Strong Moms, Strong Families: A Conversation with Meg Kuhnle

 


Strong Moms, Strong Families: A Conversation with Meg Kuhnle

In this heartwarming episode of the Life Unscripted Podcast, I had the incredible pleasure of sitting down with Meg Kuhnle—aka The Capable Mom Coach—for a conversation that felt like two moms sharing a deep, needed breath together.

Meg is a certified Life, Health, Wellness, and Menopause Coach and the heart behind MegaThrive Coaching. With over 15 years of experience, a degree in Exercise Science, and three kids of her own, she’s no stranger to motherhood's wild, beautiful chaos.

When our conversation began, Meg’s authenticity and compassion poured through. She reminded us that being a mom isn’t about doing everything—it’s about learning to make space for ourselves and our families without losing who we are.

Letting Go of Guilt and Overwhelm

One decisive moment came when we discussed the ever-present feeling that we’re never doing “enough.” Whether folding mountains of laundry or trying to keep up with healthy meals, we often live with a persistent inner critic. Meg’s advice? Start by telling yourself, “I’m doing pretty well right now.” Because chances are, you really are.

She also shared how tuning into your nervous system—yes, even pausing to ask yourself, “What do I need right now?”—can be a game-changer. It's not just about external help (though we need that, too); it’s about internal compassion.

The Invisible Load of Motherhood

We laughed about our kids making plans for lunch without informing the grown-ups (because,, of course,, they did). We reflected on how being a mom means being the ship's captain, the household's leader. While that title can feel heavy, Meg encouraged us to see it as empowering.

“You are doing way better than you think you are,” she said—and I felt that truth in my bones.

Energy Drains and How to Reclaim Yourself

Meg broke down the layers of tiredness we experience as moms—physical, emotional, mental, and sensory—and why a one-size-fits-all solution won’t cut it. Her practical, grace-filled tips like drinking water, stepping outside without your phone, or putting your feet up for just five minutes were simple, accessible ways to start caring for our energy again.

Identity After Motherhood

Perhaps the most profound part of our talk was exploring identity. Who are we beyond the laundry, tantrums, and school pickups? Meg reminded us that it’s okay if our hobbies change or our priorities shift. What matters is staying connected to who we are becoming—not just who we were.

And don’t underestimate the power of a simple, honest question: “How are you?” Especially when we ask it of ourselves.

Awaken Your Inner Guide: A Soulful Conversation with Ellie Lalibertรฉ


Awaken Your Inner Guide: A Soulful Conversation with Ellie Lalibertรฉ

Published by Rosabel Zohfeld | Life Unscripted Podcast | April 2025

“No one is to be blamed for your triggers, as they are all mirrors of you.” — Ellie Lalibertรฉ


Rediscovering the Voice Within

Have you ever felt like something deeper within you was trying to speak? A voice beyond the noise, the to-do lists, the pain—one that holds peace and power? That’s the essence of my recent conversation with Ellie Lalibertรฉ, writer, spiritual guide, and author of Letters From You to You: Awaken Your Power Through Conversations with Your Higher Self.

Ellie’s book offers 21 poetic, potent letters written from the voice of our inner being—guiding us through emotional healing, surrender, grief, and self-realization. These aren’t just pages to read—they're letters to live.

๐Ÿ“– Letters From You to You is available on Amazon and Audible. Visit lettersbyellie.com to learn more.


What It Means to Live from Your Authentic Self

In our conversation, Ellie explained the difference between the default self (our conditioned ego identity) and the authentic self (our inner being). Naming her inner self “Ellie” helped her distinguish between reaction and presence.

“When I react from fear, I ask: am I being Michelle or Ellie right now?”

This daily practice of self-awareness creates space for transformation, especially in challenging moments. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about being present.


Emotional Triggers Are Mirrors, Not Enemies

One of my favorite insights from Ellie’s book is the reframing of emotional triggers. Instead of labeling them as bad or shameful, she encourages us to view them curiously. Triggers reveal patterns—often rooted in childhood—that are ready to be healed.

If you’ve been cut off in traffic and stewed over it for hours, you’ve experienced how the ego clings to stories. But with practice, we can witness the reaction, pause, and respond gracefully.

