The Soul Talks Podcast

In this deeply practical and soul-level conversation, Theresa sits down with Jade Warshaw, co-host of The Ramsey Show, to unpack what no one tells us about money... and why finances are never just about numbers.Jade shares how emotional wounds, shame, pride, fear, and belief systems quietly shape our financial behaviors. Instead of offering surface-level advice to “just do better,” she walks through the deeper work: identifying what’s really driving our decisions and addressing the root, not just the symptoms.From forgiveness and freedom to resilience and long-term vision, this episode explores the connection between belief, behavior, and the emotional undercurrents that steer our lives. Jade introduces a powerful framework: if behavior is the car, belief sits in the driver’s seat — and our emotions steer the wheel.The conversation also takes a beautiful turn into what might be on the horizon including family dinners, cooking, and the lost art of creating home — reminding us that money, time, and belonging are more connected than we think.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or like you’re drowning financially, Jade offers this reminder: it’s a season. Keep swimming. Name what you’re feeling. Call it by name. And start driving toward freedom. 🛎️ Subscribe for more soulful conversations.Connect with us:Visit Theresa's Website: www.theresabruno.netFollow Theresa on Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok: @Theresa.Harper.BrunoGet your copy of "He's Not Coming Back": https://bit.ly/40qGX6YConnect with our guest:Visit Jade's Website: https://bit.ly/3M5dT16Find Jade on Facebook: https://bit.ly/4rkWkcxFollow Jade on Instagram: https://bit.ly/4tNHXzo

In this deeply moving episode of The Soul Talks, Theresa sits down with Patsy Clairmont, beloved author and speaker known for her wit, wisdom, and unmistakable joy — and hears the story that many people don’t know.Long before the stages, the books, and the laughter, Patsy was a young wife and mother trapped by overwhelming anxiety and agoraphobia, unable to leave her bedroom and without language for what she was experiencing. In an era when anxiety wasn’t openly discussed, she felt isolated, ashamed, and unsure if freedom was even possible.Patsy shares how healing didn’t begin with a dramatic breakthrough, but with one small act of obedience — “make your bed” — and how that single step became the beginning of a path toward faith, responsibility, and hope. She reflects on the people who walked alongside her, the power of Scripture spoken out loud, and how God used her brokenness to eventually bring healing to others.This conversation is for anyone who feels trapped, overwhelmed, or discouraged — and for those who wonder if their story could ever be redeemed. Patsy’s journey is a reminder that freedom often begins quietly, one step at a time. Subscribe for more soulful conversations. Connect with us: Visit Theresa's Website: www.theresabruno.net Follow Theresa on Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok: @Theresa.Harper.Bruno Get your copy of "He's Not Coming Back": https://bit.ly/40qGX6Y Connect with our guest:Visit Patsy's Website: https://www.patsyclairmont.com/ Follow Patsy on Instagram: https://bit.ly/497yL0J Find Patsy on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PatsyClairmont
