Happy & Healthy with Jeanine Amapola

I got to sit down with my sweet friend Rachel Awtrey to talk about what it really means to love your life—even when you don’t like it all the time. We went deep into the hard stuff: grief, spiritual warfare, motherhood, friendship, and how to CHOOSE joy as a daily practice. Rachel opens up about the loss of her father, writing her book through a miscarriage, and building joy as a skill, not just a feeling. We also chatted about the lies we believe about "balance," how to find friends in a new season, and why being present is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. This episode is for the girl who’s tired, overwhelmed, and maybe wondering if this is all life has to offer. Joy is available—and worth fighting for.

In today’s episode, Kaleb and I may have a few hot takes. We spend a little time catching up on everything from quitting caffeine, mom life chaos, and our screen time confessions (yikes).But we also talk about something more and more of lately—Christian cancel culture. 😬 We dive into the recent drama around Forrest Frank, public call-outs in Christian spaces, and how we’re trying to navigate it all with grace, discernment, and optimism. We also chat about Kaleb's intense law school grind, the reality of being an influencer in a super digital world, and how we're finding joy and purpose in a really wild season of life. Plus, your girl is heading on her first trip away from baby Duke 😭 and it’s a whole emotional rollercoaster. Whether you're wrestling with what to believe online or questioning how to live boldly for your faith we have some practical tips for navigating this crazy world—we’re here for ya.

Welcome back to Happy & Healthy! In this super honest episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and fellow content creator, Dani Austin Ramirez. We go way back — like 2014 YouTube quirky days 😂 — and wow, has her life transformed. Dani opens up about what it really means to “have it all” as an influencer, mom of (almost) four, and founder of Divi. She shares her journey from burnout and people-pleasing to finding real joy in the mundane moments of motherhood. We talk about mental health, faith, the pressure to be a “girl boss,” and what it’s like to be “canceled” online. She also gets super vulnerable about how blowing up her life (yes, for real!) helped her reconstruct it around what really matters — her faith, family, and values. This one’s for any woman wrestling with identity, purpose, and what it actually looks like to slow down in a hustle culture. If you’ve ever felt like your worth is tied to productivity, or if you're a new mama (or mama-to-be!) trying to do it all, this is a must-listen. 🫶 In This Episode 03:00 – Early YouTube Days & Jeanine’s Sims Era 😂 06:00 – Dani’s Platform & the Pressure of 2.3M Followers 10:00 – Getting Real About Faith & Responsibility 15:00 – The Charlie Kirk Wake-Up Call 18:00 – Dealing with Public Criticism & Cancel Culture 22:00 – Hitting Rock Bottom & Blowing Up Her Life 26:00 – Reconstructing a Life of Purpose 30:00 – Balancing Business & Motherhood 35:00 – What Success Actually Looks Like 39:00 – The Joy of the Mundane & Small Moments 42:00 – Debunking Motherhood Fears 47:00 – Unmedicated Birth & Postpartum Healing 51:00 – Taking a Social Media Break & Finding Peace 55:00 – Final Thoughts + What Dani Wishes People Knew Guest Resources Follow Dani Dani's Podcast Dani's Youtube Divi Products OUR SPONSORS NIV Bible App: You can save an extra 10% on any NIV Application Bible or NIV Application Commentary resource by visiting ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠faithgateway.com/ NIVAB⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and using code HEALTHY at checkout.

Welcome back to Happy & Healthy! I didn't post an episode two weeks ago, and when I asked y’all what you wanted, so many of you just said “we wanna hear what’s going on in your life!” So here it is!I cover a lot in this one — from feeling like I’m in a wilderness season, to navigating postpartum life, finding a church in Oklahoma, and struggling to hear God’s voice — this episode is in a real way, my heart poured out. If you’ve ever felt lonely, confused about where God is leading, or just overwhelmed by change, I hope my vulnerability encourages you wherever you're at today. 💛 I also talk about what I look for in a church, the importance of community, slowing down, and how I’m learning to truly savor this slower season of life with Duke. Let’s be real — motherhood is hard, but it’s also the most beautiful, sanctifying journey ever. Love y’all so much — thanks for being here and allowing me to be so honest. God’s still moving, even when it’s quiet. 🙏 In This Episode 00:00 – Struggling to Hear God + Life Update 04:00 – Postpartum, Motherhood, and Adjusting to a Slower Life 10:00 – Community, Church Hunting, and Making Friends in Oklahoma 15:00 – What I Look for in a Church + Spiritual Discernment 24:00 – Wilderness Season, Feeling Distant, and Choosing Gratitude 38:00 – Being Bold in Faith + Sharing the Gospel in Real Life 47:00 – Encouragement for Moms, Purpose, and Trusting God's Timing Mentioned Resources Find Your People by Jennie Allen 40 Days to a Joy-Filled Life by Tommy Newberry OUR SPONSORS This episode is brought to you by Betterhelp: Our listeners get 10% off their first month at - ⁠⁠⁠betterhelp.com/happyhealthy⁠⁠⁠ Function: Function gives you a near-360 view of your health, and my followers get a $100 credit toward membership.

