Whew—this one’s an ALL TIME FAVORITE! 🙌🏽

And our last episode of this season!

Curious to know what a s*xual story coach actually is?

Bridgett Blood explains while sharing about her journey, the truth that good and safe men do exist, how to honor our good bodies as women, and what it looks like to navigate desire as a Christian—without fear or shame.

Bring a journal. You’ll want to take notes! 📝

I'm SO SO grateful for this beautiful and important conversation.

"Bridgett is a certified Connection Codes coach and Unwanted guide, speaker, and host of Recover Your Life Podcast. She helps Christian singles, dating, and engaged couples understand their s*xual story, and build relationships that align with their core values. 

Through her coaching and group programs, Bridgett creates spaces for honest conversations about faith, s*xuality, and emotional health—empowering her clients to move toward the life and relationships they truly desire.

With a background in pastoral leadership and a passion for trauma-informed discipleship, Bridgett understands the tension of holding both faith and desire. Her approach is rooted in curiosity and emotional safety, helping others reconnect with their wholeness- proving that you CAN live a life that’s both hot and holy.

When she’s not coaching, you’ll find her going for walks with friends, sipping decaf coconut milk lattes, or laughing at a joke she hasn’t even finished telling. She believes life is best lived with curiosity, a little humor, and a whole lot of wild wonder."

We often hear about women and longing for romance, but we don't often hear a man who's lived a full creative life of faith and career by the age of 70, talking about longing.

We learn about the origin story and creative journey of D.David Morin. Actor, writer and director originally from California now living in South Africa for the past 12 years.

You may have seen him on your television via "The Kissing Booth" on Netflix, a commercial, or even an old school 2002 Christian movie called "Timechanger".

I'm reminded through this conversation that God still makes a beautiful story of our lives in the waiting...

One of the richest moments for me in 2025.

I may have been sweating while having this conversation with podcast host and singer-songwriter​ Andrew Greer, who I've admired and respected for years!
It's been refreshing to slow down and sit with men who add a fresh and life-giving perspective to what it's like navigating the tension of faith, emotions and singleness in our current fast-paced culture.

"If you don't get married, what will you do?"​ - A line that comes up in this conversation...
Honestly, this conversation was like a sweet balm over my heart and I think you might also find something worthwhile for your own journey as well.
And don't forget to show​ Andrew Greer some love​ online  - let him know what stood out to you in this conversation and your main takeaway. You know we love to "pray it forward" here.

​Thank you, Andrew for reminding us that Jesus knows how to tend to our wounds and "calling is collaborative"...

Come get these wisdom nuggets Morgan is DROPPINGGGGGGG.​

Also...."Guess who Patrice and Morgan are dating on the line dance floor..."

But really, we do spill the LOCAL LINE DANCING TEA - And Morgan may or may not have revealed her line dancing crush...and yes, we name drop a ton in this one. 

One of my favorite conversations of 2025. 

We also talk about partner dancing, how I feel about the "talking" phase with a guy, what it sounds like to have a voice as a woman and processing our boundaries with better language -- spoiler alert: Therapy & counseling can help immensely with this.

Jesus take the wheel!

Enjoy!

Get ready to take some notes sweet friend! Being able to sit down with licensed therapist Jason VanRuler was incredible as he walks me through a bit of my own healing and how we might move forward after deep relationship disappointment, life setback or  heartbreak.

And how we can actually recognize red and green flags without trying to memorize a whole list.

Welcome to Season 4:  The Heal, Move & Dream series

Sometimes we are just living life...watching a Christmas Lifetime movie called "Christmas in the Spotlight", and we get sucked in and sometimes, just sometimes...it's with a funny God-purpose.

I never imagined that I'd have a chance to sit down with the lead actor and discover his very personal and powerful walk with Jesus.

This conversation is full of some loving truths that I think we all need to be reminded of. 

And if you found this podcast episode as a part of your deep dive on Laith Wallschleger, I'm so glad you're here! I hope you make yourself at home and find something rich and tailor-made for right where you are in life.

If you are in the midst of a hard and trying season, this conversation is especially for you.

I sit down with my friends, Henry & Michelle - founders of "Henry's Coffee". They have a beautiful, crazy story of their unique coffee dreams, God and sacrifice.

Feel free to show them some love on Instagram and if you're in California, don't be shy :) go and pay them a visit!

My Season 4 Heal, Move & Dream series has officially kicked off!

I waited over 2 years to finally attend this incredible "Heaven on Earth" music festival. I can't fully explain it, but I felt a draw to be there.

And after sitting down with our new friend, Emily Hostetler, it's now so clear to my heart why I was meant to go and how God used this festival to bring healing to my heart...belonging and longing.

I think this conversation might just inspire your heart in some unexpected ways.

My Season 4 Heal, Move & Dream series has officially kicked off!

And we are having all kinds of new conversations this year! Including sitting down with humans I meet on Instagram!

This is my first ever conversation with coach Shanna and we find out in the course of our time together that we have different perspectives when it comes to human nature and healing modalities.

However, I hope you hear and receive the kindness of Shanna's heart in this conversation, even if you don't subscribe to some of her core beliefs.

Looking forward to hearing some of your takeaways from this one!
