Actress, author, and advocate Kimberly Williams-Paisley's heart for giving back is as big as her impact on the world. You may know Kimberly from iconic roles in Father of the Bride, According to Jim, and The Christmas Chronicles, but her true legacy shines through her tireless philanthropic work. As co-founder of The Store with her husband Brad Paisley, Kimberly has worked to provide comprehensive solutions to hunger and poverty in Middle Tennessee, offering support to families in need.

Kimberly sits down with us to share the profound journey of caring for her mother, Linda, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease at just 62. Her book "Where the Light Gets In" captures the emotional story of their family’s experience, and the transformative power of love, forgiveness, and resilience. Kimberly also opens up about her own health crisis, where she faced nerve damage that temporarily took her voice, but through surgery and determination, she found her strength again—now even deadlifting 115 pounds. This episode is an inspiring testament to the power of healing, advocacy, and finding light even in the darkest times.

This week on Mind What Matters, we’re chatting with Dr. Eleonora Teplinsky, an oncologist who’s passionate about breast and gynecologic cancers. She’s here to break down some tough topics with us, like the rising rates of breast cancer in younger women, why early detection matters more than ever, and how treatment can impact more than just your body—it can affect your mind too.

We get real about the challenges women face in advocating for their health, the lack of focus on women’s health research, and how making simple changes in our diets and lifestyles can make a big difference. Dr. Teplinsky also gives us hope by sharing the latest in clinical trials and what advancements are on the horizon for breast cancer treatment.

This conversation is for anyone who’s been touched by breast cancer, or anyone who’s worried about what’s coming next. It’s a reminder that knowledge is power, and you don’t have to go through this alone. We’re here with you every step of the way.

Today we’re talking about the real, raw stuff of life: the challenges we never see coming, and how we push through them. Celebrity personal trainer Gunnar Peterson and Dr. Philip Goglia share their powerful stories of resilience—especially Gunnar’s journey through his daughter’s leukemia battle.

Gunnar and Dr. Goglia remind us that, while we can’t control life’s curveballs, we can control how we face them. The key? Consistent small steps, whether it’s taking care of your body, showing up for your family, or finding the strength to move forward, even when it feels impossible. This episode is a heartfelt, honest conversation about the importance of showing up for yourself—because you can’t pour from an empty cup. Tune in for a dose of real talk, encouragement, and hope.
