A lifetime of vague symptoms can make you stop asking questions. When a clinician finally names the pain—painful bladder syndrome (PBS)—the relief is real and the path forward gets bright. We talk through what that moment felt like, why a diagnosis can unlock calm, and how to turn insight into daily choices that reduce symptoms and return joy to the body.

We get specific about triggers and tradeoffs: alcohol, caffeine, citrus, chocolate, artificial sweeteners, and processed foods vs. a baseline of gentle, whole food staples. An elimination diet becomes a map, not a punishment, helping us find personal thresholds and rebuild confidence. Movement, hydration, and sleep show up as non-negotiable allies. Most importantly, a mindset practice—gratitude, reframing, and self-advocacy—transforms compliance into commitment. It’s not about losing treats; it’s about gaining clear mornings, steady energy, and pain-free workdays.

Alongside health, we open the door on community and belief. One person’s yes years ago sparked our business and this show, and now we’re paying that forward—mentoring friends, fielding unexpected messages, and seeing proof that storytelling compresses someone else’s timeline. We revisit our origin story, reflect on therapy wins that improved communication, and talk about parenting for the long game: modeling values, celebrating growth, and planning adventures that build independence and trust.

If you’re navigating chronic symptoms, craving practical steps, or just need one voice to say you can do this, this conversation is for you. Hit follow, share this with someone who needs clarity, and leave a review to help others find the show. Your next step could be the one that changes everything.

Davey Gets Rich: a Business Startup Tale Davey Mars Want to avoid a business startup disaster? Follow Davey as he does everything wrong and still builds a successful new company. I'll recap the day's wins and losses, while sharing the mindset, tools and ideas around how I keep myself on track in the midst of chaos and overcome procrastination, fear, impostor syndrome and good old laziness. Season 2 starts Jan 2nd, 2022. "I have to admit, it's getting better." Mars and Its Canals by Percival Lowell (1855 - 1916) LibriVox In the days before telescope photography, astronomers had to draw what they thought they saw through the eyepiece throughout the long dark nights. Sometimes they saw saw more than there really was to see, and a bit over 100 years ago Percival Lowell published books on what he was sure were canals on Mars, signs of intelligent civilization. (In case you too are skeptical, we also have at Librivox a criticism of Lowell's theories in a book published a year later (in 1907) by Alfred Russel Wallace.) - Summary by ToddHW Those Who Aunt The BabyMakers Auntie Mags (Dana Quercioli) and Aunt Pat (Colleen Doyle) see the world through aunt-colored glasses. And if you don’t know what that means, Mags and Pat will talk at you until you get it. From dismantling the “fun uncle” narrative, to current events and how they pertain to aunts, to debating whether Marshall’s or Kohl’s is the superior place to buy decent luggage, you’ll gain deeper insight and appreciation for the aunts in your life.
