#68 | What if Your Vitamin D Deficiency Isn't Actually a Deficiency? with Robin Stebbins
The Discerning Mother
What if the Vitamin D deficiency your doctor flagged on your labs is not actually a deficiency at all? In this episode, Brigid sits down with Robin Stebbins, Registered Nurse, psychiatric and hospice care veteran, and founder of PurifyWithin, for a conversation that will make you rethink the supplement bottle on your counter. Robin spent more than 35 years inside the medical system before she walked away from it, and she is not shy about why. They dig into the truth about Vitamin D: why synthetic D3 is not the same thing your body makes when sunlight hits your skin, why a low lab value is often your body's signal that something inflammatory is going on underneath, and why no capsule can replicate what 20 minutes outside actually does for your cells, your mood, and your nervous system.

About Podcast
Welcome to The Discerning Mother, the podcast where building a thriving business and becoming a whole woman are not two different goals. Most wellness podcasts will tell you to regulate your nervous system. Most business podcasts will tell you to try another strategy.
This one will tell you why those won't work.
This is where faith, health, and business strategy collide.
Each week we talk about:
- How your nervous system is either building your business or quietly sabotaging it
- Why rewiring your nervous system and identity unlocks what regulation never could
- Real strategy for scaling without burning the woman behind the brand
- What Catholic/Christian theology has to say about money, ambition, and becoming
- How to have more without doing more
- Doing it all while being a present, joyful, peaceful mother & 6 or 7 figure business owner
This is not hustle culture with a rosary or prayers on top. This is the real work; the kind that changes what you are capable of in your business, your body, your marriage, and your motherhood (& by default, the world! Right, St. Mother Teresa?!).
Whether you are listening as you prep for a client call or folding laundry, it's time for you to dive in!
