This week on Women Around the Well, Jenna sits down with Kelly Collins Linz—a woman whose life beautifully embodies courage, creativity, and calling. With over 30 years in the entertainment industry, Kelly has worn many hats: actress, wife, mother of four, and now screenwriter—adding storyteller to her list of faith-fueled achievements.

In this heartfelt conversation, Kelly opens up about what it means to redefine what’s possible—for herself and for others—by creating with purpose and stepping out in faith. As a Christian woman in Hollywood, she shares honestly about how she’s navigated the highs and heartaches of the industry while raising four children who followed in her creative footsteps. Together, they explore what it looks like to walk with your kids through the spotlight without losing sight of your Savior.

Kelly also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at her newest project, Able: The Movie—the inspiring true story of Kayla Kosmalski, a young woman with Down Syndrome who is breaking glass ceilings and showing the world that we are all more than able when we let God write the script.

✨ This episode is a powerful reminder that faith and creativity were never meant to compete—they were meant to collide.

What happens when science meets surrender… and faith meets functional medicine?

In this hope-soaked conversation, Lisa Tarantino, a Radical Remission Cancer Coach and Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor, sits down with us to talk about what it means to heal from the inside out—spirit, soul, and cell.

Lisa shares the radical remission principles that changed her life, the power of nutrition in supporting the body’s God-designed ability to heal, and how faith plays a central role in lasting wellness.

Ever feel like you’re giving all your energy to the wrong things? Like you’re stuck replaying lies in your head that choke out your joy, peace, and confidence? In this episode of Women Around the Well, we’re digging into the weeds—literally. The weeds in our minds, marriages, motherhood, and ministries.

I share from my own journey how easy it is to water the weeds instead of the flowers God planted. But friend, you don’t have to keep nurturing what was never meant to grow in your life.

We’ll talk about how to recognize those weeds for what they really are: lies, shame, comparison, fear. And then how to pull them up, replace them with truth, and finally start flourishing. 🌱✨

1. Pay attention to your self-talk.
   If your inner voice sounds more like a bully than the Holy Spirit, that’s a weed. God’s Word never shames—it convicts and calls you higher.

2. Notice what drains your peace.
   Weeds steal nutrients in the natural, and they do the same spiritually. If something leaves you anxious, resentful, or small—it’s time to uproot it.

3. Replace lies with Scripture.
   Don’t just pull the weed—plant something new. If the lie says, “You’re not enough,” the truth is, “You are fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14).

This episode is your invitation to stop watering what was meant to die and start cultivating the truth that sets you free.

Ever had someone ask if you’re pregnant when really you’re just… bloated, uncomfortable, and praying your digestive system would please cooperate? Girl, you are not alone.

In this episode, I get real about the awkward, frustrating, and sometimes hilarious side of gut health—specifically constipation and bloating. We’ll talk about why your gut might be holding you hostage, what signs to pay attention to, and how small changes can make a big difference.

If you’ve ever felt stuck (literally) and wondered if it’s just “normal” to live this way—it’s not. Your gut is sending you signals, and it’s time to listen.

✨ What you’ll hear in this episode:

• The truth about why your gut may be “backed up”

• Everyday habits that sabotage healthy digestion

• Signs your gut health needs some love and attention

• Encouragement (and a little humor) so you know you’re not alone in this

Because life is too short to feel bloated, tired, and blah—let’s get your gut moving in the right direction.

We’ve all heard of love languages—but what if they’re more than just cute quizzes and date night ideas? What if understanding them could actually change the way you parent, the way you love your husband, the way you lead in ministry, and even how you show up in your business?

In this episode, we dive into the five love languages:

• Words of Affirmation

• Acts of Service

• Receiving Gifts

• Quality Time

• Physical Touch

I’ll share how learning to recognize and speak these languages has shaped my own relationships—helping me raise my babies with intention, support my husband in the ways he needs most, and even connect better with women I lead and serve in ministry and business.

Because here’s the truth: when we know how someone best receives love, we can build bridges instead of walls. We can bring peace into our homes, unity into our marriages, and compassion into our communities.

Whether you’re wiping little faces, serving alongside your spouse, or building a team in the marketplace, love languages can become one of your greatest tools for building connection, joy, and impact.

Pull up a chair at the well—this one is all about speaking the language of love in every season of life. 💕

When our son Caden was diagnosed with scoliosis, my mama heart sank. I didn’t know what questions to ask, I didn’t know what the road ahead would look like, and honestly—I didn’t even know what signs I should have been paying attention to. I quickly learned I wasn’t alone. So many parents don’t realize what scoliosis looks like until a doctor points it out.

In this episode, I’m sharing Caden’s story—the appointments, the emotions, the prayers—and how God has met us as a family in the middle of the unknown. My hope is that by sharing our journey, another mama might feel more prepared, more aware, and less alone.

Here are some simple signs to watch for in your own kids:

• One shoulder higher than the other

• Uneven hips or one pant leg looking longer

• Ribs that stick out more on one side when bending forward

• Shirts or dresses that hang unevenly, even when they fit correctly

This isn’t to spark fear—it’s to give you tools. Mama, you know your child better than anyone. If something feels “off,” trust that nudge. Awareness can make all the difference, and early intervention matters.

