Finding Purpose

What happens when some of the most painful experiences of your life ultimately lead you toward your purpose?

In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Carli Wargo, licensed clinical social worker, addiction professional, and Executive Director of the InService Foundation, for an honest conversation about addiction, grief, recovery, family trauma, mental health, boundaries, and turning loss into meaningful service.

Carli's connection to addiction is deeply personal. Growing up with instability, she experienced the impact of her father's depression and alcohol use while taking on significant responsibility at a young age. Years later, her younger brother died from a heroin overdose at just 21. Her father later passed away after years of struggling with alcohol addiction and depression.

Carli opens up about grief, guilt, anger, shame, and the complicated emotions that can come with loving someone struggling with substance use disorder. She shares how working in the addiction field eventually gave her an opportunity to turn her grief into action—and develop a deeper understanding of the disease that profoundly affected her family.

Adam and Carli explore addiction as a family disease, the stigma surrounding substance use, supporting someone in recovery, healthy boundaries, family involvement in treatment, relapse, compassion, and why getting sober is often only the beginning of the recovery journey.

They also discuss the emotional realities of working in behavioral health—the incredible moments of watching people rebuild relationships, careers, independence, and their lives, alongside the heartbreak of relapse, overdose, and loss.

Carli shares the work of the InService Foundation, a national nonprofit providing financial assistance, care coordination, and long-term recovery support to individuals who may otherwise be unable to afford the services they need.

Ultimately, this is a conversation about what can happen when grief becomes action, compassion replaces judgment, and our most difficult experiences become an opportunity to serve someone else.

Carli Wargo is a licensed clinical social worker, addiction professional, and Executive Director of the InService Foundation. Her work focuses on addiction, mental health, recovery, and supporting families affected by substance use.

In addition to her leadership at InService, Carli maintains a private practice supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, addiction, and the complexities of loving someone in recovery.

How do you turn childhood trauma, mental health struggles, and self-doubt into a life driven by purpose?

In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Lawrence Harris, youth motivational speaker, author, and mental health advocate, for a powerful conversation about overcoming adversity, healing from childhood trauma, building resilience, spirituality, self-worth, and finding purpose through pain.

Growing up, Lawrence experienced severe bullying, an abusive relationship with his father, and significant mental health challenges. At 12, he began therapy and was diagnosed with complex PTSD. As the oldest sibling, he also felt a deep responsibility to protect his younger siblings while struggling to understand his own emotions.

Lawrence shares how therapy, journaling, fitness, mindfulness, fishing, spirituality, and honest self-reflection helped him begin processing his past and changing the trajectory of his life. He opens up about anger, isolation, shame, autism, intrusive memories, self-doubt, forgiveness, and learning that his past did not have to define his future.

At just 20 years old, Lawrence has transformed those experiences into a mission to help young people recognize their worth and believe in what is possible for their lives. His work as a youth speaker has brought him in front of tens of thousands of students, schools, and organizations, and he is the author of eight books.

Adam and Lawrence also explore social media and comparison, family support, breaking generational patterns, faith and spirituality, overcoming your inner critic, mental health resources for young people, and why purpose is often hidden inside the experiences that once caused us pain.

This conversation is a reminder that your story doesn't have to become your limitation. It can become the reason someone else realizes they aren't alone.

Lawrence Harris is a youth motivational speaker, author, and mental health advocate dedicated to helping young people believe in themselves, overcome adversity, and make choices that change their future.

Drawing from his own experiences with trauma and mental health, Lawrence uses vulnerability and storytelling to inspire resilience, hope, self-belief, and purpose. He has spoken to tens of thousands of students and is the author of eight books.

What if healthcare focused on keeping you healthy—not just treating you once something goes wrong?

In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Erica Brawner, nutritionist, IFBB Pro bodybuilder, entrepreneur, and founder of Elite Healthspan, for a conversation about longevity, preventive health, personalized healthcare, nutrition, hormone health, fitness, and taking greater ownership of your well-being.

Erica shares how her journey evolved from fitness and competitive bodybuilding into nutrition, biotech, regenerative health, advanced diagnostics, and health optimization. After years working around emerging healthcare technologies, she became increasingly interested in helping people better understand their health and the options available to them.

They explore personalized healthcare, bloodwork and biomarkers, women's hormone health, healthy aging, nutrition, strength training, movement, community, stress, and everyday habits that can support a healthier life.

Erica also shares her experience advocating for hormone testing after experiencing brain fog, anxiety, and low energy, and why asking better questions and becoming an informed advocate for your health matters.

Beyond longevity, Erica and Adam discuss motherhood, divorce, bodybuilding, entrepreneurship, resilience, navigating major life transitions, and having the courage to pivot when life changes.

