74. Testimony | From New Age to True Healing in Christ with Andrea Brunswick

Have you ever felt like nothing you try—self-help books, meditation, or alternative therapies—truly heals the emptiness inside? Like you’re chasing answers that never satisfy, leaving you frustrated, stuck, or even spiritually drained?

In this Testimony Thursday episode, Andrea Brunswick shares her journey from decades of New Age practices, mysticism, and worldly searching, to experiencing true emotional, spiritual, and life-changing healing through Jesus Christ. She opens up about surrendering grief, shame, and identity, and how God restored her purpose and empowered her to help other women reclaim their God-given identity through the Proverbs 31 Reinvention Blueprint.

Andrea’s story is a bold reminder that real healing doesn’t come from the world—it comes from surrendering to God’s plan. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overlooked by worldly solutions, or desperate for lasting transformation, this episode is for you.

Have you ever walked into a doctor’s office already anxious, only to feel pressured into signing forms, taking medications, or agreeing to treatments that didn’t sit right in your spirit? If you’ve ever felt dismissed, overwhelmed, or even coerced by the medical system—you’re not alone.

In this episode, I sit down with transformation coach, author, and podcaster Kristin Fitch, who knows firsthand what it’s like to face medical pressure and choose faith over fear. From standing up for her family when doctors pushed unnecessary vaccines to navigating her father’s health journey with Parkinson’s, Kristin has lived through the tension of medical coercion—and come out with a renewed passion for helping others protect their health, their families, and their faith.

We dive into the practical steps you can take to become your own health advocate:

• How to prepare for appointments so you don’t feel rushed or silenced.
• The questions you must ask before agreeing to medication or treatment.
• Why your mindset and words matter more than you think for your healing.
• Simple daily practices that build real health without overcomplicating it.

If you’ve ever felt powerless in a medical setting, this conversation will remind you that you don’t have to hand over your authority. You’ll walk away encouraged, equipped, and ready to step into your role as your own best advocate—rooted in faith, guided by wisdom, and aligned with the life God designed for you.

The world feels heavy right now—fear, anxiety, division, and constant chaos are bombarding us from every angle. In this episode, I’m addressing the stress, worry, and trauma so many of us are feeling—and sharing biblical and holistic tools to protect your mental, emotional, and physical health.

We’ll dive into:

• How fear, anger, and “doom-scrolling” affect your health, energy, and immune system
• Practical steps to release spiritual and emotional trauma from a faith-led, holistic perspective

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, fear, or the weight of worldly events, this episode will remind you that God has made His home in you, and His truth can anchor your heart, mind, and body in peace and strength.

You don’t have to be defined by fear or division. Anchor yourself in God, stand strong in His truth, and step out as a light in a darkened world.

Have you ever felt burned out, stuck in old habits, or doubted whether you were even capable of real change? In this Testimony Thursday episode, I sit down with my long-time friend Angie Zamora to share her powerful health transformation story.

Angie has joined me for the past two years at my women’s wellness retreat in Costa Rica—and her journey is nothing short of inspiring. From battling fear, self-doubt, and poor health to finding confidence, renewed energy, and a deeper sense of faith, Angie’s story is proof that investing in yourself is never selfish—it’s necessary.

• How community, faith, and time in nature helped her rediscover her worth and confidence
• Why every woman deserves space to rest, reset, and reconnect with God’s design for her health

If you’ve been searching for a sign that it’s time to step away from the noise and prioritize your healing—this conversation will encourage you. Angie’s testimony will remind you that you are worth the investment, and that God can use even the smallest steps to bring about big change.

67. The Truth About Mom Burnout: Why Hormones, Stress, and “Bounce Back” Culture Are Failing Women with Regina Steele

You’ve been told that exhaustion, mood swings, and feeling “off” are just part of motherhood. But what if burnout isn’t normal—and what if the answers go deeper than another prescription or quick-fix plan?

In this episode, I’m joined by Regina Steele, certified integrative health coach, speaker, and mom of three, who turned her own health breakdown into a mission to help other moms heal. After facing postpartum depletion, adrenal dysfunction, and autoimmune diagnoses, she refused to accept that survival mode was her only option. Instead, she rebuilt her health through root-cause healing, hormone support, and nervous system regulation—and now helps other women do the same.

Together we unpack:

• The hidden red flags moms should never ignore when it comes to their health
• Why “bounce back” culture and perfectionist parenting advice are keeping women stuck
• How to start listening to your body again—and trust what it’s telling you
• Simple, natural steps to support hormones and reduce stress
• The power of community and why no mom was meant to do this alone

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, told your labs are “normal,” or pressured to just push through, this conversation will remind you: burnout isn’t normal, and healing is possible.
