Sometimes life doesn't go as planned. In this episode, I share the story of a call from my son's school that changed my day in an instant and what it taught me about real wealth, freedom, and being present for what matters most. I reflect on what real wealth looks like, not in bank accounts or net worth, but in the freedom to stop, respond, and be present when life happens. I also talk about why I wrote Your Journey to Financial Freedom as a roadmap and guide, and how the new paperback edition includes a bonus chapter to help navigate unexpected detours, setbacks, and uncertainty. This episode is about presence, perspective, and the true meaning of financial freedom and it's a reminder that your journey is yours, detours and all. In this episode I share: Freedom isn't just financial it's the ability to make choices when life happens. Real wealth is the flexibility to be present for what truly matters. Your financial journey is a roadmap, not a rigid plan detours are part of the process. Life happens. You're not failing. You're living.

In this episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I am sharing the simple but powerful decision that completely changed the type of clients I attract and the way I experience my beauty business.As I kick off the first episode of 2026, I reflect on what truly shifted my career. It was not more content, more hustle, or more trends. It was the decision to stop talking to everyone and get clear on who I actually wanted to serve. Once I made that choice, everything began to change. My positioning became clearer, my boundaries became stronger, and the clients who came into my world were aligned, respectful, and willing to pay my rates.In this episode, I walk you through why clarity creates confidence, how positioning affects your pricing, and why defining your ideal client helps you attract high paying and high quality clients. I also share how content, language, and visibility naturally fall into place once you are clear on who you are speaking to.If you have been feeling scattered, underpaid, or unsure about your next move, this episode will help you step into 2026 with focus, confidence, and intention.

This is the audio from an amazing webinar I did with Alloy Health. I was so fortunate to be interviewed by their community leader, Rachel Hughes. What I'm seeing clearly is that Gen X is leading the menopause conversation — we're asking better questions, demanding better answers, and refusing to be dismissed. At the same time, Millennials are shifting the focus toward prevention, not just treating disease after it shows up. That mindset matters, and it's changing healthcare. I talk a lot about why self-care isn't indulgent — it's essential if you want to thrive in midlife and beyond. That starts with education. You cannot make informed decisions about your body if no one ever taught you how hormones actually work. Hormones are not just reactive tools — they can be preventative, supporting long-term health when used thoughtfully and appropriately. Progesterone and testosterone play real, meaningful roles in women's health, and vaginal estrogen is both safe and incredibly effective for many women — despite how rarely it's discussed. We also have to talk about sex. Communication is foundational to a fulfilling sex life in midlife, and silence only benefits outdated narratives, not women. The bottom line? You have more control over your health than you've been led to believe. Empowerment doesn't come from perfection — it comes from understanding your body and advocating for yourself in a system that often won't do it for you.

At 26 years old, Chris Wark woke up from a colonoscopy and heard words no purpose-driven Christian expects to hear: “You have stage 3 colon cancer.”What happened next is the part that will stop you.After surgery, he was told chemo was the only path forward. His first meal in the hospital? A sloppy joe. His surgeon's only food advice? “Just don't lift anything heavier than a beer.”Chris walked out and made a prayerful decision that sounded “insane” to his oncologist… and then rebuilt his life with the simple, daily choices that have helped him thrive for over 20 years.In this episode of Power On Plants, Chris of ChrisBeatCancer talks straight with Jarrod and Anita about: • the “chemo train” and how fear steals control • the victimhood message that leaves people powerless when faced with a "chronic" diagnosis • why family history is not a life sentence • the daily routine that made lasting change doable (including his famous giant salad that he ate daily) • “truth is simple, lies are complicated” (and what to do with that)If you're a Christian leader or Kingdom entrepreneur carrying real responsibility, this conversation is the hopeful health reset you've been praying for. This episode shares Chris's personal story and is not medical advice. Always talk with your healthcare provider about diagnosis and treatment decisions.

In this episode, we unpack the theology of idolatry and how certainty, patriarchy, and supremacy culture shape the way many Christians talk about God. From gendered God-language to rage-driven faith, this conversation exposes how defending beliefs often replaces genuine worship. If you're navigating deconstruction, reconstruction, or questioning Christian certainty, this episode will hit home. Subscribe for more!

