In this deeply moving episode of The Soul Talks, Theresa sits down with singer, songwriter, and storyteller Lindsay Lawler to talk about unexpected paths, motherhood, and the beauty that can emerge when life doesn’t unfold the way we planned.

Lindsay shares the emotional journey that led to adopting her daughter Freya. It's a story filled with heartbreak, faith, surprising timing, and the powerful moment that changed everything. She reflects on what it means to become a mother through adoption and why she believes adoption should be considered not just as a last resort, but as a beautiful first choice.

The conversation also explores Lindsay’s unusual career path, from performing in Nashville to becoming a voice for the trucking community through her advocacy and work on Road Gang Radio. Along the way, she shares how storytelling, music, and connection can bring dignity and visibility to people whose work often goes unseen.

This episode is a powerful reminder that family can be formed in many ways, and that sometimes the most meaningful stories are the ones we never expected to live.

What do you do when the life you imagined quietly falls apart?

In this deeply honest conversation, Lindsay Lawler shares the story behind the stage lights — the years of infertility, the devastating phone call that changed everything, the loneliness she carried in silence, and the trauma that cracked her world wide open.

At 37, Lindsay was told she had “the eggs of a 54-year-old.” What followed were fertility treatments, failed attempts, two adoptions that fell through, and a season of grief that tested her marriage, her faith, and her sense of identity. At the same time, she was navigating profound personal trauma and a spiritual awakening that shifted everything.

But this story does not end in despair.It ends in surrender.

It ends in healing.
It ends in adoption.
It ends with a daughter.Together, Theresa and Lindsay talk about:

• Infertility and the quiet shame women carry
• The strain infertility can place on a marriage
• Trauma, secrecy, and what happens when we finally “say the thing”
• Spiritual awakening in the middle of heartbreak
• Why adoption shouldn’t be considered a last resort
• Learning to metabolize pain instead of being consumed by it

This episode is for the woman who is waiting.
For the one crying on the kitchen floor.
For the one carrying something alone.

When we share our pain, it lessens its power. And sometimes the very thing that breaks us open becomes the doorway to the most beautiful chapter of our lives.

In this deeply practical and soul-level conversation, Theresa sits down with Jade Warshaw, co-host of The Ramsey Show, to unpack what no one tells us about money... and why finances are never just about numbers.

Jade shares how emotional wounds, shame, pride, fear, and belief systems quietly shape our financial behaviors. Instead of offering surface-level advice to “just do better,” she walks through the deeper work: identifying what’s really driving our decisions and addressing the root, not just the symptoms.

From forgiveness and freedom to resilience and long-term vision, this episode explores the connection between belief, behavior, and the emotional undercurrents that steer our lives. Jade introduces a powerful framework: if behavior is the car, belief sits in the driver’s seat — and our emotions steer the wheel.

The conversation also takes a beautiful turn into what might be on the horizon including family dinners, cooking, and the lost art of creating home — reminding us that money, time, and belonging are more connected than we think.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or like you’re drowning financially, Jade offers this reminder: it’s a season. Keep swimming. Name what you’re feeling. Call it by name. And start driving toward freedom.

In this deeply moving conversation, Theresa Bruno sits down with Jade Warshaw of Ramsey Solutions to explore what happens when faith, identity, and perseverance are tested over the long haul.

Jade shares her powerful journey from overwhelming debt and quiet despair to financial freedom—and the unseen emotional and spiritual work it took to get there. Together, they talk honestly about shame, frustration, anger, sacrifice, and the moments when the math doesn’t work and hope feels impossibly far away.

This episode goes beyond money. It’s about the grief of letting go of a dream, the courage to answer a new calling, and the resilience required to stay the course when you can’t see the ending. Jade opens up about leaving a life on stage and transitioning to co-hosting The Dave Ramsey Show. How she wrestled with identity, trusting God through uncertainty, and holding onto a vision that kept her moving forward when everything felt stalled.

Tender, raw, and deeply affirming, this conversation is for anyone who has ever felt stuck, afraid they’ve failed, or unsure how to begin again.

In this episode of The Soul Talks Podcast, Theresa Bruno sits down with Jade Warshaw for an honest conversation about money mindset, financial trauma, and the emotional stories that shape how we spend, save, and survive.

Jade shares how growing up with constant messages of scarcity—“we ain’t got no money”—impacted her sense of identity, achievement, and belonging. What begins as a discussion about personal finance quickly expands into deeper territory: shame around money, performance-based worth, perfectionism, and how unresolved beliefs follow us into adulthood and marriage.

Together, Theresa and Jade explore why money problems are rarely just about math. They unpack the emotional and behavioral patterns behind debt, including Jade’s experience navigating over $460,000 in student loan and consumer debt early in her marriage—and how facing those numbers forced a profound internal shift.

