On this episode of 'Okay And?', Leah Henry sits down with Gia Peppers — an award-winning host, journalist, and podcaster whose voice you’ve heard everywhere from NBC’s Today Show to her own acclaimed show, More Than That with Gia Peppers.

Ever thought about leaving the “safe” path? Wondering what it really looks like to go freelance in the world of media? Or how to stay grounded in faith while navigating an industry that often feels anything but? This one’s for you.

After being laid off from her role in radio, Leah opens up about how that pivotal moment sparked her own transition out of traditional media — and why Gia was the perfect guest to have this conversation with. Gia gets candid about betting on herself, pivoting away from legacy media jobs, and the ups and downs of life as a freelance media talent. She also dives into the importance of pay transparency, protecting your peace, and keeping God at the center of your purpose.

This conversation is honest, faith-filled, and a must-listen for anyone chasing purpose while trying to stay true to who they are.