๐Ÿ™ Spiritual growth begins with self-observation. It continues with compassion.


Make Space, Not Time

Ellie beautifully explains that your inner being isn’t asking for more hours in your day but for space in your heart. Whether washing dishes, sitting in traffic, or caring for your family, you can shift your awareness and invite your authentic self into that moment.

“Time is already there. It’s space we need to create.”


Embracing the Unknown

Letting go of control is a common struggle,  especially during life transitions. But Ellie reminds us that the unknown isn’t something to fear. It’s where freedom lives. When we stop trying to grip everything so tightly, we make room for life to surprise, heal, and guide us.


Daily Practices for Inner Peace

Here are a few practices Ellie swears by:

  • Silent meditation every morning (40–60 minutes)

  • Witnessing thoughts without judgment

  • Allowing emotions to be fully felt and released

  • Naming her authentic self as a daily check-in tool

๐Ÿง˜‍♀️ “If you can’t sit with yourself in silence, you’ll always be at conflict with others.”


Gentle Words for Heavy Days

For anyone navigating grief, loss, or emotional overwhelm, Ellie offers this tender guidance:

“Let yourself feel everything. Sit in the discomfort. Your higher self is already speaking—you just need to make space to listen.”

Sometimes the most radical thing we can do is not rush our healing.


What’s Next for Ellie?

Ellie is wwritinga new book faboutpracticing witness consciousness and plans to launch silent retreats where readers can emore effectively ngage with her letters  These retreats will offer space for reflection, stillness, and deep connection to yone'shigher self.

When Advocacy Becomes a Lifeline: A Conversation with Melissa Winger

 



When Advocacy Becomes a Lifeline: A Conversation with Melissa Winger

Episode Recap: Life Unscripted Podcast with Rosabel

Author Melissa Winger joins the Life Unscripted Podcast to share her journey as a mother advocating for her son with complex medical needs. In this powerful episode, she reveals the emotional toll of navigating a broken healthcare system—and why her story is a call to action for all of us.


๐Ÿฉบ Real Stories, Real Impact

In a profoundly moving episode of The Life Unscripted Podcast with Rosabel, I interviewed Melissa Winger, a mother, advocate, and author of Who Cares? The Real Patient Experience. Melissa’s story is a testament to what it means to advocate not just with passion but with resilience—through heartbreak, finterviewednd moments of isolation that many families quietly endure.

Melissa became a mom at 18, stepping into a world of medical unknowns when her son was born with rare genetic conditions that went undiagnosed for months. From being dismissed by ER staff to navigating a maze of home health agencies, she quickly realized that families like hers aren’t just underserved—they're often unheard.

“Why am I always having to defend my child’s existence?” she asked. A question no parent should ever have to voice.


๐ŸŽ™ What We Talked About

In our conversation, Melissa opened up about:

  • The emotional toll of long-term medical caregiving and advocacy.

  • What’s broken in the healthcare system—and how poor reimbursement and high burnout drive providers and families alike to the brink.

  • How can we advocate without becoming adversarial, and why does a partnership approach often yield better care?

  • Moments of light, like when a single pediatrician simply said, “You’re doing a great job.” Those words changed everything.

Melissa’s story goes beyond one family—it’s a lens into the lives of thousands navigating fragmented care systems while trying to live fully and love deeply.


๐Ÿ“– About Who Cares?

Melissa’s book isn’t just her story—it’s an exposรฉ on the structural failures of our healthcare system, backed by deep research. Each chapter begins with a personal experience and evolves into a broader discussion about systems like home care, patient safety, and the la deep-researchedg-term impact of inaccessible or dismissive healthcare.

If you’re a caregiver, a provider, a policymaker—or simply someone who wants to understand what genuine patient-centered care should look like—this book is for you.

Embracing Neurodivergence: A Conversation with Rebecca Engle



Embracing Neurodivergence: A Conversation with Rebecca Engle

By Rosabel V. Zohfeld

In a powerful and profoundly insightful episode of the Life Unscripted Podcast, I sat down with Rebecca Engle, an author, teacher, and passionate advocate for neurodivergent individuals. Her journey from a non-speaking child to a voice for thousands is not just remarkable—it’s revolutionary.

