  • When Life Forces a Rewrite: Storytelling as Resilience with Vika Victoria

    When Life Forces a Rewrite: Storytelling as Resilience with Vika Victoria
    Feb 9 2026

    Ep. 12 In this episode of Live Like it Matters, Elissa Kalver sits down with Vika Victoria, master storyteller and communications coach, to explore what happens after a life-shifting moment — when the old version of you has to reassess and resilience has to be built out of a hard story. This conversation goes beyond storytelling as a skill and into storytelling as a survival tool to learn: How identity shifts after disruption - Why resilience isn’t about “bouncing back” - And how meaning is rebuilt when certainty disappears. If you’ve ever felt like life asked you to rewrite yourself before you were ready this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

    Ep. 11 - Billye Breinnesen
    Nov 26 2025
    In this episode of Live as It Matters, I sit down with one of my best friends, photographer, creative, and all-around light-bringer, Billye Breinnesen, the heart behind Billye Donya Photography. Billye naturally thrives behind the camera, pouring her talent into capturing raw, meaningful moments for others. But today, I coaxed her in front of the mic and right outside her comfort zone and straight into my world of content, conversation, and connection. What We Dive Into: Billye’s journey from hobby photographer to building her own brand, Billye Donya Photography. How creativity and courage collide—and what it looks like to stretch yourself in ways that feel both risky and right. The power of friendship in pushing us toward growth, even when it’s uncomfortable. What happens when two different creative worlds meet—hers behind the lens, mine in content and storytelling. Why showing up matters, even when you’re unsure, unprepared, or a little terrified. Why This Episode Matters: This conversation is about more than photography. It’s about saying yes to the moments that nudge us toward growth. It’s about letting the people who love us push us in the best possible ways. And it’s about embracing the awkward, the hilarious, and the beautifully vulnerable parts of trying something new (and sometimes documenting it!)Billye Breinnesen Email: billyedonya@billyedonya.comWebsite: https://www.billyedonya.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/billyedonyaphotography/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BillyeDonyaPhotographyElissa Kalver Email: elissa@wegotthis.orgWebsite: elissakalver.comInstagram: @elissakalverFacebook: Elissa KalverTikTok: @elissakalverLinkedin: Elissa KalverBook: We Got This: How I Learned to Thrive with Terminal Cancer Where storytelling meets spontaneity.

    Ep. 10 – Dr. Matt Hershcovitch
    Nov 19 2025

    In this week’s episode of Live Like It Matters, I sit down with Dr. Matt Hershcovitch, a double board-certified otolaryngologist who made a major shift in how he practices medicine — all in the name of better care and a happier life.


    We talk about what sparked that change, including how the pandemic pushed him to reimagine his entire approach and ultimately create SoCal Breathe Free, a practice built around actual time with patients, thoughtful care, and humanity over hustle.


    Dr. H and I dig into some of the biggest challenges in our healthcare system. From how financial pressure affects treatment decisions to why simply listening can be the most powerful tool a provider has.


    It’s an honest, inspiring conversation with someone who’s truly trying to make healthcare better for all of us. Tune in.