Ultimately, this conversation asks a bigger question: How can we not only live longer—but build healthier, stronger, more connected lives along the way?

Who were you before trauma, relationships, expectations, and survival taught you who you needed to become?

In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Kristen Crabtree—author, certified divorce coach, founder of Paramour Paradox, and self-described "archaeologist of the self"—for a powerful conversation about psychological abuse, divorce, trauma recovery, emotional sobriety, authenticity, self-discovery, and finding purpose after losing yourself.

Kristen shares her deeply personal journey from experiencing sexual trauma as a teenager to spending 22 years in a psychologically abusive marriage. Over time, control, manipulation, isolation, and self-doubt left her disconnected from her own identity and questioning her ability to make even basic decisions.

Everything began to change when Kristen realized she could no longer stay.

After leaving her marriage in her mid-50s, she began confronting not only what had happened to her, but an even bigger question: Who am I now?

Kristen discusses healing from psychological and narcissistic abuse, EMDR and trauma therapy, alcoholism and recovery, rebuilding self-worth after divorce, and recognizing how survival patterns can become mistaken for identity. She explains why constantly replaying our trauma can keep us attached to the past and explores her concept of "emotional sobriety"—understanding how our bodies and minds can become conditioned to familiar emotional states.

Adam and Kristen also explore shame, addiction, emotional regulation, surrender, spirituality, people-pleasing, fear, living intentionally, and learning how to feel emotions without allowing them to control your life.

Through Paramour Paradox and her work as an "archaeologist of the self," Kristen now helps people excavate the layers of conditioning and adaptation they've accumulated throughout their lives. Her philosophy challenges the idea that healing requires becoming someone new. Instead, transformation may be about remembering the person who was there all along.

This is a conversation about surviving, healing, remembering, and finally giving yourself permission to live as the person you truly are.

Kristen Crabtree is an author, certified divorce coach, and founder of Paramour Paradox. After leaving a 22-year psychologically abusive marriage, Kristen transformed her own healing journey into work designed to help others reconnect with their authentic selves.

She is the author of Be the You That's More You Than You've Ever Been and uses psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, lived experience, and self-inquiry to help people uncover who they are beneath conditioning and survival patterns.

What if the parts of your story you've spent years trying to escape are actually the experiences preparing you for your purpose?

In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Joseph "JP" Pellicci—entrepreneur, coach, author, and founder of Elite Life Emergence—for a powerful conversation about childhood trauma, self-worth, forgiveness, self-love, spirituality, fatherhood, and breaking the patterns that keep us disconnected from who we truly are.

Joseph's story began in Stamford, Connecticut, where he grew up in his family's restaurant business and learned responsibility at an early age. But behind that upbringing were experiences that would profoundly shape his identity: struggling with dyslexia and special education, bullying, violence, feeling unsafe, becoming a father at just 15, raising children as a single father, and carrying a deeply rooted belief that he wasn't enough.

Years later, discovering his wife's affair became another defining moment. Instead of allowing the experience to destroy him, Joseph began questioning the patterns that continued appearing throughout his life. What followed was a journey inward—toward responsibility, forgiveness, gratitude, spirituality, self-acceptance, and ultimately self-love.

Joseph explains why healing begins when we stop blaming the world around us and become curious about what our triggers may be revealing within us. He and Adam explore childhood wounds, the inner child, external validation, vulnerability, ego, acceptance, nervous system regulation, breathwork, authenticity, relationships, fatherhood, and learning to take responsibility for the life you want to create.

They also discuss why purpose isn't necessarily something we need to manufacture or chase. Sometimes finding purpose is a process of removing the conditioning, fear, judgment, and expectations that have separated us from who we have always been.

At its core, this conversation is about coming home to yourself—learning to accept your entire story, transforming adversity into growth, and realizing that self-love may be one of the most powerful ways we can change our relationships, our families, and the world around us.

Joseph Pellicci is an entrepreneur, coach, author, and founder of Elite Life Emergence. Through coaching, speaking, transformational experiences, and his book 12 Steps to Loving Yourself, Joseph helps people move beyond external validation, reconnect with themselves, and build lives rooted in self-worth, authenticity, love, and purpose.

He is also involved in The Remembrance, an immersive retreat experience designed to help participants reconnect with who they are beneath conditioning, fear, and the noise of everyday life.

In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Jennifer Rozon—certified nutrition coach, founder of Revibe Nutrition, speaker, and host of the Revibe Your Life Podcast—for an honest conversation about women's health after 40, metabolism, hormones, weight loss, body image, confidence, mindset, and finding purpose.

