    S3 | E12: Beyond Interest Rates: Smart Homebuying with Brenda Brosnan

    This episode is packed with practical advice every homeowner and future buyer needs to hear. In Season 3, Episode 12 of the ThriveWell Podcast, Jess sits down with Brenda Brosnan - a veteran loan originator with over 34 years of experience helping people navigate homeownership, lending, and financial decision-making. Together, they unpack the real conversations buyers should be having before purchasing a home, why monthly payment matters more than obsessing over interest rates, and how understanding your finances ahead of time can completely change the buying experience. Brenda also shares some of the newer mortgage and equity strategies many homeowners don’t even realize exist - including programs designed to help buyers access equity faster, make stronger offers, and transition between homes more strategically. But this episode goes far beyond mortgages. Brenda opens up about building a relationship-driven business, the importance of honesty and vulnerability in financial conversations, setting boundaries to protect your personal life, and what thriving well actually looks like after decades in a high-pressure industry. From budgeting and burnout prevention to beekeeping, gardening, and making organic skincare products - this conversation is equal parts tactical and deeply human. Whether you’re buying, selling, refinancing, or simply trying to create more financial confidence in your life, this episode delivers real perspective and actionable insight. 🎧 Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

    S3 | E8: Beyond Talk Therapy: The Future of Mental Health with Anna Marie Green

    What if healing didn’t have to take years? In Season 3, Episode 8 of the ThriveWell Podcast, Jess sits down with Anna Marie Green, licensed clinical therapist (LCSW), professional intuitive, and creator of The Intuitive Therapy Method™ - a breakthrough model redefining mental health and healing. After experiencing anxiety, PTSD, and depression following the tragic loss of her daughter’s father to suicide, Anna Marie found herself in therapy twice a week - yet not recovering. That experience led her to realize something was missing in traditional models of care. Blending psychology, nervous system work, and intuitive/energetic healing, The Intuitive Therapy Method™ helps clients get to the root cause - often in a fraction of the time. In this episode, Anna Marie explains how bypassing the ego allows therapists to address what’s truly driving symptoms, how she integrates intuition ethically and trauma-informed, and why the future of mental health lies at the intersection of science, systems, and intuition. The conversation even includes a live intuitive demonstration that connects physical symptoms to deeper emotional roots - and challenges how we think about healing altogether. If you’re curious about the next evolution of care, leadership, and personal growth - this episode will stretch you. This episode is brought to you by Brenda Brosnan with Cross Country Mortgage. 🎧 Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
