  • 275. When Faith Feels Different in Marriage with Kristen Smith

    In this episode, Heather Rackham sits down with Coach Kristen Smith to talk about one of the hardest realities many faithful women face: navigating a marriage where their spouse's relationship with faith looks different than their own. Kristen shares her own story of struggling with resentment, sadness, anxiety, and disconnection as her husband gradually stepped away from church activity.

    Through her healing journey, Kristen discovered that the real miracle wasn't changing her husband—it was changing her focus. Together, Heather and Kristen explore how unmet expectations, nervous system dysregulation, negative thought patterns, and unresolved emotions can keep women stuck in chronic irritation and pain. They also talk about how mindset shifts, physical healing, gut health, and emotional awareness can help women let go of resentment, feel safer in their relationships, and create more joy in their lives.

    This conversation is for any woman who feels emotionally exhausted, spiritually lonely, or stuck in resentment—and is ready to begin healing from the inside out.

  • 271. I Was Made for Me: Turning Trauma into Strength with Becky Garner

  • 270. Midlife and the Nervous System Shift with Leah Davidson

    Midlife can feel like unraveling—but what if it's actually recalibration? In this empowering conversation, Heather sits down with nervous system expert Leah Davidson to explore what's really happening in a woman's brain and body during midlife. From hormonal shifts and identity changes to empty nesting and evolving relationships, Leah reframes this season not as breakdown—but as neurological transition and divine remembering.

  • 268. Finding Strength at The Well: Support for Foster and Adoptive Families with Bonnie Butler

    Heather Rackham sits down with emotional regulation coach Bonnie Butler to talk about the hidden emotional toll of raising children from trauma backgrounds — and the healing power of community. Bonnie shares her lived experience as a foster and adoptive parent and introduces the concept of emotional hygiene: the daily practice of checking in with your internal emotional state so you can respond intentionally instead of reacting from overwhelm.

    They discuss the emotional enmeshment that often happens in trauma-affected families, the importance of safe support systems, and Bonnie's new membership community, The Well, designed to refill exhausted caregivers. The conversation also highlights the national Attach conference and trauma-informed resources that benefit parents, professionals, and church leaders alike.

    This episode is a lifeline for caregivers and anyone supporting families touched by foster care, adoption, or trauma.

    Coach Jille Dunsmore is back to explore what it means to truly love and partner with your body instead of fighting against it.
