More Than Capable

More Than Capable

More Than Capable is about rising up when the journey of life demands the most of us. It is a podcast about the hardships of life: recovery, loss, grief, burnout and addiction and the parts of us all that make us more capable than we ever imagined.Hosted by Kyle Layne, a recovered alcoholic who rose to the greatest challenge life ever presented a few months after entering rehab, the show features long-form conversations with people who have been tested by life and are still choosing responsibility, growth, and purpose.This is not a self-help show. It is not about motivation, optimization, or pretending to be a finished product. More Than Capable is about becoming stronger physically, emotionally, and spiritually through honest conversations about struggle, recovery, family, faith, endurance, and the work of showing up.For men and women navigating hard seasons, rebuilding trust, seeking purpose, struggling with identity, or learning how to keep going, these conversations are a reminder that being worn down or misstepping does not mean being broken.Keep showing up and taking action.
