Esther Stanway-Williams returns to The Inner Room for a third conversation about grief, presence, community, motherhood, memory, kindness, and what life can begin to look like when loss is still part of you but no longer the whole of you.

Keda Shea joins me in The Inner Room for a conversation about knowing yourself, giving and receiving, discernment, identity, grief, growth, and what happens when you stop treating yourself like the last person on your own list.

Monika Bialoglowy joined me from twelve hours in the future, and somehow we spent eighty minutes reflecting each other back to ourselves.

Nicolette returns to The Inner Room for a conversation about self-authorship, deconditioning, authenticity, relationships, community, and what happens when you stop building your life around who you were taught to be.

Danielle of A’Querying Dragon spent weeks creating a birth chart experience for me and somehow it turned into a conversation about confidence, courage, relationships, self-discovery, and the parts of ourselves we’re still learning to understand.

A year after her last visit to The Inner Room, Anna Lewis returns to reflect on everything that's changed since moving to Greece.

Recovery isn't just about getting sober. It's about rebuilding trust, finding security, breaking unhealthy cycles, and creating a life you never thought was possible. Beautifully Broken and I explore addiction, trauma bonds, healing, family, hope, and what it really means to get your life back.

Stories shape the way we understand people and the systems we've built. In this conversation with Chief Absurdist Officer, we explore curiosity, journalism, healthcare, hiring, addiction, democracy, and why protecting our humanity starts by listening to one another instead of defending our own certainty.

What happens when you finally stop asking who everyone else needs you to be... and start asking who you actually are?

I sit down with Mila, also known as The In Between, for a conversation about voice, creativity, community, burnout, poetry, Substack, and why so many of us feel disconnected right now.

A conversation about memory, grief, identity, memoir writing, emotional truth, and the fear of being forgotten. Lynn and I explore how stories evolve over time, why writing can become a form of preservation, and what happens when memory starts shifting beneath us.

Today's conversation with  ⁨@ZoeMazahMusic⁩  started with music and creativity and unexpectedly or maybe expectedly turned into a deeper conversation about indentity, depression, survival and losing yourslef while try to be who evetyone else needs you to be.
