In this heartfelt and raw solo episode, Chad reflects on a deeply personal milestone: his son Camden turning 18. What starts as a celebration quickly turns into a vulnerable exploration of identity, purpose, and the emotional whirlwind that comes with watching your children grow into adulthood.

Chad shares what it feels like when your child no longer needs you in the same way—and how those moments often leave you wondering who you are now. This episode tackles the fast pace of time, the ache of transition, and the lie that we become less valuable as life changes. Through personal stories, biblical wisdom, and emotional insight, Chad invites listeners to rediscover purpose in the "in-between seasons" of life.

Whether you’re a parent watching your children leave the nest, someone who feels time slipping through your fingers, or just wrestling with feeling unseen or unused—this episode will speak directly to your heart.

Key Topics Covered:

• A brief look at this week’s most emotional headline and how it ties into life’s fragility

• Wrestling with feelings of being "less useful" when your role as a parent shifts
• The internal identity crisis many parents face in midlife
• What Scripture says about seasons, aging, and evolving purpose (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
• The example of Charles Spurgeon and his powerful quote about life’s painful waves
• How to grieve AND celebrate at the same time
• A new way to view your next season—not as the end, but as a divine shift
• 4 life-changing takeaways when you feel left behind
• Reflective questions to help listeners process their own journey
• A personal message from Chad to Camden—and to every parent learning to let go

Scripture Highlight:

Ecclesiastes 3:1 – “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.”

This episode centers around the reality that we are not losing purpose—we are entering a new phase of it.

Notable Quotes from Chad:

• “Your purpose hasn’t ended—it’s evolving.”
• “The speed of life doesn’t lessen your value. It invites you into a new role.”
• “Maybe now you’re not their superhero—but you’re the man they model their character after.”
• “God never stops using people who are willing—no matter how old you feel or how much has changed.”

In this powerful episode of Life Again, Chad sits down with Adele Wiejaczka—an adventurer, creative entrepreneur, and storyteller who has built a life (and a business) that defies the norm and embraces the unknown.

Adele’s journey began with a childhood dream of becoming a professional dog musher in Alaska—and she made it happen. But rather than settling into that success, she kept evolving, kept expanding. Today, she lives and works from a self-built truck camper while running her thriving creative business, Live Large Design.

But it hasn’t all been mountaintop moments.

Just last year, Adele lost thousands of dollars in a scam while trying to upgrade her camper and found herself without a home. Instead of crumbling, she rebuilt—literally and figuratively. She designed and constructed her own mobile home, reclaimed her autonomy, and reshaped her business to reflect a deeper, more aligned version of herself.

Now, through her new platform West of Normal, Adele shares her ongoing journey of recovery, resilience, and thriving—on her own terms.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How following a wild dream can lead to something even better
• What to do when the life you built falls apart
• How hardship can reawaken your inner power
• The power of simplicity, mobility, and designing a life that truly fits
• Why sometimes the detour is the real dream

Adele’s story is a reminder that rock bottom can be a building site—and that reinvention is always possible, especially when you choose the road less paved.

What happens when a man hits rock bottom, loses everything, and still finds the strength to rise again?

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Chad sits down with Royce Hall—a man who went from living in his car and battling addiction, to spending over a decade in prison… and somehow came out with more purpose, passion, and peace than ever before.

Have you ever had those moments where you just need to disappear for a little while? Maybe it’s a long drive with no destination, sitting in your car outside the house before going in, or locking yourself in the bathroom just to breathe. We all have these hidden moments—times when we retreat into our thoughts, trying to sort through the chaos of life, asking ourselves the big questions, or just escaping from the noise of the world for a little while.

In this episode of Life Again, we’re talking about those secret moments we rarely admit to—those times when we feel the weight of life pressing in and just need to be alone to process, to question, to hope, or sometimes to just exist. I’ll share some personal stories of my own “hiding out” moments, from sitting in a grocery store parking lot pretending to be on an important phone call just so I could avoid going inside, to staring at the ceiling at 2 AM wondering if I’m on the right path.

We’ll dive into why we retreat, what these moments mean, and how they can be both a refuge and a trap. Are we using these moments to reset and reflect, or are we avoiding the hard things we know we need to face? Are these secret moments a sign of strength or struggle?

With a mix of honesty, humor, and raw reflection, we’ll explore:

• The science behind why we seek solitude in stressful times.
• The difference between healthy reflection and unhealthy avoidance.
• The unexpected power of being alone—but not lonely.
• How to turn these moments into fuel for personal growth instead of getting stuck in them.

If you’ve ever found yourself hiding out—mentally, emotionally, or even physically—this episode is for you. Because at the end of the day, we all have those moments. The question is: what do we do with them?

🎧 Tune in and let’s talk about it. Because real life isn’t just about the big moments—it’s about the quiet, hidden ones too.

Depression doesn’t always look like what we think it does. It’s not always about breaking down in tears or staying in bed for days. Sometimes it’s the quiet numbness, the chronic exhaustion, the short temper, or the lack of excitement for anything. It’s the ability to smile on the outside while feeling completely hollow on the inside. In this deeply honest and relatable episode of Life Again, host Chad Muncy pulls back the curtain on the hidden layers of depression that so many people silently struggle with—especially in midlife.

Chad shares personal stories and observations about how depression disguises itself as “just being tired,” how it’s often covered up with humor or overworking, and how easy it is to go unnoticed by those around us—including ourselves. More importantly, this episode breaks down practical, simple steps to begin recognizing these layers and taking control of your mental and emotional health.

You’ll learn:
 ✅ The 4 hidden layers of depression most men experience but rarely talk about
 ✅ How “high-functioning” depression masks itself behind productivity and responsibility
 ✅ The toxic role of distractions (social media, alcohol, overworking) in keeping us stuck
 ✅ Why strength isn’t about pushing through—it’s about facing what’s really going on
 ✅ Daily action steps to reconnect with your purpose and start lifting the weight

Whether you’ve silently struggled for years or you’re just beginning to realize something feels “off,” this episode is a raw, real, and hopeful guide to confronting the silent monster head-on.

👉 Listen now and start peeling back the layers so you can live fully, freely, and with purpose—because life isn’t over… it’s just beginning again.
