In this episode, we tackle a deeply personal question: When does a lifelong passion start to feel immature?

A 30-year-old musician reflects on nearly two decades of playing, performing, and finding identity through music—only to now feel embarrassment and doubt when stepping on stage. Once a vital outlet for expression and mental health, music has begun to feel at odds with adulthood and self-perception. Is this a natural growing pain, a sign to step away, or something deeper? The conversation explores creative identity, aging, and whether passion has an expiration date.

In this episode, we explore a powerful question: How do you start over after everything falls apart? After turning 40, one man reflects on a five-year stretch marked by chronic injury, multiple surgeries, opioid dependence, and the loss of a career he held for nearly two decades. Now clean and medically stabilized after discovering and treating a pituitary tumor, he feels physically renewed but emotionally in rebuild mode. Grateful for his family and health, he opens up about navigating regret, lost relationships, and career uncertainty while searching for direction in this new chapter of life.
