In this deeply moving episode of the Resilient Now Podcast, host Liliana Brown sits down with Chaz McEwan, a devoted husband and father whose life was turned upside down when the Los Angeles wildfires destroyed everything his family had built.

Chaz opens up about the raw, emotional reality of losing his home, cherished memories, and sense of safety—all in one night. He walks us through the chaos that followed: finding temporary shelter, facing endless insurance hurdles, and trying to stay strong for his wife while grieving in silence himself.

But behind the heartbreak is a story of incredible resilience.

Chaz shares the wisdom and strength shaped and how he coped with disaster. His lessons—about perseverance, family unity, and faith—became his anchor in the storm. He reflects on the emotional weight of starting over and the unexpected peace that came from letting go of material things to focus on what truly matters.
