The Spark That Started It All | Embers & Echoes Mini-Series Part 1

What sparks a podcast into life? For me, it wasn’t a polished plan — it was change. After loss, divorce, brain surgery, and learning to smile again, I wanted to listen, to hold space, and to tell stories that were felt, not just told. In this first episode of Embers & Echoes — a three-part mini-series to close out Season 1 of Change Happened, Then What? — I rewind to the very beginning: how this podcast was born, the 13 friends who trusted me with their stories, and the unexpected ways Season 1 unfolded. You’ll hear about Jeannie’s grief and spiritual resilience, Tim & Candy’s humor through chaos, Natalie’s courage to heal her brain, Jen’s unfiltered honesty, Julie’s story of adoption and chosen family — and so much more. These weren’t just interviews. They were blueprints of human truth. Along the way, I share what I’ve learned about storytelling, silence, connection, and community. And how, with your messages and support, this podcast became more than just mine — it became ours. Season 2 launches October 14th with new stories, new friendships, and new beginnings. But first, let’s return to the spark that started it all.
