Less Stress In Life

Welcome to Less Stress in Life, the podcast where science, compassion, and practical strategies come together to help you live well—even when life doesn't go according to plan.

Hosted by registered nurse and board-certified reflexologist Deb Timmerman and physical therapist Lindsay Vertalka, our conversations explore the connection between stress, pain, the nervous system, and overall well-being. Together, we share evidence-informed insights, real-life experiences, and simple tools that can help you better understand your body and support your health.

Whether you're living with chronic pain or illness, caring for someone who is, or simply looking for practical ways to reduce stress and improve your quality of life, you'll find encouragement, education, and hope here.

Because living well isn't about having a perfect body. It's about learning to work with the one you have.

“A house isn't truly a home until your story is attached to it.” That belief guides Jessica's work as founder of Delight Remodel & Design, creating beautiful, functional homes designed around the people who live in them.

A licensed builder and graduate of the New York Institute of Art & Design, Jessica serves on the Board for Habitat for Humanity of Kent County and is active in the Home Builders Association and Professional Women in Building. In 2025, she received the Tenacity Award from West Michigan Woman magazine.

After surviving a life-changing automobile accident, Jessica gained an even deeper appreciation for how a home can support every stage of life. Today, she brings that perspective to her work, creating spaces for families to gather, make memories, and live beautifully.
