Years later, after building a successful social impact company, he unexpectedly lost everything and was forced to confront the same question so many high performers face: Who am I if I can no longer save everyone else?Together, Kim and Stephen explore the relationship between nervous system healing, emotional resilience, therapy, self-awareness, and the daily habits that create lasting mental wellness. They also discuss why healing isn't a quick fix, how humor can become a powerful tool for connection, and why sustainable success requires taking care of yourself before taking care of everyone else.Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, leader, or someone navigating loss, burnout, or personal transformation, this episode is a powerful reminder that healing isn't about perfection. It's about continuing to show up, one day at a time.The Work of Warriors is the podcast where artists, creatives, entrepreneurs, and high performers learn how to succeed without sacrificing their mental wellness.Because success shouldn't cost you your peace.
