    Lindsay Lawler: The Courage to Tell Your Story

    In this heartfelt conversation, Theresa sits down with songwriter, radio host, and creative storyteller Lindsay Lawler to talk about the healing power of writing—and the courage it takes to tell the truth about our lives. Lindsay shares how journaling and songwriting have helped her process painful experiences, uncover hidden strength, and even hear wisdom from a “future version” of herself. What began as private writing eventually became songs, conversations, and a calling to help others find healing through their own words. Together, Theresa and Lindsay explore: • Why writing helps us move emotions we’ve been carrying • The role of shame—and why speaking the truth breaks its power • What it means when the dream you had at 20 doesn’t unfold the way you expected • How dreams don’t always die… they shift • The peace that comes when you finally focus on what you’re truly called to do Lindsay also shares the heart behind her project “We Should Write,” a movement encouraging people to write not for perfection or publication—but for healing. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your story, this conversation will remind you that sometimes the most powerful step forward is simply putting the words on the page.

    Lindsay Lawler: When We Share Our Pain

    What do you do when the life you imagined quietly falls apart? In this deeply honest conversation, Lindsay Lawler shares the story behind the stage lights — the years of infertility, the devastating phone call that changed everything, the loneliness she carried in silence, and the trauma that cracked her world wide open. At 37, Lindsay was told she had “the eggs of a 54-year-old.” What followed were fertility treatments, failed attempts, two adoptions that fell through, and a season of grief that tested her marriage, her faith, and her sense of identity. At the same time, she was navigating profound personal trauma and a spiritual awakening that shifted everything. But this story does not end in despair.It ends in surrender. It ends in healing. It ends in adoption. It ends with a daughter.Together, Theresa and Lindsay talk about:Infertility and the quiet shame women carryThe strain infertility can place on a marriageTrauma, secrecy, and what happens when we finally “say the thing”Spiritual awakening in the middle of heartbreakWhy adoption shouldn’t be considered a last resortLearning to metabolize pain instead of being consumed by itThis episode is for the woman who is waiting. For the one crying on the kitchen floor. For the one carrying something alone. When we share our pain, it lessens its power. And sometimes the very thing that breaks us open becomes the doorway to the most beautiful chapter of our lives.

    Jade Warshaw: Money, Shame, & the Path to Freedom

    In this deeply practical and soul-level conversation, Theresa sits down with Jade Warshaw, co-host of The Ramsey Show, to unpack what no one tells us about money... and why finances are never just about numbers. Jade shares how emotional wounds, shame, pride, fear, and belief systems quietly shape our financial behaviors. Instead of offering surface-level advice to “just do better,” she walks through the deeper work: identifying what’s really driving our decisions and addressing the root, not just the symptoms. From forgiveness and freedom to resilience and long-term vision, this episode explores the connection between belief, behavior, and the emotional undercurrents that steer our lives. Jade introduces a powerful framework: if behavior is the car, belief sits in the driver’s seat — and our emotions steer the wheel. The conversation also takes a beautiful turn into what might be on the horizon including family dinners, cooking, and the lost art of creating home — reminding us that money, time, and belonging are more connected than we think. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or like you’re drowning financially, Jade offers this reminder: it’s a season. Keep swimming. Name what you’re feeling. Call it by name. And start driving toward freedom.  🛎️ Subscribe for more soulful conversations.

Together, they talk honestly about shame, frustration, anger, sacrifice, and the moments when the math doesn’t work and hope feels impossibly far away. This episode goes beyond money. It’s about the grief of letting go of a dream, the courage to answer a new calling, and the resilience required to stay the course when you can’t see the ending. Jade opens up about leaving a life on stage and transitioning to co-hosting The Dave Ramsey Show. How she wrestled with identity, trusting God through uncertainty, and holding onto a vision that kept her moving forward when everything felt stalled.

    Jade Warshaw: From Scarcity to Freedom

    In this episode of The Soul Talks Podcast, Theresa Bruno sits down with Jade Warshaw for an honest conversation about money mindset, financial trauma, and the emotional stories that shape how we spend, save, and survive. Jade shares how growing up with constant messages of scarcity—“we ain’t got no money”—impacted her sense of identity, achievement, and belonging. What begins as a discussion about personal finance quickly expands into deeper territory: shame around money, performance-based worth, perfectionism, and how unresolved beliefs follow us into adulthood and marriage. Together, Theresa and Jade explore why money problems are rarely just about math. They unpack the emotional and behavioral patterns behind debt, including Jade’s experience navigating over $460,000 in student loan and consumer debt early in her marriage—and how facing those numbers forced a profound internal shift. This episode offers insight into financial healing, emotional freedom, and breaking generational money patterns. It’s a powerful conversation for anyone struggling with debt, money anxiety, relationship stress, or the belief that success and security must be earned through constant performance.  Subscribe for more soulful conversations.  Connect with us: Visit Theresa's Website: www.theresabruno.net  Follow Theresa on Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok: @Theresa.Harper.Bruno Get your copy of "He's Not Coming Back": https://bit.ly/40qGX6Y  Connect with our guest:  Visit Jade's Website: https://bit.ly/3M5dT16  Find Jade on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jadewarshawpersonality/  Follow Jade on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jadewarshaw/

    Heather Land: Rediscovering Your Purpose

    In this deeply honest and unexpectedly tender conversation, Theresa Bruno sits down with Heather Land to talk about what happens when the roles that once defined us begin to fall away. Heather opens up about navigating perimenopause, creativity droughts, shifting identity, and the quiet grief that can come when life doesn’t look the way you thought it would by midlife. With her signature humor and raw vulnerability, she shares how comedy emerged from pain, how laughter became a lifeline, and why making people feel normal has become her true calling. The conversation also moves into deeply personal territory as Heather reflects on motherhood, her daughter Ava’s journey toward healing, the generational impact of shame, and the freedom that comes when we stop hiding our mess. Together, Theresa and Heather explore how shame isolates us, how honesty restores intimacy, and how surrendering control can open the door to unexpected purpose. This episode is for anyone who feels tired, stuck, uncreative, or unsure of who they are becoming — and needs the reminder that nothing about where you are right now disqualifies you from the life you’re meant to live.
