PODCAST

The moment school ends, the rails disappear—and suddenly you’re supposed to design a life you’ve never practiced living. We sit down with youth coach Hillary Spiritus to untangle that leap, challenge hand-me-down definitions of success, and map a path that’s actually yours. From family pressure and social media comparison to the quiet tug of your inner voice, we explore how...

What if the nudge you’ve been ignoring is the doorway to your real life? We sit down with Dan Parr, a Nashville-based voice actor who never planned to touch Scripture—until corporate downsizing, a few well-timed affirmations, and a stubborn whisper from God pushed him to create an easy-to-understand Bible for people who feel shut out by religious language. Dan’s story...

Ever zoned out in a boring meeting, blinked, and found yourself in the driveway? That gentle drift is the same brain state hypnotherapists use to help us change stubborn patterns—without gimmicks, fear, or loss of control. We sit down with hypnotherapist Craig Meriwether to demystify hypnosis, break down brainwaves in plain English, and explore how the subconscious stores “files” that...

What if the ladder you’ve been climbing leans against the wrong wall? Aaron joins us to unpack how 20 years on Wall Street led to a breaking point, a leap into the unknown, and a framework for awakening that blends grounded logic, psychology, and practical spirituality. We talk candidly about illusions of success, the subtle ways systems train us to...

What if the problem isn’t your child, but the way we’re asking their brain to learn? We sit down with Russell Van Brocklen, who once tested at a first-grade reading level and later held his ground in law school, to unpack a strength-first approach that helps dyslexic and ADHD learners thrive. Instead of forcing kids through slow, demoralizing drills, Russell...

What if the hardest things that ever happened to you became the very tools that set you free? That’s the surprising turn in our conversation with author and speaker Michaela Cox, who faced the “triple D” by 38—disability, divorce, and death—and learned how to transform crisis into clarity. Born totally blind and later regaining impaired sight, she grew up solving...

Fear, doubt, and worry can feel like permanent settings—until you learn to build a case for yourself. We sit down with Heather Hansen, former top trial attorney and author of The Elegant Warrior, to explore how courtroom tools translate into everyday wins at work, at home, and in moments when identity is shifting. After two decades defending doctors and nurses...

What if the first step toward healing wasn’t advice, but silence—the kind that lets someone finally speak? We sit down with Noah, who was diagnosed with clinical depression at 13 and later with anxiety that didn’t look “textbook.” His story threads through family strain, a grandmother’s dementia, school pressures, and the moment a mom simply asked, “Are you okay?” and...

What if the feeling of being “broken” is actually a map back to yourself? We sit down with Cristiano Colla to trace a raw, human journey from loneliness and post-breakup spirals to a 12-day ayahuasca retreat in the Peruvian jungle—and, more importantly, the quiet months of integration that followed. The result isn’t a tidy cure; it’s a grounded way of...
