Episode Summary: In this powerful, hope-filled, and final episode of Season 4 of The Living Transformed Podcast, Caroline sits down with her dear friend, therapist, encourager, and fellow mom Tricia Searels to talk about one of the most pressing topics facing families today: raising confident, healthy kids in a body-obsessed world. Together, they explore how body image struggles aren’t just an issue for girls - but for boys too - and how these conversations often begin much earlier than we expect. Tricia and Caroline unpack what it looks like to respond to our kids with grace, not fear, curiosity, not correction, and truth, not shame, when body image concerns arise. This conversation is deeply rooted in Psalm 139, reminding us that God intentionally knit each child together with purpose. Trisha offers practical wisdom for navigating hard moments, like negative self-talk, comparison, food conversations, and movement, while encouraging moms to model calm, confidence, and gratitude in their own lives. Above all, this episode is a reminder that we don’t have to be perfect parents to raise confident kids. Our presence matters more than our words, grace covers our missteps, and healthy confidence grows best in homes marked by peace, consistency, and love in action. About Tricia Searels Tricia Searels is a therapist, encourager, and mom of two grown daughters who is passionate about helping families cultivate confidence, emotional health, and grace-filled rhythms at home. With years of experience walking alongside parents and young adults, Tricia brings wisdom, warmth, and practical insight to conversations around identity, body image, and parenting with intention. What to Expect in This Episode Why body image struggles affect both girls and boys How to respond when your child makes negative comments about their body The difference between being reactive vs. responsive as a parent Why curiosity is more powerful than correction How tone, posture, and body language often matter more than words Language swaps that remove shame around food and movement Why modeling calm and gratitude builds confidence in kids How joyful movement can be woven into family life The importance of boundaries, habits, and discipline rooted in love Why confidence grows when kids understand their God-given purpose Key Takeaways Your presence matters more than perfect parenting. Calm, consistent, grace-filled homes create confident kids. Curiosity opens the door for honest, shame-free conversations. Kids learn more from what we model than what we teach. Confidence grows when identity is anchored in God, not appearance. Scripture Anchors Psalm 139:13–14 - “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Psalm 139:1–4 - “You have searched me, Lord, and you know me.You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.” Galatians 5:22–23 - “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” Romans 12:2 - “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Final Encouragement You were chosen by God to parent your children—on purpose and for a purpose. You don’t have to get everything right. A posture of humility, grace, and love in action will always speak louder than perfection. If today’s episode encouraged you, consider sharing it with another mom who needs hope and reassurance that she’s doing better than she thinks. Connect with Tricia Searels!

Episode Summary: In this empowering episode of The Living Transformed Podcast, Caroline sits down with Kelly Poole, a licensed Physical Therapist and Pelvic Floor Specialist with over 20 years of experience and the founder of Athens Pelvic Physical Therapy and Wellness. Kelly specializes in women’s pelvic health, from young adults to postpartum moms to women navigating perimenopause and beyond. Her heart for helping women live free, confident, and whole lives is evident in every word she shares. Together, Caroline and Kelly unpack why pelvic health matters for every woman and how issues like bladder leakage, prolapse, pain, and core weakness are far more common, and far more treatable, than many realize. Kelly explains what pelvic PT actually is, what to expect at an appointment, and why knowledge, breath work, alignment, and compassion are key to healing. They also discuss the connection between trauma and the nervous system, the importance of postpartum support, the spiritual side of healing, and the freedom that comes when women understand their bodies and finally receive the help they’ve long needed. Kelly’s wisdom, experience, and faith-filled perspective will leave you encouraged, informed, and empowered to care for your body with grace, purpose, and hope. About Kelly Poole Kelly Poole is a licensed physical therapist with over 20 years of experience and the founder of Athens Pelvic Physical Therapy and Wellness, where she helps women restore strength, confidence, and freedom through pelvic floor therapy, neuromuscular training, and corrective exercise.

Kelly is passionate about helping women understand how fearfully and wonderfully made their bodies are, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and believes healing is always possible. What to Expect in This Episode What pelvic floor physical therapy really is—and why every woman should understand it The most common symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction Why bladder leakage during workouts is common but not normal How breath work connects to core strength, nervous system regulation, and pelvic health Pelvic floor myths, fears, and misconceptions women often carry How childbirth, trauma, stress, and posture impact pelvic function Why postpartum women need more support than they’re often given How alignment, small tweaks, and gentle exercises can make a big difference Stories of healing, restoration, and freedom from Kelly’s years of practice A faith-filled perspective on how God designed our bodies to heal Key Takeaways Awareness brings freedom — knowing your body is the first step toward healing. Your pelvic floor needs both strength and relaxation—tight isn’t the same as strong. Breath is a powerful tool for regulating the nervous system and supporting the core. Healing is possible at every age and stage—you are not alone and you are not broken. Movement, rest, and alignment matter for whole-body wellness and long-term strength. Scripture Anchors Psalm 139:14 – “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well" Galatians 5:13–14 – “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free.

