In this deeply moving episode, we sit down with NicCole, a survivor of human trafficking who endured two harrowing years before reclaiming her freedom. Now, she’s turning her pain into purpose. Nicole shares her journey of resilience and how it led to the creation of Here to Help Cards—a life-saving resource for support and safety. This conversation is raw, inspiring, and a testament to the strength of the human spirit. Tune in to hear NicCole’s story and learn how small tools can make a massive difference.

In this deeply personal episode, we confront one of the most misunderstood and stigmatized maternal mental health conditions: postpartum psychosis. Through a firsthand account, with Brenda, we explore the warning signs, the emotional toll, and the urgent need for awareness and support. This is a raw, honest conversation about what happens when childbirth brings not just joy, but unexpected darkness — and how recovery, compassion, and community can light the way forward. 

On this episode, we’ve turned overthinking into an art form and coping into a game. Join us as we dive into chaotic, cringe-worthy, and oddly therapeutic Would You Ratherquestions—because sometimes the best way to deal with life’s messiest moments is by laughing through the most ridiculous choices. It’s catharsis with a twist… and maybe a few existential crises.

"This week, we’re chatting with author Christian Hurst about his writing journey, the ups and downs of creating Lily Starling, and what it was like growing up Mormon—and, much like his book character, how he had to choose his own path. From early influences to the real-life experiences that shape his work, Christian brings humor, honesty, and a ton of insight. Whether you're into books, personal stories, or just good convos, this one's worth a listen.