Jennifer grew up believing that how she looked was directly connected to her worth and success. That pursuit of perfection eventually contributed to a seven-year struggle with an eating disorder—an experience she rarely speaks about publicly.

When Jennifer learned her health was affecting her ability to conceive, everything began to change. She slowly rebuilt her relationship with food, learned how nutrition could fuel rather than punish her body, and began developing the knowledge that would eventually shape her work with other women.

Today, Jennifer's mission goes far beyond helping women lose weight.

She explains why women in their 40s and 50s often feel disconnected from bodies that are changing through perimenopause, menopause, hormonal shifts, metabolism changes, low energy, and aging—and why the answer isn't another restrictive diet or quick fix.

Adam and Jennifer discuss sustainable weight loss, strength training, nutrition, protein, healthy habits, morning routines, mindset, GLP-1 medications and peptides, muscle mass, bone health, and why longevity should matter more than simply looking good for the next six months.

They also explore the deeper emotional side of transformation: overcoming shame, rebuilding confidence, changing your relationship with food, letting go of external validation, and learning to work with the body you have today rather than fighting to become the person you once were.

Jennifer shares why sustainable health begins with understanding your deeper "why" and creating habits that actually fit your life.

At its core, this conversation is about much more than weight loss. It's about reclaiming your energy, confidence, health, and identity—and building a stronger body and life for the decades ahead.

Jennifer Rozon is a certified nutrition coach, speaker, founder of Revibe Nutrition, and host of the Revibe Your Life Podcast. She helps women over 40 navigate changing hormones, metabolism, energy, nutrition, strength, confidence, and sustainable weight loss.

Her approach focuses on moving beyond quick fixes and helping women create realistic habits that support long-term health, longevity, and a stronger relationship with their bodies.

In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Rosalie Kissmann—speaker, educator, happiness teacher, and founder of Joy Redefined—for a powerful conversation about finding joy, trusting your intuition, overcoming fear, authentic living, self-love, relationships, spirituality, and discovering your purpose.

Rosalie grew up as the daughter of Italian immigrants in a traditional household where life came with a clear roadmap: work hard, get an education, get married, and follow the rules. For years, she checked every box. By her twenties, she had the marriage, beautiful home, luxury cars, and vacations that were supposed to represent success.

But something was missing.

At 31, Rosalie trusted the voice inside telling her that the life she had built wasn't the life she was meant to live. Despite resistance from her family and the fear of starting over, she chose divorce and walked away from the comfort and security she had known.

Going from a 3,600-square-foot home to a one-bedroom apartment taught her something life-changing: happiness and fulfillment aren't the same thing as having more.

Adam and Rosalie explore the psychology of happiness, including the difference between hedonic happiness—the temporary pleasure we experience through possessions and experiences—and eudaimonic happiness, the deeper fulfillment that comes from meaning, growth, and living in alignment.

Rosalie also opens up about one of the darkest periods of her life. During the pandemic, while teaching and raising her daughters, she reached a point where she no longer wanted to live. Then, during an experience she describes as divine, she felt a powerful shift that changed the trajectory of her life and deepened her connection to spirituality and purpose.

That journey ultimately became Joy Redefined.

Rosalie explains why joy isn't reserved for life's happiest moments. It can exist alongside grief, adversity, uncertainty, and struggle. She shares practical insights on staying present, strengthening social connection, breaking generational patterns, embracing failure, removing the masks we wear, and learning to become your own biggest supporter.

She also shares her JOY framework: Just remove your mask. Own your story. You are enough.

At its core, this conversation challenges us to stop looking outside ourselves for happiness and start building lives rooted in authenticity, purpose, connection, and self-acceptance.

Rosalie Kissmann is a speaker, educator, happiness teacher, and founder of Joy Redefined. After 25 years as an elementary school teacher, she expanded her passion for education by teaching happiness to children and sharing her message with broader audiences through motivational speaking.

Her work explores happiness, authenticity, self-acceptance, resilience, relationships, spirituality, and what it means to find joy even when life isn't perfect.

In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Jeffery Seitz—writer, storyteller, and lifelong creative—for an honest conversation about overcoming shame, faith, self-acceptance, vulnerability, community, creativity, and finding purpose through the stories that shape us.

Growing up homeschooled in a faith-centered household, Jeffery often struggled with feeling different. As he entered adulthood, questions about identity, masculinity, career, belonging, and his relationship with God became increasingly difficult to ignore.

Jeffery opens up about seasons of frustration with his faith, comparing his life to others, struggling to accept himself, and questioning why the opportunities he wanted weren't happening on his timeline.

The conversation takes a deeply personal turn as Jeffery shares the shame he carried around his appearance, being homeschooled, living with celiac disease, and his struggle with pornography addiction. For years, he believed parts of himself needed to remain hidden.

