    Joyful Tenacity with Nancy J. Martin

    "In my memoir, I talk about planning my suicide, and I had it all planned out, and then things came up, and I did not do that. And so now people tell me, I'm very tenacious, and I try to do it in a joyful manner." —Nancy J. Martin There are moments in life that test everything—your body, your spirit, your will to keep going. And in those moments, what carries you forward isn't perfection or certainty, but something steadier: a quiet, determined kind of joy. In this powerful episode, Dr. Kimberly Hubenette sits down with author Nancy J. Martin, who shares her extraordinary journey through a life-altering diagnosis, facial paralysis, abandonment, and the long road of rebuilding a life rooted in resilience, creativity, and connection. Her story doesn't shy away from the hard parts, but it shines a light on what it means to keep choosing life, even when it feels unbearable. From her darkest thoughts to embracing what she calls "joyful tenacity," Nancy opens up about living with visible difference, finding strength through expression, and creating a life filled with meaning, art, and human connection.

    "We have to know where the child is, and in order to do that, we have to first know where we are. We need to make sure that we're taken care of so that we can be there for our child. We need to validate ourselves, we need to give ourselves grace, we need to give ourselves slack." —Devora Segall Grief sits in the same room as parenting, yet most conversations stay silent about how loss reshapes home life, discipline, and connection with kids.

    From Stuck in Grief to Fully Alive: Make The Choice to Heal and Thrive with Dr. Monica Parham

    "It's a choice too. You have to choose to be positive. You have to choose to allow yourself to move forward and understand that this is the only life that we get, and we need to help others." —Dr. Monica Parham Some days it feels like life shatters overnight, and the world expects us back at work by Monday. In this raw conversation, we go inside life after loss when the person who felt like home is suddenly gone, and the only options are staying stuck in the closet or choosing a new way forward. This is grief, faith, and reinvention told from inside the storm, not from a distance. Dr. Monica Parham shares how a small-town girl became a dentist, survived divorce, found the love of her life, and then lost him during the pandemic. Her journey through deep heartbreak, prayer, and radical self-reinvention now shapes how she works, parents, dates, and lives with a new sense of courage.