Rebecca was diagnosed with autism at the age of three. At the time, she only spoke 22 words by age five and was told by professionals that she would never live independently. Today, she is an educator, author of Step Into My Shoes, and a member of the Autism Community Networks Advisory Board. She is also preparing to release her second book, Tangled and Silent Norms, a resource designed to break down barriers in understanding the neurodivergent experience.

A Story of Resilience and Advocacy

Rebecca shared how traditional educational environments often rewarded masking—suppressing natural behaviors to fit into rigid systems—while punishing authenticity. Her early experiences left her feeling unseen and unheard, but with the support of her mother and a few key teachers, she learned to self-advocate and push against the limiting beliefs society tried to place on her.

“Don’t let people peel your stickers off,” Rebecca said.
She uses the metaphor of a Rubik’s cube to describe the beauty of complexity—and the importance of solving, not shortcutting, life’s unique puzzles.

From the Classroom to the Conference Stage

Rebecca’s advocacy began not in a boardroom but on the playground—as a young girl, offering advice to special ed teachers. Since then, she’s become a powerful voice in the autism and neurodivergent community. Her first book, Step Into My Shoes, gives readers a firsthand look into the everyday experience of a special education student. Readers from all walks of life have found themselves reflected in its pages.

Her upcoming release, Tangled and Silent Norms, arrives May 1 and is designed for adults—especially parents and educators—who want a clearer, more compassionate understanding of neurodivergence. It’s short, approachable, and grounded in research, to inspire further learning and empathy.

What We Can All Do

Rebecca offered practical, heartfelt advice on how society can move beyond mere “awareness” into true celebration of neurodivergence:

  • Assume competence. Everyone processes and communicates differently—start by believing in their abilities.

  • Honor all forms of communication. Speech is not the only way people express themselves.

  • Redefine success. Let go of outdated, one-size-fits-all metrics.

  • Respect sensory needs. Fidgets, headphones, movement, and non-traditional classroom behaviors are not distractions but tools.

  • Create connection over control. Building trust matters more than enforcing compliance.

Connect with Rebecca

Rebecca is committed to helping others better understand and support neurodivergent individuals. You can connect with her through:

  • Instagram: @StitchesStanzas and @RE02.20

  • Facebook: Becca Engle

  • LinkedIn: Rebecca Engle

  • Books on Amazon: Step Into My Shoes (new link coming soon for Tangled and Silent Norms)

She’ll also be speaking at the Hustle + Socialize Conference this summer and presenting (in person and virtually) in Austin on June 20 about inclusive education strategies for autistic children.

Prevention Before Desperation: Changing the Conversation on Suicide


๐ŸŽ™️ Prevention Before Desperation: Changing the Conversation on Suicide

By Rosabel V. Zohfeld


“Having a conversation might just save a life.”

In one of the most heartfelt episodes of Life Unscripted Podcast, I sat down with two extraordinary people whose personal experiences and advocacy are reshaping how we approach suicide prevention. Deborah Susan—author, suicide attempt survivor, and certified HCA—joined us alongside Brian Wardale, whose deeply layered story includes caregiving, grief, trauma, and survival.

Together, they’ve created a bold and compassionate initiative: SurvivorsofHopelessness.com, a program rooted in early prevention and emotional education. Their mission is clear—prevention must happen before desperation sets in.


๐Ÿ” Prevention Over Intervention

Today’s model of mental health care is reactive. Deborah and Brian are determined to shift that by creating tools for youth—especially ages 8 to 13—so they can develop emotional intelligence before reaching crisis.

“We teach them to understand the bigger picture,” Deborah said. “Hopelessness can feel like the end. But it isn’t.”


❌ Debunking Common Myths About Suicide

Brian helped us dismantle one of the most harmful assumptions:

“People who die by suicide don’t want to die. They want to escape pain.”

They also challenged the idea that talking about suicide encourages it. On the contrary, silence breeds misinformation. Kids are already hearing about suicide—from TV, friends, and social media. If parents avoid the topic, they risk leaving their children vulnerable to dangerous myths.

