The Debrief with Staci & Ruthie

Welcome to the very first episode of The Debrief with Staci & Ruthie — where faith, friendship, and real life collide.

After months of talking about starting this podcast, we finally hit record. Between technology struggles, self-doubt, sick kids, work schedules, and “life happening,” the enemy definitely tried it… but we’re here anyway. (Not today, Satan.)

In this kickoff episode, we share:

1. how we met on an inpatient psych unit (not as patients—promise)
2. why Ruthie secretly called Staci “Pollyanna” behind her back (LOL)
3. how life and God brought us back together years later
4. why this podcast is more than entertainment — it’s connection, encouragement, and honestly… ministry

If you’ve ever felt alone, overwhelmed, misunderstood, or like you’re carrying too much… friend, pull up a chair. This space is for you.

So grab your coffee and whatever sanity you’ve got left — and let’s debrief this beautiful life together.
