On Ask Win today (Saturday, September 26, 2026), Best-Selling Author, Win C welcomes Elyssa Schneider. Elyssa is a health advocate and educator focused on raising awareness about the connection between environmental toxicity and mental health. Her work grew out of her own 28-year struggle with depression and her experience addressing mercury and lead exposure as part of her personal health journey. After seeing profound changes in her own life, Elyssa began supporting others who were searching for answers to persistent symptoms and witnessed meaningful transformations as they explored and addressed heavy metal exposure.  Today, she helps individuals and families become more informed, ask better questions, navigate available testing and professional resources, and feel less alone in the process. Elyssa combines personal experience, ongoing education, holistic health principles, and a faith-based perspective to encourage people to take a more proactive role in understanding their health. To learn more about Elyssa email her at elyssapr@gmail.com

Depression can feel like a life sentence, especially when you do everything “right” and nothing really changes. We sit down with Alisa Schneider, who shares a raw, honest story that starts with unexplained sadness at nine years old and stretches into nearly three decades of trying to power through, trialing medication, and chasing solutions that never fully touch the pain.

Then a clinic runs the kind of testing she had never been offered before and everything shifts: toxic heavy metal levels, specifically lead and mercury, show up “off the charts.” We talk about heavy metal toxicity and mental health, why stored toxins can be missed by a standard blood test, and what a provocation heavy metal test looks like in real life, including a chelation dose followed by a timed urine collection. Alisa also explains chelation therapy in plain language, what it is, what it is not, and how her symptoms changed once the metal burden started coming down.

We also zoom out into environmental medicine, everyday exposure sources (think old paint, pipes, and mercury dental fillings), and why so many people never get evaluated for toxins when they are struggling with depression, anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, or brain fog. Along the way, I share how this conversation ties into my own health planning, surgery stress, and the bigger question of what our bodies have been carrying since childhood.

On Ask Win today (Wednesday, September 23, 2026), Best-Selling Author, Win C welcomes Herbert Heagh-Avritt. Herbert is a cognitive brain training coach, speaker, and traumatic brain injury survivor who has firsthand experience rebuilding his own brain function and regaining his capacity for life. Today, as a “personal trainer for your brain,” Herb shows other TBI survivors how to strengthen cognitive function, rebuild capacity, and discover what may still be possible for their lives. To learn more about Herbert visit http://herb-brain-training.vibepreview.com

A brain injury can take more than memory, it can take your emotional control, your work, your routines, and the feeling that you’re still you. Herbert Hay Averett joins us to tell the full story behind his snowboarding crash, the years of confusion that followed, and the moment he realised motivation alone was not restoring his cognitive capacity. He shares what the dark stretch looked like, what kept him here, and why the road back often comes in slow, hard-earned steps.

We talk about neuroplasticity in plain language and why “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” is simply wrong. Herbert explains how he discovered the Kennedy Method and combat brain training, and what changed when he started exercising multiple cognitive processes at once, including working memory, anticipation, focus, and processing speed. The surprising part is how these shifts show up in everyday life: cooking dinner faster, completing projects without getting lost, and getting distance from the loud, negative internal voice many TBI survivors recognise.

We also zoom out to veterans dealing with repetitive concussive trauma, depression, homelessness, and a suicide rate that should stop all of us in our tracks. Finally, we dig into who this kind of cognitive training may help, including people with ADHD, autism, disabilities, and even those who simply want a stronger, more efficient brain.

Your website can look perfect and still be impossible for someone to use. That gap is where trust breaks, sales disappear, and people with disabilities get silently shut out. I sit down with Boris Rudelson, owner of Abris Consulting, to talk about what website accessibility really means for small businesses and why ADA-aware design is becoming a baseline, not a bonus.

We get into the practical side of accessible web design: what business owners miss, how accessibility affects real customers, and why “I didn’t know” is such a common and costly problem. Boris shares how he learned more about accessibility requirements, why he now educates clients, and how simple improvements can make a site clearer, safer, and easier to navigate.

Then we connect accessibility to growth. Boris explains why SEO only works when you first find what makes a business different, and he tells a story about a young electrician whose website focused on EV charging stations and generators, driving a major share of new business. We also talk about how I browse the web using speech-to-text and regular tools like Chrome, where AI helps, where it fails, and why smarter word prediction would reduce friction for everyone, not just disabled users. We wrap with options like accessibility widgets and extensions that can add user controls such as font size and contrast.

If you care about ADA compliance, inclusive design, small business SEO, and building a website that real humans can use, this conversation will sharpen how you think about “good” web design. Subscribe, share this with a business owner, and leave a review with one accessibility feature you wish every site had.

Money can feel like a moral test. Selling can feel pushy. And even when you are good at what you do, something inside can still freeze when it is time to make an offer. We sit down with Catherine Clift, a wealth mindset coach, to name what is really happening under the surface: subconscious money blocks, worthiness wounds, and the fear based stories that keep smart, caring people stuck in avoidance.

Catherine shares her winding road through career changes, a long stretch in a call center, and the moment she discovered the Sedona Method release technique through an “abundance course” that challenged her old beliefs about being spiritual versus being successful. We dig into the difference between gripping your feelings for familiarity and choosing to let go for freedom, plus why happiness comes first and abundance follows. If you have ever thought money will finally make you feel safe, this conversation flips that script in a way that is both grounded and hopeful.

We also go personal: Catherine opens up about alopecia areata and the mirror work that helped her rebuild self love, while Wynne shares a raw story of cerebral palsy, family trauma, reporting abuse, and learning to live with resilience instead of bitterness. You will hear a guided “letting go” exercise you can try along with us, designed to soften anger and bring real relief in minutes.

Your body might be telling the truth long before your thoughts catch up. Andrew joins us to connect the dots between trauma stored in the body, chronic stress patterns, and the way pain, digestion, and anxiety can quietly become “normal” over time. We talk about healing as a kind of inner time travel: meeting the earlier you with better tools, better language, and more compassion.

We dig into Chinese medicine as a map for mind-body health, including a powerful idea: the colon as grief. That leads to a candid conversation about gut symptoms, emotional constriction, and how anger and loss can live in the nervous system and fascia. Andrew also shares a perspective on ancestral influence and vagal tone, using a musician’s lens to describe what peace “sounds” like versus anxiety and how the vagus nerve can be gently retuned.