Caden’s story is one of resilience, faith, and God’s steady hand guiding us through. If your child ever faces a diagnosis, I pray this episode reminds you that you are never walking it alone—God is with you, and He will give you the strength for each step.

Homeschooling. Just saying the word makes some people break out in hives, while others start Pinterest boards full of chalkboard walls and color-coded lesson plans. But here’s the truth: it doesn’t have to look like a schoolroom in your dining room or a 1950s Little House on the Prairie reenactment.

In this episode of Women Around the Well, I’m pulling back the curtain on what homeschooling has really looked like for our family—spoiler alert: it’s equal parts chaos, calling, and coffee.

Whether you’re a mom who said, “This sounds crazy, but God…” or someone just curious about what happens when faith and education collide in the living room, this conversation is for you.

We’ll talk about the fears, the freedoms, and the faith required to step into homeschooling, why “socialization” isn’t the dirty word people make it out to be, and how God can take the very thing that feels impossible and turn it into the biggest blessing for your family.

So grab your coffee, your planner, and maybe a snack for the kids (because you know they’ll come ask the second you sit down)—let’s get real about the highs, lows, and holy surprises of the homeschool journey.

Have you ever looked at your week and thought, “How in the world did I say yes to all this?” Yep… same. Too often we hand out our “yes” like it’s free samples at Costco — without realizing it’s costing us our peace, our priorities, and sometimes our purpose.

In this episode of Women Around the Well, I’m sharing how learning to give my best yes (and not just every yes) has changed the way I show up for the people I love most. This isn’t about saying “no” to everything — it’s about saying “yes” to the things that actually bless others, line up with your values, and leave you with margin instead of mayhem.

You’ll hear:
✨ A personal story of duct tape, prayer, and realizing not every good thing is my thing.
✨ How one small yes opened a big door to blessing in my family.
✨ Why boundaries aren’t selfish — they’re sacred.
✨ Practical ways to share what you love with the people you love without burning out.

As Lysa TerKeurst reminds us in The Best Yes: “Saying yes all the time won’t make me Wonder Woman. It will make me a worn-out woman.” Amen and amen.

If you’ve been running on empty, this episode will give you the encouragement (and maybe a little sass) to quit handing out your yes like free samples — and start saving it for the places where it matters most.

Have you ever felt like failure was the end of the story? Maybe you’ve tried something big, and instead of the victory you pictured, you walked away with a bruised ego, a mess to clean up, or more questions than answers.

In this episode of Women Around the Well, we’re talking about how to fail forward—and why failure doesn’t make you a failure. Inspired by John Maxwell’s classic book Failing Forward, grab the book here https://a.co/d/6jpSdWj

Maxwell writes, “The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to failure.” That’s the heartbeat of today’s conversation: how to reframe failure, learn from it, and keep moving with courage and faith.

• Why failure is never final unless you quit.

• How to recognize the lessons hidden in your setbacks.

• Practical tips for shifting from “I failed” to “I learned.”

• The role of resilience, faith, and community in failing forward.

• A reminder that God often uses failure as the training ground for our calling.

Maxwell also reminds us, “The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.” If you’ve been holding back, afraid to miss the mark, this episode will remind you that forward progress always requires risk—and that you are not defined by your stumbles, but by your decision to rise again.

Failure is an event, not an identity. It can refine you, but it doesn’t define you.

Ever feel like you’re juggling all the things, all the time—and still dropping the ball? 🙋‍♀️

In this episode of Women Around the Well, we’re debunking the multitasking myth and diving into the peace-producing power of monotasking—doing one thing at a time with holy intention.

We’ll talk about:

• Why multitasking is quietly wrecking your peace (and your productivity)

• The neuroscience behind focus and how your brain actually works best

• What Scripture teaches us about slowing down and being fully present

• Practical ways to retrain your brain and reclaim your attention

• And how choosing holy focus is an act of worship, not weakness

Whether you're feeling frazzled, distracted, or just done, this episode is your permission slip to stop the chaos and step into God-centered clarity.

Because friend—you can do all things, just not all at once.

✨ Key Takeaways:

• Only 2% of people can actually multitask effectively—chances are, you’re not one of them (and that’s a goodthing!)

• Your RAS (Reticular Activating System) filters the world based on what you repeatedly focus on

• God didn’t ask you to do everything—just to be faithful with the next right thing

• Monotasking increases peace, clarity, quality of work, and mental wellness

• Presence isn’t lazy—it’s holy

1. The 25-Minute Focus Rule (Pomodoro Method):
   Set a timer and focus on just one task for 25 minutes. Then take a 5-minute break.

2. Eliminate Noise:
   Turn off notifications, close extra browser tabs, and put your phone in another room if you need to.

3. Use a “Focus First” List:
   Start your day by writing down the one thing that matters most. Prioritize it before the rest.

4. Speak It Out Loud:
   Tell yourself what you're focusing on right now. “I’m working on writing this report. That’s it.”

5. Start With Prayer, Not Pressure:
   Invite God into your focus. Ask, “Lord, what do You want me to give my attention to today?”
