Title:

From Cancer Conqueror to Cardiac Arrest Survivor: Stephanie Franklin-Suber’s Journey ofSurrender & Rebuilding Your Temple God’s Way | Old School Podcast

Show Notes:

In this powerful episode of Old School, host Michele Vrabel sits down with Stephanie Franklin-Suber — cancer conqueror, cardiac arrest survivor, certified Christian health coach, and founderof Rebuild Your Temple God’s Way.

Stephanie shares her 20-year faith journey that began with a rare, aggressive breast cancerdiagnosis in 2006 at the height of her legal career. Doctors gave her a grim five-year prognosis.Against all medical odds, she is now 20 years cancer-free. But survival was only the beginning.What followed were years of chronic illness, the sudden loss of her sister and brother-in-law, apandemic spiral of emotional eating and hopelessness, and a near-death cardiac arrest in 2025that required 55 minutes of CPR and extensive thoracic surgery.

Through every season, God lovingly redirected her from a life of striving, perfectionism, andpeople-pleasing into one of full surrender — body, soul, and spirit. Stephanie now helps othersrestore their physical health, renew their soul, and realign their spirit through her Triune TempleJourney, modeled after the architecture of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

This conversation is raw, faith-filled, and full of hope for anyone walking through prolongedsuffering, slow healing, or the quiet battle of trusting God in the middle — not just for themiracle.

• Self-care is not selfish — it is stewardship of the temple God has given you. Neglecting itleaves us vulnerable.

• Trusting God is not trusting Him to do what we want or expect. It is trusting Hischaracter, love, timing, and sovereignty even when healing unfolds slowly.

• Healing often happens in the middle of the process, not just in the breakthrough moment.

• Striving, perfectionism, and people-pleasing can look like faithfulness on the outside

  while depleting body, soul, and spirit on the inside.

• God uses seasons of suffering to lovingly redirect us from survival into surrender and

  ultimately into service.

• We are whole persons — body, soul, and spirit — created in the image of a triune God.

  Caring for only one part leaves the others fragmented.

• Even when healing is slow, God is still faithful. He never leaves or forsakes us.

How to Fix Your Sleep Naturally: The DREAM Framework | Irina Macare Sleep Coach

In this episode of Old School with Michele Vrabel, Michele sits down with certified Sleep Coach Irina Macare to dive deep into holistic, science-backed ways to overcome insomnia, improve sleep quality, boost energy, and reclaim your health — without jumping straight to pills or quick fixes.

Irina shares her powerful personal journey from IT engineer burnout and chronic insomnia to becoming a dedicated sleep coach. Together they explore why understanding the "why" behind sleep matters more than rigid rules, the low-hanging fruit everyone can start today, and Irina's signature **DREAM Framework** — a practical 5-pillar system for better rest.

🔑 **Key Topics Covered:**

- Why effort and control actually sabotage sleep (sleep is like a cat — the harder you chase it, the more it runs away)

- The huge role of light exposure, circadian rhythm, and regularity in modern indoor lifestyles

- How stress, negative thought loops, and bedtime habits create hyperarousal that blocks rest

- Low-hanging fruit: Morning light, consistent wake/bed times (even on weekends), and optimizing your sleep environment

- The DREAM Framework: **D**rive (sleep pressure), **R**hythm (circadian cues), **E**nvironment (light/noise/temp), **A**utomatic habits & loops, **M**ind-body connection & stress management

- Why sleep doesn't reward effort — and how acceptance changes everything

- Tools like light therapy glasses, SAD lamps, and apps for jet lag & circadian alignment

- The myth of the "magic pill" vs. sustainable lifestyle changes (10 miles into the woods = 10 miles back out)

🌅 How to Love Your Morning | A Conversation with Jennifer Dukes Lee

In this inspiring episode, Michele welcomes back bestselling author and Bible teacher Jennifer Dukes Lee to talk about her newest book and companion Bible study, How to Love Your Morning and How to Love Your Morning Bible Study. Together, they explore how mornings are more than just a time of day — they are sacred thresholds where hope, mercy, and purpose begin again.

Jennifer shares how the idea for the book was sparked by her daughter during a family vacation, leading her into a year-long deep dive into the 200+ mornings mentioned throughout Scripture. From Genesis to Resurrection morning, she discovered that God has a special affection for mornings — moments of obedience, renewal, courage, and fresh mercy. Whether you're an early riser or someone who dreads the alarm, Jennifer reminds us: you are a morning person because you are made in the image of a morning-loving God.