You’ll also get practical, listener-friendly takeaways. Andrew explains how to begin taking a Chinese pulse as a form of meditation and self-listening, plus why joint pain often requires treating above and below the problem area. We cover at-home somatic trauma release tools like a chi machine, vibration plate, and rebounder, and we close with breathing retraining using a high altitude training mask to support relaxation through healthier CO2 tolerance. If you want actionable steps for nervous system regulation, holistic healing, and trauma-informed self-care, this one is for you.

On Ask Win today (Tuesday, September 1, 2026), Best-Selling Author, Win C welcomes Willie Blake. Coach Willie is a dyslexic performance coach, speaker, and podcast host who helps dyslexic and neurodivergent professionals get out of their own head and into motion. Diagnosed with dyslexia himself, Willie spent years thinking he was behind before realizing his brain was built differently, not broken. Through his GPS Method, one on one coaching, and his podcast Light Beyond Limits, he helps people get clear, find their path, and actually start moving. Willie believes the brain everyone told you was the problem might be your greatest advantage. To learn more about Willie visit http://coachwillieblake.com

We talk about what it really takes to build a platform around disability, accessibility and the people who carry the load behind the scenes. Coach Will and I get honest about dyslexia, cerebral palsy, the resource cliff after 18 and why I’m choosing caregivers as my true niche moving forward. 

• Coach Will’s background as a dad, coach, speaker and podcast host 
• Dyslexia challenges and advantages, then leading with it 
• Why community matters for disabled people and families 
• Why I started podcasting after publishing my book 
• The myths and assumptions people place on disability in hospitals and rehab 
• The conversation that sticks with me most and why first episodes matter 
• Titles that feel true, and titles younger us never expected 
• The lack of adult resources after 18 for disability and dyslexia 
• My decision to become a cheerleader for caregivers and parents 
• Caregiver burnout, low pay and why support has to include the supporters 
• Where to find Coach Will and his podcast

Doctors once refused to test Nick Kelly for cystic fibrosis because of a dangerous assumption about who can have CF. His mom did the research, pushed for answers, and changed the course of his life. Nick joins us with a rare blend of credibility: he’s a 39-year-old man living with cystic fibrosis and a registered dietitian who understands both the patient seat and the clinician seat.

We get practical about what cystic fibrosis actually does to the body, from thick, sticky mucus in the lungs to impacts on the pancreas and GI system. Nick walks through the real-world routine behind “pulmonary hygiene,” including airway clearance tools like the vibrating vest, breathing treatments such as albuterol, and devices that use pressure to help loosen mucus. If you’ve ever wondered what CF care looks like day to day, this conversation turns medical jargon into clear, human language.

Then we zoom out to the bigger picture: the communication gap between clinicians and patients. Nick explains why misunderstandings happen so easily, how compassion and clarity improve patient outcomes, and why living on both sides of healthcare can be a superpower. We also talk about purpose and productivity with disability, how to find your passion by trying more things, and how hope holds up even when uncertainty and hospital stays are part of the calendar. Hear it, share it with someone who needs it, and then subscribe, leave a review, and tell us: what helps you feel hopeful when life gets unpredictable?

My knee is at the point where I can’t ignore it anymore, and saying that out loud is hard. We share a real life update about worsening knee pain, instability, and the possibility that the next step is a knee replacement. I describe what it feels like when your knee clicks, pops, and won’t “find itself,” even after prior reconstruction surgery and implanted hardware, and why that daily struggle can turn simple things like sitting down into a constant negotiation with your body. 

We also get practical about cerebral palsy and orthopedics: why X-rays and MRIs don’t always show the full story when hardware is in the way, how to think about second opinions, and what it can take to find a doctor who understands CP biomechanics. I talk about what we tried, including Botox for spasticity and a toe contracture, why it didn’t work, and why surgery may be the only real fix for the toe. We also share the very real wildcard that nobody warns you about enough: insurance approval and how it can dictate the order of toe surgery versus knee surgery. 

There are bright spots too. I’m finally getting in and out of caregiver vehicles with help, we’ve got a long-awaited friend visit coming up, and we’re staying busy and stable even while hiding from the Arizona heat. Daniel checks in, we touch on the “who is Matt?” question without forcing the story before it’s ready, and we celebrate Danielle’s work bringing bubbles to kids. If you’re navigating chronic pain, disability, or major surgery decisions, listen along, then subscribe, share, and leave a review to help more people find us.

Abuse, disability, and trauma have a way of twisting the story we tell about ourselves until one clear answer snaps everything into focus. Wynn sits down with Amelia, CEO and founder of Evolve Ventures Technologies, for a raw conversation about surviving harm, living as a disabled adult, and reclaiming neurodiversity as a real strength instead of a label that limits you.

On Ask Win today (Saturday, July 4, 2026), Best-Selling Author, Win C welcomes Emilia Smith. True high performance isn’t about hiding your vulnerabilities; it is about converting them into your competitive edge. Emilia Smith built a career operating across high-stakes industries like neuroscience, biotechnology, and aviation... all while quietly navigating 21 years of chronic traumatic memory loss (and the mental health challenges that came with it). By refusing to mask her neurodivergence, she unlocked a data-backed blueprint for sustainable leadership that resonates with corporate executives and neurodivergent professionals alike. Today, as a certified trauma recovery coach, CEO of Evolve Ventures Technologies, and host of a Top 200 global podcast with over 400 episodes, Emilia bridges the gap between boardroom metrics and cognitive reality. She proves that nervous-system compliance, emotional safety, and radical self-awareness are the ultimate keys to unlocking elite human performance. To learn more about Emilia visit https://evolveventurestech.com/

Amelia shares her experience of chronic traumatic memory loss and the long road to understanding how trauma can reshape the brain, including how memory and threat systems get rewired. Wynn connects that to her own journey with cerebral palsy, from early moments of realizing her body moved differently, to the adult reality of needing help with daily tasks, and the shock of experiencing emotional and physical abuse. We also talk about what happens when you are both a mandatory reporter and the person who needs protection, why Adult Protective Services can feel terrifying, and how much courage it takes to speak when your nervous system wants to freeze.

One of the biggest takeaways is about anger. We don’t treat it as something to fear or suppress, but as a signal that your values matter and that something needs to change. We also dig into inner child healing, anxiety that gets dismissed, and why trauma-informed support can make all the difference, especially during vulnerable moments like medical care. We wrap with practical ways to connect, including Amelia’s free consultation and community resources, plus a push for accessibility through video podcasting and captions.

