Jamie Betz began asking questions before forgetting became the default. When subtle changes in her memory didn’t feel right, she chose to listen, to look closer, and to keep going even when reassurance would have been easier. This is the story of a woman who trusted herself, dared to find out, and, in doing so, changed the course of her Alzheimer’s journey.In a digital world often shaped by cynicism, comparison, and the quiet pressure to perform, Andy Min and Thomas Sullivan chose something radical: love, spoken out loud. Through nature, narrative, and a gentler language of connection, their work reminds us that softness is not weakness, and vulnerability is not a liability. In this conversation, we explore their creative journey, their hopeful blueprint for a more emotionally intelligent generation, and why they believe three simple words still carry the power to steady us, heal us, and bring us back to ourselves: We Love You.Featured in 'The Reset Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.comGuest: Jamie BetzHost: Allié McGuireMusic by: Paper PlanesProduced by: AwareNow Media#alzheimers #alz #alzheimer #alzheimersprevention #alzheimerscare

Sekond Skin Society wasn’t built as another fitness platform. It was born from Lee-Anne Reuber’s conviction that movement should feel like home for every body… disabled, fully able, or anywhere in between. In this conversation, we talk about the moments that shaped her mission, the courage it took to build something new, and the community she’s creating where belonging comes first.Featured in 'The Courage Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.comGuest: Lee-Anne ReuberHost: Allié McGuireMusic by: Greg McKayProduced by: AwareNow Media

Some stories don’t begin with purpose. They begin with loss, with questions too big for a child to carry and grief that quietly grows alongside them. When Addison Fraizer lost her mother to metastatic breast cancer at just six years old, it was not the end of her story. It was the beginning of a life shaped by love remembered, pain transformed, and courage learned over time. This is the story of a young woman learning who she is by honoring who she lost, and choosing purpose not despite her grief, but because of it.Featured in 'The Courage Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.comGuest: Addi FraizerHost: Allié McGuireMusic by: Assaf AyalonProduced by: AwareNow Media

Some lenses capture moments; others ignite movements. Allison Norlian has done both, from personal narrative on screen to empowering inclusivity in the gym, reshaping how disability is represented and experienced. This isn’t just about creating space; it’s about demanding it, filling it, and refusing to let the world look away.Featured in 'The Courage Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.comGuest: Allison NorlianHost: Allié McGuireMusic by: Jonas KolbergProduced by: AwareNow Media

At just seventeen, Lars Westra speaks with the clarity of someone who’s spent a lifetime being underestimated. At twelve, he stood before a room full of adults to ask them to take children seriously and was told to go play football. Instead, he chose to play a different game: one that challenges the rules of who gets to speak and who gets to be heard. With gratitude not for what he’s been given, but for what he’s discovered, which is the power of persistence, perspective, and voice, Lars reminds us that change doesn’t wait for permission. It begins the moment we decide to listen.