“If you're not talking about it, someone else is,” Brian said. “And you won’t know where they're getting their information.”


๐Ÿ‘จ‍๐Ÿ‘ฉ‍๐Ÿ‘ง‍๐Ÿ‘ฆ What Parents and Caregivers Must Know

Deborah was clear:

“Teaching your kids about suicide is as important as teaching them to cross the street or wear a seatbelt.”

By initiating honest, age-appropriate conversations about emotional pain and resilience, parents can become a crucial line of early defense. Their program offers a simple, one-hour video and companion workbook designed to be accessible and transformative.


๐Ÿ’” My Personal Story: From Survivor to Advocate

This episode hit home. I lost my mother to suicide as a teenager. A counselor once told me, “Statistically, you might do what your mother did.” That moment fueled something in me: a refusal to be defined by statistics and a deep belief in individuality.

“Each of us is born with unique fingerprints—how can we be anything but unique souls?”

I shared this on the podcast because I want others who’ve been left behind by suicide to know—they’re not alone. There is healing in truth.


๐Ÿ–ผ️ Insert Image Here:

Prompt:

“A teenage girl standing alone in a school hallway, light shining from a window, symbolizing resilience after loss.”


๐Ÿ” From Pain to Purpose: How Deborah and Brian Teamed Up

Their partnership started through a chance connection in hospice care. What followed was years of collaboration, healing, and the creation of an educational tool that fills a gap in the world of mental health.

They speak with sincerity, humor, and depth—and their lived experience is their most powerful credential.

“This isn’t just a conversation,” Brian said. “It’s a responsibility.”


๐Ÿง  Recharging the Heart: How Advocates Protect Their Energy

Both guests shared how important it is to set emotional boundaries after sharing such intense stories. They recharge through solitude, music, personal rituals, and quiet reflection.

Whether introverted or extroverted, they both agree:

“You can’t pour from an empty cup.”


❤️ What Can You Do?

Start with kindness. Tell someone they matter. Ask how they’re really doing. Share a memory of when they made a difference in your life. You may never know how much it means—or how much it helps.

If you’re the one hurting, hear this: Wait one more day. Give yourself 24 hours. Then another.

Because this too shall pass.

Transforming Workplace Culture: A Life Unscripted Conversation with Katherine Robinette

Katherine Robinette

๐Ÿช‘ Change Doesn’t Have to Be a Battle—It Can Be a Table

By Rosabel V. Zohfeld

Culture. We talk about it all the time in the workplace. But do we really understand what it is—or how to shift it for the better?

In a recent episode of the Life Unscripted Podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Katherine Robinette, a former marketer turned company culture strategist, to unpack the myths, moments, and methods behind what it means to create a workplace people don’t just tolerate, but truly belong in.

Let me tell you—this conversation lit a fire in me.

๐ŸŒฑ From Performer to People-Centered Leader

Katherine’s journey is a tapestry of seemingly disconnected roles: performer, nonprofit leader, marketing professional, consultant. But when I asked her to connect the dots, she shared a powerful truth: the common thread is people. The desire to educate, uplift, and create spaces where people feel seen has always been at the heart of her work.

“I thought I was going to be a teacher,” she said, “but life had other plans.” And like many of us, Katherine wore armor in the corporate world. Not literal armor, but the kind we put on to survive in places that ask us to fit in rather than let us belong.

That’s where her transformation began.

๐Ÿ› ️ The TABLE Framework: A Seat for Everyone

Katherine’s signature approach to cultural transformation is her five-step TABLE framework—Trust, Alignment, Belonging, Leadership, and Engagement. But this isn’t your average acronym. This is a mindset shift.: It

“Most leaders go into change assuming it's going to be an uphill battle,” Katherine said. “But it doesn’t have to be. If you bring people to the table early—give them voice and clarity—the resistance melts.”

A few things that stood out:

  • Target Your Goals: How can people walk with you if they don’t understand the destination?

  • Address Expectations: Don’t assume what people fear. Ask them.

  • Build Simplicity: Avoid overload. Focus on what people need to know to succeed.

  • Lean into Trust: Transparency isn’t optional—it’s survival.

