Finding Joy In Dementia Care with Marilyn Raichle

Healthy Living by Willow Creek Springs ·

2025/12/18

Send us a text What if the story we tell about dementia is upside down? Jill sits down with author and advocate Marilyn Raichle to trace her path from reluctant caregiver to devoted care partner for her mother, Jean—a journey sparked by a single painting class that turned fear into curiosity and connection. Instead of bracing for loss, Marilyn learned to invite joy first, and everything changed: colors warmed, conversations opened, and the person everyone thought was gone stepped forward agai...

From Feeding Tube To Freedom with Sara Kelsey

Healthy Living by Willow Creek Springs ·

2025/12/16

Send us a text A teenage diagnosis of achalasia set Sara on a path she never asked for—esophageal surgery, years of nausea and vomiting, and a later diagnosis of gastroparesis that made eating unpredictable and exhausting. Add the weight of a “permanent” feeding tube, depression, and the slow drift into binge drinking, and you get a life that looked functional from the outside but felt unsustainable from the inside. We sit down with Sara to unpack how health, marriage, parenting, and purpose ...

Healing The Past Through Yoga with Rachel Krentzman

Healthy Living by Willow Creek Springs ·

2025/12/12

Send us a text What if the cure you’re seeking is less about fixing a body part and more about meeting your whole self with honesty and skill? That’s the thread we follow with Rachel Krentzman—yoga therapist, physical therapist, and certified Hakomi psychotherapist—whose life journey moves from an Orthodox childhood in Montreal to San Diego’s studios and finally to Israel, where reconnection and reconciliation take center stage. Her story is raw, hopeful, and practical, showing how breath, mo...

Reading The Signs: Purpose In Motionn with Bishop...

Healthy Living by Willow Creek Springs ·

2025/12/10

Send us a text Some moments feel like they were made just for you. That’s where we begin: with signs that don’t demand worship, but invite movement. Joe shares a mysterious “divine download” memory and Bishop Kevin reframes it as a signal that did its job. From there we trace a throughline of purpose: how to recognize direction, how to respond without getting stuck, and how to keep evolving even when the road dips into a valley after a peak. We ground transformation in something you can hold...

2025/12/08

Send us a text A whispered “he’s tombstone” in a silent hospital hallway became the pivot point. John Stewart Hill chose to stay, and that decision reshaped his life—and the way homeowners find trustworthy help. What began with a weak heart and a yellow legal pad turned into The Good Contractors List, a national network that vets pros with FBI-level checks and backs every job with a $25,000 guarantee. We walk through John’s raw origin story—three divorces, no clear career, and prayers to dis...

Scans, Choices, And Taking Charge with Dr Robert Hoffman

Healthy Living by Willow Creek Springs ·

2025/12/06

Send us a text A “good scan” can feel like a finish line, but we dig into why it’s often just the start of smarter decisions. Joe walks through a favorable MRI, an attentive ENT visit, and the practical next move: get a CT to clarify what’s scar, what’s necrosis, and what—if anything—still needs attention. Along the way, we unpack the real limits of imaging, the differences between diagnostic radiation and therapeutic doses, and how to frame each test around a specific question so you get ans...

Healthy Living by Willow Creek Springs ·

2025/12/04

Send us a text A routine mammogram, a life-altering call, and a decision that would shape everything that followed: who holds the wheel. Author Cara Lockwood joins us to talk about facing HER2-positive breast cancer, reclaiming agency, and transforming a frightening diagnosis into a blueprint for action, humor, and hope. We start with the fog of early days—the “white room” where language blurs and time stretches—then move into the moment Cara decided cancer wouldn’t decide for her. She walks...

2025/12/02

Send us a text What if aging isn’t decline but the door to becoming who you were meant to be? That’s the heart of our conversation with educator and author Suzanne Eden, who at 87 shares a candid, hard-won perspective on health, purpose, and wholeness. We unpack the critical difference between curing and healing, why trauma and lifelong pressure can show up as physical illness, and how a purely biomedical approach often misses the deeper work that restores integrity to the whole self. Suzann...

2025/11/29

Send us a text A stadium full of strangers rose to their feet, Bruce Springsteen smiled into the camera, and Ann Abel felt something she hadn’t in years: possibility. What followed wasn’t a fairy tale; it was a series of small, stubborn yeses that moved her from severe, recurrent depression and ECT-induced memory loss to a late-life surge of storytelling, two memoirs, and a social media community of more than 720,000 people. We sit down with Ann to trace that path with honesty and heart. She...