Y’all, today’s episode was SO powerful and near to my heart! I got to sit down with one of my dear friends, Nicoletta Bradley—yes, the Nicoletta from Call Her Holy—and WOW, we went deep. We talked all things body image, identity, eating disorders, and singleness, and how Jesus truly redeems it all. Nicoletta opened up about her journey through a 20-year battle with eating disorders, a broken engagement, and how the Lord birthed Noble Fitness Ministries from her healing. We also dove into the gift of singleness, the dangers of cultural lies, and the power of knowing who you are in Christ. We even touched on spiritual gifts like prophecy and tongues and how God is still moving today! I’m seriously so proud of Nicoletta and know this will encourage so many of you.

On today's episode Kaleb and I talk through how heavy everything feels right now—political division, violence, tragedy—and how the murder of Charlie Kirk especially is forcing us to work through where our hearts are and how we respond. We share how it’s affected us personally, what I’ve been wrestling with, and what I’m trying to live out: saying something when silence isn’t an option, holding onto scripture as truth, loving people even when we disagree, and praying that God would soften hearts (including mine). I also reflect on how even in deepest sorrow, God can bring good—people turning to Jesus because of what’s happened—and why that gives me hope.

Kaleb is back on the pod and we are CHATTINGGG. We’ve seen your comments and it’s time to respond… We talk about fall vibes (yes to nutmeg, no to matcha!), the amish lol, Justin Bieber’s new album, why I'm maybe ready to move to Vermont, and how Kaleb is surviving law school while low-key stressing. 😅 We go deep on fear of failure, trusting God in crazy seasons, and how different motherhood looks from what I expected.

Today I’m unpacking the viral teen drama The Summer I Turned Pretty — but from a Christian perspective. Let’s be honest, the show is EVERYWHERE. From team debates (Conrad vs. Jeremiah) to dreamy beach scenes, it’s got everyone hooked… but is it actually healthy for us to watch? I get super real about what the show glamorizes — from toxic love triangles to pre-marital sex — and why it’s so easy to get caught up in fictional love stories. I also talk about emotional purity and how women especially can fall into fantasy traps that pull us away from truth. 👀 Honestly, I watch this show, so this episode isn’t about canceling fun — it’s about learning to watch with discernment and not letting shows define your standards for love. In This Episode 01:00 – Why I wanted to talk about The Summer I Turned Pretty 03:00 – How I think Christians should view pop culture 05:00 – Yep… I watched the show — here’s what I thought 07:00 – Let’s talk about the unbiblical themes in the show 09:00 – Am I mature enough in my faith to watch this? 10:00 – The obsession is real — here’s why that’s dangerous 14:00 – Is this emotional porn for women? Let’s go there 17:00 – Why we need to stop romanticizing toxic love 18:00 – What biblical love actually looks like 20:00 – My thoughts on sex before marriage in the series 23:00 – The whole “glow up” narrative is super misleading 30:00 – Let’s unpack the cheating, drama, and mess 34:00 – Why young marriage is so misunderstood 40:00 – My final thoughts and a gentle challenge for you OUR SPONSORS NIV Bible App: You can save an extra 10% on any NIV Application Bible or NIV Application Commentary resource by visiting ⁠faithgateway.com/ NIVAB⁠ and using code HEALTHY at checkout.

We’re talking all about navigating our new season—his first week of law school, me trying to juggle work and motherhood, and how our roles have shifted BIG TIME. I open up about the real reason I finally hired help, how having a baby has changed our marriage, and yes… we even get into some spicy hot takes (lookin’ at you, Justin Bieber 👀). This episode is full of laughs, honesty, and those real-life convos we haven't gotten to have enough of lately.

Today’s episode is honestly WILD. I read through YOUR anonymous confessions and whew… some of y’all are going THROUGH it. From being with someone who doesn’t love you back to struggling with p*rn, judging other moms, and stealing… this one hit hard. I react to your anonymous confessions with as much love and truth as I can, because honestly, we’ve all been there in some way. And I just want to remind you: you are not alone. There is freedom in confession, and I pray this episode gives you hope, healing, and permission to open up and pursue God’s best for your life. 💙 OUR SPONSORS Betterhelp: Our listeners get 10% off their first month at ⁠BetterHelp.com/HAPPYHEALTHY.⁠ Our Place: go to ⁠fromourplace.com/HEALTHY⁠ and use code HEALTHY for 10% off sitewide.