  • Evaluate and Adjust: You won’t get it all right. That’s okay. Adjust along the way.

It’s a powerful model rooted in empathy, strategy, and real-world experience.

๐Ÿง  Why We Resist Change (And How to Fix It)

Change fatigue is real. In today’s whirlwind of AI rollouts, leadership transitions, and software updates, employees are stretched thin—and often kept in the dark. Katherine nailed it when she said:

“Leaders forget to connect the dots between a change and how it will make the employee’s life better.”

Without that connection, even the best ideas fall flat. But when we treat people like partners instead of pawns, everything changes.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Communication Is Everything—And We’re Drowning in It

We joked about how chaotic internal communication can be—apps, emails, Slack messages, bulletin boards. No one knows where the real information is anymore.

Her advice? Pick one place. Make it official. And repeat important messages often, in clear, human language. Communication shouldn’t feel like decoding a riddle.

๐ŸŒ Leading from the Middle

One of my favorite parts of the conversation was this: You don’t have to be “the boss” to be a culture shifter.

Katherine calls it leading from the middle—making change in your small circle and letting the ripples spread. “Start with your team,” she says. Create your own corner of excellence. Others will notice.”

And I felt that deeply.

๐Ÿ”ฎ The Future of Work? More Human.

Katherine’s dream workplace?

“A place where people can show up, speak up, and step up as themselves—without apology.”

Not chameleoning. Not fitting in. Belonging.

When people feel safe and seen, they contribute their best ideas and authentic selves, and everybody wins.

✨ Favorite Takeaways

  • Best compliment she ever got?
    “Working with you is like hang gliding while tethered to a sports car.” (That image stuck with me!)

  • Managers, stop doing this:
    “Quit going to every meeting. Seriously.”

  • What does belonging feel like?
    “Unity of vision. Support in strife. Laughter in learning.”
    (If that doesn’t warm your soul, I don’t know what will.)

From Trauma to Triumph: Karin Thompson’s Journey of Forgiveness and Hope

From Trauma to Triumph: Karin Thompson’s Journey of Forgiveness and Hope

On a recent episode of Life Unscripted, I had the honor of interviewing Karin Thompson, an author, speaker, and woman of unwavering faith. Her life story is powerful and a testament to the strength of the human spirit, the grace of God, and the miracle of healing.

Karin’s memoir, My Journey to Enjoy My Life: After the Pain, There Is a Better Life Waiting for You, dives into the depths of childhood trauma and climbs toward the light of redemption and joy. Her willingness to open up about the abuse she endured growing up—both physical and emotional—offers validation and courage to those who may still be sitting in silence.

“I wrote the book because I felt a stirring,” she said. “People don’t need things sugarcoated anymore. They need help. They need real answers.”

Through faith, Karin found the strength to forgive—not because it was easy or even something she wanted to do, but because healing demanded it. “God didn’t ask me to forgive as a suggestion. It was a commandment,” she shared. And when she finally said the words, “I forgive,” everything changed. Her body began to heal, her spirit began to rise, and her life took on a new direction.

What struck me most during our conversation was how closely her story mirrored my own. Though our paths were different, we both carried wounds from childhood. We both turned to faith not as a religious act, but as a lifeline. That deep connection we felt through shared experiences—through pain, forgiveness, and finding purpose—made this episode incredibly special.

Beyond her memoir, Karin has authored multiple romance novels, each woven with themes of healing, resilience, and hope. Her latest novel, My Best Friend’s Secret, explores family secrets, betrayal, and the power of truth. Even in fiction, Karin finds a way to minister to the heart.

She’s not done yet—Karin continues to lead women’s groups, write, and encourage others to go deeper in their relationship with God. “You are worth getting healed,” she told listeners. “Don’t settle for second best. You owe it to yourself to love yourself.”

And I couldn’t agree more.

๐ŸŒฟ Final Thoughts

If you’re carrying pain from your past and wondering if healing is possible, let Karin’s story be the hope you need. Forgiveness is not a one-time event. It’s a process. But it’s one worth taking.

As Karin beautifully put it: “Put your big girl boots on, throw your shoulders back, and say, ‘It’s my time now.’”
