Feeling torn between conflicting medical advice is a common challenge when facing health decisions. It can leave us unsure about what’s best for our well-being.

My friend, Suzanna Hake, a former teacher turned entrepreneur and wellness educator, experienced this firsthand. Her family faced health challenges post-COVID, from her husband's Lyme disease diagnosis to her battle with skin cancer. These trials led to a focus on creating wellness sanctuaries at home and trusting intuitive health decisions.

In this episode, my conversation with Suzanna revealed valuable lessons on prioritizing health and using intuitive guidance to discover a meaningful path in cancer treatment.

Our intuition is so important and is a gift from God. We need to listen to it, go inward more, and recognize that we have significant power and influence over our health and well-being.

She is extremely passionate about helping others heal as well as continuing to educate herself on new tools for her healing.

Emotions are incredibly powerful—they shape how we experience life. Yet, expressing them can feel scary. We worry about being judged or seen as vulnerable, so we often hide our feelings away.

In this episode, we look into how mastering our emotions isn’t just liberating—it’s transformative, making room for deep personal growth and healing. To help me with this, I bring in Rich Ahlers, who is on a mission to redefine holistic well-being, specializing in empowering men through retreats and community support. Rich’s knowledge has greatly reshaped lives, including my husband, Mark Heller, whose health and wellness journey includes attending one of Rich’s retreats.
