Still Standing Strong is a space for honest conversations about the things most people don’t talk about — burnout, grief, identity, doubt, pressure, healing… and everything in between.
I’ve been through my fair share of it. I’m not a guru — just someone who’s learned a lot from being knocked down and getting back up again.
Each episode, I’ll unpack thoughts and experiences around the difficult stuff — the kind of stuff that sits with you. I’ll share what I’ve been through, what I’m still figuring out, and invite you to think about how it shows up in your own life. (Dad jokes and puns may also make an appearance from time to time).
If you’re someone who thinks deeply, feels a lot, or just wants to hear something real for once… welcome.

3 LUG 2026 · Your energy is one of the most valuable things you have, but most of us give it away without even realizing it.
In this episode, we talk about protecting your peace, controlling your emotions, and recognizing when you're investing too much of yourself into people, situations, or problems that don't deserve it.
Anger, frustration, and negativity are inevitable—but they don't have to control you.
I share why learning to manage your energy has changed the way I approach life, relationships, and challenges, and why taking care of yourself isn't selfish—it's necessary.
At the end of the day, you can't always control what happens around you, but you can control what you allow to live inside you.If you've been feeling emotionally drained, constantly overwhelmed, or like you're carrying more than you should, I hope this conversation helps you take a step back, refocus, and protect the energy you'll need for the life you're trying to build.

13 GIU 2026 · We all have a voice inside us.
Not the one that tells us what we should do. The one that keeps pulling us back to what we're meant to do.
In this episode, I talk about the dreams I had growing up, the careers I imagined for myself, and the one thing that never stopped calling me back: music.
Some passions fade. Some interests come and go. But every once in a while, there's something that follows you through every season of life. It shows up when you're a kid. It stays with you as an adult. And no matter how far you drift, it keeps finding its way back to you.
Maybe that's not an accident. Maybe that's your gift.
This episode is about listening to that feeling, trusting that voice, and having the courage to pursue the thing that makes you feel most alive. Because none of us have forever, and someday the opportunities in front of us today won't be there anymore.
So what's the thing that keeps calling you back? And are you finally ready to listen?

24 MAG 2026 · In this episode of Still Standing Strong, we dive into the idea of “job fit” — and how being in the wrong environment can slowly drain your energy, confidence, peace, and identity without you even realizing it.
Sometimes it doesn’t happen all at once. It happens over time. You adapt. You normalize stress. You convince yourself that surviving is the same thing as living.
This episode explores what happens when you finally look in the mirror and ask yourself if you were meant for more.
We talk about fear, growth, risk, resilience, and the uncomfortable reality that many people never achieve what they truly want because they’re too afraid to step into the unknown.You can’t live life on the edge while being afraid to fall.At some point, you have to jump and see what you’re capable of.
The episode also touches on personal experiences, how difficult seasons can change you, and how adversity can create a mindset that pushes you to expect more from life — not less.
Maybe the life you want is waiting on the other side of one honest decision.
18 MAG 2026 · After stepping away for a while, Still Standing Strong returns with a different perspective.
In this episode, we talk about the pressure of chasing success, the reality of walking into a role that wasn’t what it seemed, and what happens when life forces you to slow down and reevaluate who you are outside of achievement, titles, and expectations.
The episode also explores a powerful story about tragedy, perspective, and hidden purpose — leading to one important question:“What is your rock?” Sometimes the hardest moments in our lives are also the moments that reveal what was happening beneath the surface all along.
This episode marks the beginning of a new direction for the podcast:
less polished, more honest, and more focused on real conversations about growth, struggle, resilience, purpose, and becoming stronger through life’s unexpected turns.

6 OTT 2025 · WELCOME TO A NEW SEASON
Sometimes the only thing we can control is how we respond, and even that is a fraction of the event that happened.
This episode dives into the power of reacting less — giving only a fraction of your reaction to moments that don’t go your way. From a missed flight that turned into a beautiful memory, to staying grounded through a job loss, it’s a reminder that calm often changes the outcome more than control ever could.
Inspired by The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins — and a new twist called The Let It Theory — this week explores how mindset, patience, and perspective shape every situation we face

15 SET 2025 · We work harder, chase promotions, buy houses, collect milestones — all in search of “enough.” But what if more never feels like more? In this episode suggested by a listener, I share stories and reflections about striving, achievement, and the quiet emptiness that can follow. Let’s talk about why “enough” is rarely out there… and how to start finding it here.

11 SET 2025 · Sometimes the most important thing you can do is pause and appreciate the people and moments right in front of you. In this emergency episode, I share why appreciation can’t wait — and why it might be the antidote to so much of what weighs us down. If you’ve been running on empty, take ten minutes with me to remember what matters most.
Remembering those who lost their lives on 9/11, and ensuring we don't take the life we have for granted. Love one another
3 SET 2025 · Not everyone gets the same depth of trust and vulnerability with you — and that’s okay! In this episode, I talk about why life and vulnerability don’t fit into a clean “circle of trust,” but more like a rhombus — messy, uneven, but totally human. Some people get the closest part of you, others are kept further away, but together they shape the relationships that matter.
Featuring Alisha (and a few meows from a cat)

25 AGO 2025 · Why does it feel like “enough” never really is? In this episode, I dig into chronic discontent — that relentless itch for more, even when things are good. From the constant chase of “what’s next” to the toll it takes on our peace and selves, we’ll talk about why it happens, how it shows up, and how to find moments of contentment without losing your drive and self.

14 AGO 2025 · We live in a world that moves fast — so fast that slowing down feels wrong. But here’s the truth: if you don’t make time for patience, life will make time for patients.
In this episode, I talk about how rushing, pushing, and forcing everything can take a real toll on your health, and why learning to pause might be the best thing you do for yourself. No preachy lectures — just real talk, personal stories, and a reminder that slowing down isn’t falling behind.
