When we talk about manhood, feminism, and fatherhood, we’re really talking about identity, legacy, and connection. The problem? Our culture twisted that conversation — slandering men, confusing strength with toxicity, and silencing what should’ve been sacred.

But what if masculinity, in its truest form, was never the enemy?

This week on Rooted Warriors, Luke joins us for a powerful, unscripted conversation about fatherhood, identity, faith, and pressure — and what it means to lead a family without losing yourself in the process. No script. No polish. Just the kind of truth most families never speak out loud.

We’re asking:

• What does it mean to be the backbone of a home without being broken by it?

• How do you raise sons who lead with honor — and daughters who never lower their standards?

• What does healthy masculinity look like when it’s not hiding behind ego?

Luke doesn’t speak as a pastor, guru, or coach. He speaks as a man who’s been humbled, shaped, and changed — and who knows what it’s like to carry more than you can name.

This one’s for the men trying to be better than what the world expected and the women who want to understand the version of manhood no one talks about.

Have you ever felt that sting of being surrounded by people and still feeling unseen? That quiet ache behind your smile that no one else notices? As women, we often carry busy lives that look full on paper yet leave us empty inside. In this episode of Rooted Warriors, we talk about the kind of loneliness midlife women know too well.

We're pulling up our chairs to get real about what loneliness looks like in this season of life. We share how connection used to be built in through landline phone calls with our moms, neighbors stopping by, and community woven into every day. Now convenience and social media have replaced true connection, leaving us more connected than ever online yet lonelier than ever in real life.

This Episode we chat about-

• The guilt women feel when they admit to being lonely even with kids, spouses, and responsibilities.
• How the empty nest years hit differently
• When hormones and perimenopause stir up new identity crises
• Why friendships and sisterhood are essential for women’s mental and emotional health

From Instacart drop-offs to kids glued to their phones, from crying in the pantry to laughing over old memories, this is women’s loneliness told honestly and without filters.

If you’ve ever whispered “I’m fine” when you weren’t, if you’ve ever wondered why you feel disconnected even in the middle of your own family, if you’ve ever felt the ache of empty nest syndrome, midlife shifts, or simply missing true female friendship, this conversation is for you.

Pull up a chair, sister. You are seen here. You are not the only one.

Midlife burnout. Failed wellness trends. Self-help overload. In this laugh-through-the-tears episode of the Rooted Warriors Podcast, we’re getting real about all the things we thought would change our lives—and didn’t.

From gym memberships we ghosted, skincare that broke us out, meditation apps we downloaded and ignored, to health fads that left us broke and bloated—we’re unpacking the wellness graveyard of false starts and expensive letdowns.

This episode hits home if you’ve ever searched:

• Why self-help isn’t working

• Gym membership regret

• Overhyped wellness products

• Skincare mistakes women make

• Mental health quick fixes that failed

• Health fads that didn’t work

• How to actually feel better in midlife

• Chasing healing as a mom, wife, woman

In this episode, you’ll get:

• Hilarious and humbling stories from women who tried all the things

• The worst (and best) health and wellness purchases we’ve ever made

• Shocking history and stats about the five-trillion-dollar wellness industry

• Real tools and takeaways for pursuing healing that’s actually sustainable

• A gut-check reminder that healing isn’t in your cart—it’s in your daily rhythm

We’re naming the things that didn’t heal us so we can finally chase wholeness without shame, pressure, or another overpriced serum.

We missed you. We missed us. And not just the podcast— but the space we create together when we stop pretending we're fine and actually talk about it.

We thought rest would reset us. Turns out... rest is a different beast these days. Slower isn’t always simpler. Quiet doesn’t always equal calm. And “self-care” somehow started to feel like another task.

This episode opens the door to what rest has become— in a life that’s louder, fuller, and more relentless than ever.

We’re talking about: – What rest used to mean—and what it demands now – Why burnout hides in the background until it explodes – How grown-woman exhaustion hits different – And the surprisingly brave act of saying “no” without guilt

If you’ve ever tried to rest and still felt worn out, you’re not alone. We’re learning how to reset without apology—and we’re doing it together.

This episode tastes like childhood—if childhood was fueled by Pop Rocks, cold burritos, and sibling smackdowns over the last Klondike Bar.

This week, the Rooted Warriors are tearing into the crinkly bags of memory and serving up the snacks that raised us. From Kool-Aid toothpicks and Corn Pops to the long-lost glory of Jell-O Pudding Pops, we’re diving deep into the sacred (and slightly suspect) snack lore of the 80s—back when sugar was a food group, carbs didn’t count, and your lunchbox was your street cred.

We’re talking grocery store bribes, schoolyard trades, and survival meals that only made sense at midnight. (Looking at you, grilled PB&J on a tortilla—crispy, tragic, and kind of genius.)

It’s a salty-sweet time warp of processed glory, packed with foods that should’ve come with a warning label but didn’t—and the stories that stuck to our ribs just as much as the snacks did.

🎧 Snack like it’s 1989. No kale. No shame.

Impulse buys. TikTok flops. Subscription traps. VRBO rentals. Sometimes our purchase turns out to be something we needed even more than we realized. And sometimes… well… not.

In this Rooted Warriors confessional, we unpack the emotional chaos behind the things we swore could “change everything.” From vibrating face masks and composting toilets to organic underwear and an unforgettable desert trip—nothing is safe, and everything is fair game.

This isn’t just about buyer’s remorse. It’s about the feelings behind the cart: hope, heartbreak, distraction, or just needing one thing to go right.

Sometimes those purchases became little lifelines that make venturing out in the first place all worth while.

Either way—you’re not alone. And we promise... you're definitely NOT your TikTok Shop cart.

Gina, Moe, and Kat are back, and we’re diving deep—right into the hard truths, hilarious detours, and gut-check questions about what it really means to shrink yourself.

From apologizing for emotions to hiding our weirdest quirks, this episode explores the generational patterns that teach women to be quiet, small, and agreeable—and why we’re done with all that. We talk about being too much, not enough, and the battle to protect the softest parts of ourselves from the world… and sometimes from our own expectations.

We also ask: Who is the real you? When was the last time she got to come out and play? Whether she’s sewing in silence, laughing over 80s nostalgia, or talking to her chickens—she’s still in there.

🎤 This one’s for the woman still holding back… and the girl inside her who’s finally ready to speak. Feel blessed, be blessed, and stay rooted.
