Burnout doesn’t always roar. Sometimes it whispers through a spotless calendar, a packed to-do list, and the constant need to be “fine.” Today we sit with two origin stories of awakening: Melanie stands before the ashes of her burned home and sees how people-pleasing had already scorched her spirit, while Sylvia faces a life-threatening diagnosis and chooses surrender over control....

What happens when a handful of idealists turn a quiet idea about human potential into a global movement—and then have to live with the power that follows? We sit down with Marcia Martin, whose new memoir, Sex, Power, and Transformation, peels back the curtain on the early days of EST (later Landmark), the boom in personal development, and the private...

Change can feel like a threat, but what if the crossroads in front of you is a divine invitation? We sit down with Dr. Sue McCreadie—pediatrician, coach, and luminous truth-teller—to unpack how fear, doubt, and the illusion of control keep us looping old stories and how alignment can transform pain into purpose. Her story begins with a conversation she avoided...

What if the place that hurt you is the place you heal? That question threads through a raw, hopeful conversation with senior pastor Carlos Ortiz Jr., who opens up about childhood abuse inside the church, a secret life of addiction masked by achievement, and the quiet night in a college dorm when a whisper to “trust” began a long, layered...

A love story can end on earth and still keep shaping lives. Michelle Bader Ebersole takes us from a whirlwind engagement to a rare cancer diagnosis, through amputation, parenthood, and the long quiet of hospice during lockdown. When doctors say “terminal,” she and her three kids choose presence over perfect plans—Dream Foundation trips, nightly movies, popcorn, and a final, tender...

What if love isn’t a feeling but a force—and you’ve already felt it? We sit down with Laura Hoorweg to trace the surprising ways the divine breaks through: a child searching for God in church aisles, a teen lifted above a cliff into the galaxies, and a young woman warned by a “police officer” who may have been something else...

What if everything you’ve been taught about fear, love, and even spirituality is too small for who you really are? Today, we sit down with Christian de la Huerta to trace a raw, hopeful path from paralyzing shyness and self-hatred to self-love, purpose, and relationships that actually work. His story spans cultural pressure, misreadings of religion, and the long shadow...
