    Episode Revisited: 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. Grab a journal for this one.  Suggested Resources: Stephanie May Wilson Website | Instagram Create a Life You LoveLove Your Single LifeThe Ruthless Elimination of HurryDiscerning the Voice of GodSend me a text!

    Episode Revisted: How to Stop Ruminating About the Past & Find Peace in Your Present | Kristie Gaultiere, Psy.DKristi Gauthiere

    Every so often, my inner peace can turn to turmoil, especially when faced with competing demands on my time, relationship struggles, and concerns about a loved one. It also doesn’t help that so much is happening in the world around us—it is easy to feel overwhelmed. That is why I’m so grateful to speak with Kristi Gaultiere today. Kristi is a psychotherapist (Psy.D.; LPC4 and MFT29887 in CA) and a director for women in ministry and pastors’ wives. She co-leads "Soul Shepherding with Bill." Jane Willard and Dr. Jan Stoop personally mentored her. In this episode, Kristi and I discuss tactical strategies to calm the mind and still the soul and how to surrender our need for control. We can trust in God’s sovereignty to help us have a healthy relationship with our emotions.

    112: How to Choose a Truly High-Quality Olive Oil | Dino Pierrakos

    Most of us have a bottle of olive oil in the pantry and almost no idea whether it's actually good. Today I'm sitting down with Dino Pierrakos of Laconiko, a fourth-generation olive oil producer from Sparta, Greece, to talk about what separates a real extra virgin olive oil from the stuff sitting on most grocery store shelves. We get into why harvest timing matters more than the expiration date on the label, what "monocultivar" actually means and why it's worth looking for, and the difference between polyphenols and oleocanthal, the compound getting real attention from researchers for its anti-inflammatory potential. Dino also walks through one of the most persistent myths in the wellness space: that cooking with olive oil destroys its benefits. The research tells a more nuanced story, and we break down what actually happens to olive oil at high heat. If you've ever stood in the olive oil aisle wondering what you're supposed to be looking for, this episode will change how you shop for good.

    Episode Revisited: That's Just Not True: How to Replace the Lies You Didn't Know You Believed | Erica Gwynn

    What happens when what you feel doesn’t line up with what’s true? In this episode, I sit down with Erica Gwynn — author of That’s Just Not True: How to Replace the Lies You Didn’t Know You Believed with God’s Unchanging Truth — for an honest conversation on discerning truth in a world full of “half-truths.” We talk about how feelings aren’t facts, finding peace in God’s sovereignty through suffering, and why trusting Him often means surrendering control of the story we thought we’d live. Erica shares her journey of motherhood, faith, and healing after her daughter’s premature birth — and how God used a painful season to reveal His purpose. We also dive into the lie of manifestation, the tension between free will and divine direction, and what it means to live with intentional rhythms instead of constant hustle. If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, control, or wondering whether you “missed your shot,” this conversation will remind you that God’s plan is never late, never wasted, and always good.

    Episode Revisited: How to Build a Non-Anxious Life | Dr. John Delony, PhD

    What if I told you that anxiety is just an alarm system? My guest today, Dr. John Delony, refers to anxiety as our body's internal notification system — a signal that your brain has detected danger, that you're running on empty and need rest, or that you're disconnected from the people around you. Dr. Delony holds two PhDs and has spent over two decades in counseling, crisis response, and higher education. He's a national best-selling author, mental health expert, and host of The Dr. John Delony Show, where he helps people find freedom from the patterns keeping them stuck. In this episode, we talk about how to build a life that doesn't run on constant overwhelm, how to loosen perfectionism's grip without losing your drive, and a few practical ways to stay connected when isolation creeps in.

    If you’ve ever struggled with fear, doubt, insecurity, or impostor syndrome, this episode is for you. Join me as I sit down with one of my new favorite people, Mary Marantz, whose story will inspire you to rise above and pursue your dreams.  Having grown up in a single-wide trailer in West Virginia and being the first in her family to graduate college before attending Yale Law School, Mary Marantz knows what it’s like to be underestimated. She understands the drive to prove others wrong and show everyone just how far you've come, while also doubting yourself at every turn.  This conversation will help you realize that you can do that new hard thing you’ve been wanting to do—because guess what? You can. I’m so thankful for Mary and her work.  Suggested Resources: Mary Marantz Website | InstagramThe Mary Marantz ShowMary's first book - DirtUnderestimated What's your achiever type quizSend me a text!
