Hope & Humor Podcast

Kristina opens up about something many of us are feeling but don’t always say out loud: life has been heavy lately. She shares honestly about her recent mental health struggles with depression and anxiety, what it’s looked like behind the scenes, and the small ways she’s been working through it. This conversation is a reminder that you’re not alone and you deserve all the help you can get.

In this episode, we talk honestly about marriage - why many single women are losing interest in it, how the mental load in relationships often goes unshared, and what it takes to have a truly healthy partnership. Kristina also opens up about a season that nearly broke her marriage and what she and her husband did to heal their relationship. This episode is filled with practical, real-life tips for anyone who wants a healthier, more supportive romantic partnership.

In this episode, we talk about the difficult transition from raising children to parenting adult kids. How do we support them while respecting their independence? How do we respond when our adult children bring up ways we hurt them or mistakes we made while raising them? And how can we build the healthiest relationship possible with them?

This conversation explores letting go of control, staying connected, and growing alongside our adult children.

In this episode, we discuss how we’re our own worst bullies, why putting ourselves down feels more natural than complimenting ourselves, and how to shift our self-talk out of self-hatred mode in order to become more confident and thrive.

In this episode, we discuss what we as parents need to do to recognize mental health struggles in our kids and how to approach them in ways that don’t cause them to shut down. We talk about how some kids are often mislabeled as “bad” or rebellious, when in reality they’re kids who are in pain. We also explore how creating an environment rooted in genuine curiosity helps our children feel safe opening up and accepting our support.
