Release Doubt, Reveal Purpose

What if the feeling of being “broken” is actually a map back to yourself? 

We sit down with Cristiano Colla to trace a raw, human journey from loneliness and post-breakup spirals to a 12-day ayahuasca retreat in the Peruvian jungle—and, more importantly, the quiet months of integration that followed. The result isn’t a tidy cure; it’s a grounded way of living where pain is acknowledged, the body leads, and purpose unfolds without force.

 He describes shifting from mental analysis to somatic healing, recognizing that “brokenness” was a set of fragmented parts asking to be seen. We explore how inner child work—meeting the boy on the lower bunk with tenderness—softens old defenses and restores joy. 

On my side, I share how prayer, scripture, and dreams guided forgiveness and humility in concrete ways—making amends where my heart was stuck and releasing records of wrongs. 

Together we unpack a deceptively simple practice that anchors surrender: daily reflection on death. 

If you’re curious about the different modalities of healing your trauma, this conversation offers practical steps and honest reflection. Subscribe, share this episode with a friend who needs it, and leave a review to tell us: what practice brings you back to center?

The applause was loud, the flights were first class, and the ladder kept climbing—until Angie realized she couldn’t hear her own soul anymore. 

What follows is a candid, faith-infused journey from top-performing medical device sales rep to global traveler to founder of Sacred Rebellion, a free community teaching the 12 principles of peaceful revolution. It invites people from all backgrounds to learn principles modeled by Jesus, Gandhi, MLK, and Gloria Steinem, then apply them through micro actions that support foster youth, ocean cleanup, and more. It’s hope with a plan: bridge-building language, nuance over binaries, and a vision of change held with unwavering faith.

We talk about what it really takes to quit when your identity is built on quotas and validation, why surrender isn’t a one-time grand gesture but a daily practice, and how true impact begins with an open heart.

If you’ve felt the whisper to do something braver with your life, this conversation offers both the courage and the compass. Subscribe, share this with someone wrestling with their next step, and leave a review to help others find the show. Your story might be the bridge someone else needs today.

Fear can feel like a full-time job when life collapses at once—divorce, layoffs, a financial crash, and the gnawing question of who you are without your old identity. 

We sit down with relationship coach and author Jonathon Aslay to explore how he climbed out of that chaos, traded numbing habits for healing practices, and found purpose he couldn’t have imagined at the start. His story is raw and practical, full of real tools and honest detours that make growth feel possible, not performative.

The conversation turns deeply personal as Jonathan reflects on the sudden passing of his 19-year-old son and the choice to grieve with love rather than sink into suffering. We discuss self-love as a living practice—self-worth, self-esteem, self-reliance—and how to care for the inner six-year-old that still drives our reactions. 

Cultural scripts and inner critics get a reality check, including a simple forgiveness ritual (the Hawaiian prayer) that calms the nervous system. By the end, you’ll have a handful of grounded practices and a fresh respect for the small, daily choices that rebuild identity and purpose from the inside out.

If this resonated, follow the show, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help others find these tools. Tell us: which practice will you try first—breath, journaling, or forgiveness?

What if the life you built isn’t the life that fits you anymore? We sit down with children’s author Ron Kinscherf, who walked away from decades in corporate IT and found unexpected joy crafting stories for kids—sparked by a grandson, an anthill, and a simple what if. 

His journey blends creativity, faith, and a quiet courage to follow what feels true, even when the path looks nothing like your résumé.

Ron shares how a single observation turned into an entire ant colony with a wise queen and a curious prince, mirroring the communities we live in and the emotions we navigate. We talk about ego versus soul, the pressure to chase traditional success, and the relief that comes from aligning work with calling. 

He opens up about losing his father young, realizing how grief shaped his storytelling, and discovering that the calm, steady queen on the page was a reflection of the mother who led his family. For aspiring authors and creatives, he offers practical insights: gather ideas from everyday life, write to a child’s curiosity, and let the lesson emerge naturally instead of forcing it.

A heartbeat in the 20s. Three warnings ignored. And then the flatline that changed everything. 

Rob Rene joins us to unpack how a stubborn refusal to get a pacemaker turned into an operating-table collapse, a literal restart, and a powerful reset of values, priorities, and purpose. What emerges is bigger than a medical story—it’s a guide to aligning health, faith, and daily choices when life forces you to choose what truly matters.

We dive into Rob’s first near-death experience as an elite runner hit by a truck, the identity crash that followed, and the years of chasing success to fill a void. The pandemic halted that treadmill and opened a deeper search for truth: questioning healthcare incentives, developing a research mindset, and returning to fundamentals like nutrition, sleep, movement, and community. 