This episode offers insight into financial healing, emotional freedom, and breaking generational money patterns. It’s a powerful conversation for anyone struggling with debt, money anxiety, relationship stress, or the belief that success and security must be earned through constant performance.

In this deeply honest and unexpectedly tender conversation, Theresa Bruno sits down with Heather Land to talk about what happens when the roles that once defined us begin to fall away.

Heather opens up about navigating perimenopause, creativity droughts, shifting identity, and the quiet grief that can come when life doesn’t look the way you thought it would by midlife. With her signature humor and raw vulnerability, she shares how comedy emerged from pain, how laughter became a lifeline, and why making people feel normal has become her true calling.

The conversation also moves into deeply personal territory as Heather reflects on motherhood, her daughter Ava’s journey toward healing, the generational impact of shame, and the freedom that comes when we stop hiding our mess. Together, Theresa and Heather explore how shame isolates us, how honesty restores intimacy, and how surrendering control can open the door to unexpected purpose.

This episode is for anyone who feels tired, stuck, uncreative, or unsure of who they are becoming — and needs the reminder that nothing about where you are right now disqualifies you from the life you’re meant to live.

Heather shares the story behind her viral rise to fame, from being a worship leader and single mom navigating divorce and grief, to waking up one morning with millions of people listening. But this conversation goes far beyond comedy. Together, they explore how humor can be born from pain, why boundaries are not the opposite of forgiveness, and what it’s like to grow up as the “good kid” in a home shaped by addiction.

Heather opens up about her relationship with her parents, the long road to healing, and the courage it took to step away in order to survive—and how that decision ultimately led to redemption for her entire family. This episode is about faith that evolves, laughter that heals, and the freedom that comes from finally saying the thing out loud.

If you’ve ever felt torn between compassion and self-preservation, or wondered whether you’re allowed to protect your own heart, this conversation is for you.

In this poignant and uplifting episode of Soul Talks with Theresa Bruno, Theresa sits down with the legendary author and speaker Patsy Clairmont for a deeply personal conversation about the intersection of suffering, faith, and the unexpected medicine of humor.
Patsy opens up about her remarkable journey, from her early days struggling with agoraphobia and anxiety to the "mind-blowing" experience of speaking to arenas of 25,000 women during her 20-year tenure with Women of Faith. She shares candid reflections on the early, lean years of ministry and the "joy of responsibility" that comes with being a storyteller for God.The conversation turns to a tender place as Patsy discusses her current "grief journey" following the loss of Les, her husband of 60 years. With her trademark vulnerability and wit, she shares:

• The "Rocket" Romance: How she met her husband in a Michigan ghost town after stepping out into the street to stop his car.
• The Weight of Grief: The profound challenge of rediscovering her identity as a widow and the small, sweet moments she misses most.
• The Strategy of Thought: Her practice of "casting down" fearful imaginations and replacing them with things that are good, true, and pure.
• Laughter as Medicine: Why humor is a vital tool for healing, helping to "let off just enough grief" to allow the soul to catch its breath.

Join us for an episode that proves God meets us with the same grace in both our highest victories and our deepest valleys.

In this deeply moving episode of The Soul Talks, Theresa sits down with Patsy Clairmont, beloved author and speaker known for her wit, wisdom, and unmistakable joy — and hears the story that many people don’t know.

Long before the stages, the books, and the laughter, Patsy was a young wife and mother trapped by overwhelming anxiety and agoraphobia, unable to leave her bedroom and without language for what she was experiencing. In an era when anxiety wasn’t openly discussed, she felt isolated, ashamed, and unsure if freedom was even possible.

Patsy shares how healing didn’t begin with a dramatic breakthrough, but with one small act of obedience — “make your bed” — and how that single step became the beginning of a path toward faith, responsibility, and hope. She reflects on the people who walked alongside her, the power of Scripture spoken out loud, and how God used her brokenness to eventually bring healing to others.

This conversation is for anyone who feels trapped, overwhelmed, or discouraged — and for those who wonder if their story could ever be redeemed. Patsy’s journey is a reminder that freedom often begins quietly, one step at a time.

In this Small Talk episode, Theresa reflects from Florence on why this ancient, broken, and breathtaking city continues to call her back, especially during the holidays.

After loss, grief, and profound change, we don't reset or start over. We carry what we've lived through with us. And yet, like the centuries-old buildings of Florence: scarred, cracked, and still standing, we continue to become something new.

This short, reflective episode explores grief, resilience, motherhood, and the quiet permission to let brokenness coexist with beauty. It's about writing the story forward. Honoring what was, while making room for what comes next.

A gentle companion for anyone navigating the holidays, loss, or the courage it takes to keep going.
