It started like so many things do these days—with a scroll.

Just another post in a crowded feed. Easy to pass by. Easy to forget.

But this one stopped her.

A girl was in desperate need of a kidney. A family waiting, hoping, praying that someone—anyone—would step forward.

And in a moment most of us would hesitate… she didn’t.

She said yes.

Today, we’re talking to brave woman who turned compassion into action and the girl who received that beautiful gift.

This is a story about sacrifice… about faith… and about the extraordinary power of an ordinary person choosing to do something extraordinary.

The Truth About Homelessness | Tanji Patton's Goodtaste for the Soul e66

Hair loss affects millions of men and women, yet it’s something many people deal with quietly. While it’s often seen as cosmetic, it can impact confidence, identity, and how we show up in the world.

Today on Goodtaste for the Soul, we’re talking about the science behind hair loss — what causes it, why it affects both men and women, and the real options available for treatment and regrowth.

Joining me is physician Manny Lopez, who has spent years helping patients understand the root causes of hair loss and the medical advancements changing the conversation.

From genetics and hormones to stress and health conditions, Dr. Lopez explains what’s really happening beneath the surface — and how you can slow down or maybe reverse the hair loss.

Sometimes the most powerful journeys begin with a choice — a choice that costs you everything
you’ve worked for.
My guest today knows that feeling well.
Denise Mazal grew up behind the Iron Curtain in what was then Czechoslovakia, where freedom
was limited and opportunity was tightly controlled. Denise was a talented athlete, a member of
the Czech national rowing team, with a real chance to compete in the 1976 Olympic Games in
Montreal.
But she made a remarkable decision.
In pursuit of freedom, Denise walked away from that Olympic dream — and from the country
she had always known.
Her story feels especially relevant right now. Just this week, several members of Iran’s women’s
national soccer team defected during an international tournament, choosing freedom over
returning home.
Different countries. Different generations. But the same courageous choice.
Denise took that risk decades ago. Today she shares what it was like to leave everything behind,
the courage it took to start over, and how that decision shaped the rest of her life.

Great careers rarely begin where you expect.

For Harvey P. Hartenstine, the journey started in a community college classroom — a simple beginning that would eventually lead him to a pinnacle of banking in Texas.

Along the way, he’s helped guide businesses, mentor future leaders, and play a role in the growth of the Alamo City itself. But his story is about more than banking. It’s about perseverance, recognizing opportunity, and the people who help shape our path—Harvey is very grateful to the family who made this journey possible.

In today’s episode, we talk about his unlikely path to success and his perspective on the remarkable growth happening across Texas.

I just want to take a moment and say thank you.

Because of you, Goodtaste for the Soul has reached 10,000 subscribers on YouTube. And that number means so much more to me than you probably realize.

When I started this podcast, I honestly didn’t know what to expect. It felt vulnerable. It felt personal. It felt different from anything I’ve done in my 30-plus years in television. There were moments of excitement — and moments of doubt.

But you showed up.

You watched. You listened. You commented. You shared episodes with friends. You sent messages about how a particular conversation helped you through a hard season. And little by little, this community grew.

10,000 subscribers isn’t just a milestone — it represents 10,000 people who care about meaningful conversations. About faith. About hope. About real stories from real people.

That humbles me more than I can say.

Thank you for trusting me with your time. Thank you for your encouragement. Thank you for your thoughtful comments and your grace. Thank you for walking this journey with me.

We’re just getting started — and I’m so grateful you’re here.

With all my heart,

There’s a sacred space here in the Texas Hill Country. It’s easy to miss — just a simple building about fifty yards from the Guadalupe River. But inside, a few quiet rooms are holding things that mean everything to someone.

Since the July 4 flood that took so many lives, thousands of personal belongings have been recovered from the river — photographs, keepsakes, pieces of everyday life. Each one tells a story. Each one belonged to someone who mattered.

In today’s episode, you’ll meet the remarkable woman who’s taken on the heavy but sacred responsibility of caring for these items — gently collecting them, restoring them, and holding them safe until they can hopefully find their way home.

It’s sacred work. And it’s heavy work. Even now, seven months later, many of these belongings remain unclaimed — family photos, a cherished set of china, and a small, tender collection of children’s items from Camp Mystic.
