    Let It Be Beautiful: Navigating Grief, Love, and Legacy with Sydney Mintle

    · Right in Front of My Face

    Sometimes the most heartbreaking moment of your life became your most beautiful lesson. In this episode, I sit down with fashion publicist, writer, and mom Sydney Mintle to talk about love, loss, and what it means to face death with presence and peace. Sydney’s husband, Jeff, was diagnosed with glioblastoma—an aggressive form of brain cancer—and within just over a year, he passed away. But this isn’t just a story about loss. It’s about how one family chose beauty over bitterness, honesty over fear, and how Jeff’s legacy continues to bloom—literally. From parenting through grief and embracing death doulas, to composting Jeff’s remains and traveling the world to spread his soil, Sydney shares a deeply moving journey of intentional living, radical acceptance, and spiritual grace. In this episode: Sydney and Jeff’s love story and their shared philosophy on living fully How they approached terminal illness with honesty and hope The impact of open conversations with children about death Why Sydney chose human composting—and how it brought comfort What it means to “walk someone home” at the end of life Finding signs, miracles, and meaning in unexpected moments This conversation will change the way you think about grief, death, and what it means to truly live. Whether you’ve experienced a personal loss or want to better support someone who has, this episode is a gift.

    The Balanced Athlete: Mental Health, Bipolar, and Building Resilience with Dr. Jud Heugel

    · Right in Front of My Face

    What happens when you spend your whole life performing at the highest level, only to realize, in midlife, that you've been quietly carrying a mental health condition that almost no one talks about? In this episode, I am joined by Jud Heugel: pediatrician, health tech CMO, father, ultra-endurance athlete, and now—mental health advocate. After years of living in silence, Jud opens up about his journey with bipolar disorder, why he kept it hidden, and what changed when he decided it was finally time to share his truth. What started as a casual chat about podcasting turned into one of the most powerful conversations this show has ever held—because Jud's story is not just about bipolar. It's about resilience, self-acceptance, and using your life experiences as fuel for something bigger. In this episode: His early struggles during medical residency—and what led to a full mental health breakdown The misunderstood highs of hypomania and how they impacted his life and career Why he believes sports—especially endurance sports—can be a tool for healing The stigma of mental health in medicine—and the long road to acceptance How middle age has become a time of radical self-actualization for him Jud, you’re forwarding progress in all ways and it’s very humbling that you chose Right in Front of My face to as your starting line to opening up about bipolar. Thank you. You can find Jud at https://www.thebalancedathlete.org/ and Substack: The Balanced Athlete. You can find me on Instagram @rightinfrontofmyface or send me a note at [email protected].

    Will AI Save Us or Replace Us? Martha Brockenbrough on the Future We’re Creating

    · Right in Front of My Face

    What if artificial intelligence is not just the next innovation—but the final one? If you've felt overwhelmed, under-informed, or just plain scared about AI and what it means for your future and your children’s—this is the episode you need to hear. In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with author Martha Brockenbrough to explore the real impact AI is already having on our lives—and the terrifying potential it holds for the future. Martha, author of Future Tense: How We Made Artificial Intelligence—and How It Will Change Everything, helps break down incredibly complex issues into relatable truths that all of us—especially those of us in midlife—need to understand. In this episode: The origins of AI and how it mimics human thought Why your personal data is now more valuable than oil How social media is training our kids (and us) to give it away for free Deepfakes, algorithmic bias, and the terrifying reality of synthetic relationships Why the tech elite are profiting from a system that displaces the rest of us But it’s not all doom and gloom—we also talk about the power of empathy, the human capacity to care, and how we can reclaim our futures by staying informed, asking questions, and centering people over profit.

    Fail Big, Show Up, Stay Real: Cara Rosellini on Midlife, Motherhood & Making It in Comedy

    · Right in Front of My Face

    We’re three episodes into this season, and I’m so excited to bring you this conversation with my friend Cara Rosellini—standup comedian, writer, actress, mom, and just an overall phenomenal human. This episode is a bit of a departure—it’s less of an interview and more of a candid chat between two women trying to figure out what it means to show up, be vulnerable, and create something new in middle age. Cara and I talk about: – Coming back to work and creativity after years away – What it’s really like to navigate social media and self-promotion when you’re 40+ – The fear of being seen—and doing it anyway – The beauty of failing big and trying again – And why staying true to yourself is the only path forward This one’s for everyone who’s ever felt frozen, stuck, or unsure if they’re still relevant. (Spoiler alert: you are.) We see you. We are you. Let’s keep going—and maybe even fail big together.

