with one honest answer—and one small step of faith.

There comes a point where you realize something isn’t quite right.

You believe. You’re doing your best. You’re showing up.
But deep down, you know there’s more—and you’re not fully living it.

This episode is the beginning of that conversation.

In it, I’m introducing the heart behind my book, Do You Want to Get Well?—and why this message matters more than ever.

This isn’t about having all the answers.
It’s not about being perfect or doing more.

It’s about being willing to pause long enough to ask:

Am I really living well… or just getting by?

In this episode, we talk about:

• why so many people feel spiritually stuck even when they believe
• the difference between going through the motions and real change
• what it means to actually “get well” in your spirit, soul, and daily life
• what you’ll need as we walk through this journey together

This podcast is going to walk chapter by chapter through the book—but more than that, it’s an invitation.

All you need is:
your Bible, a notebook, a pen… and a willing heart.

If you’re ready for something deeper, something more honest, and something that actually changes your life…

this is where it begins.

This podcast was never meant to be polished.

It was meant to feel like sitting across the table with a friend…
talking about real life, real struggles, and a real relationship with Jesus.

If you’ve ever felt:

• stuck in your faith or your life
• like you’re doing your best but something still feels off
• overwhelmed, discouraged, or just tired of trying to hold it all together, you’re not alone anymore.

In this very first episode, I’m welcoming you in and sharing the heart behind this podcast—why I started it, what you can expect, and the kind of space I hope this becomes for you.

This is a place where we:

• talk honestly about life and faith
• walk through what it means to actually live out what we believe
• grow step by step—without pressure to be perfect

You’ll hear a little about my life, my family, and the journey that led me here… but more than that, you’ll hear the heart behind everything:

To give you hope.
To help you move forward.
To point you back to Jesus—every single time.

This isn’t about having all the answers.

It’s about walking together… one step at a time.

I’m really glad you’re here.
