Every. Body. Talks.

In this episode we are joined by award-winning interior designer, Erin Gates as we explore the profound relationship between people and the spaces they inhabit. For Erin, homes are far more than four walls and a roof—they're deeply personal canvases where we tell our stories, find refuge from the chaos of the outside world, and navigate life's most meaningful moments. In this episode, Erin shares her design philosophy of combining beauty with livability, creating spaces that honor both aesthetic aspirations and real-world needs which are demonstrated in her new book "Elements of Timeless Style." She believes great design shouldn't be so precious that you're afraid to throw a party, or so formal that you can't curl up with a book wherever you please. Though interior design might seem like a luxury profession focused on the non-essential, Erin makes a compelling case for why thoughtful, intentional spaces matter. Discover how a home that cultivates peace, happiness, and authentic self-expression isn't just nice to have—it's a fundamental ingredient in living well. Whether you're embarking on a renovation, rethinking a single room, or simply curious about the deeper meaning of "home," Erin's insights will transform how you see the spaces around you.

Join us for a conversation with Paige Murray, author of the beloved Rosie children's book series and a woman who's lived many lives—from small-town South Carolina girl to NASCAR's Miss Sprint Cup, broadcast journalist, cooking show host, and now ranch mama and author. Paige shares how life on the TY Ranch in Stephenville, Texas, where she lives with her husband, legendary rodeo champion Ty Murray, inspired her to start writing. Surrounded by cattle, horses, and her growing collection of rescue animals, Paige found herself watching her daughter Oakley and stepson Kase learn invaluable lessons through daily ranch life—lessons about responsibility, compassion, hard work, and the natural world. Those everyday moments of exploration and discovery became the heartbeat of the Rosie series. With Oakley as her muse, Paige created stories that capture the magic, challenges, and adventures of growing up on a working ranch. From caring for animals to exploring wide open spaces, Rosie embodies the spirit of childhood on the land—and the timeless values Paige wants to pass down to the next generation. In this episode, Paige opens up about her unexpected journey to authorship, why being a mother is her greatest calling, and how she's sharing the beauty of ranch life with children everywhere through her stories.

Chaz Ebert, CEO of Ebert Digital and publisher of RogerEbert.com, joins us for an intimate conversation about continuing her late husband Roger Ebert's extraordinary legacy while forging her own path as a champion of empathy and understanding. Chaz shares how Roger's unwavering belief in movies as "empathy machines" continues to shape her work and advocacy. We dive into her new book, It's Time to Give a FECK, which expands upon the FECK Awards—a playful yet profound acronym celebrating films that embody Forgiveness, Empathy, Compassion, and Kindness. Chaz reveals how these values have become more than just criteria for recognizing cinema; they represent a transformative philosophy for living that she's now sharing with readers everywhere. Chaz also shares the inside scoop about her own film and directorial debut "Wellness Warrior" which tells the story of the creation of Rancho La Puerta, the famed wellness retreat by 103 year old Deborah Szekely - the "Godmother of Wellness." Chaz opens up about the power of forgiveness in her own journey, the compassion required to navigate profound loss, and why kindness isn't weakness but rather the strongest foundation for meaningful change. Her insights reveal how Roger's generous spirit and radical empathy continue to inspire new generations of film lovers, critics, and creators—and how she's ensuring that legacy remains a living, breathing force for good in an increasingly divided world.