In this episode of the You Are Not Broken podcast, Kelly Casperson and Dr. Mariza Snyder discuss the transformative journey of women navigating perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Mariza shares her personal experiences with chronic migraines and how they led her to become a functional medicine practitioner focused on women's health. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding hormonal changes, the impact of chronic stress, and the necessity of movement and nutrition in reclaiming health. Dr. Mariza encourages women to envision their future selves and take ownership of their health journeys, while also addressing the societal pressures that contribute to stress and unhealthy habits. Takeaways Dr. Mariza's journey from chiropractic to functional medicine was driven by her own health struggles. Chronic migraines often affect women in perimenopause due to hormonal changes. Empowering women through health can create a multiplier effect in communities. Movement is essential for recovery and overall well-being. Functional health practitioners focus on root causes rather than just symptoms. Women often feel pressured to be busy, which can lead to chronic stress. Adrenal fatigue is not a recognized medical diagnosis, but stress impacts health significantly. Nutrition plays a crucial role in managing health, especially regarding processed sugars. Insulin resistance is a growing concern for women in midlife. Reading and self-education can empower individuals to take control of their health.

In this extra special episode, not only are we releasing it on Christmas (Merry Christmas if you're listening today!), but I'm joined by my husband, Chris, for a heartfelt and practical conversation about health, wealth, and everything in between. After 30 years together (yes, since high school!) and over 20 years of marriage, Chris and I have learned a lot about building a life, a family, and several businesses together. In this episode, we open up about our journey – the wins, the mistakes, and the lessons learned – especially when it comes to money, mindset, and financial health. Chris shares his expertise as a financial broker, and we both get real about the mindset shifts that helped us move from financial stress to confidence. Whether you're an entrepreneur, an employee, or somewhere in between, there's something here for you. Key Topics: Why health and wealth are so deeply connected, and how stress about money can impact your wellbeing (and vice versa) Our personal story: from being stuck in the "hamster wheel" to building multiple businesses and getting out of debt The importance of financial literacy, especially for women and entrepreneurs How we teach our kids about money, investing, and setting up for the future (even if you feel like you started late) The real deal on banks, RRSPs, TFSAs, insurance, and why having the right accountant can change everything How to spot "money leaks" in your life and business, and simple steps to plug them Why your financial plan should be as unique as you are – and how to start building one, no matter where you're at Chapters: 1:50 - Our Story: 30 Years Together 3:36 - Health & Wealth: The Connection 11:20 - Breaking the Hamster Wheel 12:14 - Financial Foundations & Money Leaks 15:38 - Long-Term Goals & Retirement Reality 27:03 - Investing Early & Teaching Our Kids 35:43 - Tax Strategies & Business Structure 49:50 - Building a Personalized Financial Plan Let's dive in!

Send us a textIn this episode, I'm concluding our three-part series on Ayurveda and perimenopause with a deep dive into ojas — the subtle essence that governs vitality, immunity, resilience, and emotional steadiness.We're recording in the dark days of winter here in the Northern Hemisphere, and I begin by reflecting on how seasonal rhythms mirror the inner transitions many of us experience during perimenopause. Just as nature turns inward in winter, this phase of life invites us to slow down, listen more closely, and tend ourselves with greater care.In Ayurveda, perimenopause is not seen as a problem or a decline, but as a time of refinement — a transition into a wiser, more conserving phase of life. Ojas becomes especially precious during this time, as rising vata (air and space) can draw on our reserves of vitality if we're not supported.In this episode, we explore:What ojas is from an Ayurvedic perspective — physically, energetically, and emotionallyWhy perimenopause is considered an ojas-sensitive windowHow hormonal shifts, stress, sleep disruption, and midlife responsibilities can affect ojasThe relationship between rasa dhatu, agni, and ojasSigns of ojas depletion — emotionally and physicallyThe difference between para ojas (essential, life-sustaining) and apara ojas (day-to-day, replenishable vitality)How ojas depletion can show up differently through vata, pitta, and kapha qualitiesGentle, realistic ways to rebuild and protect ojas during perimenopauseWhy this phase is not a depletion story, but a recalibration of energy and vitalityThis episode is an invitation to soften the narrative around perimenopause and to see it as a meaningful turning point: a time to protect the sacred nectar of vitality so we can move into the next phase of life feeling steadier, resourced, and radiant.Resources mentioned:Free download: A Gentle Ayurvedic Guide to Perimenopause: Five Ways to Support Your Nervous System and DigestionSelf-abhyanga (oil massage) practicesPrevious episodes in this series on Rasa and AgniIf this episode resonates with you, I'm also quietly preparing a spring offering that weaves together one-on-one Ayurvedic consultations, group support, yoga, somatic practices, and seasonal rhythm — you can join my mailing list to learn more when it's ready.Join the WAITLIST for Rhythm & RItual: an Ayurvedic Journey for PerimenopauseThank you so much for listening and for walking this transition with curiosity and care.Resources:Ayurvedic Dosha Quick Reference Guide Abhyanga Self Massage Guide Weekend Nervous System Reset Nourished For Resilience Workbook Find me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram
As we celebrate the holidays and the year comes to a close, I reflect on the journey behind my book, Your Journey to Financial Freedom, and share why the upcoming paperback edition feels especially meaningful. I also open up about what financial freedom looks like beyond hitting a specific number, why flexibility and choice matter more than perfection, and how having a framework not a rigid plan has helped me adjust as life has changed. This episode is both a behind-the-scenes look at the book and a reminder that meaningful progress starts by simply beginning. In this episode, I discuss: Why I wrote Your Journey to Financial Freedom and the gap I wanted it to fill beyond the podcast How my life and mindset have shifted since the hardcover release and why pivots are a natural part of the journey What's new in the paperback edition, including updated numbers, a bonus chapter, and a built-in book club guide Why planning for uncertainty is just as important as planning for growth How financial independence is really about having choices, not just reaching a FIRE number What's New in the Paperback Edition of Your Journey to Financial Freedom: A bonus chapter: When Life Happens: Staying on the Path to Financial Freedom Through Setbacks, Shifts, and Uncertainty A book club and discussion guide with prompts, exercises, and action steps Updated corrections from the original hardcover Exclusive bonuses when you purchase the paperback, including: The Fire Starter Course The Find Your FIRE Number Worksheet Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Get your paperback edition of Your Journey To Financial Freedom if you haven't already.

