Conversations that meet you exactly where you are.

​

Heart of Life is a weekly podcast where we answer your questions, explore the real and tender places of being human, and make space for the stories that shape us. Nothing is off-limits—because life is lifey.

​

Together, we talk about the things most people carry quietly:

​

  • Relationships and their shifting dynamics

  • Grief, anger, and the emotions we’re taught to hide

  • Sex, desire, and intimacy

  • Faith, deconstruction, and spiritual evolution

  • Trauma, nervous system healing, and embodiment

  • Hope, meaning, and becoming who we truly are

​

At its core, this podcast is about healing—the slow, courageous work of learning yourself, trusting yourself, and reclaiming your story.

​

Who We Are

​

Hosted by Brooke Small and Jesie Steffes, two therapists who bring years of clinical wisdom, personal experience, and irreverent honesty to every episode.

​

We don’t talk at you.


We sit with you—curious, grounded, and unafraid of the depth beneath the surface.

​

Our conversations blend:

  • Trauma-informed perspectives

  • Somatic and nervous system understanding

  • Relational wisdom

  • Humor and humanity

​

We believe that when people tell the truth about their lives, healing becomes possible.

​

A Final Word

​

We created this podcast because healing shouldn’t be lonely.

Every conversation is a reminder that you’re not the only one feeling what you feel, wondering what you wonder, or trying to make sense of your own becoming.

You’re invited—into the questions, into the conversation, into the very heart of life.
