This podcast doesn’t just tell stories—it drops you into the soul of someone else’s turning point. The “lost in an Arctic blizzard” episode was haunting and unforgettable. As an author who writes about walking away from the life I thought I wanted, this story reminded me that growth and clarity often come when we are most disoriented. Thank you for this raw and powerful work.
this episode is very very good. it's someone getting off drugs and going through something hard to imagine and she tells it very well

Bonus content is not a regular episode. I’m annoyed that you guys didn’t release a regular episode. I don’t care about a conversation I want to hear from real ppl and their stories. I hate when I’m looking forward to an episode and it’s a something completely different from the regular format.
This show is for anyone and everyone. We are all human and life is a messy experience. This show is always a comfort and an inspiration to me. I’m an ER nurse and I see trauma everyday, emotional and physical. I love learning about what makes people resilient through challenges and trauma.
