We talked about AI and the future of communication, what it means to stay truly human in a fast-paced digital world, and how to raise our kids with discernment in the middle of it all.If you’ve ever wondered how much of your life is influenced by what you see, hear, and scroll past each day, and what you can do to reclaim your attention and your truth, this episode will hit home.

#21 - Ryan O'Shaughnessy - From Fame To Freedom!
Ryan’s journey from early fame at just 19 (4th on Britain's Got Talent) and public success (representing Ireland at the Eurovision) to a more authentic path is one of the most honest stories I’ve heard. In this conversation, we explore the cost of external success, the quiet unraveling that led him inward, and how he’s now creating music that doesn't just sound good but feels true.This isn’t just a story about music. It’s about identity, reconnection, and what it means to be a man who creates from the inside out. Ryan’s insights into artistry, healing, and expression are profound and his presence is quietly powerful.He also shares a world exclusive of a new song he has yet to release. His voice is awe inspiring.If you're someone who’s ever felt the weight of being seen but not known, or the ache of hiding parts of yourself to fit into success... this episode is for you.

#20 - Is This It? (Micro Episode)
Is this it? The quiet question that changes everything.In this micro episode, I name the feeling so many successful people struggle to articulate. The sense that despite having it all, something deeper is calling from within. Rather than seeing that as a problem to fix, I invite you to see it as the beginning of a profound shift and the opportunity in the second half of life.Drawing from my own experience and the journeys of those I work with, I gently reframe this inner restlessness as a gift. This episode offers simple actions to help you stop striving and start listening. It’s a reminder that the discomfort you feel might just be your soul trying to get your attention.If you’ve ever felt the quiet ache of something more, this is the episode you didn’t know you needed.