  • The Psychology of Power: Lessons from an FBI Agent with Maria Witkop

    The Psychology of Power: Lessons from an FBI Agent with Maria Witkop

    · Right in Front of My Face

    How do we truly understand power? And what happens when we reframe the way we give—and take—permission in our lives? In this episode, I sit down with Maria Witkop, a former FBI agent, author of Reach: Rewriting the Story of Power, and a woman with an incredible story of resilience, intuition, and human connection. I have to admit, I was more intimidated by this interview than any I’ve done before. I mean, how do you sit across from someone trained to see right through people? But from the moment she walked into the studio, Maria defied every expectation I had. Maria’s journey from HR recruiter to federal agent wasn’t just about shifting careers—it was about shifting her own perception of what was possible. She shares how growing up in a home shaped by addiction gave her an innate ability to read people, a skill that would serve her as she navigated high-stakes FBI interviews and investigations.

  • Midlife Makeover: The Truth About Botox, Fillers & Skincare with Audi Padmasuta, SkinSpirit

    Midlife Makeover: The Truth About Botox, Fillers & Skincare with Audi Padmasuta, SkinSpirit

    · Right in Front of My Face

    OK everyone, as my favorite podcaster Danny Pelligrino says, pull over if you’re driving. This
    episode is one of my absolute favorites because we’re talking about something that seems to be
    of interest to a lot of middle aged people - how do I look my absolute best? With such an
    overwhelming amount of options on every spa menu, I figured more people than just me might
    want to know the details of every procedure out there.


    The are SO MANY OPTIONS available on how to fight the aging process - injections, lasers,
    threading, body contouring, GIVE ME IT ALLLLLL! Here we go. We also segue into skin care
    which is a super passion of mine, so buckle your seatbelt. If you’re a beauty junkie like me, this
    episode is for you.


    I invited Audi Padmasuta, Aesthetics Nurse Specialist at SkinSpirit in Seattle, to sit down with
    me and walk me through alllll the options for maximizing our snatched jawlines, eliminating our
    pigment, tackling our fine lines and ultimately feeling our best. We mention it all... procedures,
    facials, and home care. It’s quite literally my favorite topic so prepare for a deep dive.
    In our discussion, we chat about how we can present our best self, but we also discuss how
    skewed our desires are, how we foolishly compare ourselves to filtered social media images ,
    and how we can all do a better job of presenting our real selves to the world in the healthiest
    way possible.


    A year has passed since this interview and I’m now 46, but this conversation has helped me
    make my decisions about my body and face in the most informed way possible and I hope it will
    help you too!

    I hope this conversation has prepared you for your next spa trip or treatment. I could literally
    talk about skin care all day and am going to post some of my favorite things that have worked
    for me on Instagram. I’m on a constant skin care journey and will share all I’ve learned. Have
    fun trying all these new products - let me know on Instagram what you like and what you’re
    trying! Find Audi on IG at beautiflow by nurse audi (all one word). Or in person if you’re in the
    area at SkinSpirit University Village.


    If you like this podcast, please give it five stars on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen and
    share it far and wide! The people need this information!
    Have a great day and remember this week to keep asking questions - you never know what’s
    happening right in front of your face.

  • Dr. Dinello

    Dr. Dinello

    · Right in Front of My Face

    Welcome to Season 5 of Right in Front of My Face! It's been a long time coming, but here I am, back in action with my latest fascination and topic - middle age. This new season is all about my coming to terms with being closer to 50 than 40, and asking the questions that we all seem to have as we cruise - or crash - directly into the middle of our lives.

    This season starts with Dr. Katie Dinello, functional medicine doctor. I'd always been skeptical of anything other than Western medicine right up until I had a major change in my body that my healtcare team couldn't understand. I found Dr. Dinello, and my first appointment with her was life-changing. Her approach was so different and so healing that I felt a strong need to share her philosophy with the world.

    I hope you can learn something from our conversation that may give you some insight into your own health, and that you come with me on this journey through middle age.

    At the time of our interview, Dr. Dinello was living in WA, but has since moved East.

    You can still find her on IG: here

    S4: Ep 10 - Kia Guarino, Executive Director of Pro-Choice WA on taking action post Roe V. Wade

    · Right in Front of My Face

    In the nation's biggest Covid pivot, Roe V. Wade was overturned on June 24th and I knew that I wanted to address it as the last episode of season 4. Kia Guarino, Executive Director of Pro-Choice Washington, the only agency in WA State whose sole focus is on "political and legislative adovcacy for reproductive freedom in WA State," sits down with me to discuss how this happened and what we can do to move forward.

    The reversal of Roe V. Wade is done and there is currently a federal abortion ban on the table, so policy is one of the only tools we have to keep abortion accessible to all people. But I'm not sure many of us understand what to do or how to apply ourselves to policy change and that's where Ms. Guarino comes in.

    My hope for this episode is that you leave with a sense of what the truth is, and get some tools to help normalize the word abortion and the conversations that surround it.

