Feeling unmotivated or ready to give up? This journaling session is your reminder that rest isn't quitting—it's healing. Take a breath, slow down, and remember: even stillness is growth.

In honor of my book relaunch, I am sharing this special STRENGTH acrostic episode that I recorded in 2023 around the one-year birthday of my first edition of Depth. You are going to learn so much for Evelyn Sherwood! Have you ever felt the presence of God? Have you ever felt Him close to you? I know for me, I felt the presence of God the most in the middle of my hard seasons: my divorce, the loss of my friend, and my miscarriage. Maybe you can relate. This week on the podcast, I am so excited to have Evelyn Sherwood. She is a friend of mine who sadly has walked through many hardships. One of the things we talk about today is just how much she felt the presence of God in the middle of this hard season. She actually says this amazing quote (I am going to give you a little sneak peek because it is so good). She says, "The sweetness of His presence far surpassed the pain of my suffering." Evelyn has so much wisdom to share with you. So, we are going to be going through the acrostic. Today we look at S which stands for Seek God and Invite Him Into the pain. I am so excited for you to hear the wisdom from Evelyn of how she was able to seek God and invite Him into the middle of her pain. She went through an intense 18 month season where there was one storm after another, so you do not want to miss the truth she shares! Below are the other letters from the STRENGTH acrostic in my Depth book! I will be showing all the interviews over on YouTube- one each week!

What if the hardest seasons are the ones that actually teach us how to live? That's the thread we follow with author and chaplain Sam Wegner as he opens up about walking through his wife's stage 4 cancer, months that turned into years, a long job loss, and the daily choice to trust a God who doesn't flinch when the ground shifts beneath us.Sam shares how “the weight of the wait” exposes our craving for control and invites a sturdier kind of hope—one grounded not in outcomes but in the unchanging goodness of God. We talk about why affliction can be a teacher, how milestones like “just get to Easter” can disorient when we outlive them, and why real rest is an act of surrender rather than a luxury. He tells a raw story of waking up drowning in dread, breaking the spiral with first principles—God is good, God provides—and finding peace that didn't fix the circumstances but freed his heart to keep going.We also get practical: the difference between positivity and true hope, how to recognize when your body is carrying what your soul won't release, and why asking for prayer to endure may be more powerful than asking for the storm to end. Sam walks us through The Weight of the Wait—available in print, Kindle, and audiobook in his own voice—and the listener stories that continue to shape him, including a reminder that avoidance may feel safe but keeps us from healing.If you need a reason to keep moving when answers are slow and the stakes are high, this conversation is a companion for the long road.

True Crime Tuesday presents: The Las Vegas Massacre Connections: Finding Strength Through Tragedy with Journalist/Show Host/Author, Mark Gray! On October 1, 2017, Mary Jo von Tillow's world changed forever. Her husband, Kurt, was killed in the Route 91 Harvest Festival mass shooting in Las Vegas, the deadliest in U.S. history. In just eleven minutes, her life-and the lives of thousands of others-were shattered. But what followed was more than grief. Out of devastation came unexpected bonds with other survivors, advocates, and families who knew the same kind of loss. From a 9/11 firefighter who turned his pain into kindness, to a victims' rights attorney who changed national law, to fellow widows and survivors who refused to give up, Mary Jo discovered what it means to carry tragedy together. THE LAS VEGAS MASSACRE CONNECTIONS is both a deeply personal account and a collective portrait of resilience. Through Mark Gray's in-depth reporting and Mary Jo's courage to share her story, this book captures the enduring impact of Route 91 and the human strength that rises after unimaginable loss. On today's TCT, we discuss what happened to Mark on the fateful last night of the Route 91 Harvest Festival, why he revisited that night five years later, how Mary Jo Von Tillow came into his life, and how life brought all the people in this book together and turned trauma and death into new life and new opportunities!

In 2023 Daniela and I were in Boston for something at Barstool - I can't remember what exactly. It was spitting snow like it does in the Northeast. I had on my favorite winter hat and got a like from Shit That I Knit. This is how I met Christina Pardy. I liked her instantly - she's a Masshole. Sweet, gritty, creative, earnest and motivated. I had her come to Barstool and we talked about her company and her vision. I was on here the other day and saw a post from Christina about selling STIT. It was vulnerable and honest. She talked about her mom, lifting weights, skipping the wine and reimagining her future.I think people shy away from talking about the end of things - like there's something shameful about it. I wanted to have this conversation with Christina to give light and space to the things that don't work outChristina joined WORK to lay it all out.

