232B We didn't expect this: Exhaustion to Energized - My sister's story
Mar 24, 2026
I’m joined by someone who means the world to me — my sister, Teresa. For years, I watched her struggle with low energy, pain, and feeling like her body just wasn’t responding the way it used to. She wasn’t working out, she felt exhausted most days, and like so many women, she didn’t know where to start.
But something began to change when she slowly started increasing the light in her life.
We talk about how spending more time in morning light began to shift her energy, her mood, and her motivation. And we also share how using the phototherapy patch became part of her journey by helping her body support itself at a deeper cellular level.
This episode is emotional, funny, honest, and very real. We talk about:
-
what it feels like to lose your energy and confidence
-
how small changes can lead to big shifts
-
sisterly love (and yes, lots of laughs)
-
watching our stepmother decline mentally and how hard that was for our family
-
the emotional, mental, and physical toll it took on our dad
-
and the surprising improvements we’ve seen in him recently as he’s become part of our little “patch experiment”
If you’ve ever felt tired, stuck, overwhelmed, or like your body just isn’t cooperating anymore — this episode will speak directly to you.

And as always—your body isn’t broken… it’s responding exactly as it was designed to.
