The Soul Talks Podcast

In this episode of The Soul Talks, Theresa sits down with singer-songwriter Dave Barnes for a deeply honest conversation about success, family, faith, and what really matters in the long run.At the height of his career, with a hit song taking off and life accelerating, Dave found himself asking a question many of us quietly wrestle with: Is this it? What followed wasn’t just a shift in his career—but a redefinition of success itself.Together, Theresa and Dave explore the tension between ambition and presence, and the difficult choices that come with both. Dave opens up about choosing family over constant growth, the reality that success can never fully satisfy, and the intentional decisions that have shaped his life as a husband and father.They also dive into marriage—the way it evolves over time, the beauty of growing alongside someone, and the humility it takes to keep showing up through every season. Dave shares candidly about faith as a lived, everyday practice, not something performative, but something steady and grounding.This conversation is a reminder that a meaningful life isn’t built on bigger moments—but on choosing what matters, again and again. Subscribe for more soulful conversations.Connect with us:Visit Theresa's Website: www.theresabruno.net Follow Theresa on Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok: @Theresa.Harper.BrunoGet your copy of "He's Not Coming Back": https://bit.ly/40qGX6Y Connect with our guest:Visit Dave's Website: https://www.davebarnes.com/ Listen to Dave's Podcast "Dadville": http://bit.ly/4cOEFFT Find Dave on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/davebarnesmusic/ Follow Dave on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davebarnesmusic/ 

In this episode of The Soul Talks, Theresa sits down with singer-songwriter and storyteller Dave Barnes for a conversation that is as heartfelt as it is unexpectedly funny.From growing up in a small Mississippi town to finding his way into music later than most, Dave shares the moment when music suddenly shifted from something he heard… to something he felt. That moment would quietly shape the path of his life and career.Together, they explore the intersection of creativity, calling, and identity — how humor became a bridge for Dave early on, helping him find his footing on stage, and how he eventually learned to embrace both sides of who he is: the comedian and the songwriter.Dave opens up about the reality behind the music industry — the awkward early gigs, the lack of a clear roadmap, and the slow, organic way his career unfolded. He also reflects on writing songs for himself versus writing for others, and how success sometimes creates unexpected new lanes in life.This episode is full of laughter, honesty, and insight into what it looks like to follow something you don’t fully understand yet… and trust that it will lead you where you’re meant to go.If you’ve ever wrestled with your calling, your identity, or how all the pieces of who you are fit together — this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air.Subscribe for more soulful conversations. Connect with us:Visit Theresa's Website: www.theresabruno.net Follow Theresa on Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok: @Theresa.Harper.BrunoGet your copy of "He's Not Coming Back": https://bit.ly/40qGX6Y Connect with our guest:Visit Dave's Website: https://www.davebarnes.com/ Listen to Dave's Podcast "Dadville": http://bit.ly/4cOEFFT Find Dave on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/davebarnesmusic/ Follow Dave on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davebarnesmusic/

What do you do when the life you imagined quietly falls apart?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.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. At the same time, she was navigating profound personal trauma and a spiritual awakening that shifted everything.But this story does not end in despair.It ends in surrender.It ends in healing.It ends in adoption.It ends with a daughter.Together, Theresa and Lindsay talk about:Infertility and the quiet shame women carryThe strain infertility can place on a marriageTrauma, secrecy, and what happens when we finally “say the thing”Spiritual awakening in the middle of heartbreakWhy adoption shouldn’t be considered a last resortLearning to metabolize pain instead of being consumed by itThis episode is for the woman who is waiting.For the one crying on the kitchen floor.For the one carrying something alone.When we share our pain, it lessens its power. And sometimes the very thing that breaks us open becomes the doorway to the most beautiful chapter of our lives.

In this deeply practical and soul-level conversation, Theresa sits down with Jade Warshaw, co-host of The Ramsey Show, to unpack what no one tells us about money... and why finances are never just about numbers.Jade shares how emotional wounds, shame, pride, fear, and belief systems quietly shape our financial behaviors. Instead of offering surface-level advice to “just do better,” she walks through the deeper work: identifying what’s really driving our decisions and addressing the root, not just the symptoms.From forgiveness and freedom to resilience and long-term vision, this episode explores the connection between belief, behavior, and the emotional undercurrents that steer our lives. Jade introduces a powerful framework: if behavior is the car, belief sits in the driver’s seat — and our emotions steer the wheel.The conversation also takes a beautiful turn into what might be on the horizon including family dinners, cooking, and the lost art of creating home — reminding us that money, time, and belonging are more connected than we think.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or like you’re drowning financially, Jade offers this reminder: it’s a season. Keep swimming. Name what you’re feeling. Call it by name. And start driving toward freedom. 🛎️ Subscribe for more soulful conversations.Connect with us:Visit Theresa's Website: www.theresabruno.netFollow Theresa on Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok: @Theresa.Harper.BrunoGet your copy of "He's Not Coming Back": https://bit.ly/40qGX6YConnect with our guest:Visit Jade's Website: https://bit.ly/3M5dT16Find Jade on Facebook: https://bit.ly/4rkWkcxFollow Jade on Instagram: https://bit.ly/4tNHXzo

