This isn’t the episode I thought I’d be releasing after a long break. It comes in the wake of tragedy, the shooting of Charlie Kirk, and the heaviness of a world that feels fractured.

Instead of rushing back into business as usual, I wanted to pause and reflect on what remains true: that even in the face of violence and loss, there is a goodness that deserves to win. This episode is an offering of honesty, grief, and hope... a reminder that light still breaks through, that compassion still matters, and that we each have a part to play in letting goodness rise.

If you’ve been searching for a space to breathe, to remember, and to believe in something bigger than despair, this conversation is for you.