I just wrapped 6 years of podcasting!!! Episode 350 marks a major milestone for You Are Not Broken: six years, 350 episodes, and a whole lot of growth—personally, professionally, and culturally. In this end-of-year “big winter blowout,” Dr. Kelly Casperson reflects on what 2025 brought, what changed (for better and worse), and why continuing to speak up for women's health still matters more than ever. From world events that shaped the year to personal health wins (yes, including her first colonoscopy), Dr. Casperson shares an honest recap of the moments that mattered. She celebrates big professional milestones—like opening the Casperson Clinic, publishing her second book, winning a podcast award, and helping remove outdated FDA boxed warnings on hormone therapy—while also naming the frustrations, resistance, and misconceptions that persist. This episode also looks ahead: new courses, retreats, sexual health innovations (including a vibrator!), and the continued expansion of education around hormones, sex, and aging. Anchoring it all is a reminder from Theodore Roosevelt's Man in the Arena: progress belongs to those willing to show up, be imperfect, and keep going. Six years and 350 episodes of You Are Not Broken A candid end-of-year reflection on 2025 and the state of the world “Baby's first colonoscopy” and why health screenings matter Travel highlights, including Sydney and the Opera House Publishing a second book and opening the Casperson Clinic Major personal health improvements through strength training and lifestyle changes The book "you are not broken" winning an award and hosting a second annual retreat in Sedona Three separate FDA engagements—and successfully removing outdated boxed warnings on hormone therapy The biggest misconception about FDA changes and how fast (and messy) change can be A frank moment of accountability (and humor) around language and advocacy Updates from the Casperson Clinic, waitlists, and the subscription-based care model Addyi approval for postmenopausal women The future of online education, including upcoming “Summer School” hormone courses Takeaways from male-dominated FDA panels and what they miss What's next: retreats, documentaries, new courses, and new products The top five most-listened-to You Are Not Broken episodes of 2025 Should I Take Hormones? (Ep. 328) How (and Why) to Prescribe Hormones (Ep. 318) GLP-1s with Dr. Salas-Whalen (Ep. 329) Getting Better at Sex – Part One (Ep. 333) Perimenopause Is Real (Ep. 324) New online courses covering testosterone for women, female sex education, GSM, perimenopause, and hormones for longevity A retreat in Whistler (August 2026 — limited spots remaining) The M Factor 2.0: Before the Pause (premieres expected early 2026) A sex education course with Commune launching in 2026 And yes—building a vibrator Dr. Casperson closes with Theodore Roosevelt's Man in the Arena, a reminder that meaningful change doesn't come from critics on the sidelines—it comes from those willing to step into the work, get messy, make mistakes, and keep advocating anyway.

