This solo episode focuses on the power of perception and the stories that we tell ourselves as I share with you one of my most memorable interactions during a keynote that I delivered for an audience of college professionals. Often, we make assumptions on our limiting beliefs and our own self-doubts, and those assumptions couldn't be further from the truth. In this episode I offer up a few tips on how we can get out of our minds and into our bodies.

How do we find light in the darkest moments? And what does it mean to face adversity with courage - and to choose hope even through heartbreak?

In this episode, Kyla Thomson, the mother of 'Bella Brave' - a young girl who bravely battled multiple rare health conditions from birth, shares Bella's story of resilience, bravery and the kind of joy that radiates through the most difficult of challenges.

Kyla shares their journey with honesty and grace, as she reflects on the challenges Bella faced, the online community that rallied behind them, and how Bella's light continues to shine, even after her passing at just 10 years old.

This is a conversation about courage, legacy, and love that lasts a lifetime.

with Kyla and Lyle Thomson.

On July 10, 2004 Joe Delgrave's life changed forever. A casual boating adventure with his best friends on the Mississippi River turned into a life-altering accident. In a split second, he went from a college football player to a paralyzed 19-year-old. His life as he knew it was over and he had to find a way to live again.

Joe turned his adversity into purpose and found passion in the sport of wheelchair rugby. Joe competed with the U.S. wheelchair ruby team at the paralympics and earned a Paralympic bronze medal. He is now the coach of the U.S. Paralympic wheelchair ruby team.

Off the court, Joe is a sought-after speaker, sharing his story of resilience, leadership, and identity. Joe and I talk about how 'the pause' is so important after a life pivot - to propel us forward to new purpose and passion.
