    The “Perfect Marriage” Myth | Ep 125

    If you’ve ever looked at someone’s marriage and thought, “Well… they probably just have it easy,” this episode is for you. 😉 Because after 40 years together, we can confidently say: there have been beautiful seasons… hard seasons… stressful seasons… funny seasons… stretching seasons… and seasons where we absolutely needed rest, grace, laughter, and God to hold us together! No joke. This isn’t an episode about having a perfect marriage. It’s a conversation about what has helped us KEEP choosing each other through plenty of real life lifey-ness. While celebrating our 40th anniversary in Turks & Caicos, we found ourselves reflecting on the little things that have sustained us all these years, things like spiritual connection, gratitude, humor, personal space, shared purpose, protecting peace, and learning how to see God in both the ordinary AND extraordinary moments of life. We also talk about the incredible hospitality we experienced during our trip and why we started calling it our “God bubble.” From thoughtful tiny details to overwhelming kindness, the experience reminded us how deeply human beings need delight, beauty, care, rest, and wonder. In this episode we talk about: 💙 What has actually sustained our marriage 💙 Why joy and playfulness matter spiritually 💙 The “ministry of delight” 💙 Traditional biblical roles in marriage 💙 Protecting peace instead of winning arguments 💙 Why gratitude keeps your heart soft 💙 How we stay spiritually connected after 40 years 💙 The surprising magic of separate bedrooms 😂 💙 And why sometimes God speaks through sunsets, tiny cookies by your bedside, and unexpected kindness from strangers that became friends ✨ RESOURCES & THINGS REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE: 📖 Theo of Golden by Allen Levi: https://amzn.to/4tXa39V (Terry’s favorite vacation read/listen) ☀️ Crunchi Sunlight SPF: 15% off for new clients using code ADVOCATE15 - crunchi.com/?als=lisamccoskey&cartToken=hWNCfUVoAzMr2YxoLtCVNI7G?key=40eb3f2211845bc0f56a8889c92f4c2e (+ Lisa’s thoughts on intentional sunshine and strategic protection) 🌴 Wymara Resort + Villas, in Turks & Caicos: https://www.wymara.com (The beautiful resort experience that inspired our “God bubble” conversation!

    What Your Roof Can Teach You About Your Health | Ep.119

    What started as a few missing shingles turned into something much bigger… and honestly? Way more meaningful. In this show, Lisa and Dr. Terry take you behind the scenes of a real-life home restoration—new roof, skylights, gutters, the whole deal—and connect it to something we all care about: our health. Because here’s the thing… Just like a house can look perfectly fine on the outside while hiding damage underneath, our bodies can do the exact same thing. They dive into:  - Why symptoms often show up far from the actual problem  - How “rot” in your health can go unnoticed until someone really looks  - The truth about germs (hint: they’re more like flies than villains)  - Why your internal environment matters more than you think  - And how real restoration, whether it’s your home or your body, can get a little messy before it gets beautiful You’ll also hear a powerful reminder that health isn’t about random quick fixes… it’s about having a plan, addressing the foundation, and creating an environment where your body can actually thrive. And just when you think they’re done… they bring it full circle with something we all experience: once things start improving, you naturally want to level up even more. This one is equal parts practical, eye-opening, and so relatable. If you’ve ever wondered why you don’t feel like yourself, even when everything “looks fine”, this episode is for you. Let them know about one of your favorite home or body restorations in the comments! They love to hear from you!!

    The Wellness Industry Isn’t Making You Well, AND It Might Be Making You Broke | Ep 118

    In today's  Living Well Together show, we’re pulling back the curtain on something no one is talking about enough… The overwhelm of “trying to be healthy.” From supplements… to gadgets… to fitness trends… to constant tracking (hello, Oura Ring 👀)… it feels like we’re being sold a new solution every single day. But here’s the truth: 👉 You don’t have a product problem. 👉 You have a pattern problem. And more importantly… your body doesn’t need more input. It needs a better rhythm. In this conversation, we unpack: • Why the wellness industry is NOT designed to simplify your life • How over-measuring (and over-optimizing) can actually increase stress • The surprising downside of tracking everything • Why more supplements ≠ better health • The “hidden stress” of trying to do everything right • Simple, foundational habits that actually move the needle Plus, we bring it back to what really matters: ✨ Better minerals ✨ Better rhythms ✨ Better digestion ✨ Better nervous system support If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like you’re doing “all the things” without real results… this episode is your permission slip to pause, simplify, and come back to what actually works.
