Welcome back to When It Shifted. Today’s conversation is one that hits deep — a raw, heart-opening journey of surrender, healing, and rediscovering purpose.

I sit down with Diego, who opens up about his path from living in scarcity and survival mode to finding deep peace through service, surrender, and trust. He shares the pivotal moments that forced him to slow down, question everything, and finally let go of the illusion of control.

Together, we explore what it truly means to live from the soul instead of the ego — to move from doing to being, from chasing to receiving. Diego’s story reminds us that the most profound transformations often come when life strips us of everything we thought we needed, only to show us what we already are.

If you’ve ever found yourself clinging to old identities, fearing the unknown, or feeling like you have to earn your worth, this episode will meet you right where you are.

In this episode of When It Shifted, I’m sharing something I’ve been reflecting on and talking with others about: why we stay stuck and what actually helps us move forward. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like they knew what they should be doing but still couldn’t do it.

I dive into the ways stuckness shows up in our lives—sometimes loud and heavy, sometimes as a low hum of frustration even when we’re “checking the boxes.” I explore the three big reasons we get stuck: familiarity, narratives, and exhaustion. I also share what actually creates a shift, whether it’s an external life event or an internal quiet realization. This episode is a reminder that your shift doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s—it just has to be yours.

Welcome back to When It Shifted. Today, I’m honored to bring you the extraordinary story of David Chalk, an entrepreneur, tech visionary, and advocate who, despite leading multiple companies and hosting TV shows, couldn’t read for most of his life.

At age 62, David finally learned to read, unlocking a new chapter in his life and career. In our conversation, he shares what it was like navigating the world without literacy, the deep shame and trauma he faced, and how overcoming those challenges reshaped his purpose. David’s journey is a testament to the power of self-belief, support, and perseverance. Showing us that it’s never too late to change or rewrite our story.

If you’ve ever felt like an outsider, been told “you can’t,” or wondered if transformation is possible for you, this episode offers hope and inspiration. David also shares how we can support children struggling with trauma and shame, so they can believe in themselves and thrive.
