Curl up, get comfortable, and step into a quieter kind of Christmas.

In this special fireside-style episode, Peggy Meyer tells the gentle, true story behind St. Nicholas—the real man whose life of humility, courage, and generosity inspired the figure we now know as Santa Claus.

Long before stockings and sleigh bells, Nicholas was a fourth-century bishop who gave secretly, defended the vulnerable, and lived his faith with deep compassion.

Through history, legend, and heart, this episode invites listeners to rediscover the warmth at the center of Christmas—and to carry that spirit forward through simple, meaningful acts of kindness.

This is a story meant to be listened to slowly… perhaps by a glowing fire… as we remember what the season is truly about.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Diana Driscoll shares her extraordinary journey from sudden disability to becoming one of the leading patient-researchers on POTS and invisible illnesses. After contracting a virus on a mission trip, her life changed overnight—hallucinations, heart rate issues, digestive shutdown, insomnia, tremors, and countless symptoms that left her bedridden. With little help from the medical system and even being told POTS patients are “perfectly healthy,” she decided to search for answers herself.

What followed was a decade-long research journey—leading to new genetic insights, biomarkers, and five medical patents. Dr. Driscoll explains why many “invisible illnesses” aren’t invisible at all—we’re simply not measuring the right things. She helps patients uncover the real causes behind autonomic nervous system dysfunction and chronic inflammation, often leading to full recovery.

This conversation offers science, hope, and empowerment—not just for those with POTS or chronic illness but for anyone wanting to live a healthier, more purposeful, and more resilient life.

The virus that triggered Dr. Driscoll’s sudden disability

What POTS really is—and why it’s so misunderstood

Why inflammation and oxidative stress are at the root of many “invisible” illnesses

The groundbreaking eye research that helped identify POTS clues

Using genetics and biomarkers to find REAL answers

How she developed patented supplements to support autonomic nervous system function

Steps anyone can take to stay healthier as they age

Why purpose—not pleasure—is the real foundation of happiness

How hope and humor protect the mind during hard seasons

What to do when people tell you “you can’t”

The signs you're actually onto something big when naysayers appear

Invisible illnesses are often measurable — we just need the right tests.

Chronic inflammation plays a huge role in POTS and many other conditions.

Health foundations like movement, nutrition, nervous system support, and reducing oxidative stress matter for everyone.

Hope is not optional — it’s chemistry.

Purpose is the cornerstone of long-term happiness.

You are capable of more than people think — and more than you think.

In today’s episode of Positive Solutions 4 Life, Peggy breaks down Matthew Kelly’s powerful book Slowing Down to the Speed of Joy — a message that cuts through our cultural obsession with “hustle,” overcommitment, productivity pressure, and the myth of time management.

This episode challenges the belief that more efficiency or better scheduling is the key to a fulfilled life. Instead, Kelly offers a transformational truth:

Joy comes from slowing down.

✔️ Why the “jar of life” metaphor is flawed — and how it tricks us into believing we can fit in everything

Busy is not a badge of honor — it’s a thief of joy.

Joy has a speed — and it’s human, not hurried.

Sabbath is a rhythm of rest that realigns your life with God and your soul.

Margin = breathing room = the space where love, wisdom, and clarity grow.

Contentment is enough + gratitude.

You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to flourish.

Why we behave the way we do
