What happens when the person you love most also reflects back the truths you didn’t know you were ready to see?

In this deeply personal episode of SPARK Sessions, I sit down with my husband, Dan — the person who has walked beside me through every season of life. Together, we share the laughter, love, and real talk that comes from two decades of building a life and navigating big transformations side by side.

From the day he recognized a new energy in me after my first acting class, to the years of creative risk-taking, self-discovery, and bringing SPARK: the experience to life, Dan offers his perspective on what it’s like to witness someone you love step into their fullest expression.