📖 What You'll Learn in This Episode

• Why mornings are woven throughout the entire biblical narrative

• The significance of Resurrection morning

• The powerful truth of Lamentations 3:22–23 — “His mercies are new every morning”

• How to create a personalized morning rhythm that works for your season of life

• Why you don’t need an Instagram-perfect routine to start your day with God

• How doubt and faith questions can actually deepen your spiritual journey

Jennifer also vulnerably shares about seasons of deep doubt in her early faith and how those struggles now allow her to be a safe place for others wrestling with belief.

🌿 About the Book & Bible Study

How to Love Your MorningRelease Date: April 7, 2026

This book and companion Bible study explore biblical mornings and provide practical tools for designing a life-giving morning routine tailored to your unique season — whether you’re a working professional, stay-at-home mom, retiree, widow, or college student.

Inside you’ll find:

• Deep dives into biblical “morning” moments

• Reflections on hope after hard seasons

• Practical guidance for creating sustainable morning rhythms

• Encouragement for women facing grief, busyness, burnout, or transition

🎙️ Why Not You? | A Conversation with Ed Newton

In this powerful episode, Michele sits down with Pastor Ed Newton to unpack the heart behind his book Why Not You? and the journey that shaped it. Raised by two deaf parents — with his mother also living with cerebral palsy — Ed shares how growing up as the primary communicator in his family formed his faith, resilience, and calling. From interpreting for his parents as a child to becoming a pastor and author, Ed reveals how what once felt like limitation became divine preparation.

Together, Michele and Ed explore the tension between “Why me?” and “Why not you?” — addressing insecurity, self-doubt, and the negative self-talk so many believers wrestle with. Ed walks through the four circles that help uncover purpose: personality, passion, pain, and people. With honesty and humor, he reminds us that God repurposes pain, calls us up (not out), and believes in us more than we believe in ourselves.

🔑 Key Takeaways

• Your pain may be preparation for your purpose.

• God confidence is different from self-confidence.

• Mistakes do not disqualify you — ask Moses.

• The voices around you often confirm what God has already placed within you.

• “Two great days in a person’s life: the day they are born and the day they realize why.”

📖 About the Book

Why Not You? challenges readers who struggle with insecurity, comparison, or feeling “not enough.” Through biblical insight, personal storytelling, and practical application, Ed invites readers to step into their God-given purpose with bold faith.

Show Notes: "Enchanted Crossroads: From Desert Dreams to Faith-Fueled Fantasy with Wilson Hickman"

Join Michele as she chats with Arizona-born filmmaker Wilson Hickman, whose Christian upbringing blossomed into personal faith at 15 via a conscience-awakening Ten Commandments gospel presentation—shifting from "earning heaven" to full trust in Christ's sacrifice. Homeschooled and immersed in physical books (Narnia his fave), Wilson started crafting makeshift stories young, evolving to 200-page novels, then screenplays blending sci-fi/fantasy with good-vs-evil themes. Wrestling theology degree vs. film school, he felt God calling him to glorify Him in entertainment's cultural sway—ditching desert-set sci-fi post-college for Kentucky's lush greens, inspiring character-driven fantasy like The Lost Healer series (Narnia meets *The Chosen*'s depth). Michele shares her daughter's ASU screenwriting path (potential London Prime Video gig) and pastry chef background, tying into Wilson's creative pivot.

Wilson unpacks The Lost Healer's plot: a princess fleeing her father's murder and kingdom's invasion, seeking a forbidden relic to save her people—shot as a low-budget proof-of-concept episode at Kentucky's Red River Gorge (Eden-like vibes), with original score, now festival-circuiting (Best TV Series win at International Christian Film Fest 2025). They geek on Christian filmmaking's shift (more heroic male roles amid emasculation trends, Westerns rising), faith integration without preachiness, and Wilson's nugget: Surrender life to God daily—not a one-time theological box-check, but conscious kill-the-natural-self commitment (per C.S. Lewis/Proverbs) to avoid entitlement/bitterness. Ideal for creatives blending art and faith—Michele eyes angel-investing his crowdfunding, praising his "current of God's will" trajectory.
