Brandi Harvey and Jacquline Glass know wellness and have been on a journey to encourage healing in women. "Sistahs Getting Well" is their award winning documentary produced by Brandi that chronicles the systemic and health challenges faced by Black women and how Jacqueline overcame them without medication. Although we gathered to talk about their incredible work, I was not prepared for the spiritual wisdom they poured out in this conversation. Get ready for church people because these women brought it!
So grateful to have this conversation with another mom of 4 and someone who you will be hearing more of on the podcast Brenda Thorn. Why do we feel this way with all that we do for our kids? And is it just working moms or SAHM's or is it all of us?
Brenda and I talk about the challenges of mothering and what we can do to hold on to perspective. For more on Mom Guilt check out my new column for TODAY.com- IS THIS NORMAL here:

What do you do while you wait? You've asked and prayed and waited and waited some more—but what can you do while waiting in uncertainty? In this episode, I talk about what we can focus on during these times so that we can use it to strengthen both our faith and ourselves while we wait for answers.

Happy New Year! Resolutions, intentions, or words? What it actually takes to change our behavior goes much deeper than setting a goal. In this episode, I share with you what I have found that gets to the heart of what we need to make meaningful, lasting change.

Does joy feel more like a choice than a feeling? Not uncommon in this season.
One thing we learn about the first Christmas is that it was a season of unmet expectations where many needed to both choose joy and rely on their faith—not unlike many of us today. In this episode, I talk about how to choose joy and choose it again.

Yet if you are anything like me you are asking, "Where do we even begin to make changes that will actually impact our well-being?" Dr. Robin Rose unpacks all of this and more. I was fascinated by her explanation of how chronic stress is related to disease and what sleep actually does for us. You will not want to miss this episode, and my guess is that you will listen twice!

Psychiatrist Dr. Aruna has a radical perspective on mental health and healing... and she is not alone.
We cover so much ground in this podcast: medication or not, generational trauma, leaky gut as an answer to all the things, and what do we do about it all? This was a mind-blowing episode that made me realize that in order to heal, yes, medication can be helpful, but we have to treat mental illness holistically to become whole.

It's Mother's Day, and I have a gift for you! It's this conversation with Stylist extraordinaire Jean Gordon. Yes, we are talking about clothes and our closets, but it's truly a metaphor for so much more. Some of what she said hit me in an unexpected way as I thought about my own life and my appreciation of it.
Such wisdom in her words! Drop a comment if you felt that way, too.

So we tell our kids not to judge, but as adults, do we follow that advice? I find myself intentionally reminding myself not to judge and to stay curious about people. It's pretty hard these days given what we see on social media and the assumptions that are instantly made.
Today I have Brenton Vaughan on the podcast, a very special guest who gave me a very special gift that sparked this conversation.

Hena Doba is truly an inspiration. Today we talked about her South Asian roots and the obstacles she faced rising in her prestigious career as a TV journalist from local news networks to CBS and now Cheddar News. Although our stories are different, there was an instant connection I felt with this South Asian sister as we talked about growing up South Asian in America, race, privilege, and how far we have come.
Following on the heels of Diwali, this conversation is timely. Hena Doba is Anchor/Breaking News Correspondent at Cheddar Inc.
We all go through hard seasons where our faith expectations are not met. Maybe it's a prayer that hasn't been answered or answered in a way that you didn't want. We have come through a season of all of the above, and God has walked us through it. In this episode, I talk about what I have learned.

