Along the way, she shares how storytelling, music, and connection can bring dignity and visibility to people whose work often goes unseen.<br /><br />This episode is a powerful reminder that family can be formed in many ways, and that sometimes the most meaningful stories are the ones we never expected to live.<br /><br />Subscribe for more soulful conversations.<br /><br />Connect with us:<br />Visit Theresa's Website: <a href="http://www.theresabruno.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.theresabruno.net</a> <br />Follow Theresa on Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok: @Theresa.Harper.Bruno<br />Get your copy of "He's Not Coming Back": <a href="https://bit.ly/40qGX6Y" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://bit.ly/40qGX6Y</a> <br /><br />Connect with our guest:<br />Visit Lindsay's Website: <a href="https://lindsaylawler.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://lindsaylawler.com/</a> <br />Listen to Lindsay's Podcast "We Should Write": <a href="https://bit.ly/4rzzePr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://bit.ly/4rzzePr</a> <br />Listen to Lindsay on Road Gang Radio at Radio Nemo: <a href="https://bit.ly/4tV67b4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://bit.ly/4tV67b4</a> <br />Find Lindsay on Facebook: <a href="https://bit.ly/4kRML2o" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://bit.ly/4kRML2o</a> <br />Follow Lindsay on Instagram: <a href="https://bit.ly/3MP0mLp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://bit.ly/3MP0mLp</a>]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1115</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>adoption,infertility,motherhood,truckers,writing</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/321e96ac7ad952591bbedcdfa6b7cb19.jpg"/><itunes:season>2</itunes:season><itunes:episode>61</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Lindsay Lawler: When We Share Our Pain</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/lindsay-lawler-when-we-share-our-pain--70266682</link><description><![CDATA[What do you do when the life you imagined quietly falls apart?<br /><br />In this deeply honest conversation, Lindsay Lawler shares the story behind the stage lights — the years of infertility, the devastating phone call that changed everything, the loneliness she carried in silence, and the trauma that cracked her world wide open.<br /><br />At 37, Lindsay was told she had “the eggs of a 54-year-old.” What followed were fertility treatments, failed attempts, two adoptions that fell through, and a season of grief that tested her marriage, her faith, and her sense of identity.

We carry what we've lived through with us.

From flipping houses and raising kids to being challenged by her uncle to seek “a vision beyond your resources,” Ruth opens up about the struggles of imposter syndrome, divine appointments that shaped her path, and how she discovered her true purpose. She reflects on the DNA of home — creating rhythms that slow life down, building intentional family culture, and finding meaning in the places where nothing is wasted. Through her vulnerable stories, Ruth reminds us that faith, love, and legacy are the true foundations of home. ✨ If you’ve ever wondered whether your story has purpose, this conversation is for you. 🛎️ Subscribe for more soulful conversations.

Tune in for an honest, compassionate, and empowering conversation that reminds us to trust our bodies, hold our boundaries, and find strength in safe community.Connect with The Soul Talks:The Soul Talks website: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.soultalkswiththeresa.com/" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.soultalkswiththeresa.com/</a>YouTube: <a target="_blank" href="https://youtube.com/@soultalkswiththeresa?si=UQ-PHiZOVqqgA3W2" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://youtube.com/@soultalkswiththeresa?si=UQ-PHiZOVqqgA3W2</a>Instagram: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/thesoultalks.podcast?igsh=MWIzOWd1c3E4cmF6" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.instagram.com/thesoultalks.podcast?igsh=MWIzOWd1c3E4cmF6</a>Facebook: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555855691008&amp;mibextid=LQQJ4d" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555855691008&amp;mibextid=LQQJ4d</a>TikTok: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@thesoultalks.podcast?_t=ZT-8xcsH6SMXsF&amp;_r=1" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.tiktok.com/@thesoultalks.podcast?_t=ZT-8xcsH6SMXsF&amp;_r=1</a>Get your copy of Theresa's book "He's Not Coming Back": <a target="_blank" href="https://bit.ly/40qGX6Y" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://bit.ly/40qGX6Y</a>]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>733</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/321e96ac7ad952591bbedcdfa6b7cb19.jpg"/><itunes:season>2</itunes:season><itunes:episode>35</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>A Sacred Farewell: Nathalie Himmelrich on the Joy and Sorrow of Letting Go | S2 Ep 34</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/a-sacred-farewell-nathalie-himmelrich-on-the-joy-and-sorrow-of-letting-go-s2-ep-34--67802680</link><description><![CDATA[In this episode of The Soul Talks, Theresa continues her conversation with Nathalie Himmelrich, a grief &amp; trauma specialist, podcast host, and author.