Rob shares why balance beats extremes—how modern medicine can save a life while holistic habits sustain it—and how Scripture moved from a ritual to a relationship that steadies the mind and energizes the body.

What if the life you’ve been building was shaped by old survival rules that no longer fit? 

We sit down with transformational guide Alicia to unpack how early conditioning, fear-based religion, and cultural pressure nudge women into people-pleasing, chronic overgiving, and burnout—and how to trade that fatigue for embodied leadership rooted in faith, truth, and nervous system safety.

Alicia shares her journey from strict religious upbringing to rebellion, divorce, and the relentless hustle that never delivered peace. She explains why many high achievers feel empty despite outward success: unresolved inner-child wounds drive self-sabotage in money, status, and relationships because worth has been tied to approval. 

We explore practical healing tools—inner child work, breathwork, meditation, and reparenting your nervous system—so your body can feel safe without overfunctioning. As safety grows, honest inventory becomes possible: which beliefs formed you, which still serve, and which need to end.

If you’re ready to stop earning your worth and start living from it, this conversation will meet you where you are and hand you the tools to move forward. Subscribe, share this with a friend who overgives, and leave a review to tell us the belief you’re ready to rewrite. Your purpose isn’t missing—it’s waiting beneath the noise.

What if caring for an aging parent didn’t mean losing yourself in the process? 

We sit down with author and caregiver advocate Barbara Stratte to map the messy, human, and hopeful path through the sandwich generation—where kids, careers, and parents all need you at once. From downsizing a lifetime of belongings to deciding between a retirement home and moving Mom in, Barbara shares the trade-offs, the timelines, and the truths most families learn too late.

We go deep on Alzheimer’s realities, including what sundowning looks like and how to plan the day around the bright window when energy and conversation flow. Barbara explains why small rituals—weekly flowers, a slow Target stroll, or soup at Panera—often beat grand plans, and how a companion can unlock movement, sunlight, and dignity without the cost of nursing care. 

Expect frank talk about anticipatory grief, choosing where your attention goes, and why joy isn’t optional—it’s the counterweight to loss. If you’re caring for parents, raising kids, or bracing for what’s next, this conversation offers clarity, comfort, and concrete steps you can use today.

Hurt can harden us—or it can teach us how to heal. 

We sit down with David McKee to explore how a childhood marked by a parent’s mental health struggles spiraled into years of anxiety, avoidance, and creative silence, and how learning the basics of neuroscience, neuroplasticity, and behavior change opened a kinder, more sustainable path forward. 

David shares the turning point that brought him back to music after his mother’s passing and the practices that helped him find peace: therapy, structured grief, meditation built in small steps, and compassionate self-talk that primes the brain for better days.

We dive into the mechanics of change for ADHD minds, from using novelty intentionally to building tiny habits that stick. David unpacks the reticular activating system in plain language and shows how evening and morning self-priming can rewrite the “I’m always tired” script into a different reality.

What if the stories you’ve tried to bury are the very compass that leads you to purpose? 

We sit down with Lisa, a survivor-turned-podcast host and workshop leader, to trace a raw, hope-filled arc from childhood abuse and family secrecy to voice, service, and durable joy. She shares how early messages and unstable dynamics hardwired survival mode, why talk therapy wasn’t enough, and how trauma-informed modalities like EMDR helped decouple past pain from present triggers.

Together, we unpack the mechanics of healing: noticing when your body surges from calm to chaos, inserting a pause before words cause damage, and replacing self-criticism with simple, repeatable language shifts. Lisa describes the difficult surrender from control to trust, and how that single move created room for boundaries, rest, and compassionate clarity about her parents’ unhealed trauma.

A wall of water stole a business, a mini-stroke threatened language itself, and somehow the path forward got clearer, not smaller. We sit down with journalist-turned-coach Tanya Targett-Camacho to trace how disaster stripped away pretense and revealed a calling: help women own their stories on video, without apology or imitation.

Tanya shares the harrowing weeks after an inland tsunami erased her warehouse and income, and the moment six months later when pins and needles, slurred speech, and dread marked a mini-stroke. 

From relearning simple tasks to rebuilding confidence, she found herself drawn back to her first love—storytelling—and the media skills that once put her on national TV. Only this time, the spotlight isn’t the point. Service is. 

She breaks down a simple framework that turns any lived moment into a short, potent video: the specific moment, the lesson it taught, and one practical tip. We talk imposter syndrome, the pressure to shrink on camera, and what changes when you grant yourself permission to stand tall. When you do, you grant others permission, too.
