Rebuilding After Loss: The Truth About Healing Over Time May 16, 2025

Show notes

EP:141 Hey THRIVE Community!

It’s been four years since Jonathan passed. And in this episode, I’m bringing you into what healing has really looked like—not the polished version, but the real one.

From turning my home into a space that finally feels calm…
to raising two kids alone…
to building a business while still navigating grief—I’ve done a lot of rebuilding. And it hasn’t been linear.

I’m sharing:

What it felt like to film a vlog on the anniversary of Jonathan’s death

Why my Austin Under 40 nomination brought up way more than pride

My recent Prenuvo health scan (and why I did it for more than just information)

And how the team I’ve built at Thrive has helped me stay grounded—even when life still hits hard

This episode isn’t about having it all figured out.
It’s about continuing to show up for your life—even when it breaks you open.
I hope it reminds you: you’re allowed to take your time. And you don’t have to do it alone.

XOXO,
Dr. B

Practical Parenting in the Digital Age Apr 25, 2025

Show notes

EP:138 Hey there! I just finished watching the Netflix series "Adolescence" and WOW, do I have some thoughts to share!
In this episode, I'm breaking down why this series is creating such a buzz and why I believe we're facing a PARENTING crisis, not just a boy crisis. I'm getting real about the importance of practical parenting - balancing boundaries with love and connection.

Key Takeaways:

Devices and unlimited freedom are NOT the answer

Your kids NEED structure (they actually want it!)

Boundaries aren't about controlling, they're about protecting

My personal story hits home - with a 50% higher risk of depression in my family, I can't afford to get parenting wrong. This isn't about being perfect, it's about being intentional.