He went looking for less stress and ended up in the FBI. Retired agent Eric Robinson joins us to tell the true story behind a career jump that sounds impossible on paper: Baptist pastor one Sunday, FBI Academy in Quantico the next, then years spent investigating drug cartels, gangs, public corruption, organized crime, crimes against children, financial crimes, and national security. If you have ever wondered whether you can outgrow a calling and still serve people with integrity, this conversation is for you.

We talk candidly about burnout and compassion fatigue, including why carrying other people’s pain in ministry triggered daily headaches and why those symptoms vanished the day Eric got accepted as an FBI agent. From there we get into the reality of FBI SWAT life, the adrenaline and the aftermath, plus what it is like to face the darkest cases without losing yourself. Eric also shares what sex trafficking stings looked like on the ground, how trauma shapes the choices of vulnerable teens, and why rapport-building and simple kindness can make the difference between silence and a conviction.

You will also hear what the FBI hiring process demands, from education and background checks to the nerve-racking polygraph, and why Eric believes justice can be part of faithful service. We close on a challenge that applies to every job, every community, and every relationship: stay curious, treat people like humans, and choose compassion in the small moments.

Coming out can be risky even when you already know who you are. Win sits down with Eliza for a candid, sometimes funny, sometimes heavy conversation about what it took to live openly as a gay woman after growing up with a homophobic parent, and why she waited until after her dad died to come out. Pride Month is the backdrop, but the heart of this talk is everyday safety, family grief, and the kind of acceptance that changes how you breathe in your own life.

We also get practical about LGBTQ+ allyship and how to support the community without being intrusive, fake, or performative. Eliza lays out a simple approach: make contact, be kind, give people space, and let trust do its work. We dig into how to learn about identity and sexuality without overwhelming yourself, why pressure can push people back into hiding, and what “I’m here for you” looks like when you actually mean it.

Then we widen the lens to disability advocacy and cerebral palsy, including what happens when healthcare treats CP like it only belongs in childhood. We talk wheelchairs, mobility, chronic pain, and the reality of navigating hospitals while worrying about bias. If you care about inclusive healthcare, disability rights, LGBTQ+ support, and honest conversations about faith and resilience, you’ll find a lot to sit with here.

Danielle landed a radio interview and I hadn’t even heard it yet, so we press play on the story behind the story. What starts as a quick recap turns into a real look at how local media moments can boost confidence, widen visibility, and shine a light on disability inclusion work that actually changes lives.

We talk about what the interview focused on, including Best Buddies and the personal connection that made the segment feel meaningful instead of performative. Danielle also got to sing her own songs on air, which is its own kind of brave, and we share the details on her next round of DJ duties coming up on May 3 and May 5. If you love behind-the-scenes podcast conversations, artist journeys, and community-centered storytelling, this one has all of it.

Then I drop a surprise announcement Danielle doesn’t know is coming: we’re renaming the podcast to reflect what’s already true, that we co-host this together. The rebrand is about credit, clarity, and building something that feels honest for long-time listeners and brand-new ones. Also, yes, Arizona decides to add dramatic rain and wind right in the middle of our recording.

Stick around to hear what we’re changing, why we’re changing it, and what we’re covering next, including Special Olympics and Special Olympics snowboarding. If you enjoy the show, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find us.

Foot pain sounds simple until you’re the one staring at your shoes thinking, “I can’t do this today.” We’re checking in with a blunt, personal update on severe bunion pain, what the podiatrist says, and why we’re trying hard to keep surgery as a last resort. Recovery isn’t just inconvenient, it can mean months off your feet, lost strength, and a huge hit to independence. After a past hip replacement spiral that ended with aspiration pneumonia and an ICU stay, the risk calculation looks very different.

Then we pivot to the other half of the same problem: transportation. If you don’t have reliable mobility, every medical decision gets heavier. We talk about raising money through a GoFundMe, visiting a dealer, and trying to line up a wheelchair accessible van in Phoenix, Arizona. We get specific about what “handicapped accessible vehicle” needs to include, from a ramp to a workable seating and transfer setup. We also share what we’re looking for brand-wise, why a newer Chrysler Pacifica is the goal, and why the used market can be a minefield when you’ve already dealt with breakdowns.

We also touch the real-world obstacles people rarely say out loud: grant hunting, credit issues, the need for a co-signer, and the safety concerns that come with ride share, especially as a woman. If you’ve ever dealt with chronic pain, disability logistics, or just the stress of keeping your life moving when your body refuses to cooperate, this conversation will feel familiar.

Tomorrow the cast comes off, and that one moment has me thinking about everything at once: healing, mobility, patience, and what it means to live with cerebral palsy while your body forces you to slow down. I’m home after a hip replacement and hamstring lengthening, following a month in the hospital, and I’m walking you through the real in-between stage where you’re not fully “back,” but you’re finally moving toward what’s next.

We get into the practical side of post-surgery recovery: the knee immobilizer, the bandaging questions, the frustration of not being able to do much with a cast, and the relief of knowing the hip replacement feels stable. Then we talk rehab decisions that can make or break momentum, including why neurological physical therapy may be a better fit for CP than standard orthopedic PT, and how it feels to wait for answers while knowing your leg will be weak at first.

The surprise turn is that recovery is also triggering a bigger life update. I’m dropping one project and picking up another as fall approaches, and I’m even making a college major shift that feels like a full reset. If you’re navigating cerebral palsy, disability, surgery recovery, physical therapy, or any life change that demands flexibility, you’ll hear the messy, honest thought process behind rebuilding a plan. Subscribe, share this with someone in rehab, and leave a review with the change you’re trying to make next.

Some days feel like a gauntlet: a hip that’s healing, an incision that went itchy-to-infected, a possible pneumonia flare, and a tangle of OT and PT notes that don’t quite line up. We walked through the whole maze with honesty, humor, and one bright anchor—standing again after a string of setbacks. That single moment of progress reframed the day and gave us a target to steer toward: by April, walk to the bathroom on our own.

We talk about what makes recovery so mentally hard: not just pain or fatigue, but mixed instructions that burn precious energy. Clear occupational therapy goals matter. Accessible physical therapy routines matter. So do the small rituals that keep you going—antibiotics on time, breathing treatments to keep lungs calm, and permission to check in with school tomorrow instead of pushing past exhaustion today. Along the way, a surprise delivery shifts the mood: a cat made of flowers carrying a tiny medical bag, plus chocolates. Support like that is more than cute; it’s fuel for resilience.

