A parent can be there one day and gone the next, and when you’re a teenager that kind of loss can reshape everything. We talk with Ryan and Gavin Jeffries, two high school cousins who turned friendship, family, and heavy music into a way to keep moving forward. Gavin shares what it was like losing his mom at age 10 and how the shock of grief collided with the strange, disconnected early COVID world. Ryan reflects on...
The safest place to live is the stands, but it’s also where hope slowly dries up. Today we sit with Theodore Roosevelt’s “Man in the Arena” words and get honest about why so many of us feel stuck, tired, or quietly disappointed. When you’re carrying responsibility, trying again after failure, or showing up in a hard season, it can feel like the bruises mean you’re doing something wrong. We argue the opposite: the du...
The scoreboard is a tempting judge, but it’s a terrible storyteller. I’m a high school football coach, and the longer I coach, the more convinced I am that the final score misses the most important parts: the early mornings, the quiet learning, the resilience that shows up after a bad rep, and the belief that gets built when nobody is clapping. If you’ve been passed over, had a door close, or feel like your season l...
A hundred kids on a hillside could see a bright green soccer pitch they weren’t allowed to touch. We followed Ryan and Kara Higgins down that hill—first to rent the field for the cost of a sandwich, then to build Imana Kids, a nonprofit that helps Rwandan children move from the margins into school, safety, and a future they can name. What began with a lollipop, a photo, and three questions—What’s your name? What do ...
What does it look like to rebuild a life after brain surgery when the prognosis is brutal and the calendar feels uncertain? Christy lets us into the unvarnished middle: asking permission to take a nap in week one, walking back into the robotics lab two weeks later to cheering students, and negotiating a return to work while doctors disagree on speed. Her story is not about heroics; it’s about choosing purpose over p...
It starts with color bursts in one eye, naps that eat the day, and words that won’t land. By the time Christy reaches the MRI, the image is unmistakable: a glioblastoma pressing her brain’s midline and a prognosis that speaks in months. What happens next is not denial; it’s a decision. She names two goals—walk her daughter down the aisle in December and watch her son graduate in spring—and invites her medical team t...
Hope doesn’t always leave with a crash; sometimes it slips away in the quiet while we keep checking boxes and carrying weight no one sees. We open this conversation with a clear promise: no hype, no vague encouragement—just a path back to hope through grounded practices you can do today. If you’ve been strong on the outside and thin on the inside, this is a gentle, practical reset.
We start by naming the su...
