In this episode, Rodney opens November with a quiet conversation about gratitude, resilience, and the unexpected places healing can come from. He reflects on family, forgiveness, and the moments that shaped his empathy, while inviting listeners to slow down and look at their own lives through the OPA Method. This simple three-step practice — Observation, Process, and Action — becomes a guide for grounding yourself, honoring your story, and finding clarity in the small moments that matter. It is honest, warm, and rooted in the belief that if you wake up, you still have a purpose.