We also open the door to what’s next. The show is moving to Tuesdays and Thursdays, and we’re planning a feature on Special Olympics, spotlighting lived experience, training, and community. And yes, there’s a spicy take: Apple’s move into video podcasting doesn’t serve listeners who are driving or juggling life; we’re staying audio‑only to keep the show safe, accessible, and focused. Expect more real talk, fewer medical play‑by‑plays, and steady progress behind the scenes. If this story gave you a nudge—whether you’re navigating rehab, chronic illness, or just a hard week—hit play, share it with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a quick review so others can find the show.

The quiet after a hospital stay can feel louder than the beeps and hall lights. Coming home post–hip replacement and hamstring lengthening, we open up about the messy middle of recovery with cerebral palsy: the hope of cast removal, the wobble of weak muscles, and the puzzle of choosing the right physical therapy. Six weeks plus a few days in, the hip feels secure, but the next move matters—orthopedic PT for joint safety or neurological PT for tone, gait, and motor control. We walk through what each path offers, where they overlap, and how to advocate for a plan that fits a CP body healing from an orthopedic surgery.

We also share the life reframe that follows any major procedure: dropping one project, starting another this fall, and reshaping a college path that better aligns with health and energy. Think of it as changing majors without the meltdown—clear-eyed choices, paced goals, and a schedule that respects rehab. Along the way, we trade small hacks that make a big difference, from retiring the trash-bag shower routine to setting up recovery stations and using movement snacks instead of marathon sessions. The theme is simple and strong: protect the new hip, honor the nervous system, and let purpose guide the calendar.

If you’re navigating CP, orthopedic surgery, or the foggy space between medical timelines and real life, this conversation offers practical takeaways, honest moments, and a reminder that progress is personal.

The first night home after surgery always tells the truth. We’re honest about the itch you can’t scratch, the cast you can’t ignore, and the stubborn hope that keeps you showing up for PT when the bed feels like the only safe place. This update pulls back the curtain on what recovery really looks like—two incisions, a knee immobilizer, and a plan to earn back each step with patience and grit.

We walk through the rehab blueprint: outpatient PT to rebuild strength and mechanics, home PT to reinforce safe movement, and the messy admin that comes with clarifying diagnoses, negotiating PT vs OT, and threading the needle of insurance and scheduling. Along the way, we pivot our academic path toward counseling with a focus on disability, caregivers, and families—because lived experience belongs at the therapy table. That choice comes with real-world fights for tutoring and accessible support, plus the mental load of tracking paperwork, classes, and energy on days defined by pain.

On the home front, we simplify: moving to an all-Apple smart speaker setup to cut friction, planning repairs and device resets for after the cast comes off, and building routines that save willpower for healing. We cap it with a promise—new episodes every Tuesday and Thursday—because consistency builds community and community makes the hard days doable. If you’re navigating recovery, disability advocacy, or just trying to design a home and school life that fits a changing body, this one’s for you.

A single bite changed everything. What began as a straightforward recovery from hip and hamstring surgeries veered into aspiration pneumonia, a fight for air, and a crash course in medical advocacy. We walk you through the minute-by-minute reality: the warning signs that were missed, the plea for intubation that took too long to land, and the moment a routine anesthesia choice nearly collided with a known allergy. It’s unvarnished, emotional, and grounded in practical takeaways you can use if you or someone you love ever faces a similar crisis.

We open up about how a caregiver’s voice can cut through chaos when yours won’t, why documenting allergies and repeating them matters, and how to handle transfers when hospitals are out of ICU beds. From the suction that cleared thick mucus to the sedation that fogged memory, we share the clinical steps alongside the human ones—staying calm, asking direct questions, and pushing for the right level of care. You’ll hear how our aides balanced fear and focus, how a medical liaison showed up before sunrise, and how community support steadied the ground under our feet.

Then we turn to rehab reality: a heavy cast, energy budgeting, and building a plan that integrates physical therapy and occupational therapy when insurance only funds so much. We map out practical strategies for continuity of care, including choosing facilities that fit your needs, pacing progress to protect surgical gains, and preparing for the first days back home. If you’ve navigated disability, chronic illness, or complex post-op care, you’ll recognize the small victories and the stubborn barriers. If you haven’t, consider this a guide to speaking up, writing things down, and not apologizing for persistence.

The countdown is real: I’m heading into a total hip replacement on Monday, and I’m bringing you into the plan, the fear, and the hope. After months of pain and a stubborn leg pulled up by CP tone, the goal is simple but big—get this leg to drop straight and make sitting, standing, and moving a whole lot more human again. I talk through what the surgery involves, why a titanium joint could change everything, and how we’re preparing for the curveballs that come with cerebral palsy.

I share the practical details that matter when your body doesn’t follow the manual: bracing if the leg needs guidance, sleeves to protect skin, and a pain plan that avoids an anesthesia that once sent me to the ICU. There’s a real chance of six weeks in braces, and an equally real chance we skip them if the alignment holds. Either way, I’ve lined up outpatient PT with a team that knows hip replacements and CP, because consistency, careful weight‑bearing, and smart pacing are the path to progress.

Beyond the operating room, this is about rebuilding life. I’ve set targets to return to work and school by mid‑January, with podcasting back on the horizon as soon as the body allows. I also talk honestly about the emotional toll—months in bed, the frustration of dependence, and the messy moments that happen when pain piles up. You’ll hear how I’m documenting recovery with before‑and‑after photos, planning transport, and leaning on community to keep me grounded and accountable.

If you’ve faced surgery, CP spasticity, or just a long season of waiting, this conversation will feel like a hand on your shoulder. Stick around for updates, share your recovery tips, and send some strength my way. If this resonated, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who might need a little hope today.

A fall on a birthday changed everything—and sparked a plan that’s equal parts grit and vision. We open up about living with a hip 50% out of its socket, the decision to move forward with replacement surgery, and the systems we’re putting in place to make recovery sustainable. From pre-op countdowns and pain management to the day-by-day updates we’ll record after surgery, you’ll hear how structure, community, and honest storytelling turn fear into forward motion.

At the same time, we lay out a big academic move: stepping back from work through spring to pursue counseling at Grand Canyon University and reviving a path in fashion communications and styling at the Academy of Art. The cornerstone is inclusion—building disability-forward styling that respects braces and mobility aids, designs for seated wear, simplifies closures, and still looks sharp and personal. We talk about why counseling pairs with fashion: the goal is confidence, self-advocacy, and safety, delivered through practical design and empathetic care.

