Ep 34 - Mental health with chronic illness: distance, grief, recalibrating
Mental health with chronic illness is a huge topic, but today we're starting the conversation with a cycle that Christina has often found herself in -- from distance and denial, to acceptance and grief, to action and recalibration, back to distance. We talk about how this cycle is healthy and helpful in the process of progression both physically, mentally, and emotionally. We hope you feel seen and find grace and space as you sit with us under The Willow Tree for this very tender and important topic.

Ep 33 - What if you don't have a "calling"?
What do you want to be when you grow up? What's your calling, purpose, life work... Society really hits hard with this question starting at a young age all through adulthood. It can bring feelings of shame, anxiety, and confusion if you don't feel like you have an "acceptable" answer as you age. So today we're talking about our experience with never feeling like we "landed" in the way that we once thought we needed to, and how perhaps purpose is a daily posture, not a roadmap up the ladder. We also share the very random jobs we've had in our life so far...and there's quite a few! See you under the Willow Tree!

Ep 32 - When a "feeler" marries a "thinker"
This could also be titled "listen in on Christina's therapy session." This is a really interesting conversation about the dynamic between a "feeler" and a "thinker" in relationship. Often the "feelers" can internalize the message from our society that they're "too much." Maybe you can relate to this? We're talking about our experience with this dynamic in our own marriage and some powerful things we've learned about honoring emotions as a form of intelligence equal to any other form of intelligence.

Are you a deep feeler? How can you honor and celebrate that part of your intelligence rather than try to subdue it? If you’re a deep thinker, how can you honor that part of someone in your life?

Customer Reviews
Consistently a highlight
I was so grateful to follow Stephen and Christina from their subscription to this public format. This podcast is consistently a highlight for me- I always look forward to the next episode! Their encouragement and example of living a valued life in health, heart and home has made an incredible impact on my own journey. The episodes are authentic and vulnerable, while also providing takeaways, whimsy, and comfort. So grateful for this family!
A warm hug of a podcast
I can’t recommend this podcast enough, especially for people who seek to slow down, value introspection, and deeply enjoy authenticity. Christina and Stephen are insanely lovable. They share so vulnerably and cover a perfect balance of topics under the umbrella of health, heart, and home. They have a way about their dynamic that feels a little like therapy and a little like chatting with a friend at the same time. It’s a beautiful combination of focused and unscripted. What a delight it is to hear not only about the topics they plan, but what their toddler is up to these days or a fun food they ate this week. Highly recommend subscribing!
Such valuable and relatable content!
As a former subscription holder I highly recommend this podcast.
Stephen and Christina warmly invite us to listen in as they share applicable insights through building a life in alignment with our values. We see common threads as we glimpse into their joys and suffering, hear their vulnerability and gain new knowledge in relation to wholeness and its expression through our heart, health and home.
