Loving Lemons

About Loving Lemons

“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Great advice, unless you’ve lived long enough to know that not every hardship can be transformed into something sweet. Some things get better and some things become part of the life you have to keep living. And that changes the conversation about, well, everything. This warm, emotionally intelligent show explores it all, but through the lens of people who are learning to build meaningful and peaceful lives around circumstances that may never change. Hosted by pharmacist and therapist, Dr. Lisa Peña, this is not a self-help podcast. We don't need more advice for an imaginary perfect life. We need better conversations about the lives we're actually living. Welcome to Loving Lemons. Full Episodes every Tuesday and 10 min Lemon Slice Episodes every Friday.

   Episode 20 - The God I Found

   What if God isn't the one assigning our suffering, but the love that sustains us through it? In Part 2 of our season finale, I share how questioning everything I inherited led me to discover a deeper sense of spirituality, compassion, and peace. We explore God as The Good, prayer without guarantees, and finding the sacred beyond religious rules and certainty. And finally, I answer a heartbreaking letter from a mother asking why God allowed her son to suffer.

   Episode 19 - The Story of God I was Given

   What happens when the story of God you inherited no longer makes sense in the life you're living? After my daughter's diagnosis, I began questioning everything I had been taught about God, prayer, suffering, and divine plans. In Part 1 of this deeply personal season finale, we explore religious deconstruction, the problem of suffering, and the courage it takes to explore beliefs that once felt too dangerous to question.

   Episode 18 - Scheduled Suffering

   Four words. One rejection email. In this deeply personal episode of Loving Lemons, Lisa shares a rejection that left her questioning her intuition, her purpose, and her worth and what happened when her children witnessed her disappointment firsthand. Through tears, humor, and a little “scheduled suffering,” she explores the emotional impact of rejection, the importance of modeling emotional regulation for our children, and five practical ways to navigate disappointment, grief, and self-doubt without losing ourselves.
