If you are finding yourself in the middle of a difficult season in your life, and need hope and inspiration for all that you are encountering, today’s episode is for you.

My guest, Cam Ayala, is here to share his story of perseverance, faith, and redemption to encourage others to choose courage over comfort and discover purpose in every season of life.

His life has been shaped by overcoming lifelong lymphedema, chronic health challenges, and a right above-knee amputation.

Cam believes that our greatest setbacks can become our greatest platforms for impact.

Rather than seeing the impossibility of it all, Cam saw the possibility of what God would do with his life and found the higher vision for his life.

Cam is a patient advocate, medical device specialist, motivational speaker, and man of faith.

While best known to many from reality television, Cam has transformed his personal journey into a mission of inspiring hope, resilience, and purpose while helping improve the lives of veterans and patients across the country through innovative healthcare solutions.

Cam also trained to be an endurance athlete so he can raise awareness and funds for prosthetics, and is an active leader in prison ministry.

My guest, Zander Sprague’s life was forever changed by a devastating personal tragedy: the murder of his sister.

Rather than allowing that experience to define him, Zander eventually transformed his pain into purpose, dedicating his life to helping others move through adversity and create meaningful change.

As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), best-selling author, and host of TV and podcast programs through EPIC Choice Media, Zander combines personal experience with professional insight.

Zander is the author of three books:

These words describe my next guest.

• Love discovered through failure.
• Strength redefined through vulnerability.
• Legacy built by choosing who you become after the fall.

Aaron Crippen is a professional stuntman, stunt coordinator, military veteran, entrepreneur, and author of Love at First Fall.

After spending decades in high-risk environments and surviving more than 70 near-death experiences, Aaron discovered that life’s greatest lessons are not found in the fall itself, but in the courage to rise afterward.

Everything changed the day his first son, Colt, was born nearly three months early, weighing just three pounds.

Standing beside his NICU bed, I realized that none of my training, accomplishments, or near-death experiences had prepared me for feeling completely powerless.

This moment changed how I measured success.

I stopped chasing the next achievement and started asking what kind of father my boys needed me to become.

This transition led me to write Love at First Fall, not for the public, but for my sons, so they would have a roadmap for navigating life’s hardest moments.

Today, Aaron shares powerful insights on resilience, purpose, fatherhood, and embracing life's transitions, inspiring others to see adversity not as the end of their story, but the beginning of a new chapter.

Unexpected Career Transitions can blindside us, but also become teachers for us in the next chapter.

A Wharton MBA with nearly 30 years of leadership experience across Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca, and Medtronic, she has led businesses, built high-performing teams, and driven growth across India and Asia Pacific.

But her most transformative leadership lesson didn't come from the boardroom.

After an unexpected career transition, Ruchika found herself facing a question many successful professionals secretly fear.

Who am I when the title disappears?

That experience became the catalyst for a new chapter. Today, she helps senior professionals navigate:

• Career Transitions
• Identity Shifts
• Confidence Crises
• Reinvention 

She has also created the Reinvention Playbook that she uses for corporations and individuals as they process this new season.

This episode is about our childhood wounds.

If not recognized, and find their place to heal, they will have the power to impact our adult lives in an incredibly negative way.

My guest, Hilary Momberger Powers, shares about her wounds that started in Hollywood and compounded with her family dynamics at home.

At the age of 5, she landed her first audition as Sally Brown in the Peanuts Cartoon.

She was fortunate to work non-stop until her early teens, but then she was introduced to drugs and alcohol, and her life began to fall apart.

Unfortunately, her childhood trauma wounds continued to drive her addiction and all of her decisions from that point on.

Her journey—from fame to fall to flourish—isn’t just a story; it’s the foundation of her work.

Hilary specializes in trauma-informed coaching, supporting individuals—especially women—in turning pain into purpose. She helps clients heal from past wounds, shift their mindset, and step into a more confident, self-led life.

Hilary has over 40 years of life and professional experience working as a Transformational Mentor, Trauma Coach, Motivational Speaker, as well as a dynamic Keynote Presenter committed to helping people rebuild, rise, and truly flourish.

Hilary would love for you to connect!
