When Your Stomach Stops Working: Healing Gastroparesis, Faith, and Finding Sisterhood
In this soul-stirring episode, Angela shares her courageous journey from being dismissed by doctors to finding healing from gastroparesis—an all-too-common side effect of popular weight loss injections. Living in a remote area of Hawaii, she felt isolated, sick, and hopeless—until faith, functional wellness, and a powerful community transformed her life.
We talk about messy Christianity, how God uses imperfect people to do His work, and the importance of showing up authentically—even when you’re still healing. Angela opens up about becoming a coach, why investing in herself changed everything, and how sisterhood gave her the strength to lead others. If you’ve ever felt unworthy of healing or ministry, this episode is your reminder that you were made for more.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
