Join your hosts, Julie & Brian Sims, as they and their guests share real life stories that provide powerful insight for fine tuning the relationships that matter to you most. The Sims bring into the studio 40+ years of experience in marriage and the parenting of six children. Our goal is that through these authentic conversations, you will find hope to create harmony and balance in your relationships. This is Relation EQ.
Brian and Julie Sims trade the studio for their living room to recap a big milestone: the very first Woman at the Well(ness) Conference. Inspired by the story of the woman at the well in John 4 — where Jesus looks past a woman's mess and sees her true value — Julie built a conference around the idea that physical, emotional, and spiritual health aren't separate pieces. They're all connected.
In this episode, Julie walks through each speaker and their piece of the wellness "pie": Lynette Wing on epigenetics and the body's God-given ability to heal ("Nothing Missing, Nothing Broken"), myofascial release specialist Tessa Myers on how trauma gets stuck in the body like flies in a spider web, Jennifer Schmidt on the crucial difference between guilt and shame ("No Shame on You"), and licensed professional counselor Leslie Saurin on why behavior modification fails — and why changing your beliefs changes everything. Julie also shares her own talk on simplifying the eating dilemma, including her rules for eating real food, shopping the periphery of the grocery store, and getting back to the family dinner table.
Missed the conference? The full eight-hour replay is available on the Around the Table Life website under Events. And yes — Julie already has speakers in mind for round two. Stay tuned.
A couple of quick notes: the transcript audio garbled a few names, so double-check the spellings of Leslie Saurin/Soren, Tessa Myers, and Lynette Wing against your conference materials before publishing. Want me to trim this down for platforms with tighter character limits (Spotify/Apple show notes), or adjust the tone?

The Courage To Make A Difference | Kelly & Lindsay
Sometimes the greatest impact begins with one simple question:
"What can I do?"
In this inspiring episode of RelationEQ, Julie Sims sits down with Kelly Brown and Lindsay Wing, the founders of Colorful Closets, to share the remarkable story of how one child's need became a movement that has now served thousands of children across the Texas Panhandle.
What started with a pair of ill-fitting pants and a mother's compassionate heart grew into a nonprofit that provides dignity, confidence, and hope to students through thoughtfully selected clothing. Along the way, Kelly and Lindsay discuss the challenges of building a nonprofit, trusting God through uncertainty, balancing family and purpose, and discovering that ordinary people can accomplish extraordinary things when they simply say "yes."
Whether you're passionate about serving your community, considering starting something of your own, or simply looking for encouragement to take that first step, this conversation will remind you that lasting change begins with compassion put into action.
