ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Have you ever wondered how often we simply go with the current? We follow what we’ve been taught, what everyone else is doing, and sometimes even what we know deep down isn’t right for us. But what happens when we decide to swim upstream? For me, it means becoming willing to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and take responsibility for the direction of my own life. It doesn’t mean I always have the answers. And it certainly doesn’t mean going against everything just for the sake of being different. It means being willing to investigate, learn, and follow the truth wherever it leads. I’ll share why I believe swimming upstream can sometimes be exactly what we need to do, to grow, heal, and live more intentionally.

Since February 2026, I have been researching acid reflux, GERD, Barrett’s esophagus, and hiatal hernias, going down more rabbit holes than I can count. I was hesitant to explore certain avenues because they seemed to lead right back to the PPI rabbit hole (proton pump inhibitors). I wanted to under…
Our minds are constantly generating thoughts. But not every thought deserves to be accepted as truth. Sometimes we react to assumptions, fears, old wounds, and stories we have created without ever stopping to ask whether they are actually true. I have learned that when we automatically believe ever…
