    Episode 20 - The Diagnosis That Changed Everything: My Hashimoto’s Story (Part One)

    If you have ever felt exhausted, “off,” or like something just isn’t right in your body, but you didn’t know what it was, this episode is for you. In this heartfelt conversation, I share the first part of my Hashimoto’s journey: the years leading up to my diagnosis, the quiet signs I ignored, and the moment everything shifted. I open up about the patterns I carried for decades, over-giving, people-pleasing, pushing through exhaustion and how they showed up in my body long before I had a name for it. I also break down, in plain language, what hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s are, how they affect your energy, mood, and overall health, and why so many women go undiagnosed for years. This episode is about listening to your body, honoring your needs, and recognizing when it’s time to slow down. By listening, you will gain: ✨ Insight into the early signs of thyroid dysfunction and Hashimoto’s ✨ Understanding of how our habits, stress, and lifestyle impact autoimmune health ✨ Reflection questions to help you tune into what your body has been asking for ✨ A sense of connection and reassurance—you’re not alone I invite you to join me, sit for a moment, and explore your own body’s whispers alongside me. Together, we can step into awareness, self-care, and a deeper understanding of what it truly means to prioritize our wellbeing. Next week, I will share Part Two: my journey to feeling better and reclaiming my energy, and the practices that are helping me take control of my Hashimoto’s.

    Episode 19 - A Mother's Journey - Walking Through Childhood Cancer With Pamela Saulters

    This week on Rooted in the River, I sit down with my dear friend, Pamela Saulters, a mother whose story will touch your heart in ways you won’t forget. Imagine watching a growth on your child's neck get bigger and bigger and then learning your child has cancer. At just three years old, Pamela’s daughter was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma that required surgery, chemotherapy, and intense radiation. What followed was a journey no parent imagines they will ever walk: years of treatment, fear, courage, and an unbreakable bond between a mother and her child. Today, eleven years later, her daughter is fifteen and cancer-free. Pam opens her heart and shares what those years were like, the moments that broke her open, the miracles they witnessed, and the ways she kept showing up with strength she didn’t know she had. This conversation is for anyone who has been touched by childhood cancer, whether as a parent, family member, friend, colleague, or loving witness. Pam shares her journey to remind others you are not along, offers wisdom on what to say, what not to say, and how we can truly support those walking through what feels unimaginable. Grab a Kleenex, find a quiet moment, and join us for this tender, powerful conversation. Sending so much love to Pam, her daughter, and every family navigating a childhood cancer journey.❤️

  4. Episode 18 - Trusting Myself Again: A Story of Midlife Courage & Solo Adventure

    Episode 18 - Trusting Myself Again: A Story of Midlife Courage & Solo Adventure

    In this deeply personal solo episode, I take you with me on a journey across parts of Europe, a journey that became far more than a vacation. From walking alone through Paris in a torrential downpour, to standing barefoot beside a turquoise lake in the Swiss Alps, to reconnecting with my brother in Munich after four long years… this trip became a doorway back to myself. At 48, I found myself in a quiet chapter, my daughter grown, the house calmer, the pace slowing , and with that quiet came the honest question so many women face in midlife: Who am I now, and what do I want? This episode is the story of what happened when I listened to that question and said yes to my first solo adventure. It’s a story about courage, curiosity, unexpected emotions, and the life-changing moments that arrive when we stop rushing, stop performing, and start trusting ourselves again. If you are a woman in transition, craving space, longing to reconnect with yourself, or wondering if you’re allowed to want more, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. Come walk with me through Freiburg, Luzern, the Swiss Alps, Munich, and Paris… and discover what happens when a woman gives herself permission to wander, expand, and come home changed.

    Episode 16 - The Power of Women Gathering: What Happens When We Remember We are Not Alone

    Something magical happens when women come together. When we step out of the noise, slow down, and allow ourselves to be seen, not for what we do, but for who we are. In this heartfelt episode of Rooted in the River, I am sharing reflections from my Evenings by the River series... three beautiful gatherings where women came together under the stars to reflect, release, and reimagine their paths forward. Without sharing the sacred details of what was spoken, I open up about what I witnessed: ✨ The healing power of community ✨ The courage that unfolds in safe, woman-centered spaces ✨ The transformation that happens when we realize we are not alone You’ll also learn more about the “alone pattern”, a common experience among women who have learned to do it all, often at the expense of their own well-being, and how gathering with others can begin to shift that story. Whether you have been feeling isolated, overextended, or yearning for connection, this episode will remind you of something ancient and true: We are meant to gather. We are meant to be seen. We are meant to rise together. So come join me by the river and let’s remember what’s possible when women come home to themselves, and to each other.

    Episode 15 - Grief, Joy and the Courage to Choose Yourself with Emily Budac

    In this deeply moving episode, Emily Budac opens her heart to share the story of losing her husband, Vince, suddenly in 2023, and the powerful journey that followed. With two young children and a family business to carry forward, Emily found herself navigating immense grief while slowly rediscovering who she is beneath it all. But this is not only a story about loss. It is about the courage to choose yourself again, to let joy and sorrow coexist, and to honor the quiet moments of becoming. Emily’s adventurous spirit, her deep gratitude, and her willingness to speak truthfully about grief and healing invite us all to reflect on our own lives, where we may be called to slow down, to listen inward, and to make small choices that honor our authentic selves. Whether you have experienced loss, change, or a season of deep transformation, this episode will remind you that healing is not about returning to who you were, it’s about growing into who you are meant to become.
