Get on the waitlist for Functional Health Coaching HERE.
What if the secret to a longer, healthier, more joy-filled life wasn’t found in a supplement or the latest health trend—but in your daily habits and the culture you live in?
In this episode, we explore the fascinating world of Blue Zones—regions where people routinely live vibrant lives well into their 90s and beyond—and the lifestyle patterns they share.
You’ll learn how these principles can transform your personal health, strengthen your family bonds, and create a thriving workplace culture where everyone’s well-being matters.
We’ll talk about simple, realistic ways busy professionals can apply these habits to both their personal and professional lives, and why it takes a team to sustain a truly healthy culture.
Key Takeaways:
What Blue Zones are and where they’re found
Common lifestyle habits that promote longevity and vitality
How to adapt Blue Zone principles into your daily routine without overhauling your life
Why purpose, connection, and environment are just as important as nutrition and exercise
How leaders can build “healthy culture” in the workplace through shared responsibility and intentional habits

235. Radical Honesty and Courageous Leadership with Adrian Koehler

In this truth-bomb-filled episode, I sit down with leadership engagement expert and founder of Take New Ground, Adrian Koehler. Known for his bold mix of tough love and deep compassion, Adrian dives headfirst into the raw truth about what makes leaders effective—not just exceptional.
We unpack everything from fear-based leadership and the hidden costs of people-pleasing to building team cultures rooted in truth and commitment (not performance and politics). Adrian also challenges us to question our stories, face our fear, and stop hiding behind comfort and approval.
If you're a Christian woman in leadership who's tired of over-functioning, burnout, or leading from a place of fear—this one will shake you up (in the best way).
What We Cover:
Why effectiveness matters more than being “exceptional”
The myth of being “stuck” and how we keep ourselves there
How fear is not the enemy—it’s an invitation
Why most leaders avoid hard conversations and what it costs them
The connection between courage, faith, and taking meaningful risks
How team culture must be built on commitment, not just competency
What Jesus modeled about approval, courage, and disruption

234. No More Pretending: How to Lead with Courage, Not Performance

Get on the waitlist for Functional Health Coaching HERE.
In this episode, we’re confronting a trap that many high-capacity Christian women leaders fall into — leading from performance instead of presence. If you’ve ever felt like you have to prove your worth in the boardroom, overdeliver to feel safe, or play a role just to hold it all together… this episode is for you.
We explore how people-pleasing, perfectionism, and fear of being misunderstood drive us to perform rather than lead authentically. You’ll walk away with a renewed perspective on what real courage looks like in leadership — and practical steps to break the cycle of pretending so you can lead from identity, not insecurity.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
How performance-based leadership quietly leads to burnout and resentment
The connection between people-pleasing and fear of rejection
What it means to lead from identity, not image
Faith-based mindset shifts to cultivate courage
Reflection prompts to help you move from pretending to presence
 
I hope this episode blesses you!

I share why functional lab testing is a game-changer for high-capacity women in midlife who are ready to stop chasing symptoms and start healing from the inside out.

In This Episode:
Why guessing at your health is exhausting (and ineffective)
The limits of conventional lab work and standard health advice
What functional testing can reveal about fatigue, brain fog, and hormone shifts
A real-life example of how personalized wellness plans bring clarity and results
What to expect when working with a functional health practitioner
