<p>In this captivating episode of our podcast, we unravel the extraordinary journey of Gaby, a 57-year-old Singer/Songwriter and Youth Education Director. Born in Santa Monica, CA, and now residing in Asheville, NC, Gaby's life story weaves together a tapestry of loss, resilience, and the power of rediscovering one's passion.</p>
<p>Gaby's upbringing in the entertainment industry, with a mother who was a Playboy Centerfold, actress, and model, and stepfathers who had their own prominent roles, set the stage for a life filled with captivating tales. However, in 2004, a series of losses shattered Gaby's dream of becoming a singer, silencing her voice for 17 years.</p>
<p>The turning point arrived during the COVID quarantine when Gaby found herself with an unexpected opportunity&mdash;a chance to rekindle her love for singing. Overcoming the obstacles that held her back, she taught herself how to record music on her computer, despite not playing any instruments. This newfound resilience led to a powerful moment of creation: Gaby's most special song, a heartfelt tribute to her long-standing acquaintance, Dolly Parton.</p>
<p>Gaby's unique ability to find humor and meaning in even the darkest of times sets her apart. She shares how her journey back to singing and songwriting became a testament to her strength and determination. Through her story, Gaby highlights the transformative power of art and the healing potential it holds for both creator and audience.</p>
<p>One of the remarkable aspects of Gaby's narrative is her enduring relationship with Dolly Parton. Having forged a connection at the age of 13, Gaby cherishes their bond, and her experiences with Dolly have had a profound impact on her life. This connection serves as a source of inspiration and a reminder that dreams can be pursued at any age.&nbsp;<button class="flex ml-auto gap-2 rounded-md p-1 hover:bg-gray-100 hover:text-gray-700 dark:text-gray-400 dark:hover:bg-gray-700 dark:hover:text-gray-200 disabled:dark:hover:text-gray-400"></button></p>

Born in Jerseyville, IL, and now residing in Fort Worth, Texas, Tyler's experiences and beliefs shape a unique perspective on life and the interconnectedness of humanity.</p>
<p>Tyler's story is a powerful affirmation of individuality and the significance of lived experiences. They emphasize that no two people live the same life, making their own journey inherently unique. As a gender queer individual, Tyler has faced their own challenges in self-acceptance, ultimately embracing their identity and finding strength in authenticity.</p>
<p>Tyler's life takes a remarkable turn when they share a life-changing act of generosity: donating life-saving stem cells as a registered 'Be The Match' donor. They recount how this selfless act led to an unexpected bond with the recipient, Mike, whose genetic compatibility surpassed that of his closest sister. This astonishing connection highlights the inherent commonalities we share as humans, transcending boundaries and emphasizing the depth of our interconnectedness.</p>
<p>But Tyler's life hasn't been without struggles. They bravely open up about navigating their parents' crystal meth addiction, an experience that deeply impacted their own life, relationships, and personal growth. The challenges faced during this time tested Tyler's resilience and fueled their determination to overcome adversity, ultimately shaping their path as an Empowerment Coach.</p>
<p>Tyler's journey is also tied to a poignant personal loss. When their grandfather passed away from leukemia during their 8th grade, Tyler knew they wanted to honor his legacy. Instead of getting a tattoo at 18, they made the powerful decision to register as a 'Be The Match' donor. The subsequent discovery of a near-perfect match in Mike brought a profound sense of connection, reaffirming Tyler's belief that we often have more in common with strangers than we realize.</p>
<p>Throughout their story, Tyler's experiences demonstrate the indomitable spirit of resilience, compassion, and the transformative power of human connection. Their journey encourages listeners to reflect on their own lives, cultivating empathy and understanding for the challenges faced by others. In a world that often emphasizes differences, Tyler's remarkable narrative serves as a poignant reminder of our shared humanity and the beauty that can emerge from acts of selflessness and love.</p>
<p>Join us on this deeply emotional episode as we bear witness to Tyler's journey&mdash;a testament to the triumph of the human spirit and the unbreakable bonds that tie us all together.</p>