In this poignant and uplifting episode of Soul Talks with Theresa Bruno, Theresa sits down with the legendary author and speaker Patsy Clairmont for a deeply personal conversation about the intersection of suffering, faith, and the unexpected medicine of humor.Patsy opens up about her remarkable journey, from her early days struggling with agoraphobia and anxiety to the "mind-blowing" experience of speaking to arenas of 25,000 women during her 20-year tenure with Women of Faith. She shares candid reflections on the early, lean years of ministry and the "joy of responsibility" that comes with being a storyteller for God.The conversation turns to a tender place as Patsy discusses her current "grief journey" following the loss of Les, her husband of 60 years. With her trademark vulnerability and wit, she shares:The "Rocket" Romance: How she met her husband in a Michigan ghost town after stepping out into the street to stop his car.The Weight of Grief: The profound challenge of rediscovering her identity as a widow and the small, sweet moments she misses most.The Strategy of Thought: Her practice of "casting down" fearful imaginations and replacing them with things that are good, true, and pure.Laughter as Medicine: Why humor is a vital tool for healing, helping to "let off just enough grief" to allow the soul to catch its breath.Join us for an episode that proves God meets us with the same grace in both our highest victories and our deepest valleys.

In this deeply moving episode of The Soul Talks, Theresa sits down with Patsy Clairmont, beloved author and speaker known for her wit, wisdom, and unmistakable joy — and hears the story that many people don’t know.Long before the stages, the books, and the laughter, Patsy was a young wife and mother trapped by overwhelming anxiety and agoraphobia, unable to leave her bedroom and without language for what she was experiencing. In an era when anxiety wasn’t openly discussed, she felt isolated, ashamed, and unsure if freedom was even possible.Patsy shares how healing didn’t begin with a dramatic breakthrough, but with one small act of obedience — “make your bed” — and how that single step became the beginning of a path toward faith, responsibility, and hope. She reflects on the people who walked alongside her, the power of Scripture spoken out loud, and how God used her brokenness to eventually bring healing to others.This conversation is for anyone who feels trapped, overwhelmed, or discouraged — and for those who wonder if their story could ever be redeemed. Patsy’s journey is a reminder that freedom often begins quietly, one step at a time. Subscribe for more soulful conversations. Connect with us: Visit Theresa's Website: www.theresabruno.net Follow Theresa on Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok: @Theresa.Harper.Bruno Get your copy of "He's Not Coming Back": https://bit.ly/40qGX6Y Connect with our guest:Visit Patsy's Website: https://www.patsyclairmont.com/ Follow Patsy on Instagram: https://bit.ly/497yL0J Find Patsy on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PatsyClairmont

This week on the Soul Talks Podcast, I’m continuing my conversation with someone who means so much to me—not just as a guest, but as a dear friend.Dr. Princess Thomas Williams has broken incredible ground as the first African American female surgical fellow at Yale. But in this episode, we go beyond the titles and talk about what it really looks like to live with purpose when life feels overwhelming. She shares what it was like to be on call at all hours while raising a 1.5-year-old… how faith shaped her through medical school and through heartbreak… and how motherhood is changing the way she leads, practices, and dreams. We talk about raising African American children in today’s world. About divorce, and what it’s like to live with the question “why?” until you're finally okay with not having an answer. About the kind of faith that holds you steady when nothing else does. This conversation is tender, honest, and deeply human. I’m so honored to hold space for it—and to call Dr. Princess my friend. #SoulTalksPodcast #DrPrincessThomasWilliams #MotherhoodAndMedicine #FaithInHardPlaces #BlackMothersRaisingSons #LivingOnPurpose #HealingThroughStory #YouAreNotAlone #DivorceAndFaith #WomenInMedicine #RepresentationMatters #ResilientWomen #LegacyOfWomen #GodInTheDetails #BlackExcellence #TenderConversations #DearFriends #FaithThatCarriesYou

Today, I have a Small Talk to share. 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. Thank you for walking this road with me. #SoulTalksPodcast #GriefJourney #LifeAfterLoss #LonelinessInGrief #HealingAfterLoss #RewriteYourStory #FaithAndHealing #TheresaSmallTalks #ChristianGriefSupport #WidowSupport #HopeAfterGrief #EmotionalHealing #ChoosingHealing #GodInGrief #GriefIsLove #LearningToLiveAgain #LifeAfterLosingHim #WhenYouFeelAlone #PermissionToGrieve #HealingTakesTime #SmallStepsBigHealing

Today on the Soul Talks podcast, I’m so excited to welcome back my dear friend, Dr. Princess Thomas Williams, to share her story. 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. Dr. Princess’ story is inspiring, refreshing, and full of hope. I wish there were more stories like this—and I’m honored to share hers with you. #SoulTalksPodcast #DrPrincessThomasWilliams #WomenInMedicine #BlackExcellence #RepresentationMatters #BreakingBarriers #LegacyOfWomen #HealingThroughStory #YouOnlyFailIfYouStop #InspiringStories #MedicalTrailblazers #ResilientWomen #DreamBig #MentorshipMatters #BlackHistoryEveryday #GenerationalStrength #WomenWhoInspire #YouAreNotAlone

It all starts with trusting ourselves. 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.
