You Are Loved, Affirmed, and Not Alone 🌈


Hi Reader,

This week’s episode is a little different.

June is Pride Month, and I felt called to share something personal, from the heart. It’s about faith, love, identity, and how we make space for every person, exactly as they are.

I’ve been an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a conservative religion, but I never believed the parts that rejected people. As I got older, I found my own way back to faith—one that is rooted in mercy, inclusion, and unconditional love.

In this episode, I open up about how my spiritual journey shaped the way I support young people, parents, and families of all backgrounds. I share why I don’t need anyone to believe what I believe—I just want to meet people where they are and help them feel seen, safe, and supported.

Whether you’re religious, spiritual, skeptical, or still figuring it all out… this message is for you. 💛

Thank you for being part of this community. I hope this episode reminds you that you are loved, you are not alone, and you always have a place here.

With love,
Cynthia

Hey Reader, I've been hearing from so many of you about sleepless nights filled with racing thoughts, endless worry spirals, and that exhausting feeling of your mind refusing to shut off when your head hits the pillow. Whether you're a parent lying awake thinking about tomorrow's packed schedule (and wondering if you forgot something important), or you're a teen staring at the ceiling overthinking that conversation from three days ago - I see you, and I've created something specifically for...

Hi Reader, I recently had the honor of hosting a special guest on the podcast—Wendy Cole, a Transition Mentor who made a courageous decision at age 67 to finally live as her true self. This episode is more than a conversation about gender transition. It’s about self-acceptance, navigating fear, and honoring your identity—even when the world doesn’t make it easy. Wendy shares her deeply personal story and educates us on the difference between gender and sex, what it means to experience...

It's going to change how you look at your next meal. Your anxiety might actually be your blood sugar talking. Dr. McCarthy...