In this solo episode, I reflect on a deeply personal trip back to my home island of Jamaica following a devastating hurricane. What began as a planned celebration for my younger sister's 30th birthday became a powerful homecoming filled with mixed emotions, difficult decisions, and meaningful moments of family, service, and reflection. I share the internal debate I faced about whether to still travel after the storm, how I ultimately decided to go, and what the experience revealed to me about community, resilience, gratitude, and wealth beyond money. From being reunited with all my siblings in one place, to giving back through supplies and local spending, to leaning on my village back home as a mother of three, this episode is a reminder that financial freedom is meant to support a full, connected life.

Lack of willpower is not why inflammation keeps coming back.You are disciplined where it counts. You lead teams. Build vision. Carry spiritual responsibility. You do hard things without blinking. So when inflammation, fatigue, joint pain, or rising labs keep resurfacing, it creates a deeper frustration. Because your body is supposed to support the assignment God gave you, not slow it down.For high-capacity leaders, inflammation is rarely about lacking effort. It is due to a real strategy gap.Restriction, more supplements, and pushing harder do not resolve chronic inflammation. They exhaust disciplined people while leaving the real drivers untouched...In this episode of Power On Plants, we unpack what inflammation actually is, why it becomes chronic, and how whole food plant based nutrition works with the body to calm it naturally and sustainably.You will learn:• Why inflammation lingers even in disciplined, faith-filled lives• Why removing foods alone does not restore health• How whole plant foods actively address healing… at the root• Why supplements and restriction fail leaders long term• How upgraded meals create consistency without deprivationWe're sharing the practical examples for upgrading your familiar comfort foods in the simple, exciting way. This is the system for restoring energy, reducing inflammation, and simultaneously meeting high flavor standards! Your calling deserves food you genuinely enjoy and the body that can fully carry it.This episode is for Christian leaders and Kingdom entrepreneurs who know their calling is bigger than their body's current physical capacity.Do you refuse to let you body become the bottleneck in their Kingdom impact?If inflammation, fatigue, joint pain, or a growing list of diagnoses have been quietly limiting your capacity, this conversation will bring hope, clarity, and the optimal way forward.Listen now and take the next strategic step toward food that finally works with your body and your calling.
In this episode of the Get Strong podcast, host Jessie Mershon discusses the importance of managing expectations in motherhood and life. She emphasizes the need to lower unrealistic expectations to avoid feelings of defeat, especially during busy seasons like the holidays. Jessie shares personal insights on how social media can distort our perceptions of success and happiness. She encourages listeners to prioritize their mental health, find balance, and create their own version of holiday magic without social media pressures. takeaways Expectations can lead to feelings of defeat if set too high. Social media often creates unrealistic standards for parenting and life. Lowering expectations can improve mental health and happiness. It's important to pivot and adapt when things don't go as planned. Self-care is crucial for managing stress and expectations. Recognizing the season of life you're in helps in setting realistic goals. Saying no to commitments can be a form of self-care. Creating your own traditions can lead to more joy during the holidays. Expectations should encourage growth, not hinder it. You are worthy of joy and happiness, regardless of external pressures. 00:00 Navigating Expectations in Motherhood and Life 03:09 The Impact of Social Media on Our Expectations 05:59 Lowering Expectations for Better Mental Health 08:47 Finding Balance During Busy Seasons 12:05 Reevaluating Expectations for Joy and Growth 14:56Creating Your Own Holiday Magic Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode with someone who needs encouragement.

In this week's solo episode, I'm diving into something many of us feel, but don't always say out loud holiday money anxiety. This season can be full of joy, nostalgia, and family connection, but it can also bring up guilt, pressure, overspending, and emotional triggers that hit our wallets hard. So today, I'm sharing honest reflections on the expectations we carry, the emotional weight of holiday giving, and how I personally navigate the overwhelm of gifting, family obligations, and wanting to "do enough" without draining my finances or my energy. I walk you through practical strategies for shifting your mindset, breaking old patterns, and giving yourself permission to rethink how you show up this season. In this episode, I discuss: Guilt-free gifting: How to focus on intention instead of price tags, and ways to simplify gifts especially for kids who may value the moment more than the item itself. Setting family & personal boundaries: What to say when you want to keep things simple, stick to a budget, or opt out without shame. Overspending triggers: Why boredom, stress, nostalgia, and scarcity mindset push us to buy more and how to create friction to avoid impulse purchases. Reframing the season: How to shift from "stuff" to connection, small rituals, meaning, and presence. Planning ahead for next year: Using what you spent this season to set realistic expectations and savings goals for the future.