I’ve been sitting with some of the responses I’ve received to my book, He's Not Coming Back: Rewriting Life After Loss. Messages filled with raw honesty, quiet pain, and deep reflection. Many of you have shared just how lonely this grief journey can be. One message simply said, “I don’t think I know how to dream anymore.” That line has stayed with me. In the early days of loss, we do what we must just to survive. But eventually—slowly, quietly—something begins to shift. There comes an invitation—from God, from the universe—to ask: What has this pain made of me? Who do I want to become on the other side of this? This Small Talk is a reflection on grief, loneliness, and the quiet power of choosing to begin again. To rewrite our story—not in spite of sorrow, but because of it. 💔➡️💫 Thank you for listening.

She joined us about a year ago, and with so many new listeners since then, I knew this conversation was worth revisiting. As the first African American female surgical fellow at Yale, Dr. Princess has broken barriers in extraordinary ways. But behind her achievements is the steady presence of her grandmother—the most powerful woman in her world—whose quiet strength and unwavering support shaped the path ahead. “You only fail if you stop.” Those words, passed down from her grandmother, became a foundation for Dr. Princess’ journey—from childhood dreams to medical milestones. This episode is a moving reflection on what happens when someone believes in you deeply—and how that kind of love can become a bridge to your future.

In this week’s Soul Talks Podcast episode with Sheri Ryland, we’re talking about trust and boundaries, and the quiet strength it takes to know what you need—and to honor it. It's not as rigid rules, but as deeply personal truths that help us navigate relationships, work, and life. When we trust ourselves, we begin to recognize what we can offer, what we’re willing to hold, and when it’s time to step away. Boundaries give us that clarity. And as we grow, they grow with us. People will fail us. That’s the hard and human part. But when we know how to listen to our own inner wisdom, we can move forward with confidence and compassion.

In Episode 25, Cindy vulnerably shares her journey as a mom navigating fear, control, and faith during a season when her daughter was struggling deeply. She opens up about the ache of watching someone you love numb their pain—and the prayer that shifted everything: “God, help me see what You see when You look at Anna.” This episode is full of wisdom for parents and caregivers who want to show up with love rather than fear. Cindy invites us to reflect on how our own unhealed pain can shape the way we see those closest to us—and how often we project our idea of success onto someone wired completely differently. Cindy’s story is a powerful reminder: you can’t give what you don’t have. The work of healing in us brings freedom to those we love. And every child deserves to be seen for who they are, not who we hoped they'd be. You’ll also hear how compartmentalized faith can limit emotional healing—and why truly seeing your child begins with looking inward. 🎧 Tune in to Episode 25 now. #SoulTalksPodcast #ParentingThroughPain #FaithAndMentalHealth #HealingInParenting #SeeYourChild #EmotionalHealing #CindyHalsted #SafePeople #SeenSoothedSafe #SoulCare]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">1d8eefa4-8d38-43b0-aed5-b833403ffb85</guid><pubDate>Wed, 28 May 2025 18:28:15 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/67802686/2025_05_28_18_28_06_8c820689_abee_492d_9df4_09a40f3f37d2.mp3" length="23645248" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Soul Talks with Theresa Bruno</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Get ready for such a powerful and insightful episode on complexities of parenting—especially when you're still healing yourself.

Cindy shares how her journey through pain, performance, and purpose has shaped her powerful ministry today. In this heartfelt and inspiring conversation, Cindy opens up about growing up in a spiritually rich but emotionally complex home, and how the loneliness she carried as a child ultimately drew her closer to God. She reflects on the identity crisis she faced after a spinal diagnosis shifted the trajectory of her athletic dreams—and how stepping into her first pageant became an unexpected turning point toward healing and wholeness.

In this episode of Therapy with Sheri, we’re diving into the pain of betrayal in relationships—what it does to you, how it impacts your self-worth, and why love alone isn’t always enough.

As I’ve often said, I think we are all in some sort of survival journey.