We also get candid about accessibility in higher education: requesting accommodations, managing timelines around PT and recovery, and navigating FAFSA and student loans without losing momentum. There’s no sugarcoating the friction between disability and college bureaucracy, but there’s also a clear strategy: backup plans, flexible formats, and firm boundaries. Community shows up in powerful ways—from aides and local friends to a hip replacement forum where support flows both directions.

If you’re navigating surgery, balancing school with disability, or curious about adaptive fashion and counseling as a combined path, this conversation offers a grounded map and real talk about the tradeoffs. Subscribe, share this with someone facing a big medical decision, and leave a review with your best recovery tips or accessibility wins—we’ll read our favorites on a future show.

A single change rewrites the whole plan: what started as two surgeries has become one hip replacement, and that clarity ripples through everything—work, school, and the way we make and share our work. We open up about the decision to prioritize healing, the relief of a simpler surgical path, and the honest timelines that follow: earliest return to work in March, with June looking smarter for a full, stable comeback.

We walk through how recovery will actually look, from pre-op clearances to rehab schedules to the choice to avoid hospital Wi‑Fi chaos and record from home and the rehab center instead. Alongside the medical plan, school becomes a new anchor. Communications is the academic focus, with options on the table for a double path—bachelor’s plus master’s or two master’s across schools—depending on how rehab unfolds and what support we can secure from the Office of Disabilities. Access, accommodations, and pacing are non-negotiable, and we share what’s working and what’s not when it comes to getting help.

There’s a backstory, too: a birthday fall, delayed care, and an ER that didn’t believe what the body knew. That experience reshaped how we advocate, prepare questions, and push for answers. On the home front, a broken medical bed and constant logistics test patience, but they’ve also forced a cleaner setup and calmer routines. A flexible online side job will run in the background, with links in the notes, but health leads the strategy. Expect candid updates, realistic goal-setting, and content that respects the energy it takes to heal and learn at the same time.

If you’re juggling recovery, education, and work, this is a roadmap built on pacing, self-advocacy, and sustainable habits. Subscribe to follow the journey, share this with someone facing a tough timeline, and leave a review with your best tip for healing without losing your momentum.

A new name signals a new season—and we’re opening the door on a deeply personal journey. I’m heading into a hip replacement with cerebral palsy on January 12, and I’m inviting you to see the real process: the planning, the pain, the awkward logistics, and the small wins that make recovery possible. No gloss, no vague updates—just clear, candid storytelling that follows the road from hospital to rehab and back to daily life.

We talk through why the rebrand matters and how it connects to a bigger mission: disability awareness that lives in the details. I share where to follow along—YouTube at she13win and short daily clips on TikTok and Shorts—plus the nuts and bolts of filming in medical settings, working around Wi‑Fi limits, and pacing updates around energy. You’ll hear how a birthday became a milestone that links the original injury to a future of full weight on both legs, why chosen family shaped my rehab choice, and how honest community turns isolation into momentum.

This conversation doesn’t hide the tough parts. Daily pain is part of the reality, and so are the unglamorous side quests, like dealing with a yeast infection while prepping for surgery. We get practical about timelines, school decisions, and what stable Wi‑Fi really means when connecting with listeners becomes a form of support. And because hope needs light, we set up a softer, joyful turn next week with a Disney cruise chat to balance the grind of rehab.

If you care about recovery stories, disability advocacy, and the truth behind orthopedic surgery, you’ll feel at home here. Subscribe, share this episode with someone facing rehab, and leave a review with the one question you want answered during the post‑op journey. Your questions will shape what we film and what we explain next.

A new name, a new direction, and a candid plan for a life-changing surgery. We’re opening up about the January 12 hip replacement, how cerebral palsy shapes the rehab roadmap, and why we’re committing to document the good, the bad, and the awkward realities along the way. From navigating inpatient rules to working around shaky hospital Wi‑Fi, we walk through the practical choices that make recovery possible and storytelling honest.

We’re launching a dedicated YouTube channel, she13win, to share short, accessible updates on disability awareness and the day-to-day of post-op life. Expect reflections right after physical therapy, notes on pain management, and the small wins that signal progress: first safe transfer, better sleep positions, and the confidence to bear weight again. You’ll hear how we adapt standard hip protocols to a body that already compensates for CP, and what clinicians look for when aligning mobility goals with spasticity, balance, and fatigue.https://youtu.be/9sTBs-jkuQw?si=FFocrNSO7yAnKCPfhttps://youtu.be/9sTBs-jkuQw?si=FFocrNSO7yAnKCPf

Support systems matter, so we talk about picking a rehab facility with help from our church family, the comfort of familiar halls and staff, and how community lowers stress when everything else feels uncertain. We also get real about timing school around surgery, handling curveballs like a stubborn yeast infection, and protecting energy with short-form content we can sustain through pain and PT. To keep joy in the mix, we tease a light, positive conversation next week about a Disney cruise—because recovery isn’t just milestones and meds, it’s also stories that make the hard days easier.

A birthday fall didn’t seem like a life-changer—until weeks later when pain roared, the knee wouldn’t bend, and the ER’s answers didn’t match what the body was screaming. We walk you through the messy middle: canceled surgery, a psoas impingement label that didn’t fit, a rehab stint that hurt more than it helped, and the relentless push to be heard. When an orthopedic visit finally led to a CT scan, the truth landed with force: the hip had been 50% out of the socket since June.

From there, everything sharpened. We break down the three paths on the table—removing the femoral head, living with a barely functional leg, or committing to a total hip replacement—and why choosing the replacement is the only route back to stability, mobility, and independence. Because cerebral palsy adds muscle spasms that could threaten a new implant, we also share the cast-first plan designed to protect the hip during those crucial early weeks. Expect candid talk about pain management, realistic PT milestones, and a recovery arc that includes six weeks of healing and two weeks of focused rehab.

This conversation is part battle map, part field notes for anyone navigating complex care: why X-rays can miss what a CT reveals, how to advocate when you’re dismissed, and what it takes to align surgeons, insurance, and timing around the holidays. We also look ahead—standing with a walker, getting back to school on a smarter schedule, and releasing a special episode of the birthday speech recorded on day one of the injury. If you’ve ever felt lost in the system or needed a blueprint to push for the right care, this story offers clarity, courage, and a plan.

Some decisions feel like a pivot; this one felt like a reckoning. We open up about stepping away from teaching in Arizona and the mix of policy, practicality, and personal wellbeing that led us here. Arizona’s school choice model promises options, but the way public funds flow out of neighborhood schools has real consequences for teachers and students who rely on consistent support. We walk through how dwindling resources, chronic instability, and a tough licensure calculus made the classroom a hard place to build a sustainable future right now.

