Have you ever felt the ground shift beneath you, leaving you questioning your purpose and what you have to offer the world? That profound sense of loss and confusion serves as the starting point for this deeply personal episode where I share my journey from darkness to discovery.
Wrestling with purpose isn't uncommon, but finding your way through it can feel impossibly lonely. I reflect on those moments when my passions for baseball and basketball suddenly disappeared, leaving me adrift and searching for meaning. The experience felt like having a tablecloth yanked from under a perfectly set table—everything crashed down, and I was left to pick up the pieces.
What emerges from this story is how time transforms our perspective. The very challenges that once plunged me into darkness ultimately shaped Voices for Voices into the global movement it is today, reaching 79 countries and producing over 285 episodes. This evolution didn't happen overnight—it took more than 30 years of questioning, growing, and shifting from self-focus to service.
The most powerful revelation comes in understanding that your personal brand and legacy manifest through consistent action. Unlike working for someone else's vision, building your own requires heart-centered commitment that nobody else can provide. This perspective has guided our expansion into new territories, including our commitment to amplify Native American and indigenous voices who have historically been marginalized.
Whether you're currently navigating your own darkness or have found your purpose, this episode offers a reminder that your journey matters. The path isn't meant to be perfect—it's meant to be authentically yours. Join our community of voices from around the world and discover how sharing your story might be the light someone else needs to find their way forward.