    S4: Ep 9 - Cassie Walker Johnson on the Covid pivot of cancer

    · Right in Front of My Face

    Today we're talking about the most personal of Covid pivots. My podcast sponsor Cassie Walker-Johnson is with me today to discuss her covid pivot of a breast cancer diagnoses.

    Cassie is my friend. She is a successful real estate agent, she's a mom, a wife, an incredible connector and networker and in December of 2020 she got a call that 1 in 7 women will get - the call from the doctor telling her she has cancer.

    Over the next hour, Cassie is going to share her experience so please know we talk about cancer, surgery and chemo. We also talk about helping our sisters that get diagnosed and about how we can best serve each other. Cassie's mom asked me if this was going to be a "silver lining" podcast and I assure you it is. It's the most honest conversation about cancer I've ever had, and I hope you learn as much from it as I did.

    This interview is meant to serve as a tool. Cassie wants her experience to help others who get this diagnosis and remind us that there are silver linings even in cancer.

    S4: EP 8: Zach Brittle on the Covid pivot of Divorce.

    · Right in Front of My Face

    Today, we're talking about a Covid pivot I've seen lately - divorce. Strange that being locked in a house with your partner would make you questions your life's choices...

    Because I'm hearing anecdotal evidence about more people splitting this year than in the past, I decided to do some research on whether or not what I was hearing on the street was actually true. Turns out, it might be.

    Rather than turning to a divorce lawyer for statistics and doom, I thought it would be more illuminating to hear from a Gottman certified marriage therapist - maybe we can come out of this 50 minues with some advice and hope rather than doom for our relationships. Enter Zach Brittle.

    Zach is a gottman certified marriage therapist, best selling author and also a podcaster. His show Marriage Therapy Radio provides weekly insights into the daily struggles of marriage and offers a look into the science behind relationships.

    For anyone in a partnership, this episode isn't a downer - it's meant to give us all some new tools and perspective as we all reset post-covid. Let's face it - most relationships could benefit from some new tools in the toolbox.

  • S4: Ep 7 - Erin Quick, CEO and founder of PairTree on modernizing adoption

    S4: Ep 7 - Erin Quick, CEO and founder of PairTree on modernizing adoption

    · Right in Front of My Face

    Erin Quick is the CEO and Co-Founder of PairTree, a company that is modernizing the adoption process. Erin is a powerhouse - she's founded three successful startups, she's a Puget Sound Business Journal 40 under 40, she's a marketer and branding professional, and maybe most importantly, Erin is also a mother.

    When Erin's fertility path led to adoption, she, as a marketer and brander, began asking questions about the process and wondering why it had to be the way it was - expensive, discriminatory, and long. After deviating from the norm and adopting two kids with her own team, her circle started reaching out for help. That circle grew, and before she knew it, she realized her calling was to modernize adoption and figure out how to allow all families to grow without an agency if they so desired. All in Spring of 2020. While she was homeschooling a Kindergartner and Pre-schooler.

    It's not often that you get to speak to a visionary. This interview is one where I walked away knowing that I was speaking to someone who is going to change the world. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

    Trigger warnings - we talk about infertility, miscarriage and loss in this episode. We discuss adoption, placement and all the things that come with it.

    If you are considering adoption or placement please find PairTree here.

    S4: Ep 6 - Dr. Lelach Rave pivots from medicine to politics

    · Right in Front of My Face

    The last two years have me wondering "why on Earth would anyone rational go into politics?" The political landscape seems toxic at the moment and because we need rational, intelligent people to run, I think a lot of us wonder who in their right mind would do it?

    Dr. Lelach Rave reached out a couple of. months ago because she decided to leave a successful Pediatric medical practice to run for an open State House Representative spot in my district. She explained that she felt like if we got things right with kids and health in Olympia, everything else owuld follow. I was intrigued.

    The next hour is not an endorsement, but rather a conversation between two citizens. Dr. Rave's pivot during Covid fit the theme perfectly and I wanted to get to know the woman behind the campaign. Enjoy.

  • S3: Ep 8 - The Seattle Burnout Coach Lori Prutsman

    S3: Ep 8 - The Seattle Burnout Coach Lori Prutsman

    · Right in Front of My Face

    It’s been a long ride for season 3, people. This is actually going to be my last podcast for this season and I want to go end on this episode specifically because of the topic. Burnout.

    This is a personal episode for me because I’m processing my own burnout at the moment. In September, when my kids went back to school, I suddenly had some silence and space to realize how much emotion I’ve been carrying around for the last year. As I got the Google photo memories of last September that included my son doing school alone in our basement, I realized just how much sadness, fear, grief, and anxiety I’ve been shouldering and it really truly triggered me to the point where I had to just take a pause and honor what I was feeling. It wasn’t anxiety, it wasn’t depression - it was almost a weird apathy and detachment.

