Not only did his stories stick with me, but his daily prayer commitment deeply inspired me. “God, give me eyes to see the people who need care today.”

Ron intentionally looks for opportunities to encourage and care for others, and I can't wait to share one of his stories with you,

This episode is just what I needed and I hope it brings you hope and the knowing that there is a world full of people focused on compassion and connection.

This is the point of The Funny Kind™ podcast - to seek out the hope, the light, and the goodness.  Because it's out there - we just need our eyes to see!

Ron is FULL of amazing stories so if you want to hear more from him or his family who share his love of God and storytelling, reach out to Fort Wilderness - I'm sure they would love to send you a copy!

]]> Erica Gumieny Buzzsprout-19251803 Wed, 27 May 2026 20:00:00 -0500 1549 full false Lost and Found - The Journey Back to You | The Funny Kind™ with Erica Gumieny Lost and Found - The Journey Back to You | The Funny Kind™ with Erica Gumieny In this episode of The Funny Kind, I sit down with Carme Pitre, President and CEO of Sojourner Family Peace Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for a powerful and honest conversation about what it really means to feel lost—and how we begin finding our way back.

We talk about how hiding parts of ourselves can be an act of protection… how trauma, pain, and the pressure to perform or fit in can slowly pull us away from who we truly are. What once helped us survive doesn’t always serve us forever—and learning to recognize that shift can feel both brave and unsettling.

We get real about the signs you’ve lost yourself, what that actually feels like in your day-to-day life, and the quiet moments where you realize something isn’t aligned anymore. And then—what it looks like to begin peeling back the layers and reconnecting with the parts of you that were never meant to stay hidden.

We also talk about faith, healing, and the tension of asking, “Where were you?”—in the moments we felt abandoned by God or by the people who should have protected us. What does it look like to work through that? To begin healing? To even consider forgiveness?

This is a conversation about survival, self-protection, and ultimately, returning home to your higher powers and yourself—with more truth, more compassion, and more freedom than you’ve felt in a long time.

Why do you want this?
Is it aligned with who you are now?
Is it something you really need or something you think you should want?
Is all that true?

The answers are already there—you just have to be willing to ask and ready to listen.  


And if everything is pointing you to yes - then why aren't you TRYING?

Together, they talk about how hope isn’t about ignoring reality, but about trusting that there’s something for you up ahead, even when you can’t see it yet.

They dive into how hope gives us the courage to be brave, how to catch ourselves when we spiral into worst-case scenario thinking, and how small, intentional shifts can move us from fear into forward motion.

Because sometimes hope isn’t a feeling—it’s a decision. And that decision can change everything.

  • What forgiveness is — and what it is not
  • How to begin letting go without minimizing the hurt

In this episode of The Funny Kind, Erica is joined by Melinda Stuart, a Certified Senior Move Manager and owner of Smart Move who specializes in assisting clients and their families with downsizing, relocating, and re-settling.

Together, they talk about simplifying, decluttering, and learning to be content with what we already have, instead of constantly reaching for more.

We explore why stuff holds so much emotional weight, how letting go can feel both freeing and uncomfortable, and how creating space in our homes often creates space in our hearts, too. This isn’t about perfection or minimalism for minimalism’s sake—it’s about intentional living, gentler choices, and discovering the peace that comes from realizing you already have enough.

With a little humor, a lot of honesty, and practical insight you can actually use, this conversation invites you to rethink your relationship with “stuff” and reconnect with what truly matters.

✨ Less clutter. More clarity. And maybe a new definition of enough.

]]> What if enough isn’t something we chase… but something we choose?

In this episode of The Funny Kind, Erica is joined by Melinda Stuart, a Certified Senior Move Manager and owner of Smart Move who specializes in assisting clients and their families with downsizing, relocating, and re-settling.

Together, they talk about simplifying, decluttering, and learning to be content with what we already have, instead of constantly reaching for more.

We explore why stuff holds so much emotional weight, how letting go can feel both freeing and uncomfortable, and how creating space in our homes often creates space in our hearts, too. This isn’t about perfection or minimalism for minimalism’s sake—it’s about intentional living, gentler choices, and discovering the peace that comes from realizing you already have enough.

With a little humor, a lot of honesty, and practical insight you can actually use, this conversation invites you to rethink your relationship with “stuff” and reconnect with what truly matters.

✨ Less clutter. More clarity. And maybe a new definition of enough.
