  • What Faith and Science Teach Us About Stress, Sleep, and Real Rest with Kerstin Lindquist
    Jul 1 2026

    There's a kind of tired that sleep alone won't fix. The kind where you wake up already behind, push through the day on caffeine and adrenaline, and collapse at night with your mind still racing. Most of us have come to call this normal life. But what if it isn't?

    In this episode, I'm joined by Kerstin Lindquist, host of the StRest podcast, certified health coach, and former QVC host, who is doing some of the most important work right now on stress, sleep, and what it really takes to find rest. We get into the hidden cost of running on empty, why so many of us wear stress like a badge of honor, and how faith and science together can actually move us toward the kind of rest we're craving.

    This one is especially good if you've been feeling exhausted but not sure why, or if you've ever wondered what's really getting in the way of the peace you keep chasing. Enjoy!

  • How to Break Parenting Cycles and Build the Legacy You Want with Dr. Cassidy Freitas
    Jun 17 2026

    When your child is grown, what do you hope they'll remember about how it felt to be around you? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Cassidy Freitas, licensed marriage and family therapist and author of Mom Needs a Moment, and we get into this question and so much more. How to identify and break the cycles you don't want to pass on, what presence (actually) looks like and what legacy really means when you strip away the pressure of perfection.
