In this episode of The Loving Well Podcast, host Dr. Carrie Rosario sits down with Dr. Kim Sexton-Lewter, former candidate for the North Carolina State Senate, to reflect on the courage it takes to pursue a calling and the unexpected joy that can emerge along the way. Together, they explore what it means to step into purpose, embrace the journey, and recognize the people who stand beside us as we grow. 

The episode reminds us of what Fannie Lou Hamer said: “Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.” Joy, too, is a form of freedom. At the heart of the conversation is a simple but powerful question: What becomes possible when we say yes to ourselves?  It reminds us that our dreams, our courage, and our collective support for one another can open doors we never imagined walking through.

In a world that moves fast and constantly asks for more, caregivers often give until there is little left for themselves. In this inaugural episode of The Loving Well Podcast, host Dr. Carrie Rosario sits down with Jason Hampden, filmmaker and founder of The Crafted Film Co (craftedfilmco.com), to explore what it truly means to stay full as a creative and as someone contributing to the broader caregiver ecosystem.

At the heart of the conversation is a simple yet urgent question: What does fullness actually feel like?

The episode reminds us of what Audre Lorde said: Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation. Caregivers and creatives alike need rhythms of rest, reflection, and community to remain full. When we nurture ourselves with intention, we expand our artful capacity to connect, build, and create with integrity.