    As I do, I was chatting with one of my friends about how I was feeling and she said, “I think you should talk to Lori Prutsman
because it sounds like you’re just completely burned out.” Lori is the Seattle burnout coach - she’s a corporate powerhouse turned Life Coach who is now dedicating her life to helping people through burnout and finding the best version of themselves. As someone who experienced very real physical and mental burnout, she’s an expert in getting through this phase and coming out successful on the other end.

    In this episode we talk about what the real definition of burnout is, I reveal a bit about my own struggle, and we talk about how to get through it. If you take nothing else from this hour, know that if you are having these feelings, you are absolutely not alone.

    I want to leave you all with a thought. I read this online - Burnout reduces productivity and saps your energy, leaving you feeling increasingly helpless, hopeless, cynical, and resentful. Eventually, you may feel like you have nothing more to give.

    But the truth is, you have more to give. You are more than these feelings. I am actively trying to practice what we talked about in this episode and that includes being honest with myself about how I’m feeling and seeking help - with therapy, with letting my family know when I’m overwhelmed, and most importantly, trying to do things that fill my cup with joy. And one of those things is this podcast.

    I am kissing season 3 goodbye because next season I have a new focus - that focus will be on people who have made something wonderful during Covid. It includes sharing the stories of several female business owners who have taken opportunities, bet on themselves, and are absolutely crushing it. I am beyond proud of the first 3 seasons of this podcast - but season 4 is going to be all about inspiration, joy and success. It’s going to be the bucket filler season and I hope that you’ll continue to join me for the ride. Thank you so much for your support and continuing to adventure with me. You can find me on insta @rightinfrontofmyface, on twitter @infrontofmyface and via email [email protected].

    Today’s topic deals with the one thing that has been literally in front of my face non-stop for the last 18 months. My children.

    Dr. Kate Monahan Phd, CFLE is a Developmental Psychologist and an expert in childhood development. Her company Parent With Science is dedicated to helping parents through their journey with advice based in science, not trends or Google. Her instagram @parentwithscience is an awesome follow. She’s done all the research for us and tries to pass along what works for kids from a scientific perspective. Her straightforward advice is usually dead on.

    She just wrote a book called “How to Be a Relaxed mom - the three secrets to avoid modern mom stress and raise great kids.” Dr. Kate, I need you now. And so do all of us. This is a conversation for everyone - moms, dads, anyone who is with a child and needs someone on their team to give them actual practical strategies, no judgement, and a high five. This is a longer conversation than usual because I didn’t want to cut anything out.

  • S3: Ep6 - Gabe Galanda on Indigenous Human Rights

    S3: Ep6 - Gabe Galanda on Indigenous Human Rights

    · Right in Front of My Face

    Todays topic is a broadstrokes lesson on Indigenous Human Rights with activist and attorney, Gabe Galanda. There was a story on the news last week that followed the re-naming of the Indiana pro baseball team from the Chiefs to the Guardians - and now that I have this conversation under my belt, I understand the importance of it in an entirely new way and I hope you will too.

    If you walked by Gabe on the street, you’d have no idea that he was raised on a reservation, deviated from the norm of his tribe and went to college, followed by law school, and has now dedicated his law practice and life to helping the disenfranchised and representing tribal governments, and citizens. You’d never guess by looking at him that for 13 years he’s been named to Best Lawyers in America in the field of Native American Law, and dubbed a Super Lawyer by his peers from 2013 to 2020.

    I have to fess up to the fact that I know this about Gabe because his family and mine have been friends for a long time. I’ve known him for about 9 years and in that time have seen him take higher profile cases as well as become a community activist in my neighborhood. Gabe is by far my favorite person to ask any question I have about politics because his lens on life is so clear and focused. He’s brilliant so he always knows most of the answers to my questions, but he’s pragmatic and solution focused so doesn’t just rant - he usually has a pretty smart proposal to solve whatever problem we’re faced with, and knows that political system well enough to tell me the truth about what’s going on.

    I follow him on Twitter which you should absolutely do too @NDNlawyer - because he’d been quoted in an article that I’d read through his feed. We’ll talk about the case he was quoted on in the podcast. But through that article and his feed, I’d kept reading words I didn’t really understand like “blood quantum” and disenrollment, which as a white person I’d never heard. My Caucasian tribe has never once questioned my ancestry or asked how much Irish I actually have in my DNA - I’ve just never had to worry about it. So I studied up a bit so when Gabe came to dinner to ask him all about it.

    I want to thank Gabe for coming to the table with real honesty and eagerness to teach and give an opinion. There are people in life who, when they speak, you listen and realize how much you have to learn. Gabe is one of those people. Thankfully, Gabe is willing to patiently answer all my questions and educate those of us who don’t know about indigenous rights. We owe it to ourselves and our Indigenous brothers and sisters to learn.