Sadly, being different from the masses often forces you to grow a thicker skin, to learn to endure bullying, ridicule, and the constant mocking of those believing that their conformity with society's standards gives them the permission to hurt others.</p>
<p>It took Vicky a very long time to accept herself for who she truly is and to see her facial differences, her uniqueness, and her own beauty as something she could actually love and share with the world. Silence may encourage bullies. It most certainly does not get them to stop. However, using your voice and sharing your truth can break silence, spark conversation, and teach bullies to do better.</p>
<p>Vickie has become a very outspoken advocate for people with facial differences. Her story matters because it breaks down our world's irrational beauty "standards". Nobody in this world is "normal". Nobody is "perfect". Accepting that fundamental truth allows you to view others, their appearance, their lives, and their stories with genuine kindness and respect.</p>
<p>Listen to Vickie's powerful story about people being so much more than what meets the eye.</p>

When horror movies become refuge from abuse for a 5 year old boy.]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Charlie experienced a rough childhood, one that was lined with physical abuse, neglect, and a general lack of love and affection. Instead of teddy bears, lego sets, and the warmth of family, Charlie ended up finding refuge in the most unlikely of places: in violent horror movies, a genre he began to explore at the age of five.</p>
<p>Charlie will tell us how he picked up the shards of his broken childhood to build something gruesome, yet beautiful that still affects a big chunk of his life to this day. But horror movies are not his only passion. Charlie wants to touch lives and change the world from the depths of chartered and unchartered waters. As a documentary filmmaker, he focuses on ocean life and hopes to leave his own footprint in a world that has always been a bit darker than it should have been.</p>
<p>On top of everything else, Charlie will also tell us about his adult ADHD diagnosis and how it has affected the way he lives.</p>
<p>Listen to Charlie's captivating story about igniting a light inside of you that is powerful enough to lead you away from your own inner darkness.</p>

Just an altogether wonderful person. That's who Baylen is TODAY.</p>
<p>What you may not see is what it took for him to get to the state of peace and self reflection he is now in. Baylen is in recovery from a heroin addiction that almost cost him his life - not once but three times.</p>
<p>While his three overdoses were painful and scary experiences, what actually lead to him turning his life around was the time he had to spend in solitary confinement during one of his prison sentences. Being alone and forced to face yourself was rough but it was also where he discovered the beauty and power of creating instead of destroying. Baylen started to draw and his art quickly became a lighthouse for him, navigating him away from the lift of drugs, crime, and self destruction he thought he had been condemned to live.</p>
<p>Baylen's story is as painful as it is powerful. It's a story about discovering inner peace in the most unlikely places.</p>

How to finally arrive at home within. ]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Do you know where you belong and where you are at home? This sounds like such a simple question but for my guest, Jenny, the search for a place to consider home was a painful journey. Born in Indonesia to a family of Chinese immigrants, Jenny always felt ostracized and far from a place of true belonging. Indonesia's culture had very little space for 'people like her' and in her own family, harsh requirements for her to perform and achieve left no room for the love and acceptance Jenny so desperately desired.</p>
<p>Being alone and isolated throughout her childhood, Jenny found her personal sanctuary in a local library and in the stories of others. The impossible suddenly didn't seem so unattainable anymore and the inspiration within the books she read eventually became a roadmap to her own happiness.</p>
<p>Jenny will tell us how she built her own path to walk and dance on, in order to finally realize that home, belonging, and happiness had been within her all along.</p>

Not only has she managed to survive bulimia, severe childhood trauma, depression, and Lyme disease, she also successfully completed two Ironman competitions and was able to completely redefine herself in order to finally give herself permission to be loved.</p>
<p>Growing up in the Netherlands, Jetty felt invisible throughout her entire childhood and adolesence in what she describes as a cold home. To find warmth and comfort, she turned to food and ended up developing an eating disorder. But Jetty had much more than bulimia to overcome. Her eating disorder was a mere result of a lifelong lack of self confidence and self love.

