In this episode, Creighton Clewis shares a story of strength that reaches far beyond the gym. Her journey started in a season marked by loss, grief, and questions about identity and worth. Through faith, community, and a commitment to healing, Creighton has become stronger in every part of her life.

We talk about the connection between inner transformation and outer change, how to build healthy relationships, and what it looks like to reframe negative thoughts and rebuild your sense of self. Creighton opens up about grief, mental health, community support, and the role her faith is playing as she moves forward with clarity and purpose.

This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck, anyone navigating a hard season, or anyone searching for the higher version of themselves. Creighton’s honesty and strength offer a grounded reminder that healing is possible and that you do not have to walk your journey alone.

In this episode, Jess sits with Erin Clark, who adopted How’s the Weather? as a gentler way to stay connected after the loss of her husband Greg. In the months following his passing, Erin found herself unable to answer even the kindest questions. She needed a way to be honest without having to explain everything she was holding.

So she turned to weather words.

Stormy. Foggy. Sunny with clouds. Clear for the moment.

Simple language that gave her room to breathe and helped others understand her without pressure.

Their conversation reflects Erin’s warmth, her humor, her faith, and the deep love she shared with Greg. It also explores how this softer check-in has begun helping kids, teens, and adults name what they’re carrying in a way that feels safe and manageable.

If you’ve ever wanted a kinder way to ask how someone is really doing, or you’ve struggled to find words in a hard season, this episode offers language, compassion, and steady hope.

What does it mean to stay grounded, human, and connected in a world that is accelerating faster than any of us imagined?

In Part 2 of their heartfelt and thought-provoking conversation, Jess Collicott and former technology leader turned realtor, Bridget Knaub, continue exploring what it feels like to navigate personal and societal change in the age of AI. Together they ask deeper questions about identity, authenticity, and what truly sets humans apart in a world where machines can replicate almost everything except our lived experience.

This episode dives into real stories and honest reflection. Jess and Bridget talk about the rise of AI-generated people, the value of imperfections, the role of human touch, and why genuine connection may become even more precious as technology advances. They explore how AI can free us to be more human, how to recognize when we have drifted from our core, and what it means to raise children in a future defined by both imagination and disruption.

They close by looking ahead. Ten years from now, what will we hope we got right about this season of change? And how do we stay grounded and authentic in the midst of so much uncertainty?

If Part 1 sparked your curiosity, Part 2 will deepen it.

If Part 1 felt like opening the door, Part 2 invites you to step inside.
