Woody Alpern: Natural Childbirth, Modern Medicine, Vaccines, and Some God Questions

In this episode of Honey Sundays, I sit down with Woody Alpern, a good family friend, expert scuba diver, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Dive Talk, for a wide-ranging conversation on birth, health, healing, and the mystery of life. We talk about natural childbirth, medical intervention, epidurals, C-sections, and the importance of being informed when making health decisions. I share pieces of my own home birth experiences, and Woody shares parts of his personal health journey, including the power of nutrition and small lifestyle changes. Together, we explore the body’s ability to heal, the balance between modern medicine and natural healing, quality of life versus longevity, faith, nature, community, and what it means to live with curiosity and discernment.

[SOLO]: When You're Trying To Grow and No One Gets It

In this episode, I'm getting real about something most people don't talk about: what happens when you grow and the people around you don't know what to do with the new you. I've been through the discomfort of shedding old versions of myself, and I know how hard it is to let go of roles and patterns that used to define you, even when they no longer serve you. We hold onto them because they're familiar, because they keep the peace, or because changing means risking losing people. But here's what I've learned: you cannot shrink your growth to fit someone else's comfort. I'm talking about the real tension between wanting acceptance and staying true to who you're becoming. I'm sharing what it looks like to set boundaries that actually protect your growth, and why stepping into a new identity can feel so lonely...even when it's exactly right. If you've ever felt like you've changed but no one around you seems to get it, this one is for you.

Jenna Johnson: Healing Your Gut Starts With This (& It's NOT Food!)

In this episode, I sit down with Jenna Johnson and we unpack her journey from the advertising world into holistic nutrition and gut health. We talk about what’s really going on when your gut feels off, from bowel movements to leaky gut and food sensitivities, and why so many people are missing the bigger picture. We also dive into how gut health impacts every season of life, especially preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum, and why learning to slow down and actually listen to your body is a game changer.