Nicole Kardoes began homeschooling while her husband, Lieutenant Colonel Michael Kardoes, served in the Air Force. Frequent moves and long deployments were simply part of life, and homeschooling became a way to bring consistency to their ever- changing world. In 2022, Michael passed away from burn pit exposure. Homeschooling quickly became much more than an educational choice, it became a lifeline. Nicole and her children were given the gift of the flexibility and stability they needed to grieve, heal, and rebuild. In this episode, Nicole shares her story of love, loss, and resilience, and how the military homeschooling community and organizations like the Tunnel to Towers Foundation helped her family find hope and strength through it all. "Resiliency, being part of a community, academics—they all play a part in homeschooling. I have kids that are married with their master's degree, and they had scholarships all the way through. I have other kids that did community college. I have two that aren't sure they even want to go to college. (My 15-year-old wants to be a farrier, so she wants to go trade school.) There is room for all these things within homeschooling! Whether it's the kid who absolutely hates academics and they just want you to hurry up and count the credits and be done, [or] the kid who aspires for graduate school or maybe becoming a professor themselves someday and getting that PhD, there's room for [both]. That's the beautiful thing. We can tailor it to that while we are giving them other skills as well."—Nicole Kardoes

Tamara Miller returns to share insights from her life after losing her husband of 58 years, a journey she chronicles in her book, “What the Hell Just Happened.” She speaks openly about how grief forced her to manage everything from daily household tasks to deep, existential questions. Along the way, she discovered unexpected strength, humor, and purpose. Tamara highlights the healing power of storytelling, the support of community, and the value of being prepared, offering guidance that has helped many navigate their own losses. Blending practical advice—such as estate planning and basic home maintenance—with candid emotion and wit, Tamara reminds listeners that grief can linger. Staying active, reinventing yourself, and supporting others are essential steps forward. Whether you are grieving, planning for the future, or seeking inspiration, her insights provide comfort, connection, and hope. Quotes: “You're going to grieve forever, and that's okay. But don't make that your life—this is your journey now.” “I threw humor in because I didn't want someone to read my book and say, ‘Boy, is that depressing! ” "No matter how much you prepare, you'll never be fully ready for loss."

Welcome to the Komen Health Equity Revolution podcast series on Real Pink. Each month, we bring together patients, community partners, health care providers, researchers and advocates to talk about real challenges and real solutions driving the health equity revolution. Together, we're working to close the gaps and create a future of breast health equity for all. We are honored to be joined by Guerdy Abraira. You may know her from The Real Housewives of Miami, but beyond the cameras, Guerdy has shown incredible strength and resilience as a breast cancer survivor. This National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we're talking about the power of sharing your story, building community and why organizations like Susan G. Komen are committed to ensuring that no one faces breast cancer alone.

When life feels heavy and God seems quiet, don't pull away—run toward him. Real strength is found in the moments we're most honest with God, not when we pretend to have it all together.

We go deep into what it means to show up when it hurts, to advocate without fear, and to find grace when the world is loud and support is thin. Drawing from real caregiving moments, we talk about long nights, difficult calls, and the quiet relief that arrives when a voice you trust enters the room. We honor the work as sacred, not because it is easy, but because it dignifies the person you love and reveals a strength that is both gentle and unwavering.We explore practical advocacy—how to challenge a plan, ask better questions, and persist until you get the clarity your loved one deserves. We share why self-care is nonnegotiable, offering ways to rest without guilt so your presence stays steady and kind. Along the way, we highlight how caregiving expands the heart, teaching compassion that is deeper, wiser, and more discerning. The smallest wins become anchors: a calmer breath, a small smile, a peaceful hour after a hard day.You'll hear affirmations written for weary caregivers, reminders that you are seen, valued, and never alone. If you've wondered whether your work matters, consider this your proof: love in motion changes rooms, calms storms, and keeps hope alive.

Send us a textIn this episode of Viewpoints, Jordan and Pastor John talk about what it really means to experience hope that lasts. Pastor John shares how Romans 15:13 has been an anchor in his own life—especially through moments of uncertainty, like his daughter's recent health scare. From reflections on his trip to Japan to discussions about suffering, doubt, and God's promises, this episode reminds us that true hope is found in Christ alone.If you've ever asked, “Where do I find hope when everything feels uncertain?” — this conversation is for you.

Life is filled with ups and downs, with mountains and valleys, with bright sunny days and dark, cloudy ones. If you're in a deep, dark valley, you're not alone. If you've never been there, realize that some day you, too, will experience that difficult place.  You'd best be ready for it.

What if the way you move your body could become the way you move your heart when everything else feels broken? When my wife Terri died, an accident changed everything. The life I planned was gone in a moment, and the weight of grief followed everywhere I looked.  My body grew heavier. My mind spiraled. My purpose felt lost.  In that darkness I found something I thought was only about fitness. I discovered movement as a way through.
