    144. Reclaiming Your Power After Trauma | Interview with Amy Pease
    May 8 2025

    In this episode, I chat with the amazing Amy Pease—a coach, speaker, and survivor who broke free from years of manipulation and emotional abuse.

    Amy shares her powerful story of walking away from a toxic family, raising her son with autism on her own, and slowly rebuilding her life from the ground up. Her healing journey is honest, brave, and full of hard-won wisdom.

    We talk about what manipulation really looks like, how to break free from abusive relationships, and how to help loved ones in your life who might be living in that situation.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck, small, or unsure of your worth—this one’s for you.

    143. Life Radically Changed | Matt Potratz
    Apr 30 2025

    Matt Potratz was a pro snowmobiler when he got caught in an avalanche that should’ve killed him. It didn’t—but it left him with a broken neck, brain trauma, and a life forever changed.

    In this conversation, Matt shares what happened that day, the long road to recovery, and the lessons he learned about pain, purpose, and resilience. We talk about what it really takes to survive life’s darkest moments, the power of community, focusing on what you can change, and how to keep going when life feels impossible.