You’ll hear why we’re pressing pause on Arizona certification, how we think about teacher burnout beyond buzzwords, and what a healthier system could look like. We also share an honest checkpoint on higher education plans—why early friction with a college can signal deeper misalignment, and how we’re reevaluating programs to find a better fit. On the personal front, a pending orthopedic update shapes the near-term timeline, because being a great educator requires energy, presence, and a plan that respects health realities.

To keep some light in the mix, we tease an upcoming conversation with a Disney superfan who just returned from a dream trip—proof that wonder and play still matter even as we navigate hard choices. If you care about public education, teacher wellbeing, and the real trade-offs behind policy headlines, this story offers a candid look at why a passionate educator might choose another path for now. Listen, share with a friend who’s wrestling with similar choices, and subscribe to stay with us for the health update and the Disney interview.

The body doesn’t wait for perfect timing, and neither do we. This update brings you right into the mess and movement of real life: unclear hip X-rays, a CT scan scheduled for Halloween, and hard choices about partial versus total hip replacement. We talk through pain that steals sleep, the slow march of appointments, and the honest math of rehab—what it takes, what it gives back, and why the mindset you carry is often the strongest medicine.

We also get practical about access. Financing for a vehicle fell through, so we explore family help and simpler options that still get the job done. When you live with disability, transportation is more than convenience—it’s independence and energy saved for what matters. Alongside that, we highlight the paperwork that quietly shapes progress, from emailing doctors to switching dentists. These are the unglamorous steps that keep care moving.

Through it all, the creative heartbeat stays strong across our shows focused on mental health and disability. We’re aiming for 10,000 downloads, not as a vanity metric but as a way to reach more people who need a clear voice and a steady hand. If you’ve ever tried to heal while the rest of life keeps calling, you’ll find solidarity here: small wins, honest setbacks, and a commitment to come back stronger.

A tech hiccup tries to shut us down, and we answer with the story that started everything: two friends who met at Challenge Aspen, found a shared language on the mountain, and built a creative life that refuses to shrink to fit. The real co-host finally steps into the spotlight as we trace the arc from a purple walker on a snowy day to a 28-year friendship that powers books, interviews, and a podcast that became much more than a side project.

We talk about what Challenge Aspen does so well—adaptive skiing, year-round access, and a culture that treats disability as a reason to participate, not opt out. That space shaped how we work today: clear communication, calculated risk, and celebrating small wins that add up to big momentum. You’ll hear how a single book release led to microphones, an unexpected full-time gig, and a co-creator who moved from assistant to on-air partner to author. The theme beneath it all is practical resilience: start where you are, build community, and let feedback guide the next step.

We also go candid on health. Corticosteroid injections are on deck to calm hip and leg pain, with sedation to keep CP from complicating the procedure. We unpack the reality of C diff and why a fecal microbiota transplant might be the exit ramp after brutal rounds of antibiotics. There’s straightforward talk about Botox for spasticity, nerve blocks, and the admin slog of joint consultations, plus the mindset that keeps us steady: advocate clearly, escalate care in sequence, and rest without quitting. If you’re navigating disability, chronic illness, or just a hard season, you’ll find tools you can use and a friendship that models staying power.

If this story moves you, tap follow, share it with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a review to help others find the show. Your support keeps this community strong and the conversation going.

A quiet “wow” turned into a hard-earned milestone: 200,000 downloads. We share the win, then get practical about what comes next—two new shows taking shape, a tighter calendar as school begins, and the real work of staying creative while managing complex care. If you’ve ever juggled ambition with recovery, this one will feel close to the bone.

We unpack the purpose behind a new writing podcast grounded in disability perspective—interviews with authors who navigate craft, access, and the messy middle of making books when your energy and pain fluctuate. We also lay out updates on our mental health series, explaining how we design conversations around simple tools, clear language, and routines that stick. On the logistics side, transportation becomes a key theme: the vehicle application, specialist coordination, and why mobility changes everything from clinic visits to recording days. It’s the unglamorous work that makes the creative work possible.

Health updates are candid and specific. We walk through the latest Botox plan for right-leg spasticity, why the left leg waited, and a follow-up window that may include dose changes and a nerve block. There’s an infectious disease visit aimed at slowing recurrent C. diff, plus a pain management approach that pairs Botox with consistent physical therapy and careful tracking of what actually helps. We keep the conversation grounded in function—less tightness, better sleep, more minutes of ease—so progress has a shape you can feel. With a co-host travel window coming up, expect a mix of joint recordings, solo check-ins, and a few author interviews to keep the momentum moving.

If this mix of honesty, craft, and practical care resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review to help others find us. What author or topic should we tackle first? Your suggestions guide the next round of conversations.

A small “oops” turned into a loud yes. After years of writing through grief, learning by doing, and tapping a purple button that opened a world of audio, we’re launching a show built around one conviction: the craft of writing should be accessible, adaptable, and welcoming to every body. We explore how a tribute to a mother grew into “I, Win,” how strangers used that book to understand cerebral palsy, and why accessibility tools—speech dictation, AAC devices, and iPad-first workflows—aren’t just accommodations; they’re engines for consistent, high-quality creative work.

We dig into the origin story behind “Ask Win,” the mentorship and inspiration we drew from Joanna Penn’s journey into indie publishing, and the gentle shove that came from an accidental $75 podcast hosting purchase. That nudge became a commitment to bring practical, lived guidance to writers navigating disability: how to outline by voice, dictate clean drafts, tame editing without burnout, and design a marketing plan you can sustain. You’ll hear how we plan to release episodes twice a week, invite guests with diverse backgrounds, and keep craft at the center while highlighting real tools and workflows that lower friction and raise output.

If you care about writing but your hands, energy, or time don’t fit traditional routines, this is your space. We’ll share lessons on discoverability, indie publishing strategies, and mindful productivity, plus stories from authors who prove that access unlocks artistry. Come for the tactics, stay for the momentum—and help shape what comes next by telling us what you want to learn. Subscribe, share with a friend who writes, and leave a review so more disabled creators and allies can find this conversation.

A name can change a story—and this one changes ours for the better. Mind Over Her Heart is our commitment to clearer mental health conversations for women and the people who support them, with honest, lived insight into disability, care, and the systems we rely on. We share why the rebrand matters, how it sharpens our mission, and what you can expect from a new cadence: Tuesday and Thursday episodes, with guest conversations on Sundays.

