What happens when the mission ends…

But life is still asking you to keep moving forward?

For many people, resilience is something they admire from a distance.

For today’s guest, it’s something he’s had to live.

In this episode of Human Enough, I sit down with Rich LaMonica, a 22-year U.S. Army veteran, award-winning author, motivational speaker, and host of The MisFitNation Podcast.

After leading soldiers through some of the military’s most demanding environments, Rich faced a different battle after retirement: rediscovering his identity beyond the uniform. That journey became the foundation for his work helping others build resilience, find purpose, and transform life’s setbacks into opportunities for growth.

Together, we explore leadership, military service, resilience, identity, purpose, mental toughness, and why lasting success is built one small victory at a time.

There comes a moment in many of our lives when the people who once cared for us begin to need us instead.

Our parents age.

Difficult conversations begin.

Roles quietly reverse.

And somewhere between careers, raising children, and trying to hold our own lives together, we’re suddenly asked to make impossible decisions for the people who once made them for us.

In this episode of Human Enough, I sit down with Janice Goldmintz, gerontology expert, founder of Talk About Aging, and author of Getting Older But Not Old.

After supporting both of her parents through Alzheimer’s disease and spending more than sixteen years helping families navigate aging, Janice shares practical wisdom and heartfelt insight into one of life’s most emotional transitions.

Together, we explore caregiving, grief before loss, family conflict, leadership, responsibility, and how we can honor our parents without losing ourselves.

How far can a person fall before there’s no way back?

What happens when addiction steals your identity…

Your relationships…

Your health…

And almost your life?

In this episode of Human Enough, I sit down with Timothy Moylan, author of Rock Bottom Has a Basement and Montana business owner.

After years of alcoholism, legal troubles, and a life-threatening battle with heart failure, Tim found himself at the lowest point imaginable. But instead of allowing his story to end there, he chose recovery, faith, accountability, and the difficult work of rebuilding his life one day at a time.

Together, we explore addiction, shame, recovery, forgiveness, faith, resilience, second chances, and why no one is ever too far gone to begin again.

Who are we beyond our thoughts… our careers… our identities?

Why do certain patterns keep repeating in our lives?

What if our struggles aren’t random, but invitations to grow?

In this episode of Human Enough, I sit down with Dr. MonaLisa Coburn—teacher, consciousness author, medium, and founder of Soul Navigators Academy.

After years as an educator, MonaLisa’s life took an unexpected turn when, as she describes it, her spirit team asked her to begin teaching the principles of One Consciousness. Today, she helps people understand their spiritual journey, develop intuition, and navigate life with greater clarity, purpose, and joy.

Together, we explore consciousness, awakening, intuition, soul purpose, recurring life patterns, and what it means to live with a deeper awareness of ourselves and the world around us.

Can confidence save a life?

What if addiction isn’t simply about substances…

But about shame…

Disconnection…

And believing you’ll never become someone different?

In this episode of Human Enough, I sit down with entrepreneur, author, and addiction recovery advocate Massimo Rigotti.

After battling bipolar disorder, addiction, losing everything he had built, and rebuilding his life from the ground up, Massimo developed what he calls the SOBER Method™—a framework that combines Stoic principles, self-awareness, behavior change, positive habits, and holistic restoration to help people break free from addiction and rediscover confidence.

Our conversation explores addiction, mental health, grief, resilience, confidence, recovery, and why lasting transformation begins long before someone takes their final drink.

What does it actually mean to be a man today?

For generations, many men were taught to stay strong, hide their emotions, solve problems alone, and never ask for help.

But beneath the surface, countless men are carrying loneliness, shame, anxiety, broken relationships, and the quiet belief that they have to face life on their own.

In this episode of Human Enough, I sit down with Jason Lange, men’s embodiment coach, group facilitator, and founder of Evolutionary Men.

After struggling with loneliness, disconnection, and difficulty forming intimate relationships, Jason discovered men’s work—a journey that transformed not only how he related to others, but how he related to himself. Today, he helps men develop emotional resilience, healthier relationships, and a deeper sense of purpose through men’s groups, embodiment, and shadow work.

Together, we explore masculinity, vulnerability, healing, emotional intelligence, relationships, and why no man was meant to walk alone.

Can one experience change your life?

Or is real transformation something much slower…

Much messier…

And much more human?

In this episode of Human Enough, I sit down with Oliver Glozik, founder of Harmonica Retreat in Colombia, where he works alongside the Kamsá Biyá indigenous tradition helping people navigate profound healing experiences through ayahuasca.

After searching for something he couldn’t quite name, Oliver found himself building a retreat center in the Colombian mountains, partnering with researchers at Imperial College London, and guiding hundreds of people through one of the most misunderstood healing practices in the world.

Together, we explore trauma, healing, consciousness, addiction, loneliness, identity, integration, and why the ceremony itself is only the beginning.

Who says your biggest dream has an expiration date?

Many people spend decades working, raising families, and fulfilling responsibilities, believing that creativity belongs to the young.

But what if retirement isn’t the end of your story…

What if it’s the beginning of the chapter you’ve been waiting your whole life to write?

In this episode of Human Enough, I sit down with Paula Panariello, historical romance author and lifelong lover of history.

After retiring, Paula discovered a new passion for writing, going from having an idea to writing six novels in just three years. Through historical romance, she brings forgotten eras back to life while reminding us that it’s never too late to begin again.

Together, we explore creativity, reinvention, storytelling, history, courage, and why our next chapter can become our best one.

What if the biggest thing holding you back isn’t fear…

Or a lack of confidence…

Or even a lack of clarity?

What if it’s hesitation?

In this episode of Human Enough, I sit down with Karen Theimer, Freedom Coach, Breathwork Facilitator, and creator of The Moment of Action™.

After navigating divorce, surviving cancer, and rebuilding her life in her 50s, Karen discovered that lasting transformation doesn’t happen because we try harder—it happens when we understand the patterns that keep us stuck and learn how to work with our nervous system instead of against it.

Together, we explore reinvention, healing, resilience, confidence, breathwork, and why it’s never too late to begin again.

What happens when life strips away everything you thought was certain?

When the person you love suffers a devastating stroke…

When doctors tell you there’s little hope…

When you survive not one, but two battles with a deadly cancer…

And when your future depends on the generosity of a stranger you’ve never met?

In this episode of Human Enough, I sit down with author and cancer survivor Dean Weitenhagen.

After traveling to China in search of healing for his wife’s paralysis, Dean’s own life took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. A stem cell transplant from a young man he had never met gave him a second chance—and with it came a question that changed everything:

Why are we here?

Together, we explore purpose, gratitude, mortality, resilience, faith, love, and what life’s hardest moments can teach us about truly living.
