🎙️ Talk with Toby: Real Life. Real Faith. In this episode, I sit down with Kristin Edstrom, counsellor, wife, mother, and a woman passionate about helping people find healing through both professional counselling and faith in Christ.

Whether you’re facing a crisis, working through past wounds, trying to strengthen your relationships, or simply looking to grow in your faith, this conversation offers encouragement, wisdom, and hope.

Talk with Toby Ep 4 Jena Wiebe - From Athiest to Believer

For years, Jena Wiebe built her identity around hustle, achievement, independence, and success. She was outspoken, ambitious, and openly atheist; focused on building the life she thought would finally bring fulfillment. But eventually, the constant striving stopped working. In this deeply honest conversation, Jena shares what led her away from a life centered on money, status, and self reliance…and down a path of faith, peace, femininity, and a relationship with God she never expected to have. We talk about ambition, identity, burnout, modern culture, personal transformation, and what happens when your priorities and your heart begin to change. If you’ve ever felt exhausted by the pressure to constantly achieve, prove yourself, or chase more… this conversation might really speak to you. 🎙️ Talk with Toby — Real Life. Real Faith.
