On Roundy’s Rants, Raves and Reviews, Tanya interviews singer, actress, and model Liahona Olayan, originally from Hawaii and now based in Utah, who competed on American Idol Season 19 at 16 and reached the Top 24, later releasing her album “Just Me Liahona.” Liahona shares how reality TV shaped her, how she set firm standards around faith and modesty despite industry pressure, and a defining lesson from her father about worth and virtue. She discusses accountability, repentance, and choosing to save physical intimacy for marriage, pushing back on “test drive” dating culture. Liahona explains how her family’s move to Hawaii and living in a tent deepened gratitude, humility, and her relationship with God, inspiring her songwriting and mission testimony through music. She also mentions upcoming concerts and competing in the Miss Greater Salt Lake pageant.

https://latinobybirthamericanbychoice.com/
Host Tanya Roundy interviews Juan Pablo Panchano, a Cali, Colombia–born filmmaker-turned-audiologist and new author, about his book “Latino by Birth, American by Choice.” Juan shares moving to New Jersey at 12, his film production work (including projects like Spider-Man and Law & Order), and what inspired his writing on the “spirit of America” as a God-centered call to growth beyond geography or citizenship. He explains his ideas on knowledge, unity, liberty as agency, and why moral and religious principles are essential for freedom, referencing founding-era perspectives and contrasts with Latin America’s historical attachment to old systems. Juan discusses his hopes for renewed unity, love, and kindness, where to find the book (Amazon and latinobybirthamericanbychoice.com), and his upcoming community video project, “Pick Up Your Piece.”

This is a video about Sourdough and the Savior: An allegory for our Time with Ganel-lyn Condie

https://a.co/d/0hrH4w3s

Host Tanya Roundy welcomes author and speaker Ganel-lyn Condie to discuss her new book, “Sourdough and the Savior” (her 20th, released in February), and how sourdough became a metaphor for faith, healing, and resilience. Ganel-lyn shares her background in teaching, media, and the intersection of mental health and faith following the suicide of her sister 12 years ago, plus her long-term lupus diagnosis and family life. She explains how her writing began from spiritual promptings, how grief shaped her first book, and the importance of timing, vulnerability, and a stewardship (not ownership) mindset in work, health, and relationships. Ganel-lyn outlines the book’s sourdough steps—start, feed, grow, create, share—connecting them to Christ as the “bread of life,” and closes with encouragement to honor quiet, “middle” seasons of uncertainty.

Diana Cuatto Kessler on Shamanism, Earth Wisdom & Her Sacred Circle Spirit Animal Oracle Deck

Host Tanya Roundy interviews counselor, writer, and retired ballet director Diana Kessler about her post-retirement focus on shamanism and Earth wisdom and her mission to bring Indigenous wisdom from North and South America into modern life. Kessler describes creating the “Sacred Circle Spirit Animal Oracle” deck and detailed guidebook based on the North American medicine wheel, inspired by a 2002 near-death appendix experience and developed through a six-month journey around Sedona and the Verde Valley. She explains the deck’s structure (creator cards for lower/middle/upper worlds, lunar cycles, spirit pathways, stones, and cardinal directions), shares example cards and haiku, and discusses oracle work as guidance rather than prediction. The conversation emphasizes healing, integrating light and shadow, gratitude, joy, grounding in nature, and practical elemental practices like simple candle-based fire ceremonies.

Sleeping Wizards: Author Rusty Marcum on Grief and Genre Mashups

Host Tanya Roundy interviews writer Rusty Marcum who shares his background, love of mixed genres, and how grief shapes much of his work. He describes his award-winning pilot/spec script “Jasper,” about a family grieving a son’s suicide who move to a haunted Colorado town where once-friendly ghosts turn dangerous, and notes early Netflix interest faded. Rusty discusses inspirations from short stories and classic films, plus a sci-fi/fantasy concept sparked by a hiking experience and a dream. He explains how “Sleeping Wizards” evolved into a graphic novel after industry feedback, finding artist Joanna Taylor, and selling the pitch to publisher Iron Circus; a Kickstarter (Feb 16–Mar 18) seeks $18,000 with digital, print, and D&D one-shot options. He closes with advice to writers to be easy on themselves.

This is a video about Stepping out of Fear: Venting with Nervous System Whisperer Jennifer Grove



Host Tanya Roundy interviews her friend Jennifer Grove, a venting coach and “nervous system whisperer” who helps high-functioning, stressed-out women relax, release emotions, and feel healthier. They discuss how people bottle feelings, confuse validation with staying mad, and ignore nervous-system signals like tension and discomfort until problems escalate. Jennifer explains fear as often rooted in the unknown and past experiences, and they emphasize practicing presence, stillness, and boundaries—especially around technology and constant notifications. Jennifer shares experiments like a silent retreat and keeping her phone on Do Not Disturb, arguing that phones should be tools, not dictators. They explore rebuilding real community starting with neighbors, seeking help and accountability, and Jennifer’s approach combining talk with body-based release methods like breathwork, tapping, and NLP. Jennifer’s key takeaway is intentional breathing to “thrive,” not just survive.

Broken Souls and Hope with the Dreadlocked Doc
https://linktr.ee/Dreadlocked_Doc


Host Tanya Roundy interviews Nairobi-based Dr. Dave (“The Dreadlock Doc”), a medical doctor, international humanitarian, author, mental health advocate, actor, stand-up comedian, and polyglot. He explains how his dreadlocks challenged stereotypes about doctors, how he was pushed into medicine by his father, and how threats over refusing corruption led him into NGO and charity work focused on reducing newborn mortality. After depression and suicidal thoughts, he found humanitarian work by applying for Ebola response roles and has served since 2014 in crises including Liberia, South Sudan, Ukraine, and the Gaza response. He discusses the lack of mental health systems for responders before, during, and after deployment, shares efforts to set up psychologist support for teams, and explains how his book "Broken Souls" and his comedy help process trauma.

Faith, Civics, and the ‘Supreme Republican Principle’: Andrew Langford on Faith and Politics

https://www.amazon.com/Latter-Day-Saint-Republican-Andrew-Langford-ebook/dp/B0FJVKDJSL
Host Tanya Roundy interviews author Andrew Langford about his book compiled from his “Latter-day Saint Republican” essay series (written Dec 15, 2024–May 25, 2025; published June 2025) and his follow-up, “Latter-day Republicanism.” Langford describes his political background (American government class, Tea Party involvement, political science studies) and why he writes about the intersection of religion, politics, and government amid growing division, especially after the 2024 election and Donald Trump’s second-term victory. He argues the U.S. is a republic rather than a pure democracy, emphasizing protections against majority tyranny, and cites influences including scripture, LDS teachings, and a book on Reconstruction and Article IV, Section 4. A key essay focuses on Imago Dei as a “supreme Republican principle,” urging love of God and neighbor, common-ground ethics across faiths, and choosing divine nature over self-interest; he mentions Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Reagan and shares where to find his work online.
