PODCAST

Something tries to keep this conversation from happening, and that becomes part of the point. When fear, doubt, and worry flare up right as you’re moving toward growth, it’s easy to assume you’re failing or that the people around you are the problem. I sit down with Michael J. Muccio, speaker and author of Evil’s First Breath, to talk about...

You can be talented, called, and experienced and still feel like an imposter the moment you’re asked to speak up. That split-second fear of being exposed is exactly what we unpack with Kurt Bush, an ordained minister and leadership coach who knows what it’s like to hover over “submit” and wonder if this is the day everyone finds out you...

A dream is easy to admire from a distance. It’s much harder when you’re staring at the ocean, your life packed into a 42-foot sailboat, and the weather decides to test you on day one. I’m joined by sailor and author Alison Gieschen, who shares how she and her husband Dan stopped treating “sail around the world” like a someday...

What if the breakthrough you keep praying for starts with one terrifying sentence: “I surrender”? Sylvia Worsham sits down with Dr. Laurette Willis for a raw, faith-forward conversation about the real path from pain to purpose, and why God doesn’t waste a single part of your story. Laurette shares how childhood trauma, compulsive overeating, and years of New Age spirituality...

If you’ve ever eaten to quiet your mind, numb a feeling, or prove you’re “fine,” this conversation goes straight to the root.

Isabel shares her story from...

The moment you decide to obey a calling is often the moment life tries to talk you out of it. Sylvia Worsham sits down with Dr Michelle Machado, a two-time TEDx speaker, former educator, and author of Alive Again: Four Steps to Reclaim Your Life in a Distracted World, to unpack what it looks like to follow God when you...

Your life can change in the space of two seconds. That’s the promise behind the “Epic Reset,” and it’s why I invited licensed professional counselor Zander Sprague to share the simple framework he uses to help people stop reacting on autopilot and start choosing a better path: Emotion, Pause, Interrupt, Choose. We talk about why that pause is the most...

Most people don’t need another piece of advice, they need to feel truly heard. Sylvia Worsham sits down with clinical psychologist Dr. Eleanor Haspel Portner to unpack why fear, doubt, and worry often grow louder when we try to “think” our way out of soul-level pain, and how purpose gets clearer when we return to inner alignment. We walk through...

A tough exterior can be a cover for a terrified inner child, and George Stoimenov is honest about what that costs. We talk about growing up in Bulgaria with a father he admired but couldn’t fully connect with, the moment shame “shattered” his inner world as a teenager, and how self-hatred can quietly turn into performance masculinity. Muscles, fights, alcohol,...