Grateful to have NYT Bestselling Author Julie Lythcott-Haims on the podcast once again talking about her latest book—Your Turn: How to Be An Adult. In this book, Julie writes with such compassion, helping young adults navigate their way in an incredibly complicated world. In this episode, she vulnerably shares some of her own challenges in her own parenting of young adults, as well as the powerful stories of young people trying to figure it out. Julie shares timely wisdom for parents who want to know how to support their young adults, as well as young adults who need to know they are not alone on this journey.
Families can be beautiful, complex, limiting and freeing all at the same time. It's amazing what we can learn about our history, our loved ones and ourselves if we take the time to ask questions. That is exactly what I got to do this Father's Day with my own father Dr. M Satchi.
My sister, Dr. Krissy, and I got the chance to sit down and hear a few stories of his extraordinary life.
Dr. Leah Katz is a clinical psychologist and a calm voice of reason in this hectic life we all lead. Although she is a new friend, I feel like I have known her for years, and I know you will, too. Her new book, Gutsy: Mindfulness Practices for Everyday Bravery, teaches us the importance of being present in order to truly tap into what we desire in life. Leah explains mindfulness in a way that is accessible to all of us and believes it is the way to a truer, fuller, more present life. Who doesn't want that?
Lisa Bollacke faced a situation that most of us can't imagine. How do people hold on to faith during these times? Where is God at our lowest moments? Today's story released this mother's day is one of a mother's faith for her son as she and her family faced the unimaginable. This story has inspired me for years to believe that God is bigger than our worst nightmare and can truly bring beauty from the ashes.
Love yourself. But how do we do this, especially if we struggle with how we look? Eating disorder experts Debbie Chrabolowski, LPC and Rena Bruckman, MS, RD-N answer the hard questions that many of us are asking: How do we start working on a healthy body image when we don't love what we look like? What is disordered eating vs an eating disorder? When should you intervene for your child or yourself? How do we create healthy messaging in our home for our children and families? Great episode that certainly challenged my thoughts on how I think about body image and even changed some of my behaviors already.
Today All Things Life is 2 years old! It is also my birthday, and birthdays seem like a good time to reflect on where we've been and where we want to go. I've been thinking a lot lately about how pride shows up in ways we can't detect and what humility really means. Sharing those thoughts with you today.
My friend and author Amy Julia Becker joins me today to talk about the areas of our lives that need healing and how physical, emotional and spiritual healing are all connected. I can't think of a better time to have this conversation coming out of the pandemic and feeling like the world is fractured. She offers much hope and insight that I know will make you think as much as it did me.
Wait! This chat is not just for those over 40. We need to be aware as early as possible of the things that affect our overall wellness and the impact of stress on our bodies.

For years when I have been working with clients who are anxious and discontent, I have encouraged them to take some time off social media and focus on their own real lives. I have yet to have one come back saying it didn't help. So this time, I did it myself- and wow- it made me aware of so much I didn't even know was happening. I share all about that in this episode!
Sometimes, when we go through hard things, we have to borrow the faith of others around us while ours is being refined. We don't always recognize the diamonds in that darkness, but with a little light, they can be found. Carine Marco is one woman whose faith always inspires me, and I have no doubt the story she shares today will inspire you, too.
Ed Feliciano joins me on this post-Valentine's Day podcast to talk about the ups and downs of long-term relationships and the lessons we have learned and continue to learn even after almost 19 years of marriage. And, yes, this is how we spent our Valentine's Day evening...recording a podcast!
Therapist Carrie Amos and I talk about all the things tweens and teens that can make life so very complicated. Just know, parents, you are not alone. Hopefully, this conversation will help you have the hard conversations with your kids and navigate these tricky issues with a little more clarity.
Many of us have prayers that have not been answered yet and often find ourselves waiting for something to happen in our lives. Melly Bonita knows what it's like to wait in the midst of a challenge. Today she shares her faith journey of what has happened through the waiting and how she finds hope in the process.
Not in the Mood? You are not alone.
Yes, that's right—we are talking about it today. Low sexual desire is an area that affects a large percentage of women and a smaller percentage of men. Desire can fluctuate over the course of one's life especially during perimenopause and menopause and yet is an important part of wellness and our relationships. Specialist Jackie Giannelli joins us today to tell us what we can do about it.
No, this is not about intermittent fasting! We’re talking about spiritual fasting, and this is the way the women—and now the men—in our family begin every new year. Spiritual fasting is powerful, and we have seen amazing things happen in and around us when we do this collectively. My dear friend Sonia Thomas joins me to talk about what fasting can do for your faith, life, and connection to God.
We often begin the new year with resolutions that 64% of people give up on within a month.
Creating sustainable new habits is a different process entirely. In this podcast I talk about how to set meaningful intentions leading to meeting goals that reflect what is important in your life-and ones that will actually last.
This episode is not just for Christmas, but we can learn a lot about getting ready for what's ahead through the Christmas story. A New Year won't be new unless we begin to do things differently. Do you actually have room in your life for the blessings you have been asking for? I didn't until I made room both in my life and in myself. Today I share how you can get ready, too.
All is calm? Not quite. With two weeks to go, many of us find ourselves stressed and distracted, making it hard to feel the holiday magic. Here are a few tips on how to manage a hectic holiday and find a little more peace on earth.
Fernanda Scott is a beautiful, successful, happily married young mom of two little boys—and she had a life-changing stroke. She knows that bad things do happen to good people. This is her story about her hard thing and how her life was changed in ways that she could never have imagined...for good.
Pediatrician Dr. Krissy—my baby sis—joins me to discuss all your questions about the Covid vaccine and kids ages 5 to 11. Stay with us until the end as we also talk about "vaccine judgment" and how to think through relationships and have more productive conversations with people who feel differently than you about this issue.

