We dive into what short days really do to mood, immunity, and motivation, then map out simple ways to bring light back into daily life—through sunlight, sleep, food, and community. We start with the science behind seasonal affective dips and why morning light is a powerful anchor for your circadian rhythm. From vitamin D’s role in immun...

Finding Joy In Dementia Care with Marilyn Raichle

Send us a text What if the story we tell about dementia is upside down? Jill sits down with author and advocate Marilyn Raichle to trace her path from reluctant caregiver to devoted care partner for her mother, Jean—a journey sparked by a single painting class that turned fear into curiosity and connection.

From Feeding Tube To Freedom with Sara Kelsey

Send us a text A teenage diagnosis of achalasia set Sara on a path she never asked for—esophageal surgery, years of nausea and vomiting, and a later diagnosis of gastroparesis that made eating unpredictable and exhausting. Add the weight of a “permanent” feeding tube, depression, and the slow drift into binge drinking, and you get a life that looked functional from the outside but felt unsustainable from the inside. We sit down with Sara to unpack how health, marriage, parenting, and purpose ...

Reading The Signs: Purpose In Motionn with Bishop Kevin Foreman

Send us a text Some moments feel like they were made just for you. That’s where we begin: with signs that don’t demand worship, but invite movement. Joe shares a mysterious “divine download” memory and Bishop Kevin reframes it as a signal that did its job. From there we trace a throughline of purpose: how to recognize direction, how to respond without getting stuck, and how to keep evolving even when the road dips into a valley after a peak. We ground transformation in something you can hold...

He Chose To Live, Found Purpose, And Built A Safer Way To Hire Contractors

Send us a text A whispered “he’s tombstone” in a silent hospital hallway became the pivot point. John Stewart Hill chose to stay, and that decision reshaped his life—and the way homeowners find trustworthy help. What began with a weak heart and a yellow legal pad turned into The Good Contractors List, a national network that vets pros with FBI-level checks and backs every job with a $25,000 guarantee. We walk through John’s raw origin story—three divorces, no clear career, and prayers to dis...

Scans, Choices, And Taking Charge with Dr Robert Hoffman

Send us a text A “good scan” can feel like a finish line, but we dig into why it’s often just the start of smarter decisions. Joe walks through a favorable MRI, an attentive ENT visit, and the practical next move: get a CT to clarify what’s scar, what’s necrosis, and what—if anything—still needs attention. Along the way, we unpack the real limits of imaging, the differences between diagnostic radiation and therapeutic doses, and how to frame each test around a specific question so you get ans...

From Diagnosis To Direction: Cara Lockwood On Taking Back Control

Send us a text A routine mammogram, a life-altering call, and a decision that would shape everything that followed: who holds the wheel. Author Cara Lockwood joins us to talk about facing HER2-positive breast cancer, reclaiming agency, and transforming a frightening diagnosis into a blueprint for action, humor, and hope. We start with the fog of early days—the “white room” where language blurs and time stretches—then move into the moment Cara decided cancer wouldn’t decide for her. She walks...

Becoming Who You’re Meant To Be In Your Later Years with Susanne Eden

Send us a text What if aging isn’t decline but the door to becoming who you were meant to be? That’s the heart of our conversation with educator and author Suzanne Eden, who at 87 shares a candid, hard-won perspective on health, purpose, and wholeness. We unpack the critical difference between curing and healing, why trauma and lifelong pressure can show up as physical illness, and how a purely biomedical approach often misses the deeper work that restores integrity to the whole self.

Springsteen, Storytelling, And Starting Again with Anne Abel

Send us a text A stadium full of strangers rose to their feet, Bruce Springsteen smiled into the camera, and Ann Abel felt something she hadn’t in years: possibility. What followed wasn’t a fairy tale; it was a series of small, stubborn yeses that moved her from severe, recurrent depression and ECT-induced memory loss to a late-life surge of storytelling, two memoirs, and a social media community of more than 720,000 people. We sit down with Ann to trace that path with honesty and heart. She...

Rewriting Attention: Trauma, Faith, And The Power Of One Focus with Ron Souers

Send us a text Ever tried to outrun your brain? Ron Souers did—until speed and stress nearly cost him his job. Our conversation traces that moment of reckoning to a new framework for ADHD: not a defect to hide, but a different wiring to understand, support, and leverage. Ron is a coach, advocate, and host of “Don’t Mind Me, I Just Have ADHD,” and he brings hard-won lessons from the shop floor to the therapist’s chair to practical routines anyone can adopt. We unpack what ADHD really looks li...

We explore the psychology of gratitude in plain language: fewer negative loops, calmer emotions,...

From Hair Pulling To Healing: Hypnotherapy, BFRBs, And Recovery with Kisha Reynolds

Send us a text The urge feels harmless at first: a tiny bump on the scalp, a rough edge on the skin, a moment of boredom. Then comes the pull or the pick, the trance-like focus, the fleeting relief—and the shame that follows. We invited certified clinical hypnotherapist and hair loss specialist Keisha Reynolds to help us unpack body-focused repetitive behaviors like trichotillomania and dermatillomania, and to share a roadmap that actually works. Keisha explains how BFRBs differ from OCD: th...

From Overparenting To Underachieving: A Memoir Of Schizoid Personality And Survival with Blair Sorrel

We sit with author and advocate Blair Sorell to uncover how schizoid personality disorder can form as a learned defense—and how clarity, therapy, and the right environment can turn fog into focus. Blair opens up about growing up between a terminally ill mother and an absent father, the slow drift from daydreaming to dysfunction, and the way school and work punish traits that once kept ...

How A Psychologist Turns Hardship Into Strength You Can Use Today with Dr Kate Lund

We sat down with Dr. Kate Lund—psychologist, TEDx speaker, and host of The Optimized Mind—to turn big ideas about mental health into tools you’ll actually use. From childhood surgeries to two decades of clinical practice, Kate has learned that real strength starts with a steady baseline, not superhuman willpower.