We open with real life: tech hiccups, a raspy voice, and a bronchitis update that doesn’t silence the mic. From there, we go deep into cerebral palsy, unpacking spastic ataxia in plain language—what high muscle tone feels like, how contractures develop, and why metaphors like a “rubber band that won’t give” can help loved ones and clinicians understand. We also demystify Botox beyond beauty, exploring its role in managing migraines and spasticity, and how these decisions support daily function and long-term health. The goal is practical literacy: fewer myths, better conversations, kinder care.

Behind the scenes, we walk through the systems that make the show work. We’re partnering with editor Mark Ronick of I  Ronick Media, building community roots we’ve grown over 15 years in podcasting. We’ve moved our website to Podpage for a single, clean home with built-in players and discovery, and we’re hosting with Blubrry while noting when Buzzsprout or Libsyn may fit different needs. These choices aren’t shiny toys—they’re steady tools that keep the focus on what matters: accessible content, consistent releases, and a welcoming listener experience.

If you care about women’s mental health, disability education, and the practical side of care—from clinics to conference halls—you’re in the right place. Hit follow, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review to help others find Mind Over Her Heart. Your feedback shapes what we explore next.

A routine Botox visit turned into a medical detour when my knee locked and the first diagnosis didn’t fit. What looked like a psoas issue revealed itself as a full-on contracture, and that single word changed everything—treatment, expectations, and the pace of healing. I walk through the exact timeline, what we think happened during the injection, and how a rare nerve hit can spiral into days of pain and weeks of rehab, even when the clinician is skilled and careful.

From there, we get practical. I break down how Botox actually helps spasticity in cerebral palsy, why tone management and physical therapy need to work together, and what a realistic plan for reversing a contracture looks like in the real world. Think gentle, sustained stretches, precise injection strategy, smart positioning, and progress measured in small, steady gains. I share what’s working—meds, heat, patient handling—and what isn’t, including the rehab missteps I’m not ready to detail publicly yet, but that taught me to ask better questions and push for the right label before the wrong protocol sets me back.

Life does not hit pause while bodies heal. I talk about making room for school starting October 23, the never-ending medical paperwork, and a bit of fun I’ve planned next month to remind myself that joy belongs in recovery too. If you’ve lived through misdiagnosis, spasticity, or rehab fatigue, you’ll find both the specifics and the mindset shifts here: get the name right, match the plan to the name, and give it time to work. Listen, then share your own recovery wins, hard lessons, or questions—we learn faster together.

If this resonated, follow the show, leave a quick review, and send the episode to someone who needs a little clarity and a lot of patience today.

Exciting new beginnings are taking shape despite ongoing challenges! I've launched a women's mental health podcast called "A Heart Cup" (previously "She Is Her"), strategically renamed to improve discovery on Apple Podcasts. This new venture fills the extra time during my recovery period, with episodes dropping Mondays and Fridays and interviews conducted on Sundays. Don't worry - "A Winning Heart" remains my primary focus, and I'm being careful not to overwhelm my team (especially Danielle!) with too many simultaneous projects.

My physical recovery continues at its own pace. The leg is improving gradually but still has a way to go before full healing, which I'm hoping will happen by December. Yesterday was particularly difficult - one of those days where everything seemed to go wrong from morning onward. But today feels much better, reminding me that setbacks are temporary and resilience means moving forward despite occasional rough patches.

Alongside podcast development, I'm making my final attempt at completing a communications degree. This means navigating the familiar challenges of disability accommodations, gathering transcripts, and planning a two-hour meeting with the Office of Disabilities. I'm planning to complete coursework primarily using my iPad, which presents its own challenges (and frustrations about Apple's focus on expensive phones rather than affordable computers for students). Despite these obstacles, I'm determined to make it work this time around. Several interviews are lined up for upcoming episodes, so stay tuned for fresh content! Thank you for following along on this journey of recovery, education, and creative expansion - your support means everything.

I'm finally moving in a positive direction with my recovery after breaking my hip in July and can transition from two caregivers down to just one starting next week.

• Struggled with having multiple caregivers in my home when I prefer one-on-one care
• Experienced frustrations at a five-star rated rehab facility that didn't understand how to work with my CP
• Making slow but steady progress with in-home PT, recently celebrated taking a shower independently
• Starting school in October after pushing back the date to allow more recovery time
• Using a specialized splint as part of my rehabilitation process
• Looking forward to Arizona's winter weather after the intense summer heat
• Planning to record solo podcast episodes while my co-host is on a Disney cruise

If you're going through recovery, remember that slow and steady wins the race, and it's important to advocate for the care that works best for your specific needs.

Ever wondered what recovery from a serious leg injury actually looks like? Spoiler alert: it's not the relaxing downtime people imagine! After taking a fall on my birthday, I've been navigating the strange new world of limited mobility, specialized medical equipment, and the frustrating gap between what I want to accomplish and what my body currently allows.

My newest companion is something called a Dynasplint—a massive metal contraption with pulleys designed to gradually stretch my injured leg back to normal. For someone barely five feet tall, this imposing device feels like strapping a small car to my limb! The physical therapists want me wearing it six hours daily, which seems nearly impossible when I can barely manage one hour now. Between hopping on one leg, keeping the other elevated, and trying to build tolerance for this medieval-looking stretching device, each day brings new challenges and small victories.

Despite these obstacles, life doesn't pause for recovery. I'm preparing to start online classes at Grand Canyon University on September 18th, which means scrambling to submit transcripts and coordinate with the Office of Disabilities while managing my physical therapy regimen. My podcast "She Is Her" about mental disabilities continues, though I've had to adjust my publishing schedule to accommodate my new limitations. Recovery has taught me that adaptation isn't optional—it's essential.

The journey of healing rarely follows a straight line, but I'm determined to make progress on multiple fronts simultaneously. Maybe I'll write essays while wearing my Dynasplint—killing two birds with one stone! Have you faced similar challenges balancing recovery with life's ongoing demands? I'd love to hear your stories and strategies for turning obstacles into opportunities. Subscribe to follow my recovery journey and upcoming interviews that promise plenty of the "mess beyond mess" that makes life interesting!

Recovery rarely follows a straight line, as my ongoing health journey continues to remind me. What started as knee surgery in February has spiraled into a complex situation involving a psoas impingement, tendonitis, and an unexpected hip fracture that occurred on my birthday of all days.

