We’re in our Health & Wellness Series, and today we’re diving into a topic that’s way more important than most of us realize. If you’ve been feeling tired, bloated, anxious, or just off—even when you’re “doing all the right things”—this episode is for you.

We’ve already chatted with Dr. Nicole Cain about how gut health affects way more than digestion (hello, anxiety and mood swings). But today, we’re going deeper with holistic health coach Hannah Aylward. She’s on a mission to help women heal their digestion, balance their bodies, and finally feel like themselves again.

Hannah’s breaking down what’s really going on when your gut is out of whack—and how it’s messing with your energy, hormones, and emotional health. We’re talking about the foods that help, the ones to avoid, the truth about probiotics, and simple steps you can take today to get your gut working for you, not against you.

This episode could totally shift how you think about your health. Because when your body starts working in harmony? You don’t just survive—you thrive.

If you’ve ever been told you’re too much—too sensitive, too intense, too ambitious—this message is for you. Maybe you’ve left a room feeling like you should’ve shrunk yourself to fit in and played it safe. 

Smiled and nodded instead of speaking up. And somewhere along the way, you started to wonder if the problem was you. But hear me loud and clear: You are not the problem. You’re not too much. You’re just in the wrong rooms.

Let’s talk about the right ones—the rooms where your energy isn’t drained, it’s doubled, where your “unrealistic” dreams spark something in others. Where your passion is seen as purpose, and your depth doesn’t make people uncomfortable—it makes them come alive. Because the right people? They don’t ask you to tone it down. They look at you and say, “More of that, please.”

So if you’ve ever second-guessed your voice, your ideas, or the way God wired you, lean in. This conversation might be the permission slip you’ve been waiting for. Because the right room doesn’t just accept your fullness—it celebrates it.

And, it’s time you walked boldly into that space.

Some truths are just too good to hear only once. That’s why I’m bringing back the most powerful moments from my favorite solo episodes—because real transformation doesn’t happen in a single “aha” moment. It’s built through repetition, reflection, and showing up again and again.

We don’t just need inspiration—we need truth on repeat until it moves from head knowledge to heart habit. These aren’t just feel-good soundbites. They’re practical, proven strategies rooted in science and soul to help you manage stress, reclaim your joy, and step boldly into who God created you to be.

Because when your mind, body, and spirit are finally aligned? You don’t just get by—you lead with clarity, create with confidence, and live with purpose. So take what speaks to you, leave the rest, and come back anytime you need a reset. You’re not behind. You’re becoming.

Here’s the deal: you’re not broken. You’re just living a life that was never meant to run on hustle and hustle alone. Most women aren’t overwhelmed because they’re doing it wrong—they’re overwhelmed because no one ever told them they could stop and ask, What do I actually need?

Between soccer practice and science projects, we’ve mastered productivity. But peace? That feels like a luxury. If your life looks full but feels bone-dry, that’s not failure—it’s a flashing neon sign saying, Something’s gotta change. So today, we’re not tweaking your to-do list. We’re reimagining it.

We’re diving back into our Health & Wellness Series today, and I’ve got a treat for you—Dr. Allison Cook is back! She’s one of your all-time favorite guests (and mine too), and every time she joins me, it’s like a masterclass in emotional health with a side of grace.

Allison is a brilliant therapist who helps women understand their emotions without shame—no guilt trips, no fluff, just real, practical wisdom. She has an incredible way of making life's messy parts feel manageable and even hopeful.

In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that's always relevant: how to handle emotions in a way that’s actually helpful. It's not just about managing them; it's about learning to make them work for you, not against you. This conversation is one you won't want to miss and will likely find yourself revisiting because it’s that good.

Let’s start with a little truth bomb—because you know I’m all about cutting through the noise. You don’t need more information. You need movement.

We live in a world that worships knowledge, but here’s the kicker: knowing doesn’t change your life. Doing does. You can have a brain full of brilliant ideas, bookmarked podcasts, and underlined books—but still feel stuck. Like you’re hustling hard and getting nowhere.

Sound familiar? You’re not broken. You’re not lazy. You’ve just been chasing the wrong fix. This episode is your permission slip to stop consuming and start creating. You don’t need another strategy or self-help quote—you need structure, courage, and a whole lot of grace to act on what you already know.

We’re talking about how to let your emotions serve you instead of control you, how to move through the hard stuff without shame, and how to build the life God designed for you to live, finally. It’s practical, powerful, and packed with wisdom you’ll want to revisit again and again. Let’s go!

We’re in our Health & Wellness Series, and today I’ve got my dear friend and favorite repeat guest, Lisa Whittle, back on the show. Honestly, at this point, she’s basically my co-host—and every time she joins me, the conversation is fire.

Lisa just released her new Bible study, Body and Soul, and we’re diving into what she calls “whole body theology.” It’s powerful, it’s eye-opening, and it’ll make you rethink everything you thought you knew about faith, health, and how God designed your body.

We’re talking about how the enemy twists body image into a weapon, how to break free from those lies, and what Scripture really says about honoring your body—not out of vanity, but out of reverence.

If you’ve ever struggled with how you see yourself, this episode is for you. It’s truth-packed, grace-filled, and might change the way you walk through the world.

Think back to the person you were five years ago. The routines you swore by, the songs you couldn’t stop playing, the things you thought mattered most. Funny right? That version of you feels familiar, but also like someone you barely recognize.

Now rewind twenty years. You’ll probably see a completely different woman—different dreams, different struggles, different victories. And you know what? That’s not a mistake. That’s growth. That’s grace in motion.

We don’t just wake up one day and arrive at who we’re meant to be. Most of us drift, wondering how we got here. But what if you didn’t drift? What if you chose? Partner with the Lord, bring intention to your days, and design the next version of you with purpose.

What if I told you that overthinking isn’t proof of brilliance—it’s fear in a fancy outfit? It looks productive. It feels responsible. But let’s be honest—it’s just mental busywork dressed up like wisdom. Overthinking is like binge-watching the same three episodes of worry on repeat, hoping the plot twist will finally reveal itself.

Here’s the truth, friend: you don’t need more time to think. You need a fresh approach to move forward. Because after a couple of hours, your brain turns into a GPS stuck in “recalculating”—lots of noise, zero progress.

But today? We’re done with that. No more spiraling. No more second-guessing. No more talking yourself out of the very thing God keeps nudging you toward.

This is your permission slip to stop overanalyzing and start obeying. This episode is your exit ramp from analysis paralysis—and a bold eviction notice to those rent-free thoughts that have overstayed their welcome.