Send us a text Ever tried to outrun your brain? Ron Souers did—until speed and stress nearly cost him his job. Our conversation traces that moment of reckoning to a new framework for ADHD: not a defect to hide, but a different wiring to understand, support, and leverage. Ron is a coach, advocate, and host of “Don’t Mind Me, I Just Have ADHD,” and he brings hard-won lessons from the shop floor to the therapist’s chair to practical routines anyone can adopt. We unpack what ADHD really looks li...

Grow A Grateful Mind: From Soil To Soul part 1

Healthy Living by Willow Creek Springs ·

2025/11/26

Send us a text Ever notice how a single thought can steer your whole day? We take that idea seriously and put it to work with two powerful tools: gratitude and time in the garden. Joe shares why focusing on what’s working—rather than what’s wrong—can shift your mood, your choices, and even your stress response, then shows how a living, breathing landscape makes that shift easier and more natural. We explore the psychology of gratitude in plain language: fewer negative loops, calmer emotions,...

Send us a text A desert hillside turns brown each summer, but tucked inside it is a living stream, layered shade houses, and a nonprofit garden built to calm the nervous system. We walk you through how Gardens of Hope grew from a family project into a community resource where people heal by planting, pruning, and simply breathing near water. The message is simple and radical: nature works, and it belongs in our mental health toolkit. We get candid about what it takes to keep that toolkit ope...

2025/11/21

Send us a text The urge feels harmless at first: a tiny bump on the scalp, a rough edge on the skin, a moment of boredom. Then comes the pull or the pick, the trance-like focus, the fleeting relief—and the shame that follows. We invited certified clinical hypnotherapist and hair loss specialist Keisha Reynolds to help us unpack body-focused repetitive behaviors like trichotillomania and dermatillomania, and to share a roadmap that actually works. Keisha explains how BFRBs differ from OCD: th...

Joe opens up about the habits that held him back, from tobacco cravings to the quiet compromises that sneak in during hard seasons, and lays out a practical path to break negative cycles without losing your sanity. If you’ve ever wondered why you keep doing what you swore you wouldn’t, this conversation gives you the map—and the courage—to try again, smarter. We walk through the habit loop—cue, routine, reward—and sh...

We sat down with Eddie Stone, founder and CEO of Touchstone Essentials, to cut through the noise and focus on what actually moves the needle: reducing daily toxic load and fueling the body with clean, verifiable nutrition. Eddie shares the wake-up calls that shaped his approach, from early labs that didn’t make sense to a family health crisis that spotlighted how hidden exposures can quietly chip away at our resilience.

Send us a text What if a childhood built on criticism and distance teaches your nervous system to disappear? We sit with author and advocate Blair Sorell to uncover how schizoid personality disorder can form as a learned defense—and how clarity, therapy, and the right environment can turn fog into focus. Blair opens up about growing up between a terminally ill mother and an absent father, the slow drift from daydreaming to dysfunction, and the way school and work punish traits that once kept ...

We sit down with Lori Oliver, a former executive who turned years of burnout into a mission to make better sleep achievable with simple, science-backed habits and a surprising piece of performance gear: a reengineered sleep mask designed for true blackout and cooling comfort. We start with the fundamentals—why sleep governs cognition, decision-m...

Send us a text Resilience shouldn’t live on a poster. It should live in your day. We sat down with Dr. Kate Lund—psychologist, TEDx speaker, and host of The Optimized Mind—to turn big ideas about mental health into tools you’ll actually use. From childhood surgeries to two decades of clinical practice, Kate has learned that real strength starts with a steady baseline, not superhuman willpower. We unpack the relaxation response, a five-minute practice that trains your nervous system to settle...

We walk through the case report step by step: how we assembled photos, methods, results, and discussion without overstating what a single case can prove, and why that restraint makes it more valuable to patients and clinicians deciding what to try next.

Healing Takes Work, Not Wishes with Richard McCuen

Send us a text Healing doesn’t arrive on command; it arrives when faith and effort finally meet. Joe sits down with longtime friend and frequent guest Richard McCuen for a candid, grounded conversation about moving from crisis to momentum—through chemo, scans, traumatic injury, VA delays, and the daily choices that turn belief into results. We talk about the difference between hoping for a miracle and building a life it can land in: sleep, nutrition, movement, community, and the hard work of ...