Scarlett's struggle with anorexia and the binge-purge eating disorder called bulimia almost cost her her life. After early weight struggles, and a feeling of complete isolation, the eating disorder caused her to starve herself from 20 stone (280 lbs) to under 5 stone (under 70 lbs), walking only inches away from death.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Despite her body being broken, her teeth destroyed, and her self worth shattered, Scarlett did not give up.&nbsp;</p>
<p>After she finally managed to recover - not for her own sake but for the sake of her 7 kids and her loving husband - Scarlett was finally able to discover what true self love and happiness can look and feel like. She even used the newfound love for her own body to become a mature lingerie model for a short amount of time and learning that the judgements others may hold over her body could no longer touch or affect her.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Today, Scarlett dedicates her life to helping others as they battle their own eating disorders.</p>
<p>Listen to this captivating story about de-shaming people suffering from eating disorders.</p>

Today, we want to share the inspiring story of a man who faced his demons and came out victorious. Meet Dallas, a 46-year-old recovery coach who was born in West Virginia and now resides in Charlotte, North Carolina.</p>
<p>Dallas has two children: Liliana and Jonah, who were his biggest source of inspiration to finally turn his life around after he truly hit rock bottom. For most of his life, Dallas struggled with self-acceptance and self-worth because of his sexuality and a general lack of belonging. The feeling of not being wanted and accepted led him down a dark path, and at the age of 39 and at the peak of his carreer, he became addicted to crystal meth.</p>
<p>To support his addiction, Dallas stole and even became a prostitute. His addiction led him to lose everything he held dear - his home, his job, and most importantly, his children. He found himself in jail several times for various drug-related offenses. Attempts to recover from his addiction were followed by brutal relapses.</p>
<p>But Dallas didn't give up. He knew that he needed to turn his life around to be there for his children and to finally allow himself to be there for HIMSELF. He found the strength within to get clean and put his life back together. It wasn't easy, but with the love and support of his children, he persevered.</p>
<p>Today, Dallas is a recovery coach, helping others who are struggling with addiction. The story of Dallas' own resurrection is a true inspiration to all of us. It shows us that no matter how far down we've fallen, we can always get back up and start anew.</p>
<p>Trigger Warning: This episode contains conversations about drug addiction, drug use, mental illness, prostitution, sucidal ideation, depression, HIV/aids, as well as self doubt, and homophobia. If any of these subjects are a trigger to you, please prioritize your mental health and skip this episode.</p>

How does a parent handle the loss of their child? How do we all deal with grief and the unbearable burden it tends to show up as?</p>
<p>Whether we admit it or not, we will all be touched by grief and loss at some point in our lives. What is it like to continue to live when a part of you is irrevocably taken from you?</p>
<p>Suzanne has not only learned to live with the loss of her son, she has also managed to utilize this awful experience to now help and give comfort to others. In her work as a grief educator, Suzanne has made it her mission to normalize grief so those facing loss no longer feel completely isolated and alone.</p>

Although born in Cape Town, South Africa, she decided that the world really was her oyster as she first moved to Singapore and later to Germany. She greatly credits the German healthcare system for her survival. She suffered from hereditary polycystic kidney disease and desperately needed a new kidney. After all, she had already lost 3 of her brothers to this debilitating disease. Years of waiting while being on dialysis finally paid off and she received a kidney from a German woman. The name Narriman means "vivacious" in the Persian language, a word that beautifully encapsulates this woman's journey and fight for survival.</p>
<p>Listen to this remarkable story about second chances and the preciousness of life.</p>

How does somebody who is a youth pastor and whose entire identity is rooted in faith, church, and the Bible wake up one day as a non-believing atheist? What impact does that have on the rest of his family as they continue their spiritual journey as Christians without Dustin sharing that belief? What is his life like in the Bible belt of South Carolina now that he no longer belongs to the large majority group of Christians living here?</p>
<p>No matter where you personally stand or what you believe in, I think we can all agree that opening up about something as deeply personal as the loss of faith takes great courage. Remember to always be kind.</p>
