  • Why Stories Matter: The Detroit Lions, Resilience, and Hope

    Why Stories Matter: The Detroit Lions, Resilience, and Hope
    2025/12/19
    What starts as a conversation about the Detroit Lions quickly becomes something much deeper.

    In this episode, Theresa sits down with Cindy to explore how story—not just sport—creates connection, resilience, and hope. Through the lens of the Lions’ journey, they talk about perseverance after loss, leadership without victim mentality, and how belief can carry us through hard seasons—on the field and in life.

    Cindy shares why she believes football is really about people: the families behind the players, the cities that rally together, and the power of choosing faith and commitment even when outcomes aren’t guaranteed. Theresa reflects on finding unexpected connection with her adult son through the Lions, and how shared stories can become safe ground for healing after grief.

    This is a conversation about overcoming, showing up in pain, and why—especially during the holidays—we need hopeful stories more than ever.

    You don’t have to love football to love this episode.
    You just have to be human.

    2025/12/03
    n this heartwarming Small Talk, Theresa sits down in Detroit with her dear friend and founder of Secure Coaching, Cindy Halsted, for a conversation that blends family legacy, loyalty, friendship, and football. Cindy opens up about the emotional roots of her lifelong love for the Detroit Lions—stretching back to her immigrant grandparents, her father’s coaching legacy, and the Monday Night Football ritual she shared with him as a child.

    Together, Theresa and Cindy explore what the Lions’ cultural transformation can teach us about leadership, belief without evidence, and staying with people even when they’re struggling. They talk about the visionary leadership of Sheila Ford Hamp, the team’s renewed spirit under Dan Campbell, and the deeper meaning of building a culture rooted in heart, grit, and honor.

    There’s laughter and pure joy too—especially when Cindy presents Theresa with a surprise Amon-Ra St. Brown jersey, a nickname Theresa has now fully embraced. And yes… Saint Brown, if you see this, these two are calling you in! You’re officially invited to watch, and they hope you’ll hear the love and support behind this whole episode.

  • Why Setting Boundaries Isn't Conflict, It's Love

    Why Setting Boundaries Isn't Conflict, It's Love
    2025/11/26
    Navigating family during the holidays can feel overwhelming, especially when old expectations and unspoken pressures come rushing back. In this conversation, therapist Sheri offers grounded, compassionate guidance for setting healthy boundaries—without guilt, conflict, or shame.

    We talk about why kids melt down at gatherings (and why adults often feel the same way), how to respond when relatives push too hard, and why protecting your peace is an act of love, not rebellion. Sheri also breaks down the myth that “family means we can say anything,” and offers simple, practical ways to create connection without abandoning yourself.

    If you’ve ever felt anxious heading into the holidays, struggled with family dynamics, or needed permission to say “I’m not ready for that,” this episode will meet you right where you are.

    Topics we explore:
    • Setting boundaries with clarity and kindness
    • Why “clear is kind” changes everything
    • Staying regulated during stressful gatherings
    • Giving kids (and yourself) room to breathe
    • Letting go of guilt around holiday expectations
    • Building meaningful connection outside the pressure of tradition
    • How to protect your peace without creating conflict

    This conversation is honest, empowering, and full of wisdom for anyone longing to show up to family in a healthier, more grounded way.

  • Navigating Holiday Emotions with Sheri Ryland

    Navigating Holiday Emotions with Sheri Ryland
    2025/11/19
    Holiday seasons have a way of revealing everything we’ve been trying to hold together.
    In this deeply honest and comforting conversation, our resident therapist Sheri Ryland returns to talk with Theresa about why grief, identity loss, and emotional pain feel so much heavier this time of year and what we can actually do about it).

    Sheri explains why the holidays magnify grief, whether the loss is a person, a marriage, a role we once filled, or even the version of ourselves we feel disconnected from. Together, they explore what it means to walk into holiday gatherings feeling out of place, how to navigate blended families, the loneliness of being “the outsider,” and how small shifts in communication can change everything.

    This episode is a soft place to land for anyone who finds the holiday season emotional, overwhelming, or simply different than it used to be.
    You’re not alone, and you don’t have to pretend you’re okay.
