What happens when the life you built looks successful on the outside, but something inside you starts asking for more?

In this episode of Human Enough, I sit down with JJ DiGeronimo, a 4x award-winning author, keynote speaker, and host of Together We Seek, to explore crossroads, intuition, spiritual awakening, and the quiet whispers that can lead us toward a more meaningful life.

After more than two decades in Silicon Valley technology leadership, JJ experienced her own crossroads and began a deeply personal exploration of intuition, spirituality, and inner knowing.

We talk about why crossroads can be doorways rather than failures, how to recognize the difference between fear and intuition, and what happens when we stop ignoring the parts of ourselves asking to be heard.

JJ also shares her Six Phases of Spiritual Awakening and why sometimes the next chapter of our lives begins with simply becoming curious about what we already know deep down.

What happens when the career you worked so hard to build starts costing you your peace, identity, and joy?

In this episode of HUMAN ENOUGH, I sit down with Elisha Meek, author of Break Up With Burnout and a burnout coach with nearly two decades of corporate experience.

We talk about the pressure to keep achieving, perfectionism, people-pleasing, work stress, and what happens when your job title becomes too much of your identity.

Elisha also shares how she began creating a life beyond work through writing, creativity, and purpose—without having to walk away from her career.

This is a conversation about burnout, but also about something deeper: learning to build a life that feels like yours again.

What if stewardship isn’t really about money—but about how we live our entire lives?

In this episode of HUMAN ENOUGH, I sit down with Larry W. O’Nan, author of Intentional Living and Giving, to explore purpose, generosity, faith, confusion, and what it means to live intentionally.

After decades of working with Christian ministries and helping organizations raise millions of dollars, Larry discovered that true stewardship goes far beyond fundraising. It is about how we manage the time, talents, relationships, resources, and opportunities we’ve been entrusted with.

We talk about why people lose their sense of purpose, how fear and confusion can keep us stuck, why generosity can transform the way we live, and what it means to move from simply surviving to truly thriving.

What happens when life takes something from you that you can never get back?

In this episode of HUMAN ENOUGH, I sit down with Dr. Oluwole “Wole” Babatunde—a physician-scientist, psychiatrist, epidemiologist, author, and man of faith—to talk about grief, resilience, purpose, mental health, and learning to move forward when life doesn’t make sense.

Wole lost both of his parents at a young age. Yet instead of allowing those losses to define the limits of his life, he built a journey around faith, service, medicine, research, and helping others.

We talk about what it means to survive adversity without becoming defined by it, how faith can coexist with grief and uncertainty, and how painful experiences can sometimes become the foundation for purpose.

Wole also shares the ideas behind his book, Adapt and Advance, and what it means to move from simply surviving life to intentionally growing through it.

What happens when you get sober but still want to experience the world fully?

In this episode of HUMAN ENOUGH, I sit down with travel writer and long-time sober person Teresa Bergen, author of Sober Travel Handbook: Navigating the World Alcohol-Free, to talk about sobriety, travel, social pressure, relapse, and freedom.

For many people in recovery, traveling can bring unexpected challenges—airport bars, hotel minibars, weddings, conferences, cruises, social events, and cultures where drinking seems to be part of everything.

But Teresa’s message goes deeper than simply avoiding alcohol.

We talk about how sobriety can change the way you experience the world, how to handle pressure without losing yourself, and why getting sober shouldn’t mean making your life smaller.

What if some of the qualities you’ve been praised for your entire life—being agreeable, easygoing, helpful, quiet, and accommodating—were once ways you learned to feel safe?

In this episode of HUMAN ENOUGH, I sit down with Bradley L. Gabbert, author of The Agreeable Child: A Yogic Journey from Tragedy to Triumph, for a deeply personal conversation about childhood trauma, silence, people-pleasing, masculinity, relationships, and finding your voice later in life.

At just two years old, Bradley was struck by a car, spent two weeks in a coma, and returned home having lost the ability to walk and speak. Although he eventually recovered physically, the deeper patterns formed around that experience followed him for decades.

Bradley became what he calls “the agreeable child”—someone who avoided conflict, accommodated others, stayed quiet, and allowed other people to make decisions.

It took decades for him to recognize that what looked like kindness and flexibility could sometimes be a survival strategy.

His journey eventually led him through therapy, breathwork, yoga, meditation, and deeper self-reflection, where he began learning not how to become a different person, but how to participate more fully in his own life.

This conversation explores a question many people may quietly recognize in themselves:

When does keeping the peace become losing yourself?

What if the traits you’ve spent your life trying to “fix” are actually your greatest strengths?

In this episode of Human Enough, I sit down with entrepreneur, genetic wellness expert, podcast host, and author Len May to explore how understanding our DNA, brain chemistry, and natural wiring can transform the way we live, learn, and thrive.

Diagnosed with ADHD as a child, Len spent years believing something was wrong with him—until genetics helped him realize his brain wasn’t broken, just different.

We explore ADHD, curiosity, personalized medicine, identity, entrepreneurship, dopamine, and why understanding ourselves may be one of the most powerful forms of healing.

Are we all born creative—or do we simply forget?

In this episode of Human Enough, I sit down with artist, author, teacher, and entrepreneur Rick Sorenson to explore why so many adults believe they’re “not creative,” and how childhood experiences, fear, and self-doubt often silence the artist within.

Drawing from decades of teaching art, writing, and helping others rediscover their creative gifts, Rick shares why creativity isn’t reserved for painters or musicians—it’s a deeply human way of seeing, solving problems, and expressing who we are.

Whether you’ve always wanted to create or you’ve convinced yourself you’re simply “not artistic,” this conversation may help you see creativity—and yourself—in a completely new way.

How do you write about politics without losing your humanity?

In this episode of Human Enough, I sit down with author, lawyer, and poet Andrea W. LeDew to explore how poetry can help us process division, preserve truth, and navigate some of the most emotionally charged moments in modern history.

Drawing from her book Polemics: Political Poetry & Prose, Andrea reflects on the intersection of literature, law, patriotism, caregiving, and civic responsibility. Rather than debating policies, we explore what political conflict reveals about identity, empathy, hope, and the human experience.

This conversation is about more than politics—it’s about how we remain thoughtful, compassionate, and deeply human when the world feels increasingly divided.