The power of community and relationships in our faith journey. Why biblical encouragement is so vital, yet often overlooked. Practical ways to encourage others in your life. How to cultivate a deeper awareness of encouragement in your faith. The importance of abiding in Christ (John 15) for a thriving faith. How our culture's focus on "self" contrasts with the Bible's emphasis on "one another". Quotes from the Episode: “Faith is more than a belief. It is trust. It is surrender, and it's a willingness to go deeper.” “The culture is screaming, independence. Self, self, self... And I think the Bible's just so different than that. I think the Bible preaches a whole different message of truly living and knowing and bearing burdens with people.”“Thinking outside yourself is a way to push back against that [culture of independence] in a huge way.” “Scripture's calling us to just care and not, not be independent, but to be dependent on God and and caring about one another.” Scripture references: Ephesians 4:29 Hebrews 10:24-25 John 15 Connect with Brooke!

Trained by international leaders in the field, Kalen has touched the lives of thousands of patients and instructed numerous providers on the art and techniques of aesthetic medicine. Her career highlights include experience at prestigious dermatology practices in Washington, D.C., and Charleston, South Carolina. She is the founder of Ashford Aesthetics, a facial aesthetic boutique offering the latest non-invasive techniques to enhance your appearance. Kalen specializes in full-face rejuvenation with an emphasis on natural results, and finds great satisfaction in helping each patient achieve the most beautiful version of themselves. In this episode, Caroline and expert guest Kalen Ashford explore how to maintain healthy, radiant skin and embrace graceful aging. Kalen shares her expertise on skincare routines, treatments, and lifestyle habits, empowering women to feel confident and vibrant at every stage of life. Drawing from her experience in clinical dermatology and aesthetic medicine, and her passion for helping patients achieve natural-looking results, Kalen provides practical advice on everything from daily skincare essentials to the latest non-invasive treatments. The conversation emphasizes that true beauty is found in Christ and that skincare is a way to honor the gift of our bodies. Key Takeaways: The importance of seeing ourselves as “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14). Basic skincare routine: washing your face and wearing sunscreen. Common aging skin conditions include pigmentation and solar elastosis. Key anti-aging skincare ingredients: retinoids, antioxidants (like vitamin C), and hydrating ingredients (like hyaluronic acid). Factors that can disrupt the skin barrier: eczema, washing your face too much, using astringent products, and over-exfoliating. Improving skin elasticity and firmness involves increasing collagen production (retinoids, sunscreen, microneedling, fractionated lasers) and potentially using topical estrogen. Sunscreen: SPF 30 or higher, applied daily and reapplied, including to the neck and hands. Powdered sunscreen is good for reapplication, especially on the hairline and ears. Proper skincare, internal hydration (drinking water), and certain products (topical estrogen, hyaluronic acid) help keep skin hydrated. Diet affects skin health; avoid overly processed foods and sugar, and eat antioxidant-rich foods. Non-invasive treatments for youthful skin: microneedling, lasers, red light therapy, neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport). Sleep lines are vertical lines caused by side sleeping and are treated with skincare and minimally invasive procedures. Red light therapy can be beneficial if using a professional-grade device with the right wavelengths. “Balance” is difficult to achieve; life has ebbs and flows.   Featured Quotes: “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” - Psalm 139:14 “Wash your face. That's the number one., And put on sunscreen, that's number two.” “I love helping people feel their best in their skin.”   Resources:  Guide to Reduce Inflammation in the Body  Anti-Inflammatory Diet and Lifestyle Guide    Connect with Kalen + Ashford Aesthetics!

Join Caroline and special guest Dr. Cynthia Mercer as they delve into the often-overlooked but crucial topic of bone health for women of all ages. Discover practical strategies for building and maintaining strong bones through nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle choices. Dr. Mercer shares her expertise, providing valuable insights and actionable steps to prevent osteoporosis and fractures, empowering women to live active, independent, and fulfilling lives.   Dr. Cynthia Mercer is a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist who practiced in Athens, Georgia, for nearly 40 years before retiring in 2021. She completed her medical training at the Medical College of Georgia and residency at Emory University, where she served as Chief Resident. Dr. Mercer has held numerous leadership roles, including past president of the Georgia Obstetrics and Gynecology Society and chair of the Georgia Board of Public Health. She also served on the Augusta University Health System Board and is active in her church and community, including serving on the executive board of The Cancer Foundation of Northeast Georgia. She is married to attorney Thomas Rogers and has two children and four grandsons.   Key Takeaways: Bone health is crucial for women of all ages to stay active and independent. Bone density is the amount of minerals in your bones, constantly being remodeled by osteoblasts (builders) and osteoclasts (choppers). Bone mass peaks in your 20s and gradually declines, with rapid loss during menopause due to estrogen decrease. DEXA scans measure bone density to diagnose osteopenia (thin bones) and osteoporosis. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, medications (pills, shots, infusions targeting osteoclasts or osteoblasts), and hormone therapy. Calcium (1200mg), Vitamin D (1000-2000 IU, know your levels), and Magnesium (500mg) are key supplements. Consider creatine (3-5g) for muscle and bone support. Get calcium through diet (dairy, greens, fish, nuts, fruits) if possible. Weight-bearing and resistance exercises are vital for bone health.  Stomping, jumping, weighted squats/deadlifts stress bones positively. Start supervised if you have osteoporosis. Weight-bearing exercises work against gravity; resistance training builds muscle strength. Combine both! Scripture References:  Psalm 73:26: “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." Proverbs 4:23: "Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts."   Resources: High-Intensity Resistance and Impact Training Improves Bone Mineral Density and Physical Function in Postmenopausal Women With Osteopenia and Osteoporosis: The LIFTMOR Randomized Controlled Trial     Connect with Caroline!
