A breast cancer diagnosis can feel like the end of the story, but sometimes it is the interruption that saves your life. I sit down with Jenny C. Cohen, an award-winning dancer and author, to talk about what happened when her career was taking off and everything suddenly stopped. Her path moves through chemo, fear, grief, and a hard reckoning with control, then lands in something quieter and stronger: presence, surr...
Getting fired at 63 can feel like the end of the road. For David Nassief, it was the moment the road finally became clear. We talk through the shock of being let go after 18 years, the gut-level fear of doing the math and realizing “we could be broke by 65,” and the hardest part of all: driving home and figuring out how to tell his wife. If you’ve ever felt that quiet desperation around money, purpose, or what comes...
Your life can look successful and still feel wrong, and that gap is where reinvention begins. We sit down with Ana Denis, an author and communication coach living in the Netherlands, to trace her path from a shy, bookish childhood in Russia to a senior role in cybersecurity, then into entrepreneurship and a mission built around voice, connection, and purpose.
Ana shares what it’s like to chase financial sec...
He woke up in a hospital and regretted it instantly. That single moment became the line between an ending and a calling for Joseph M. Leonard, who joins us to share the true story behind his 2004 suicide attempt and what it took to rebuild a life that still felt worth living.
We talk about the quiet danger of isolation, the “ugly voices” that convince you the world would be better without you, and why saying those t...
A crown sounds like a costume until you realize it can be a mirror. Sylvia Worsham sits down with Holly Fair, a speaker and coach who decided to wear a literal crown everywhere for 730 days and ended up rewriting the story she’d believed about herself for decades. The result isn’t a gimmick. It’s a practical, emotional, faith-rooted conversation about identity, self-worth, and the moment when your purpose feels poss...
Comfort can feel like wisdom, especially when you’ve built a life that looks successful on paper. But what happens when your spirit keeps whispering, “This isn’t it”?
Sylvia Worsham sits down with Caleb Matthews to talk about the crossroads moments that force a decision: cling to control, approval, and achievement or surrender to God’s voice and step into purpose.
We trace how calling often leaves clues ear...
Black mold is not a scary headline, it can be a life-altering reality. Jeffrey Bowen joins me to walk through what happened after years of exposure in a poorly maintained office HVAC system, how it spiraled into chronic illness symptoms like crushing fatigue, pain, headaches, memory issues, and insomnia, and why getting answers can be so hard when you’re living with something complex and invisible.

She pressed “go live” with shaking hands, no outline, and tears she didn’t plan to show. By the next morning, millions of people had watched.
I’m Sylvia Worsham, and my guest Angeline Constantinou joins me for a candid conversation about domestic abuse survival, women’s empowerment, and what it really takes to break the silence when fear has been running your life.
Angeline shares how she went from hiding b...
Your life can look fine on the outside while your inner world feels overgrown, dry, and loud. That’s why this conversation with Candice Lynn Talmadge stopped us in our tracks: she explains “garden meditation” as a grounded spiritual healing practice in which we meet the whole self and start tending to what we usually avoid.
We talk through her story, healing framework, and the idea that we are made of more ...
He woke up from a coma and discovered the hardest part was not the hospital, it was the identity reset. I’m joined by author and speaker Lee Carlson, who shares what happened after a traumatic brain injury changed his memory, his personality, and the way he understood purpose. We talk honestly about the fear and anxiety that can follow a life-altering event, and how recovery becomes more than rehab when you have to ...
Divorce can leave you feeling like your old life had a name and a role, and your new life has only questions. We sit down with Kathleen to talk about the moment she finally looked at herself and decided she was done living in the dark, then used that spark to rebuild identity, confidence, and direction after a long marriage.
We get practical about what actually changes a life: noticing the emotional “hit” w...
Your child’s biggest meltdowns are rarely about the surface problem, and that’s the uncomfortable truth we keep circling back to. When work stress follows us home, screens fill every quiet moment, and we try to parent through consequences alone, we can end up raising kids who look “fine” on paper but feel lost inside their own emotions.
We talk with psychologist Dr. David Marcus about the missing skill behi...
AI is moving fast, and if you’ve ever felt that knot in your stomach about what it means for your work, your identity, or the future, you’re not alone. I sit down with Stephanie Sylvestre from AvatarBuddy to explore a different angle: human-centered AI built with faith, curiosity, and boundaries that protect what makes us human.
We talk about what it looks like to run a startup when the pressure is real and...
Food isn’t the problem when food is the fastest way you know to feel safe. If you’ve ever sworn you were “done” with emotional eating or binge eating, only to find yourself right back in the pantry after a stressful day, you’re not broken and you’re not weak. You’re likely running an old protection pattern, powered by your autonomic nervous system.
We sit down with Sherry Shaban, the voice behind Make Peace...

The world tells you to chase the next win, but what happens when you finally get it and it still doesn’t feel like happiness?
We sit down with Dr. Jack Groppel to talk about the moment achievement stops working and the deeper shift into significance, faith, and relationships that actually last. Along the way, we unpack the “mountains within” that fuel high performance, and the wounds that can quietly sabotage trust,...
Success can look perfect on paper and still feel hollow in your body. That tension is where our conversation with life coach and author Larry Kesslin begins, with a moment that reshaped everything: traveling to Uganda and Kenya to bring computers to rural villages, then returning home confused by one undeniable truth he couldn’t explain away. He expected poverty to equal misery. Instead, he saw joy, community, and a...
If you’ve ever felt trapped by fear, doubt, or a label you can’t outrun, this conversation hits where it counts.
I’m joined by Ken Cox, an author, coach, and comedian whose path to sobriety starts in extreme hardship and ends in a practical framework for rebuilding identity with intention.
We talk about what happens when alcohol stops being “something you do” and becomes who you think you are. Ken shares ho...
A limo ride in Miami. A “dream” career. A knot of anxiety that wouldn’t go away. That’s the moment our guest, Luca Firenescu, realized something was deeply off, even though her fashion industry success looked flawless from the outside. If you’ve ever wondered why you can achieve more and still feel less, this conversation meets you right there with honesty, depth, and practical next steps.
Luca shares how ...
He looked his wife in the eyes and said, “I’ve lost everything.” What she said back didn’t just save his marriage, it helped save his life.
I’m Sylvia Worsham , and this conversation with Anil Gupta, internationally known as the Love Doctor, goes straight into the places most of us hide: fear, shame, financial loss, suicidal thoughts, and the quiet belief that we’re no longer enough.
