  Hormones, Health, and Advocating for Yourself with Jennifer Soto

  Aug 4, 202640 minS2

  For decades, women were told hormone therapy was too risky — then the science changed, and an entire generation was left with unanswered questions and providers too hesitant to help. In this episode, I sit down with Jennifer Soto, a family nurse practitioner and founder of Generation Wellness in Amarillo, whose 20+ years in patient care (including oncology) shaped her mission to close that gap. Jennifer breaks down what hormonal health actually means beyond estrogen and periods, why your body works like a symphony where one "squeaker" throws everything off, and why she believes women — who make 80% of medical decisions — hold more influence than they realize. This is also a personal episode for me as I share an important update about what's next for The Nourisher Podcast. Grab a cup of coffee and settle in for this one.

  I Got to Just Be Jackie with Jackie Kingston

  Jul 7, 202654 minS2

  What happens when the face everyone recognizes finally gets to just be herself? Jackie Kingston spent nearly two decades as a familiar face in Amarillo building a career in local television while quietly wrestling with who she was beneath it all. In this episode, we talk about walking away from a role that had shaped her entire identity, what it actually looked like to rebuild her self-esteem on the other side, and how falling in love taught her what she was worth. Jackie is now the Executive Director of the Amarillo Tribune — Amarillo's first community-supported nonprofit newsroom — and she brings that same honesty and warmth to everything she does. We talk about why local news is where your power is, how compassion is a muscle you have to keep flexing, and why curiosity might just be the antidote to almost everything.

  Still Standing: Surviving the Unsurvivable with Márcia Cook

  Jun 23, 202644 minS2

  Márcia Cook lost her two-year-old son in a tragic accident. Then a stillbirth. Then more miscarriages. Then her mother. All while battling her own health crisis on top of a childhood marked by abandonment, abuse, and racism. In this conversation, Márcia, author of Dare to Dream with Eyes Wide Open, talks about the moment she asked God if anyone in the world was hurting more than she was. The answer changed everything. She opens up about what faith actually looks like in the darkest seasons, how writing became the way she survived before it ever became a book, and the therapist's metaphor about a "bed of nails" that reframed how she thinks about healing. She also shares what it took to finally speak the words she'd kept buried for years and what she wants every woman in the middle of her hardest season to know.

  Raising Critical Thinkers (And Becoming One Yourself) with Cheryle Cooper

  Jun 9, 202645 minS2

  What does it actually mean to think for yourself, and why is it so hard right now? In this episode, I sit down with Cheryle Cooper (Amarillo writer, editor, and educator) for an honest conversation about one of the most important skills we can develop as women: critical thinking. Cheryle shares how she intentionally wove critical thinking into her homeschool curriculum, why she believes we've been conditioned to outsource our thinking to outside voices, and what it looks like when we stop asking questions altogether. She also gets real about raising daughters who are now out in their communities doing exactly what she raised them to do — pausing, asking questions, and not just taking things at face value.
