    The People Who Stay There is a moment in almost every difficult season when we quietly start taking inventory of our lives. Not of our accomplishments. Not of our possessions. Of our people. Who still calls, still shows up, who sits in the silence when there are no easy answers? Who stays? That question stayed… Read more

    There are certain adventures I know I will probably never attempt. Running an ultramarathon is one of them. Climbing Mount Everest is another. And after listening to Rand Timmerman’s remarkable story on Change Happened, Then What?, I can confidently add hiking the entire Appalachian Trail to that list. More than 2,200 miles. Fourteen states. Mountains.… Read more

    Morgan Scafe’s Story and the Reality of Living with Complex PTSD One of the things that stayed with me most after recording Morgan Scafe’s story was how different survival looks from what many people imagine. When we hear stories about trauma, we often want a resolution. We want to believe that once the truth is… Read more

    There are certain people who walk into your life and somehow feel familiar. Before you fully understand why. That was Lisa for me.

    Some stories are not just about a person. They are about a moment in time and everything that had to change because of it. Ken Kunken’s story is one of those stories.

As I worked on this episode with Kenny, I kept coming back to my own experience during COVID. Not the headlines. Not the rules. But the moments that stayed… Read more

    There are moments in life that don’t just happen, they stay. They settle into you quietly, and over time, you begin to realize they shaped more than just that day, they shaped who you became after it. Recording Scott DeLuzio’s story for Change Happened, Then What? brought me back to one of those moments in… Read more

    There’s something about poetry that I’ve never quite been able to explain and maybe that’s the point. Poetry doesn’t ask you to understand it, It asks you to feel it, and I’ve always loved that. Even if I don’t read it as often as I wish I did. I don’t sit down every night with… Read more

    Grief has a way of changing shape over time. At first, it feels sharp and immediate—like something you can point to, something you can name. However, as the years pass, it becomes quieter, more woven into who you are. It doesn’t leave. Instead, it settles in beside you. That’s something I’ve come to understand in… Read more

    What happens when what you’re told is “right”… doesn’t feel right? That’s the question at the heart of this episode with Leah—and if I’m being honest, it’s one that brought me right back to a chapter of my own life. Because long before we had the language we have now—before terms like neurodivergent were part… Read more
