The Inner Edge

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Kristen Dudeck, a chiropractor and massage therapist dedicated to empowering girls and women to build strong, lifelong foundations in their health.

Dr. Dudeck believes that longevity in health starts in adolescence - and that girls and women deserve to feel confident, informed, and supported in their bodies at every stage of life.

From prenatal and postnatal care to perimenopause, she shares insights from her work with patients across the lifespan and the common refrain she hears: “I wish I knew this sooner.”

We discuss the gaps in women’s health research, the importance of self-advocacy, and why curiosity and individualized care are essential to thriving.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that everything you need to succeed already lives within you - and that taking charge of your health early can change everything.

What if compassion didn’t require self-sacrifice?

In this episode, we explore the difference between being a caring, empathetic human and overextending ourselves in ways that quietly dysregulate our nervous system. Many of us have been taught that compassion means responding, fixing, or holding space at all costs - but what happens when our capacity is already stretched thin?

This conversation invites you into a deeper level of self-awareness: learning how to stay compassionate without abandoning yourself. We’ll talk about why pausing is not the same as being uncaring, how your nervous system communicates your limits, and why you’re allowed to care deeply without reacting to everything that asks for your attention.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted by your own empathy, this episode is a gentle reminder that boundaries can be an act of compassion too - or yourself and for others.

-Compassion is not measured by how much you absorb.
-Capacity matters.
-And you are allowed to protect your peace.

In this episode I explore the quiet exhaustion shaping today’s generation - one growing up under constant pressure, comparison, and connection. From excessive screen time to the relentless influence of social media, many young people are navigating a world where rest feels unproductive, validation is public, and being “always on” is the norm.

I unpack how digital culture is impacting mental health, identity, self-worth, and emotional resilience. This isn’t about blame - it’s about awareness, compassion, and asking better questions about what our kids, teens, and young adults are carrying beneath the surface.

If you’re a parent, educator, caregiver, or simply someone wondering how we got here , this conversation invites you to pause, reflect, and consider how we can protect the heart in a screen-saturated world.

Marcia Earheart's life was forever changed by unimaginable loss - and who chose to transform her deep grief into purpose. This episode is for anyone who has experienced loss, supports those who are grieving, or believes that even in life’s most devastating moments, transformation is still possible.

After losing two sons, Marcia found herself navigating the darkest path a parent can walk. Rather than allowing grief to silence her, she answered a profound calling to serve others who are walking through trauma, loss, and heartbreak.

She is the cofounder of The Sterling Rose Sanctuary, a nonprofit providing boots-on-the-ground support for individuals experiencing grief and trauma, and has devoted her life to creating safe, compassionate spaces for healing.

A trained educator, certified Life, Grief, Trauma, Brain, and Mental Health Coach, mediator, Heartsync minister, and author of Gripping Grace in the Garden of Grief: A Place for the Heart, Marcia brings both professional depth and lived wisdom to her work. Her approach blends evidence-informed practices with profound empathy, offering hope without bypassing pain.

Marcia and I explore what it means to survive profound loss, how grief can become a catalyst for meaningful action, and how healing does not mean forgetting - but learning how to breathe again, move again, and live again.

In this episode, I sit down with Drew Sullivan - Senior Vice President at American Program Bureau. Drew’s work centers on elevating voices that challenge norms, spark progress, and inspire meaningful conversation on campuses and communities around the world.

We dive into Drew’s personal journey, including his recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic and how getting sober ignited a renewed sense of purpose rooted in service, storytelling, and responsibility. Drew shares how his commitment to authenticity and representation shapes the way he champions changemakers, recruits emerging voices, and helps build platforms for stories that matter.

This conversation is honest, hopeful, and full of wisdom about resilience, legacy, and what’s possible when we take one small step toward a better version of ourselves and live live from the inside out.

Join me in this episode as I sit heart to heart with Jenna Kedy and talk about navigating life with a chronic illness, the impact that physical health has on our mental health and how we can be our best health advocates.

How often do we say no to joy in our lives because we're too busy or too overwhelmed - or just don't have the capacity for one more thing?

In this episode, I share a little story about how the spark of an idea that my 7 year old had, and a little synchronicity of the universe, turned into a summer of fun for the whole family.
