This week, Auntie Oprah (as Jay calls her) lent us an episode from Trials to Triumphs, a podcast on the Oprah Winfrey Network. Hosted by Ashley Blaine Featherson-Jenkins, Trials to Triumphs discusses the personal and professional struggles of innovators–just like The Limits.

On today's episode, Ashley speaks with actress and singer Amber P. Riley. Amber is best known for her role as Mercedes on the hit comedy-drama series Glee. She also starred in the West End debut of Dreamgirls and won season 17 of Dancing with the Stars in 2013.

Amber and Ashley discuss reaching contentment by nurturing authentic relationships, embracing stillness and finding peace. Amber also gets real about building her Glee family, and how she managed the loss of beloved costars.
