In this special reflection, I open up about why I created The Eternal Student 360 Podcast — not from a place of expertise, but from a place of courage, learning, and connection. For years, I stayed quiet, carrying self-doubt and a sense of invisibility. This podcast is my way of saying yes to growth, to speaking my truth, and to honoring the stories of others.
I share more about my background as a therapist, coach, poet, photographer, and lifelong learner, and how my early experiences growing up in Peoria, Illinois, shaped my deep empathy for others. Even with multiple degrees and professional experience, I remain — and will always be — a student of life.
In Episode 2, I introduce my conversation with photographer Greg Urbano: a depth story, embracing imperfection, and finding meaning in the blurred spaces of life. I also share my original poem, "Empathy and a Vacation Day in Maine," inspired by a powerful moment of human connection.
This podcast is for anyone who believes in growth, authenticity, and the courage to keep saying yes — even when the path is uncertain.
