The Great Awakening: Faith and Conviction in Uncertain Times | EP 2

In Episode 2 of Shaking Out Loud, Courtney and Joe reflect on the moment everything shifted. What began as trust in a system turned into deep questioning, personal reckoning, and a decision to advocate for themselves and their family. This episode explores what happens when lived experience collides with policy, when intuition challenges authority, and when choosing a different path comes at a cost. It is an honest conversation about autonomy, faith, resilience, and the courage it takes to walk away from what no longer aligns. This is not about politics. It is about personal truth, informed choice, and learning to listen when something inside you says there has to be another way.

Finding Our Voice: Navigating a Broken Healthcare System | EP 1

In the inaugural episode of Shaking Out Loud, hosts Joe and Courtney share the personal experiences that led them to create the podcast.

They discuss the gaps they witnessed firsthand, the questions that went unanswered, and the moment they realized there had to be a different way forward. This episode marks the beginning of a shared journey. Through honest reflection and lived experience, Shaking Out Loud invites listeners to follow along as Joe and Courtney explore new ways of thinking about health, challenge limitations, and discover what healing can look like beyond conventional paths.
