   When Pain Becomes Purpose

   Some conversations challenge the way you think about the world, and this is one of them. In today's episode, I sit down with my friend Kim Witczak, an advocate whose life was forever changed after the unexpected death of her husband, Woody, in 2003. What began as unimaginable grief eventually became a decades-long mission to help families ask better questions, advocate for greater transparency, and rethink how we approach mental health, medication, and informed consent. Kim shares the heartbreaking story of losing Woody just weeks after he was prescribed an antidepressant for insomnia. As she searched for answers, she uncovered information that ultimately led her to become one of the nation's leading patient safety advocates. Her work helped bring greater awareness to the risks associated with antidepressants and contributed to the addition of stronger warning labels on these medications. But this conversation isn't simply about medication. It's about something much deeper. We talk about what it means to trust your own intuition, to question what doesn't feel right, and to recognize that our bodies and our spirits often know more than we give them credit for. We discuss the importance of informed consent, why asking questions is not the same as rejecting modern medicine, and how easily we can outsource our own authority without realizing it. One of the themes that resonated with me most was Kim's willingness to share not only the external battle she fought, but the internal one as well. For years, advocacy became a place to pour her grief. Eventually she realized she also had to slow down, allow herself to feel, and learn how to live fully again. That part of her story is something I think so many high-achieving women will relate to. Whether you're navigating grief, struggling with anxiety, supporting someone you love, or simply wanting to become a more informed advocate for your own health, I believe this conversation will leave you thinking differently. More than anything, I hope it reminds you that your voice matters, your intuition matters, and asking questions is one of the most powerful things you can do. In this episode we discuss: Kim's story of losing her husband, Woody, and how tragedy redirected her life's purpose How pain can become purpose when we're willing to use our experiences to help others The importance of informed consent and asking better questions about our healthcare Why intuition deserves a seat at the table when making important decisions Processing grief instead of numbing it The danger of outsourcing our personal authority Learning to trust ourselves again Finding hope, healing, and purpose after profound loss Why growth often begins on the other side of discomfort How sharing our stories helps other people feel less alone You can connect with Kim and follow her work here: • Website: https://www.woodymatters.com (https://www.woodymatters.com) • Instagram: @kim_witczak • Substack: (UN)Acceptable Collateral Damage — https://acceptablecollateraldamage.substack.com (https://acceptablecollateraldamage.substack.com) • X/Twitter: @woodymatters As always, if this conversation resonated with you, I'd be so grateful if you would share this episode with a friend, leave a review, and let us know what impacted you most.

   Look for Good: Finding Joy Even When Life Breaks Your Heart

   Some conversations stay with you long after they're over, and this is one of them. In today's episode, I sit down with my friend Kathy Rogers, someone I had the privilege of meeting at a retreat a little over a year ago. We were assigned bunk beds in an Airbnb, became instant friends, and over the course of that weekend I heard pieces of her story that left me completely in awe. Kathy has walked through more heartbreak than most people could imagine, yet she radiates a joy, peace, and faith that is impossible to ignore. After surviving an aggressive battle with breast cancer, Kathy lost her mother to ovarian cancer and then, just months later, walked through the unimaginable loss of her 29-year-old daughter to metastatic breast cancer. Most people would understand if those experiences left someone bitter, angry, or hopeless. Instead, Kathy has chosen a different lens. She has chosen to look for good. Throughout our conversation we talk about what it really means to trust God, not just when life is easy, but when everything you thought was certain begins to fall apart. We discuss surrender, grief, perspective, emotional healing, and why it's possible for joy and sorrow to exist at the very same time. One of the things I loved most about our conversation was Kathy's reminder that healing doesn't happen by pretending everything is okay. It happens by allowing ourselves to feel deeply while refusing to become victims of our circumstances. We also talked about the importance of ordinary routines during difficult seasons, why gratitude is a daily practice instead of simply a feeling, and how our perspective ultimately shapes the life we experience. This episode is full of wisdom that applies whether you're walking through grief, navigating a major transition, building a business through hard circumstances, or simply trying to find peace in a world that often feels overwhelming. My hope is that you'll walk away feeling encouraged, grounded, and reminded that even when life doesn't make sense, there is still beauty to be found. In this episode we discuss: Kathy's journey through breast cancer, the loss of her mother, and the loss of her daughter Moving from a checklist faith to deep trust in God Why perspective changes everything How joy and grief can coexist The importance of ordinary routines during difficult seasons Gratitude as a daily practice instead of a personality trait Learning to process emotions instead of avoiding them The freedom that comes from surrendering the illusion of control Finding purpose through pain What it means to truly "look for good" If this conversation encouraged you, I hope you'll share it with someone who may be walking through a difficult season. Kathy's message is one of hope, resilience, and unwavering faith, and I know it will bless so many people.

Inside a recent episode

Why I Stopped Measuring and Started Loving My Body

Published 17 Jun 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Absolutely, there was no value in doing that. And it didn't even make sense because I'm not the same person as I was then. And just because I might have been a little bit lighter doesn't mean I was happier, doesn't mean I had a better life, better connection with my spouse, with my kids. And that's what we do is we compare ourselves to a previous version of ourselves. And that's so unfair because It would be like in business if you were just barely starting your business and you compared yourself to Sarah Blakely, who is like a billionaire. Well, that's not fair because she's like in a completely different phase of her life and her business building journey. […]