Be sure to talk with your own doctor before making medical decisions.
Walking by faith is hard especially when you are feeling overwhelmed and afraid.
Don’t I know it! But one thing I have seen, if we look for God in these moments- these are the times we can witness the beauty and faithfulness of God in new and amazing ways. Today I talk about one of my battles as a mom of kids with life threatening food allergies.
I'm back after a long break and have quite a story to tell you. If you often feel overwhelmed, this episode is for you. Here I will share with you what I have had to do in the last month to manage stress, anxiety, and overwhelm—and what you can do, too!
Erica Schuelke woke up one morning to walk her dog in the beautiful California sunshine as usual and a few moments later nearly lost her life. She joins me to share her story of fear, faith and a second chance at living an intentional life.
Rest, self-care, and sleep—so important. But most of us are lacking in each of these areas. We were not created to go, go, go 24/7, but the culture we live in doesn’t accept much less. In this episode, I talk about how we can slow down and exactly what we will experience when we do.
Having faith is a journey that ebbs and flows. Even after years of knowing God, sometimes I have great faith and sometimes not so much. Yet when we are paying attention and listening God will speak in unique and incredible ways to remind us that He is closer than we realize. Today I share a story of how God made that very clear to me.
Vaccinating our kids was a big decision for our family and I talked with many specialists who helped me make an informed decision. Today my sister, pediatrician Dr. Krissy Satchi, joins me to answer many of the questions that you might be asking. Some of the studies that we speak of are linked below:

