Ksenia J. Merck shares how intellectual wellness and art can help us navigate love and existence. In this week's episode of Women Connected in Wisdom podcast, we welcome our guest, Ksenia J. Merck — an architect, artist, and author who has spent four decades shaping the physical world through large-scale airport programs. Today, she is shaping the world of storytelling as the creative force behind Ghost Flower, a science fiction novel written by her late husband, William F. Merck II, which she illustrated and published posthumously. We explore the Intellectual Wellness dimension, discussing how Ksenia used her creative skills to honor her husband's legacy while expanding her own whole-self growth. From her architectural background to her work on the Ghost Flower Companion Journal, Ksenia shares how deep reflection, thought-provoking quotes, and art can help us process the mysteries of life. Women Connected in Wisdom is a community-driven podcast hosted by Christine and Shannon, where we explore the 8 Dimensions of Wellness to help you live a more balanced, purposeful life.

    Resources & What we are up to

    If your home feels overwhelming…you're not alone.


    This week, we welcome Lisa Woodruff, Founder & CEO of Organize 365 and host of the top-rated Organize 365 Podcast with over 24 million downloads.


    Lisa believes organization is not a personality trait; it's a learnable skill. And yet while 87% of Americans believe organization is learnable, fewer than 18% feel organized.


    In this powerful Environmental Wellness conversation, Lisa will share insights from her new book, Escaping Quicksand: 10 Steps to Overcome the Overwhelm of Modern Homelife, where she will reveal:


    • Why modern women feel buried in invisible work

    • The truth about "adult self-care" (it's NOT bubble baths)

    • How systems reduce mental clutter

    • Why "Swiss Cheese Organizing" doesn't work

    • How the Sunday Basket system pulls you out of overwhelm

    • Why organizing your personal spaces first changes everything


    As Lisa says in Escaping Quicksand, "Organization is an outward manifestation of the inner organization of a person."


    Environmental wellness isn't just about nature - it's about the environment you live in every day. When your home supports you, your mind can breathe.


    🌿 If you've ever felt stuck in survival mode, this episode is an invitation to move toward healing and wholeness.

    What does it take to move from survival mode to self-acceptance?

    This week, we welcome Harper A. Bailey, public health leader, powerful storyteller, and author of It Was Her: A Memoir — a deeply personal journey through loss, resilience, leadership, and transformation.

    As the first Black woman to lead a prominent national women's healthcare nonprofit, Harper has spent her career championing health equity and amplifying underserved voices. In this conversation, she shares the emotional and spiritual evolution behind her memoir unfolding through four powerful stages: Running, Falling, Sinking, and Flying.
