An 85-year-old woman vanishes. Fourteen days pass. The nation watches. And the questions only grow louder.

In this episode of Open Wide, Dr. Jenny and Susan talk through the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie — not as detectives, but as daughters, mothers, and women who understand the vulnerability that comes with aging and living alone. We discuss the emotional toll of not knowing, the importance of community awareness, and the practical steps women can take to protect themselves. Above all, our hearts are with the Guthrie family — and with every family waiting for answers.

The Winter Olympics are supposed to be about discipline, excellence, and national pride. So why does every single Games come wrapped in controversy, ego, and emotional chaos? In this episode of Open Wide, Dr. Jenny and Susan break down the drama behind the medals — from risky returns and questionable judging to cheating scandals and public apologies that didn’t land the way someone hoped.

But underneath the humor and headlines is a bigger question: what happens when your entire identity, future, and self-worth hinge on one performance? We dive into the psychology of elite competition, the pressure of perfection, and why even gold medals can’t fix broken character. It’s funny, sharp, and unexpectedly thoughtful — just how we like it.

When doctors told Jody Mayo she had 10 months to live, she believed them — at first. Diagnosed with Stage 4 glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive and fatal forms of brain cancer, Jodi was forced to face the unimaginable. But instead of surrendering, she made a choice: to live. Twenty-two months later, with no ongoing treatments and a clean MRI, Jodi stands as living proof that faith, mindset, and resilience can change what science predicts.

In this powerful and emotional episode of Open Wide, Jodi shares her journey from diagnosis to miracle recovery — the tears, the prayers, the laughter, and the moment she decided to slay the beast. With honesty and grace, she unpacks how spirituality, gratitude, and the science of hope can transform not just how we survive, but how we live. This is the episode you’ll never forget — and one that might just change how you see your own life.
