About This Podcast
Welcome to The Naked Podcast.
Where one powerful question guides every conversation:
“Is there a time in your life when everything changed?”
Here, you’ll hear the honest, unedited stories of people from around the world—moments of loss, love, breakthrough, and becoming. Stories that remind us we’re never as alone as we think.
Along the way, I share Naked Notes—personal pieces I’ve written about life, love, and the messy middle. And every fifth episode, my husband Gregg joins me as we revisit the times when everything shifted in our own marriage—the hard seasons, the healing, and the hope that came from it.
As Brené Brown says: “Vulnerability is not weakness, it’s our most accurate measure of courage.”
This is our space to practice courage, connection, and the kind of truth-telling that changes us all.
🤍🤍
