    Nov 1 2025

    Rebecca Wilson is an award-winning executive coach, speaker and mindfulness teacher. Recognized for her expertise in Conscious Leadership, Rebecca helps high-performing Executives, Founders and Change-makers quiet their busy minds, cultivate inner steadiness and expand their impact from the inside-out.

Her path of inner development led her to experience the profound effects of mindfulness. She subsequently trained as a certified coach, meditation and yoga teacher.

    Along this journey, Rebecca continued to thrive professionally, moving into senior positions in the management consulting and healthcare sectors. As she observed changes within herself and her clients, the transformative impact of inner development work on leadership effectiveness became increasingly evident.

    Before We Forget: The Guide to Personal and Collective Awakening

    Modern life numbs us into a trance. We perform, consume, and repeat blindly while drifting further from the natural rhythms that sustain us. Behind it all, dominant institutions, economic systems, and cultural myths dictate what we value and how we live, leaving us disoriented and disconnected from the truth of who we are. Before We Forget is a wake-up call. With insight and urgency, Aaron reveals the illusions that distort our perception and keep us asleep, while offering a path back to alignment, integrity, and presence. This book is an invitation to remember that we are all part of something sacred, and that our future depends on embodying this connection in our daily lives.

    Hello, I'm Gretchen Schoser, and my journey weaves together vulnerability, resilience, and empowerment, offering a unique narrative that resonates with anyone facing life's inevitable challenges. As a suicide attempt survivor and a dedicated advocate for the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, I bring a deeply personal perspective to discussions about mental health, resilience, and recovery.

The company focuses on creating solutions that uplift and empower individuals and communities. This blend of tech-savvy and real-world experience positions me to offer valuable insights into overcoming adversity, leveraging technology for wellness, and the importance of resilience in personal and professional growth.


    When I join your podcast, I aim to give your audience more than just my story. I bring practical tips for navigating life’s ups and downs, insights into the intersection of technology and mental health, and an inspiring example of starting anew at any age. Listeners will leave our conversation with actionable advice and renewed hope, equipped to face their challenges with a stronger sense of possibility and support.


    Let's connect and explore how my experiences can inspire and empower your audience, fostering a community of resilience and growth.

  • Abstract Essay, now in its fifth season, features Ray Ray Star—rock guitarist, producer, and entertainer—as my guest.
    Oct 29 2025

    Ray Ray Star

    Rock Guitarist, Producer & Entertainer | 16 Years Sober | Advocate for Authenticity, Recovery & Real Music

    My name is Ray Ray Star, and my story is about falling all the way down — and then rising back up stronger than ever. For years I lived the classic rock & roll life: I was a touring guitarist, sharing stages with bands like Green Day, Face to Face, and Circle Jerks. From the outside, it looked like I had everything. But behind the curtain, addiction was slowly consuming me.


    Sixteen years ago, I hit bottom and made the decision to get clean and sober. That choice changed everything. Sobriety didn’t just save my life — it gave me a new one. Today, I mentor and inspire others on their recovery journeys, showing them that no matter how far you’ve fallen, you can rise again. My story resonates with people who feel stuck, hopeless, or afraid they’ve missed their shot — because I’ve been there, and I know the way forward.


    But there’s another side of me that surprises people: I’ve also spent years working as a psychic — reading for celebrities, artists, and everyday people searching for clarity. That gift allows me to connect with people on a soul level, helping them uncover truth, purpose, and direction. Blending that insight with my music and recovery journey creates a conversation that’s both deeply human and deeply inspiring.
