  1. The Woman Who Reads People to Sleep: Kerri Hunt

    MAR 31

    The Woman Who Reads People to Sleep: Kerri Hunt

    Kerri Hunt didn't set out to become the internet's most calming voice. She was a homeschool mom of six, newly empty-nested, quietly wondering if her best days were behind her. She joined a life coach certification program—fully convinced she would never actually coach anyone. Then a friend shared her podcast with the world… and suddenly, 20,000 downloads followed. In this conversation, we cover a lot of ground. Almost none of it goes where you'd expect. We explore: Why the "thought download" is one of the most underrated tools for overwhelm—and how pen to paper can rival a therapy session The difference between coaching and counseling (one is archaeology, the other is architecture) What 24 years of homeschooling teaches about how people get stuck—and how they get unstuck • Why your purpose might already be in front of you—and the problem with waiting to be happy until you find it How your thoughts are literally showing—the science of energy, aura, and why even your dog senses tension What people are truly searching for (Kerri's two-word answer might be the most powerful moment of the episode)  Plus, Kerri reads a live passage from Theo of Golden that will stop you in your tracks. Kerri is warm, disarmingly honest, and genuinely fun. This is a conversation worth your full attention.

    Healing Pain Through the Nervous System with Eliza Andrews, PT

    In this powerful and insightful episode of The Whealthy Life, I sit down with Eliza Andrews, an experienced physical therapist and founder of Inspirit Therapy Associates, to explore a truly integrative approach to healing. With over 30 years in the field and a specialty in pelvic health, Eliza shares how her practice goes beyond traditional physical therapy—incorporating nervous system regulation, trauma-informed care, visceral manipulation, integrative dry needling, craniosacral therapy, and more. We discuss why pain isn't always structural, how emotional and neurological patterns contribute to physical symptoms, and why addressing the nervous system is essential for lasting healing. From helping patients improve sleep, digestion, and libido to teaching nervous system "homework" like breathwork and vagus nerve activation, Eliza's work offers a deeply personalized path to whole-body recovery. Whether you're a practitioner, a patient, or someone curious about the connection between trauma, stress, and chronic pain—this episode will change how you think about healing.

    Doc's Thoughts - Thomas Matzke from Matzke Chiropractic

    In this episode of Doc's Thoughts, Dr. Lynn Wagner sits down with her personal chiropractor, Dr. Thomas Matzke, founder of Matzke Chiropractic, to demystify the world of chiropractic care. They explore what chiropractic really is (spoiler: it's not just about back pain), how it optimizes nerve flow, and its surprising impact on the autonomic nervous system—influencing everything from digestion to mood to hormone regulation. Dr. Matzke shares his journey from biomedical science to chiropractic medicine, explains what subluxation really means, and breaks down why the gentle, functional approach he practices is effective—even without the dramatic "cracks." The two also dive into misconceptions around chiropractic care, the historical divide between conventional and chiropractic medicine, and why that gap is finally starting to close. Whether you're new to chiropractic care, skeptical of it, or already a believer, this episode will change the way you view the spine-body connection. It's a must-listen for anyone interested in pain prevention, stress regulation, and living a balanced, high-performing life.
