By sharing stories of courage and victory, from grand successes to the subtle wins we often overlook in our daily lives, we strive to help you feel honoured, celebrated, and loved by connecting you to the victories in your own life. Our diverse guests include athletes, artists, activists, and everyday heroes who have faced hardships but emerged stronger, wiser, and triumphant. I’ll also discuss resources that inspire me and share ideas that affirm my sense of purpose. Each episode is a testament to the human spirit’s capacity for resilience and the power of determination.