That began to change when he found a community where vulnerability was met with compassion rather than judgment. Jeffery describes the night he finally admitted he wasn't happy and shared his addiction with a group of men. Instead of experiencing the rejection he feared, he found love, accountability, and support.

Adam and Jeffery explore why shame thrives in secrecy, how vulnerability creates connection, and why our struggles can be part of our story without defining who we are.

They also discuss Jeffery's evolving relationship with Christianity, learning to question without abandoning faith, and how community helped transform his relationship with God.

Storytelling becomes another powerful thread. Through writing his debut novel, A Dragon from Heaven, Jeffery began recognizing that perfect characters don't create meaningful stories—imperfection, struggle, and redemption do.

At its core, this conversation is about accepting your story, letting go of shame, and recognizing that what you once wanted to hide may ultimately become part of your purpose.

Jeffery Seitz is a writer, storyteller, and lifelong creative from Highland, New York. His professional journey spans higher education, nonprofit work, healthcare, communications, entertainment, and publishing.

Today, he is channeling his experiences, imagination, and love of literature into his debut novel, A Dragon from Heaven, exploring themes of faith, identity, imperfection, and redemption.

In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Elizabeth Rosenberg—entrepreneur, communications strategist, intuitive medium, and founder of The Good Advice Company—for a candid conversation about burnout, authentic leadership, personal branding, spirituality, intuition, and finding purpose in an increasingly AI-driven world.

After more than two decades in public relations, advertising, and communications, Elizabeth had built a successful career working with major global brands. But behind that success was an unsustainable pace. While working nearly 80-hour weeks, a debilitating migraine caused her to lose her motor skills and sent her to the emergency room—forcing her to eventually reconsider how she was living.

Adam and Elizabeth explore burnout, why success doesn't always equal alignment, and how boundaries, physical health, and spiritual health can change the direction of our lives.

They also dive into personal branding and authentic leadership—why trying to be everything to everyone weakens your message, why failures can create deeper human connection than accomplishments, and why authenticity is becoming increasingly valuable in an AI-driven world.

Elizabeth also shares her journey as an intuitive medium and how embracing spirituality became part of her professional identity rather than something she needed to hide. Together, they discuss intuitive intelligence, trusting your inner voice, curiosity, purpose, and having the courage to build a life that reflects who you actually are.

Elizabeth Rosenberg is an entrepreneur, communications strategist, advisor, intuitive medium, and founder of The Good Advice Company, where she works with executives and organizations on personal branding, communications strategy, thought leadership, visibility, and authentic leadership.

She is also the founder of Chief Spiritual Officer, a platform exploring spiritual health, intuitive intelligence, and the uniquely human skills leaders can cultivate as AI continues reshaping the workplace.

In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Eric Pellini—coach, speaker, creator of the Dojo Method, and creator of The Liminal Father—for a deeply personal conversation about childhood trauma, addiction, shame, spirituality, fatherhood, identity, and personal transformation.

Eric traces much of his journey back to childhood, when his parents' divorce changed the way he experienced himself and the world around him. What followed were years of searching for safety, identity, validation, and belonging through sports, achievement, relationships, and other forms of coping.

After pursuing broadcast journalism, Eric pivoted into fitness and built a career around physical performance. But chronic pain, relationship struggles, addiction, and the constant pressure to perform eventually forced him to look beyond the physical and confront the emotional patterns underneath.

In one of the most vulnerable moments of the conversation, Eric opens up about pornography addiction, the shame surrounding it, and finally sharing the truth with the woman who would become his wife. Adam and Eric explore why shame thrives in secrecy, the difference between guilt and shame, and how self-compassion can help us heal the parts of ourselves we've tried to hide.

They also discuss spirituality, surrender, trusting something greater than ourselves, and learning to recognize the patterns shaping our identity.

Fatherhood has brought another evolution to Eric's journey. Through The Liminal Father, he is creating space for honest conversations about modern fatherhood, men's mental health, emotional overwhelm, marriage, masculinity, identity, and the struggles many fathers experience but rarely discuss openly.

At its core, this conversation is about healing the past, breaking old patterns, and intentionally becoming the person you want to be.

Eric Pellini is a coach, speaker, mentor, and creator of the Dojo Method, an approach integrating physical training, mental performance, values, emotional awareness, and identity to create sustainable transformation.

He is also the creator of The Liminal Father, a platform exploring modern fatherhood and men's mental health through vulnerable conversations about identity, relationships, emotional healing, and personal growth.

Eric's work helps adults and young people develop greater self-awareness, reconnect with their values, and build lives rooted in truth, purpose, and alignment.
