Kathleen inspires, informs, motivates, and walks alongside people on their journey to revitalizing their health and wholeness - body, mind, and spirit. What a an absolute joy, inspiration, and wealth of knowledge Kathleen was!
A few of the topics that we discussed:
*Holistic Health - what does this mean and how does one start this journey?

I took a little diversion from my normal podcasts to focus on celebrating Holy Week leading up to Easter Resurrection Sunday. It truly is a journey filled with so many heart-wrenching and beautiful moments. It’s the story of Jesus Christ's journey to the cross, dying for us, and rising again on Easter Sunday.
I share what each day means during Holy Week, scripture, and my own thoughts along the way. I pray that this episode speaks to your heart in only ways that God can do. Please share this with family and friends who may not have a relationship with Jesus or someone that just needs a renewal of their faith life. I’m not a Bible scholar. I’m just a person who is very passionate about her love for Jesus and I want to share that with the world because I want you to know Him too.
SCRIPTURE MENTIONED:
Matthew 21:6-9; Matthew 21:12-13; Matthew 24:42-44; Luke 22:2-6; Mark 14:22-26; Mark 15:25-26, 37-39; Luke 23:55-56; Mark 16:2-6; Hebrews 12:1-3

*Rebroadcast of Episode 10
I’m sharing this episode again because I felt it on my heart to get this important information out there again. I’ve had several friends recently reach out because they are now walking through this very difficult season of life as a caregiver to a parent. I don’t want anyone to feel alone and overwhelmed because there are resources out there to help them. Parenting Aging Parents makes it easier because you can get everything you need all in one place.
It was truly the hardest season of my life that no one can really prepare you for and I couldn’t have done it without Parenting Aging Parents. This organization and community was a huge blessing to me when we journeyed through this with my Dad who passed away on September 2, 2023.
Please SHARE this with your family and friends! It’s such an important episode that could help ease the overwhelming feeling that comes with being a caregiver.

Doesn’t it seem like more and more people are wanting to get back to the basics? There’s been an increasing desire to learn to become more self-sufficient as we get to know our local farmers and discover all the ways that we can provide for our families in a more sustainable and traditional way.
We’re hungry to know more about the benefits of utilizing “back to nature” simple ingredients in a world that is now filled with so many toxins & chemicals. We’re bombarded with them and they’re becoming more & more prevalent in all of our food and the products we put in and on our body.
My guest and good friend Chelsea Schizas sat down to talk about this and more on today’s episode. Chelsea shares all the things she’s been learning about raw milk, making your own sourdough bread and bone broth, what is tallow, and how to find your local farmer’s markets, just to name a few. We both share what we’ve discovered and all the health benefits of each of these so that you can make your own informed decisions based on your own research.
This is such a good one filled with so much juicy information you don’t want to miss! And we’re just getting started…

Today on Valentine’s Day, February 14th, my husband and I celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary! I thought this was the perfect time to share my thoughts, encouragement, overcoming marriage challenges, tips for growing stronger together through it all, and tools that will help you to put on your armor and fight for your marriage and your family. Your marriage is worth every battle, hardship, and struggle especially once you get to the other side where you’ll be thanking God that you never gave up.
Our world and the next generations need to see women standing strong for family and that marriage is truly a beautiful commitment and covenant that is for a lifetime. I’m praying this episode fills you with a new hope to fight for your marriage!

On today’s episode, I’m sharing what’s been on my heart lately. A few topics include: women, community, friendships, my monthly women’s gathering called The Table, and also the incredible organization I’m involved with that I’ve been sharing so much about on Instagram - Warrior Women Intl.
If you’ve listened to my previous episodes, you already know my passion is to be a “Connector!” I absolutely love bringing women together in community. Women need each other to encourage and strengthen and walk alongside them in their journeys. It’s all about being intentional, serving one another, gathering together, bonding, talking, sharing in a safe space, and then taking action steps to grow these friendships and our communities.
Women of all different ages and backgrounds make up these communities. There is no separation or divide. ALL are welcome here! Someone out there needs you just as much as you need them. It’s time for women to continue to rise up, link arms, and build our beautiful communities all over the United States together! Who’s in?!! Let’s go!!

Pauline is a 71-year old ON-FIRE fitness coach! She is an online fitness trainer on her Youtube channel: Ageless Fitness Lifestyle. You can’t help but be inspired by the joy, enthusiasm and zest for a healthy lifestyle that Pauline has. She loves to work with women of all ages (particularly over 50) challenging them to wake up the fitness warrior within. She’ll inspire you to truly believe that you’re never too old and it’s not too late!
Pauline’s passion is driven by her desire to show women that you can do anything at any age. She believes, like me, that it’s time to defy what the world is telling us about aging and show them that getting older only means you’re getting wiser, more confident, and loving life even more than when you were younger.
Aging is beautiful! We’re not unseen or forgotten. We’re just getting started! You can feel good, energized, strong, and accomplish amazing things when you get your mindset right, rely fully on your faith in God, and get that body moving now!!
This episode with Pauline is going to knock your socks off and cause you to grab a hold of that discipline and show the world that we are rising up together to change the narrative that the culture is telling us. It’s time to rise up and make a difference and love the age you’re at.
Enjoy this podcast with the ever-inspiring Pauline Adeleke!

It’s true… they grow up way too fast! Don’t look back wishing you had spent more time with them. We’re not promised tomorrow. Embrace and enjoy parenting and the beautiful gift that the Lord has given you in your children.