We have heard that we can do hard things. So where do we begin? Today I am sharing practices that I have been using both for myself and my clients when we are faced with overwhelm, frustration, confusion or just looking for direction. Talking about the practices we know from the research that will help as well as spiritually what God has to say about these moments in our lives.
I couldn't think of a better person to have on the podcast this Mother's Day than my mama. Dr. Raji Satchi is a pediatrician who has been caring for her patients for the last 45 years. She is a mother to three adult daughters and knows a lot about raising kids. Her faith is inspiring and I'm so grateful for what she is sharing with all of us today.
I don't know about you but I have those moments when I know I'm not enough. Easter is a good reminder that I actually don't have to be. In this episode I talk about why now I'm just fine with that.
Go Shorty! All Things Life is 1 Year Old! Today we look back on a year of conversations and stories from SoulFull Sundays. It's amazing what a year brings and how much you forget. I'm so grateful to all of you who continue to listen and support the podcast.
Looking forward to sharing a look back on our wellness episodes next week.
So none of us thought we’d be here one year later, but here we are. My dear friend Dr. Nikki Greene and I talk about what this year has brought to the table for many of us. Dr. Green is an assistant professor of Art History at Wellesley College and shares her journey over the last year which is nothing short of inspiring. Today we celebrate how far all of us have come in the face of a global pandemic.
This is probably my most favorite talk that I have ever done from 2019. I was in a room full of over 200 women and there was an electrifying energy there. I talk about purpose because we struggle with this a lot, yet God is so willing to show us what this really means if we are willing to let go of our own ideas and embrace His. Hope it blesses you today.
As we end February I wanted to invite a few beloved friends to talk about how to celebrate black history month in a way that honors Black people. They share what this month means to them as Black people, how we can talk to our kids about it and what we should continue to think about the other 11 months of the year so that our efforts this month truly mean something. I know this conversation will both inspire you and make you think as it did me.
Many people I know have hit a wall this past week. Feeling depleted, overwhelmed or just tired.. but we don't have to go it alone. This week I talk about how we are never called to do life in our own strength and what can happen when we choose faith over fear.
This pandemic has been a difficult time to navigate relationships especially with older parents. Today I continue the conversation on caregiving and aging parents with Psychologist Dr. Kristen Abbott who shares her professional expertise and personal experience with us on the joys and challenges of the sandwich generation.
Is it true that God really won't give you more than you can handle? Rebecca Gallagher shares her story about caring for her father who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. Whether you can relate to the situation of aging parents or not, she has a powerful message for anyone who is facing something they never asked for especially in this season.
Inauguration Day seemed like the perfect day to talk about what happens when all of us come together regardless of beliefs for the greater good. Dr. Krissy Satchi and Carrie Amos, LCSW join me in this episode to talk about what they witnessed in Operation Christmas Miracle and the incredible power we wield together. Do we dare dream bigger together for the rest of 2021?
It's been a year and we are only 17 days in! Off social media, I've had time to think about a lot of things. Here are my new year thoughts about distraction, living with intention, the implications of race and the insurrection.
It's been a year. For many of you hope is hard to find right now and we all get that. Is 2021 really going to be that different? Pastor Brenda Thorn of Hillsong NY talks about where we can find hope no matter what happens in the next few months. This is a great episode to end this year offering perspective and truth to take us into the new year.
Talking about what it means to make room this Christmas to experience the true blessings of the season in this final episode in our advent series. How do we make room for God and what do we need to let go of to walk by faith. My Bronx-turned-Texan friend Sonia Thomas joins me once again to close out this holiday series.
You might not be frozen yet, but what a great reminder for 2020!
Yes, stress has not been canceled in 2020, but there are things you can do about it. Join my colleague Dr. Lisa Fraidin and I as we talk about how stress looks a little different this holiday and what you can do to still have a happy one.
Continuing our advent series and today I talk about the "suddenlys" in life and how God turned an ordinary moment into an extraordinary one and can do the same today if we are ready and willing.
How do you do the thing God has called you to do when it means great risk, potential loss and even stigma? What if it’s not even natural and out of your comfort zone? We can learn a lot about what it takes from Joseph the chosen father of Jesus. Check out Part 1 Something About Mary if you missed it, too!
This is the first episode of a 4 week Advent series. The Christmas Story was not exactly what we think of it now- calm, serene and full of light. In fact uncertainty, unmet expectations and fear were central to this epic tale of the birth of our Savior. I can't imagine a more relevant story for 2020. These characters could not be more meaningful today as we face many of the same emotions and today we begin with Mary.
Gratitude may be a little harder this Thanksgiving, but it IS still possible.
I’m talking about how this simple practice has incredible power to change your life physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. In this episode you will learn why it’s important not only for you but for your entire family and how to practice it in simple and effective ways.
Often we find ourselves in a season of waiting, but it's good to remember that God has the ability to do anything in a moment.
In this episode, I share some exciting news and a moment where I have witnessed this happen. If you are looking for hope right now this is the episode for you.
Are you spiritual or religious and what is the difference really? Today journalist and host of the show We Gotta Talk Sonni Abatta joins me to share her journey with exploring her spirituality looking for answers to questions many of us are having these days. We talk about the bible, church, mediums and astrology and what it all really means in light of 2020.
So we have a president and now where do we go from here? Our nation and especially our churches have experienced incredible division and things we can’t unsee. Today my good friend Amy Julia Becker joins me to talk about why this election was especially divisive and how we can take steps to heal.
Covid is in our schools now and you might be asking the same questions I am these days.

Not talking about weight loss or intermittent fasting—this is fasting for a spiritual breakthrough. Especially when I am not drinking in the midst of a pandemic, I get questions (and crazy looks) on what in the world is going on!! On this episode, my dear friend Sonia Thomas breaks down why we should fast and the amazing things that can happen in our faith life when we do.

We all need this one. Enough Said!
We all have these moments and they happen often. So what can we do about it? Here I is my story of what I did this morning when I was feeling this way and how God made it clear to me that he was much closer than I thought.
**Summary of What You Can Do When God Feels Distant
Write down your thoughts, feelings and questions**: it helps to know what you are feeling and also to identify answers when God gives them to you. Write down when you get the answers as well because it will help you the next time you are feeling this way to remember how God showed up for you.
Worship: Put on music or sit in silence. Worship in the way that’s most comfortable for you.
We often experience and hear things during times of worship.
Gratitude: Spend time thinking of what you are grateful for and express these things to God.
Be Useful: We have many ways to live out purpose. Connect with someone, meet the needs of someone else or do whatever you are supposed to do for you in that moment.
Connect With Nature: We often experience God through nature so go out and take a walk, breathe in the beauty and tranquility of nature (when its not snowing in April like it is today).
