    109: Creatine: The Most Misunderstood Supplement in the Wellness Space | Dr. Dan Pardi, PhD

    Creatine used to be something people mainly associated with athletes or bodybuilders—but lately it’s been having a major moment in the wellness space. And it turns out the benefits may go far beyond muscle. In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Dan Pardi, PhD to explore what creatine actually is, how it works in the body, and why researchers are now studying its role in brain health, energy production, and cognitive performance. Dr. Pardi is the Chief Health Officer at Qualia Life Sciences, where he leads education around healthspan and human performance. He holds a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from Leiden University and Stanford, and has advised elite military units, Fortune 500 companies, and startups through his consultancy, Vivendi Health. If you’ve been hearing about creatine everywhere lately and wondering whether it’s worth adding to your routine, this episode will give you the science and context to understand why it’s getting so much attention.

    108: What to Eat, When to Eat, & How to Eat It (Without Spending Hours in the Kitchen) | Jazz Leaf

    If you’ve ever hit 6 p.m. and thought, what am I even making for dinner?—or saved a “healthy” recipe that looked amazing… then skipped it because it had 27 ingredients - this episode is for you. Today I’m joined by recipe developer and content creator Jazz Leaf (who I jokingly call the Air Fryer Queen). She’s known for 30-minute meals with 10 ingredients or less, and her approach is simple, protein-forward, and genuinely doable in real life- especially if you want to feel better without cooking becoming a second job. In this conversation, we break down what a protein-forward day of eating can actually look like, how to simplify meal prep without overhauling your whole routine, and what to look for when choosing protein powders (including how to spot common hidden sugars). We also talk gluten and dairy, why bio-individuality matters, and practical ways to build balanced meals that support steady energy and stable blood sugar. If you want meals that support your body and your life, this episode will show you what that can look like - without the overwhelm.

    Episode Revisited: How Understanding Your Personality Type Can Lead to Deeper Relationships | Meredith Boggs

    Today we’re talking about how understanding your personality type can help you grow in your relationships. If you’re not familiar with this assessment, it’s a tool designed to help you better understand your core motivations, emotions, and patterns at a deeper level. It also equips you to connect more intentionally with the people you love — whether that’s friends, family, coworkers, or your spouse. That’s why I’m so excited to welcome my new friend Meredith Boggs to the show today. Meredith is an expert on this framework and the author of The Journey Home: A Biblical Guide to Using the Enneagram to Deepen Your Faith and Relationships. In this episode, Meredith walks through each personality type, including their core emotions, stress and security patterns, and primary defense mechanisms. She also clarifies what this framework is — and what it’s not — and shares how it can be a powerful tool for emotional health, empathy, and discipleship.

    107: How to Create a Life You Love & Stop Overthinking Every Big Decision | Stephanie May Wilson

    In today’s episode, I’m excited to welcome back my wonderful friend Stephanie May Wilson to talk about her new book, Create a Life You Love—and this conversation couldn’t have come at a better time. We unpack why “one right answer” is often a myth and how to make big decisions without feeling like you’re about to ruin your life. Stephanie shares how to tell the difference between a closed door and normal fear, how to build a wise “cabinet” (because not everyone gets a vote on your life), and why confidence is really about trusting yourself to pivot when things don’t go as planned. We also talk about navigating big transitions—marriage, motherhood, moving to Spain—and what it looks like to stop living in the future and fully invest in the season you’re in, even without perfect clarity. If you’re at a crossroads or afraid of getting it wrong, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.

    Episode Revisited: How to Stop Rehearsing Worst-Case Scenarios & Start Choosing Joy | Nicole Zasowski

    I’m so excited to throw it back to one of my favorite and most encouraging episodes with my friend Nicole Zasowski — a Marriage & Family Therapist and the author of What If It’s Wonderful?, From Lost to Found, and Daring Joy. In this conversation, we talk about why joy can feel so vulnerable, why our minds often jump to worst-case scenarios, and how to find the courage to fully receive the good in our lives instead of bracing for what might go wrong. So many of us feel safer preparing for disappointment than letting ourselves experience joy — but that habit quietly steals the very moments we’re longing for. Nicole shares powerful insights and practical tools to help us shift our perspective, calm our thoughts, and truly celebrate both the small and big moments that make life meaningful.

    106: The Power of a Woman's Words | Sharon Jaynes

    Have you ever noticed how much the words you hear — and the ones you repeat to yourself — shape the way you live? In this episode, I’m sitting down with Sharon Jaynes, author of The Power of a Woman’s Words. We talk about what it really means to take your thoughts captive, how to recognize the lies you’ve been carrying, and how to gently replace them with truth that brings peace instead of pressure. Sharon also shares how one voice of encouragement changed the direction of her life, and offers simple, faith-rooted ways to start speaking to yourself with more clarity, kindness, and intention. If you’ve been stuck in negative thought patterns, this conversation will feel like a deep breath.

    105: You Matter More Than You Think | Jim Mann

    Today’s episode is a little different. There’s no outline, no clear agenda — just a conversation where my friend Jim Mann and I are shooting from the hip. He has quite the background: longtime (low-key famous) radio host, cancer survivor, and one of the funniest people I know. Jim is the reason I moved to Greenville. He’s the reason I learned how to edit a podcast. And he’s been part of my life through some really formative seasons — even before this show existed. I call him my Greenville dad. In this conversation, we talk about everything from his early days in music to his decades in radio, to the moment he was diagnosed with aggressive melanoma — and how those experiences changed the way he sees life, faith, and even his own worth. Get ready to laugh, and let’s get into my conversation with Jim. Suggested Resources: Jim Mann - jim@healingstrong.comSpill the Beans, Greenville SCHealingStrongSend me a text!

    104: Why Rhythms Beat Routines | Asheritah Ciuciu

    Have you ever felt burned out in your faith—or like your relationship with God feels a little flat? In this episode, I sit down with my new friend, author and speaker Asherita Ciuciu, to talk about burnout, joy, and why spiritual rhythms matter more than rigid routines. We discuss the story behind her book Delighting in Jesus, how to reconnect with God when your faith feels dry, how to discern whether a thought is from God or not, and simple practices for releasing anxiety and mental overload. If you’re craving a more grounded, sustainable way to walk with God—especially in a season where faith feels routine or uninspired—this conversation is for you.
