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 con...

 If your house is messy, life is messy, thoughts or relationships are messy... you are right where you need to be this Christmas. Just thinking through this Christmas story for the one millionth time, I have come to realize that God isn't intimidated by mess, He often chooses it to reveal the most.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 t...

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.
