Beauty in the Break

Breaking Open


Listen Later

In this debut episode of Beauty in the Break, hosts Foster Wilson and Cesar Cardona invite you into their world, where deep conversations, raw vulnerability, and the beauty of transformation take center stage. They introduce the heart of the podcast—exploring the moments that break us open and how we find light on the other side. 

Through personal stories, honest reflections, and thoughtful discussion, they dive into the experience of fear, uncertainty, and taking a leap of faith into the unknown. With humor, depth, and a willingness to be truly seen, this episode is both soul-nourishing and deeply relatable.

In this episode, they explore: 

  • What it really means to “break open” and how transformation happens
  • Listening to your body’s signals—how Foster knew it was time to leave a 17-year relationship
  • Why fear is a sign of growth (and how to work with it instead of against it)
  • Cesar’s leap of faith: moving to Los Angeles without a plan, and the unexpected lesson he learned
  • Grieving old versions of ourselves while stepping into something new
  • Why Cesar slept in his car (and how a stranger changed everything) 
  • The power of vulnerability—why being open is the key to deep connection
  • And introducing… Words of the Week!
