If you’ve ever found yourself scrolling a little too long on your phone… or wondering whether social media is helping or hindering you this episode is one you’ll want to tune into fully.
Today I’m talking with Mari Wuellner entrepreneur, life coach, founder of The Crew coaching collective, podcaster, and self-proclaimed curious student of life. She’s here to share her personal journey of intentionally stepping away from social media for three months, what that experience revealed about her self-worth, presence, creativity, business, and how it ultimately led her to pivot her model and show up differently online.

Clutter is not just about stuff on the floor, it is often a signal that something deeper feels overloaded. In this episode, decluttering coach Dorota Kuldo breaks down why traditional “push harder” organizing advice can backfire, and what it looks like to declutter in a softer, more sustainable way that supports your nervous system instead of fighting it. She shares her own story of living between extremes, hitting a rock-bottom moment at home, and rebuilding a life where peace and calm became the default. Listeners will walk away with practical, doable starting points (including the one-minute method), plus powerful mindset shifts around shame, self-trust, and the hidden rules that keep people stuck. This matters because clutter can quietly drain energy, time, money, and relationships, and this conversation offers a realistic path to change without perfectionism.

What if better digestion doesn’t start with a supplement or a cleanse, but with how you sit down to eat?

In this episode, Peyton Naomi Leonard shared something that stopped me in my tracks: when you truly delight yourself in God, your desires and His desires start to align.

Together, we talk about setting, navigating seasons of life, and learning how to pursue big dreams while staying rooted in peace.

You can set goals, make plans, and stay consistent but dating doesn’t work the same way as the rest of your life. In this episode, relationship coach Rachel Rose explains why dating can feel especially frustrating and discouraging, particularly around the holidays, when comparison and pressure are everywhere. Rachel breaks down why relationship goals are different from career or personal goals, how old wounds and expectations get amplified this time of year, and what actually helps singles regain clarity and confidence. This conversation matters because it reframes dating struggles as a strategy and timing issue, not a personal failure, and reminds listeners that protecting your peace, limiting access, and being intentional are powerful steps forward even when progress doesn’t look linear.Connect With Rachel Rose

What drives someone to run 50 miles through nonstop rain, mud, and 11,000 feet of elevation gain? For marathoner and Boston qualifier Kaleb Shoell, the answer was simple: to test his limits. In this inspiring episode of 52 Weeks, Kaleb shares how he went from pushing a stroller in marathons with his two daughters to completing his first ultra marathon on the rainiest day Utah has seen since 1901.
He opens up about what pushed him to move from 26.2 miles to 50, the mental battles that come when you still have 30 miles to go, and the support that kept him moving especially from his wife, who cheered him on in the rain eight months pregnant. Kaleb also talks about pacing alongside his dad, how family shaped his “never quit” mindset, and what running has taught him about life, grit, and consistency.
Whether you’re a runner or not, this conversation will motivate you to put your goals on your vision board and start taking the first step because as Kaleb says, “You’re never going to be 100% ready. You just have to start.”
