Katherine Connors had just returned from her honeymoon when a family health crisis was followed by the shocking discovery of a secret that changed everything.

Years later, unresolved pain followed her into motherhood as she struggled with postpartum depression, feeling unheard, overwhelmed, and unsure where to turn. In this honest conversation, Catherine shares her journey through family betrayal, forgiveness, boundaries, and the healing that began when someone finally listened.

She also opens up about discovering polarity therapy, exploring generational patterns, and finding a new sense of purpose through the very experiences that once caused so much pain.

Sherrie Evans grew up in foster care, with more than 47 placements across two states, always searching for a love that felt safe. She found it, lost it, and found it again through faith, marriage, and eventually motherhood. But nothing prepared her for losing two of her children to fentanyl-laced overdoses within six months of each other other.I

In this conversation, Sherrie shares what it's like to carry grief that never fully goes away, why she refuses to let shame or stigma have the final word for families touched by addiction, and how she turned unimaginable loss into Legacy of Hope: a project offering healing retreats, advocacy for foster kids, and a place for grieving mothers to say their children's names out loud. This episode is for anyone who has ever needed to borrow someone else's hope for a while. Sherrie reminds us: it never goes away, but it does become less invasive, and there is still light on the other side.

Content note: this episode includes discussion of child abuse, addiction, and loss of a child. Please listen with care.

Lindsey Korell built a successful career by pushing hard, taking on more, and believing she could keep going.

Then a heart attack stopped everything.

What followed was not only physical recovery but also a deeper reckoning with the life she had created, the pace she had normalized, and how little room she had left for herself.

In this conversation, Lindsey shares what it looked like to rebuild from the inside out, rethink her relationship with work, and learn that rest is not something we earn after everything else is done. It is part of how we care for ourselves.

We talk about slowing down, creating structure that supports your life, recognizing your limits before your body forces you to, and what can change when you begin asking a different question:

Not “How much more can I carry?” but “What kind of life do I actually want to live?”

This is a conversation about wake-up calls, rebuilding, and choosing a way forward that leaves room for you, too.

In this episode, I sit down with Andrea, the artist behind Revolution A, to talk about growing up on the autism spectrum, years of being bullied and misunderstood, and how art became the one place she could finally breathe.

Andrea opens up about numbing her pain with alcohol for fifteen years, and the moment she chose sobriety and herself, even before she felt fully healed.

Georgette shares how family patterns shaped her life, how blame weighed her down, and how God helped her release what was never hers to carry.

Gentle hypnosis is a guided relaxation technique that helps people create positive life changes by working with the subconscious mind. It is commonly used to support emotional healing, reduce stress, shift limiting beliefs, and help release unwanted habits. In a calm, focused state, the mind becomes more open to positive suggestions that encourage healthier thinking patterns and lasting personal growth.

In this episode, we explain how gentle hypnosis works and debunk common myths about hypnosis, including misconceptions about control and awareness. I also share my personal testimony after experiencing hypnosis with Colleen, what the session felt like, and the changes I noticed afterward. This conversation offers clear insight into how hypnosis can support healing, clarity, and lasting change.

There’s a version of the adoption conversation that feels too small, too rushed, and too boxed into false either-or choices. So we made space for something deeper: Tammy Tuttle’s story of “the third choice” and the long, faith-led road that brought her daughter, Remy, home. Tammy is a mother of five who started with a simple desire to adopt, then spent years learning patience through closed doors, doubts, and the kind of waiting that tests your peace.

We talk through what adoption actually looks like on the ground: overseas adoption barriers, domestic infant adoption realities, and the practical steps that matter most, including contacting local family adoption attorneys, completing a home study, and getting adoption paperwork finished before an opportunity appears. Tammy shares the moment she finally surrendered the desire to God, asking for it to be removed if it wasn’t meant for their family, and waking up with a calm confidence she couldn’t manufacture.

Then everything changes with one phone call and an impossible timeline. Tammy tells the birth story that still brings her to tears: meeting Savannah, receiving an invitation into the delivery room, and witnessing the courage it takes for a birth mother to choose adoption. We also explore what people rarely say out loud, including the grief adoptive parents can feel for a birth mom after leaving the hospital, and the surprising, beautiful bond that can grow even when an adoption begins as “closed.” Tammy closes with how she tells Remy her adoption story with love, why Remy’s compassion matters, and the scripture that reshaped how she sees adoption.

If this story moves you, help us reach the next listener who needs hope: subscribe, share this episode, and leave a review. What does “the third choice” mean to you?

One night. One moment. A lifetime of impact.

In this episode, Theresa shares how a violent experience as a teenager changed the course of her life in ways she never expected. What happened in a single night didn’t just stay in the past, it shaped how she saw herself, her safety, her voice, and her future.

But this is more than just a story about trauma.

It’s about what comes next.

It’s about carrying something heavy over the years... and what it feels like to slowly start unpacking it.

Through honesty and courage, Theresa shares the lasting effects of violence, the quiet ways it follows you, and the strength needed to face it.

If you’ve ever wondered how one moment can shape a lifetime or how healing begins after something you didn’t choose, this conversation will meet you there.

Basic teen dating violence tips:

• Pay attention to sudden isolation from friends or family.
• Notice if a teen seems afraid to upset their partner.
• Be aware of constant texting, checking in, or needing to know where they are.
• Watch for controlling behavior around clothes, friends, or daily choices.
• Take emotional changes seriously, especially shame, fear, or withdrawing.
• Create a calm space to talk without judgment or pressure.
• Remind teens that control is not love.
• Let them know they can tell you the truth without being blamed.
