Recovery expert, TEDx speaker, and professor Jo Weatherford joins Daryl for a deeply honest conversation about addiction, gratitude, and learning to trust yourself.

After years of alcoholism, codependency, and believing she was beyond saving, a life changing trip to Thailand led her to a simple but profound realization.

The future isn't created by how you feel today. It's created by the person you choose to become every time you show up.

What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't your circumstances, but the story you're telling yourself about them?

When entrepreneur, author, and speaker Jon Bassford found himself facing financial uncertainty and the possibility of bankruptcy, he realized the fear consuming him wasn't rooted in reality.

In this powerful conversation, Jon shares how mindfulness, curiosity, and self-awareness helped him break free from limiting beliefs and transform the way he shows up in life, work, and relationships.

Together, they discuss:
• Why the promises you break to yourself quietly shape your future

If you've ever felt stuck, uncertain, or called toward something bigger, this conversation is a reminder that growth begins the moment you decide to show up for yourself. Walk the way, and the way will appear.
