What if the answer to weight gain and low energy after 50 is not eating less, but eating smarter?

In this episode of The Giant Builders, Lois Wyant talks with Dr. Ginny Trierweiler, a psychologist and health coach who helps women in their 50s and 60s learn how to eat in a way that truly supports their changing bodies. They unpack why dieting and restriction often stop working after menopause, how processed foods create more stress in the body, and why abundant nutritious foods can lead to better energy, less inflammation, and a more peaceful relationship with food.

Dr. Ginny shares her own journey from pain, inflammation, and pre-diabetes to discovering a more sustainable and wise way to eat. She also explains how habits, identity, and even taste buds can change when women begin nourishing their bodies differently.

If you are tired of quick fixes, confused by conflicting nutrition advice, or frustrated that what used to work no longer does, this conversation will encourage you and give you a better path forward.

Burnout doesn’t mean you failed—it may be the very place where God begins restoring you.

In this episode of The Giant Builders, Lois Wyant sits down with author and former federal employee Vivian Cumins to talk about burnout, breakdown, and the faith-filled journey toward restoration. After decades of service in the U.S. Air Force and USDA Forest Service, Vivian faced anxiety, depression, cancer, and a complete emotional breakdown that forced her to surrender everything to God.

From that wilderness season came her book Breakdown Better: 52 Restoring Devotionals for Burned-Out Women, a powerful reminder that breakdown is not something to avoid—but something God can redeem.

Vivian shares:

1. Why burnout is not a matter of if, but when
2. How faith sustains us through emotional, spiritual, and physical collapse
3. Three biblical principles for restoring balance
4. Why women struggle to ask for help
5. How God rebuilds weary souls one step at a time

If you’re overwhelmed, exhausted, or quietly struggling, this episode will meet you right where you are.

If you’re a business owner who feels like marketing only happens when you’re already behind, this episode is for you.

In this solo episode of The Giant Builders, Lois Wyant breaks down how artificial intelligence can actually help small and local businesses — not as a shiny shortcut, but as leverage inside a real visibility system.

Lois explains why most business owners feel invisible online, even when they’re great at what they do, and introduces the concept of the Invisible Loop — the cycle of inconsistent marketing, inconsistent leads, and constant stress. From there, she walks through the four essential ways every business should be using AI to create clarity, consistency, trust, and predictable visibility.

This is not a technical training. There are no tools to memorize or buttons to click. Instead, you’ll learn how to think about AI strategically so it supports your business instead of overwhelming it.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. Why urgency creates bad marketing decisions
2. How message confusion silently kills leads
3. Why being “open” when buyers are ready matters more than office hours
4. How AI can help build trust before the phone ever rings
5. What Google and AI search engines actually reward
6. How to break the marketing roller coaster once and for all

24:13 Your next simple step

Have you ever felt that quiet but persistent itch that something in your career just isn’t aligned anymore? In this episode of The Giant Builders, Lois Wyant sits down with career ownership coach Stacy Heisey-Terrell to unpack how to recognize when a career shift may be necessary—and how to approach that decision with clarity instead of fear.

Stacy brings years of experience from both corporate human resources and individual coaching, helping professionals move from feeling stuck in the “passenger seat” of their careers into the driver’s seat. Together, they explore the difference between a difficult season at work and a deeper misalignment that’s been quietly building for years.

This conversation goes beyond job titles. Stacy shares how transferable skills like leadership, strategy, mentoring, and problem-solving often open doors far beyond what people expect. They also discuss why many professionals feel trapped by income, status, or expectations they set earlier in life—and how redefining success for your current season can unlock freedom, purpose, and peace.

You’ll also hear why career changes don’t have an age limit, why fear often masks opportunity, and how intentional self-reflection can reveal what’s missing—and what’s possible. If you’ve ever wondered whether your career is supporting your family goals, personal values, or long-term vision, this episode will help you pause, reflect, and think strategically.

Watch the full episode to learn how to reassess your goals, reconnect with what energizes you, and take thoughtful steps toward a career that grows with you instead of pulling you away from the life you want.
