Sunny Side Up with Ali Long

Owning Your Truth w/ Kelly Brittingham

We’re bringing back a powerful conversation from the early days of the podcast — one that still deserves to be held, heard, and honored. Abandoned and adopted by a narcissist, Kelly Brittingham opens up about the raw, tender truths of healing, sobriety, and the unexpected beauty of unconditional love and purpose. On March 13, 2013, Kelly stepped into sobriety — and never looked back. In this refreshed replay, we talk about her why’s, the complicated ties we carry with our mothers, and the wisdom behind the phrase, “The only way out is through.” And yes… you’ll want to keep tissues close. Especially when Kelly shares about her husband and the sacred gift of love that shows up and stays. Since this episode first aired, Kelly’s story has continued to evolve in profound ways. She has walked through hardships that could have broken her — but they didn’t. Her resilience is breathtaking, and I cannot wait to have her back on the show to share the next chapter of her journey. I’m re-releasing this conversation because the message still matters. Maybe even more today than it did then. Whether this is your first time listening or a heart-touching revisit, I pray it meets you right where you are.

Empowered Moms – Listening to the Body’s Alarms

In this inspiring talk, Alicia Long reminds moms that every symptom is not a punishment—but a message from the body. Just like a morning alarm, symptoms are signals calling us to wake up, slow down, and pay attention. With warmth and honesty, Alicia shares how she learned to listen to her own body after years of “pushing through” anxiety, depletion, and unrealistic standards. Drawing from faith, functional wellness, and lived experience, she connects physical symptoms to spiritual truths: God designed our bodies not to betray us but to guide us back into balance. Through gentle breathwork and reflection, listeners are invited to reconnect with their bodies, release guilt, and ask, “What do I need to thrive?” Alicia explores how true healing begins with awareness—through nourishing the body, clearing toxins, and honoring God’s design. She introduces practical tools like herbal allies, detox support, and her community program, The Cleanse Club, all created to help women restore their energy, balance hormones, and feel at home in their bodies again. Her message closes with a call to honor the “temple” we live in, trust God’s blueprint for wellness, and listen with love to the whispers within. This one is for the mamas who are ready to listen, to breathe, and to say: “I see you. I honor you. I love you.” In this episode: 🌞 The spiritual side of symptoms — your body as God’s messenger 🌿 Everyday toxins that block healing (and how to clear them!) 💛 Herbal allies for restoring energy and balance 🙏 A grounding exercise to reconnect with your body ✨ Faith-based encouragement for your healing journey Resources Mentioned: * Free printable: 8 Herbal Allies to Take Back Your Health → SunnyandHolistic.com * Join The Cleanse Club → TheCleanseClub.co * Podcast mentioned: The Detox Blueprint: Clearing Toxins the Smart Way w/ Jeff Lioon, Jr.