From my temporary bed-bound position, complete with monitoring equipment that occasionally beeps in the background, I'm sharing raw updates about my physical condition and the emotional rollercoaster that accompanies prolonged recovery. My leg stubbornly refuses to align properly, though small victories emerge – I can now sit in my chair with my leg elevated and manage a shower with accommodations. These might seem like minor achievements, but when you're navigating life with limited mobility, they represent significant milestones.

The road ahead remains uncertain. Thanksgiving has become my target for substantial improvement, with hopes that my leg will naturally touch the ground by then. My medical team is considering additional surgery to lengthen my hamstrings once we reach that point. Meanwhile, I'm working toward reducing my caregiving needs from two people to one by September 20th, and eventually eliminating the need for pain medications. Despite these challenges, I remain committed to connecting with you through both "A Winding Heart" and my new mental health podcast "She is Her." Join me on this journey of patience, persistence, and small but meaningful steps toward recovery. Your support means everything during this challenging chapter of my story.

Unexpected challenges often lead to newfound purpose. That's the story behind my latest venture—a mental health podcast called "She Is Her" specifically created for women with disabilities. 

From my current bedbound state, I'm launching this platform to address the unique intersection of disability and mental health. Having experienced anxiety and depression alongside my own physical disability, I recognized the need for a space where women could share their stories and connect with others who truly understand. "She Is Her" will air Tuesdays and Thursdays on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, featuring conversations with women brave enough to share their mental health journeys.

My recovery hasn't been straightforward. My orthopedic surgeon recently delivered the disheartening news: "I wish you were doing better at this point." Rather than letting this discourage me, I'm channeling my energy into physical therapy, preparing for eventual hamstring surgery, returning to school for a communications degree, and of course, building this podcast. While physically limited for now, I'm discovering that impact isn't bound by mobility.

If you're navigating the complex terrain of disability and mental health, or if you'd like to share your story on the podcast, please reach out. We can arrange recording sessions via Zoom. Check out "She Is Her" on your favorite podcast platform, and join me in creating a community where vulnerability becomes strength and shared experiences lead to collective healing. Your story matters—let's tell it together.

I recently experienced another bout of pneumonia that led to an unexpected five-day hospital stay after a mobile urgent care visit went sideways. What should have been a simple antibiotic prescription turned into a medical drama when a nurse suggested I might have a blood clot, leading to miscommunication and an ambulance ride.

• High risk for pneumonia due to cerebral palsy, weakened lungs, and being temporarily bed-bound
• Called mobile urgent care when my doctor was unresponsive and previous endocrinologist was unhelpful
• Mobile nurse from Texas (via video chat) escalated situation by suggesting blood clots
• Miscommunication led to signing medical refusal forms and calling an ambulance
• Spent Tuesday through Saturday in the hospital on antibiotics, thankfully avoiding C. diff complications
• Still recovering and exhausted, with compromised voice
• Exciting secret project reveal coming in next week's episode

• Back medication pump trial unsuccessful due to anatomical challenges—may require general anesthesia for next attempt

I'm currently in a rehabilitation facility after experiencing a psoas impingement in my right leg, a painful complication related to my cerebral palsy and recent knee surgery. The impingement, causing my leg to not fully extend to the ground, came after breaking my femur which required six weeks of non-weight bearing and triggered CP-related muscle tone issues.

• Explaining my journey from knee surgery to emergency room visit to current rehabilitation
• Detailing the psoas impingement condition and how it's affecting my mobility
• Undergoing intensive physical and occupational therapy six days a week
• Preparing for possible surgery if the impingement doesn't resolve naturally
• Dealing with insurance requirements to try all conservative treatments first
• Managing muscle spasms alongside the impingement
• Finding parallels with sciatica and understanding that pain more deeply now
• Maintaining positive spirits despite unexpected health challenges
• Looking forward to eventually returning home with improved mobility

Sometimes life takes an unexpected turn that forces you to completely reimagine your future. After being rushed to the hospital following what I thought was just a C. diff recurrence, I received the life-altering news that I now have pancolitis and am permanently colonized with C. diff bacteria.

This episode takes you through my medical journey and the profound decisions that followed. The unpredictable nature of chronic C. diff means traditional employment is no longer viable for me, leading to my official retirement from the workforce. But rather than viewing this as the end of something, I'm embracing new beginnings – pivoting to full-time content creation and returning to school in August to pursue an entirely unexpected degree program.

Throughout our conversation, I share how this health challenge has paradoxically brought clarity and gratitude into my life. There's a cryptic mention of something significant on the horizon involving "more wheels than I'd like to count" – a major life change necessitated by my condition but opening doors to new possibilities. The podcast will take a brief hiatus in July before returning in August with a streamlined format featuring just Danielle and myself.

For anyone facing chronic illness or unexpected life changes, this episode offers a candid look at adapting to new realities. Whether you choose to support the podcast financially or simply by listening and sharing, I'm grateful to have you along for this evolving journey. The path forward may not be what I expected, but I'm determined to make the most of every step.

The silence around mental health issues can be deafening, especially in church communities where people often struggle alone behind a mask of Sunday smiles. This raw, honest conversation breaks open the reality of depression and anxiety among congregation members, offering pastoral care teams crucial insights from someone who's lived this experience.

Depression doesn't always look like sadness—it manifests as withdrawal, lack of motivation, and difficulty participating in church life. "I had difficulty getting out of bed and I honestly thought it was part of cerebral palsy," our speaker reveals, highlighting how mental health symptoms are often misattributed to other conditions. For church leaders, recognizing these subtle signs means noticing when active members suddenly withdraw or when someone seems perpetually disengaged.

Anxiety creates different challenges, instilling fears around church activities many take for granted—approaching the communion rail, interacting after services, or simply being in crowded spaces. The speaker shares personal experiences with medical anxiety and social discomfort, while offering practical guidance for pastoral care teams. From utilizing Psychology Today to find appropriate mental health professionals to understanding medication interactions with communion wine, this conversation provides actionable steps for supporting parishioners through mental health challenges while maintaining appropriate boundaries and confidentiality.

Most powerfully, this discussion emphasizes that breaking the stigma around mental health in church settings isn't just about awareness—it's about creating spaces where people feel truly seen and supported "no matter what shape I'm in." By recognizing the invisible struggles many face, pastoral teams can ensure their churches become sanctuaries for the whole person, mind and spirit alike. Listen now to transform how your congregation approaches mental health care.
