Episode Synopsis

Dr. Carol Peters-Tanksley believes that we can live fully alive in the way God created us to live- physically, emotionally, relationally, and spiritually. She believes we can thrive. Dr. Peters-Tanksley, or “Dr. Carol,” as she is called, is a licensed OB-Gyn physician and Reproductive Endocrinologist, an ordained Doctor of Ministry, an author, speaker, and personal coach. She also produced a regular radio program, “The Dr. Carol Show,” with her husband, Al, from 2009 until his death in 2016. Dr. Carol has seen how many people struggle to find the help they need in the church for the struggles they encounter: broken relationships, mental or emotional struggles, or toxic religion. She desires to come alongside those undergoing such brokenness to find healing and transformation so they can live more fully.In our time together, Dr. Carol shares how God transformed her own mental/emotional struggles and grief into growth, meaning, and joy. She also talks about the common struggles around beauty and body image she encountered as an OB-Gyn and tells the story behind why she chose to pursue ministry, in addition to being a physician. Dr. Carol also deeply encouraged me by talking about finding purpose in midlife and beyond and reminded me, and us, that “God will not stop until everything is made right.” My deep hope is that Dr. Carol will encourage you as much as she did me.
