New on Rooted Real—and What’s Coming Next
Alison’s episode is live—plus a look ahead at conversations about bipolar disorder, faith, purpose, and community.
Some stories help us feel less alone. Others invite us to understand people’s struggles with greater compassion. On Rooted Real, I’m sharing conversations about mental health, grief, faith, connection, and finding purpose through difficult experiences.
Available Now: Alison—ADHD, Childhood Trauma, and the Search for Safety
Alison’s episode is already posted! Alison reflects on growing up with ADHD, losing her father as a teenager, and navigating an unsafe home environment. Her story invites us to look beyond a young person’s behavior and ask: “What are they responding to?” Listen now for a conversation about understanding, resilience, and the search for safety.
Coming Soon: Alana Michaels—Bipolar Disorder, Grief, and Faith

Coming Soon: Gregory Meadows—Finding Purpose Through Pain
Life coach Gregory Meadows reflects on how a difficult childhood shaped his commitment to helping children and families. We discuss human connection, breaking generational patterns, entrepreneurship, and building a life centered on making a difference.
Coming Soon: Lisa Barwise—Wellness, Purpose, and Community
Lisa shares her path from an unfulfilling corporate career to building a wellness community. Her experiences with health challenges, financial uncertainty, and career change highlight the value of meaningful work and people who show up for one another.
