  1. "Shotgun with a Pastor: Grace, Calling, and Courage to Question" with Pastor Tina Schramme

    "Shotgun with a Pastor: Grace, Calling, and Courage to Question" with Pastor Tina Schramme

    In this episode of Curious on Life, I find myself riding shotgun in a church van, heading to a museum with my ninety-one-year-old mom and her Sunday school class and unexpectedly sharing a meaningful conversation with Tina Schramme. Rev. Tina is an ordained Elder in the United Methodist Church, a trained personal coach, and a lifelong student of human growth, holding degrees in Psychology, Human Development and Family Studies, and Divinity. Before answering the call to ministry, Tina worked closely with special-needs teens and adults, served in a mental health hospital, and led as Camp Director at Camp Grady Spruce. What unfolds in our conversation is not a traditional pastor interview. It is a gentle, honest exploration of grace, higher purpose, and the often misunderstood women of the Bible, including Mary Magdalene. We talk about breaking glass ceilings, questioning long-held religious and social narratives, and what it means to follow a calling that once felt impossible for a woman to claim. Rooted in authenticity, laughter, flexibility, family in all its forms, and what Tina lovingly calls “grace, grace, grace,” this episode is an invitation to rethink faith, leadership, and belonging and to remember that you are deeply loved exactly as you are. author Tina Referenced was Diana Butler Bass contact with Pastor Tina:  Rev.

    "Your Worthiness Was Never In Question" with Rebecca Guevara Wingler

    In this gentle solo episode of Curious on Life, Rebecca reflects on a quiet but powerful truth for women in midlife & beyond — your worthiness was never tied to your past behavior, your coping, or the seasons you survived. Through lived experience, creativity as medicine, and soft reflection, this episode invites sober-curious, sensitive women to release self-judgment and begin trusting what is ready to unfold next. Why You Should Listen: If you’ve ever felt weighed down by your past choices, your coping habits, or the ways you survived, this episode is for you. Rebecca gently reminds midlife women that worthiness was never in question — and offers a soft, embodied path to release self-judgment, reconnect with your creativity, and begin trusting what’s ready to unfold next. https://www.rebeccaguevarawingler.com

    The Big Drink Rethink with Anna Donaghey: Author of " What Are You Thirsty For?"

    What if your relationship with alcohol isn’t the real question? What if it’s pointing to something deeper? In this episode, I’m joined by Anna Donaghey, known as The Beliefs Coach, host of The Big Drink Rethink podcast and author of What Are You Thirsty For?.  Together, we explore how our beliefs — shaped by culture, habit, and expectation — quietly drive our choices around drinking, identity, and fulfillment. This conversation is for any woman standing at a crossroads — whether you’re questioning alcohol, navigating a different kind of life transition, or simply sensing that something wants to shift. No labels. No pressure. Just space to listen inward and choose with clarity. f this conversation stirred something in you, consider it an invitation — to pause, get curious, and listen more closely to what your life is asking of you now. Because here at Curious on Life, we believe clarity doesn’t come from fixing yourself — it comes from remembering what you already know.

    "Carmel Retreats - California" Rebecca sits down with founder: Barry Shimelfarb

    Barry Shimelfarb is the founder of Carmel Retreats and the devoted steward of Cuddle Doon, a storied cottage tucked along the Carmel coastline. In 2019, Barry’s life was upended. As a single father raising twin boys, he was diagnosed with advanced cancer. Multiple surgeries and radiation left him weakened, unable to swallow, and facing a grim prognosis. During his long recovery, the family’s historic Carmel cottage became more than a home—it became a sanctuary. Planting lavender, walking the shoreline, and resting beneath ancient oak trees turned into daily rituals of hope and healing. Surrounded by the love of his community and grounded by the quiet wisdom of the land, Barry not only endured—he healed. Two years later, his doctors declared him cancer-free. Moved by gratitude, Barry chose to open the doors of Cuddle Doon to others. Today, the cottage welcomes guests navigating illness, grief, burnout, or major life transitions, as well as those simply longing for rest and renewal. Known as the “Lost Cottage of Carmel,” Cuddle Doon carries a rich legacy. Built in the early 1900s by Eliza Yocum—a pioneering educator and spiritual thinker—it was once a gathering place for artists, thinkers, and seekers. Barry considers himself not the owner, but the steward of this sacred space, honoring its history while carrying its spirit forward. Through Carmel Retreats, he curates deeply personal, boutique experiences and leads initiatives like Postcards of Healing, offering gifted retreats during open calendar windows to those in need. As Barry beautifully puts it: “My purpose is simple—to help others thrive. Healing isn’t just about medicine. It’s about place, community, and feeling truly cared for.” connect with Barry: Website https://www.carmelretreats.com/ Postcards for Healing https://www.carmelretreats.com/postcards Instagram @Carmel.Retreats https://www.instagram.com/carmel.retreats/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/carmelretreats https://www.rebeccaguevarawingler.com

    "New Years Eve 2025" with Artist & Coach, Rebecca

    🌿 New Year Threshold “This isn’t about resolutions. It’s about remembering who you are. A New Year episode from Curious on Life is live. ✨” This episode is a reflection on how one small choice changed everything—and how art, presence, and love continue to guide the way. 2025 was a year of transformation, curiosity, and expansion. For me, it was travel, sacred gatherings, and watching women rediscover their power through art, reflection, and presence. Now, I’m stepping into 2026 with an open heart—and I’m inviting you to do the same. Whether through my 8-session Unfold experience in May, or gathering in Cozumel later this year, there’s space for your next chapter to unfold. “Crossing into the New Year with gratitude, curiosity, and a deep trust in what’s still to come. 🎧 Link in bio.” https://www.rebeccaguevarawingler.com/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGniBbXiA-aOcwf3sGA3taE0em6JtNrB5ldeJ1JuxmyGksAbOpE73sdOKBPugE_aem__gswyxDtjU76xCJ_MXiFHg https://www.rebeccaguevarawingler.com

    "YES, I Am Too Much" with Thought Leader & Author, Allison Guilbault

    In this powerful episode, Rebecca sits down with Allison, who opens up about her own life-changing transformation during a Bali retreat for sober-curious women. Together, they explore what it truly means to reclaim your voice, your power, and your truth—without apology. At the heart of this conversation is the “Yes, I Am Too Much” revolution, where Allison boldly reminds us: “This is your sacred space to stop asking for permission and start owning your power.” Written and lived by a therapist and global thought leader who has spent her career helping women reclaim their fire, this episode is not fluff—it’s deep, raw, truth-soaked liberation. They discuss expansion over shrinking, choosing clarity over numbing, and building a life that feels aligned, embodied, and alive. Here, we don’t shrink—we expand. We speak the truth. We take up space. We claim what we crave and build lives that make our bones buzz. connect with Allison here: https://www.yesiamtoomuch.com/vip https://www.rebeccaguevarawingler.com

    "Spirit Led Sobriety" Rebecca sits down with Paulette Kengg

    In this episode of Curious on Life, Rebecca sits down with Paulette to explore her courageous journey into alcohol-free living and the powerful story behind her book Spirit-Led Sobriety.  Paulette, a woman in her mid-60s—self describes herself as a Christian wife, mom, and grandmother.  She opens up about the moment that shook her: realizing she could no longer easily cut back or quit drinking after years of seeing herself as a “normal, take-it-or-leave-it” drinker.  What began as fear became an awakening, and she now shares the spiritual, emotional, and deeply personal path that led her toward freedom, clarity, and a life guided by faith rather than the familiar pull of alcohol. connect with Paulette here:https://www.spiritledsobriety.com/ https://www.rebeccaguevarawingler.com
