In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and the producer of this very show to talk about what it really means to chase a dream, hit the bottom, and rebuild with purpose. From chasing big goals in Nashville to starting over in Maryland, we explore the power of perseverance, the lessons learned through failure, and the joy that comes from creating for the love of music again.

We dive into resilience, taming the ego, and how turning music into an act of service can transform both the artist and the art!

This week, I sit down with an old best friend to talk about one of life’s hardest and most transformative journeys: walking through divorce and finding love again.

She opens up about the heartbreak of her first marriage, the shame and struggle that followed, and how faith became the anchor that pulled her out of the darkest season of her life. From moving back in with her parents to rediscovering her worth, this is a story of redemption, courage, and grace.

Now, with God at the center, she’s living proof that even after deep loss, love can be rewritten in the most beautiful way.

If you’ve ever felt broken, unworthy, or unsure if your story could have a hopeful ending, this conversation will remind you that God is NEVER done writing.

Our first attempt at recording this conversation was a total flop, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. In this second sit-down with Tim, we dive even deeper and uncover some incredible insights from his professional journey around political elites and life behind the scenes in D.C.

Tim shares how he went from marching band to the Navy, where he stumbled into becoming a Mass Communication Specialist, a path that eventually led him straight into the Pentagon. He gives a raw, real look at what life inside the White House and D.C. is really like. What’s behind the curtain is not as dark as some might think, but full of complexity, perspective, and surprising humanity.

We talk about adaptability, staying grounded under pressure, and finding purpose in every experience, from private flights on Air Force One to the everyday moments that remind us of what truly matters.

This one’s a mix of grit, gratitude, and growth, and a reminder to appreciate that we get to live these lives and seek out the adventures that shape us.

In this deeply personal conversation with Tim Drake Godbee (before his debut on Love Is Blind Season 7), we journey through family history, the impact of sibling loss, and the ways we stumble forward in life. From exploring integrity, resilience, and radical acceptance to navigating mental health, addiction, and systemic failures, Tim opens up with raw honesty. Together, we reflect on balancing cosmic insignificance with personal purpose, carrying a sibling’s legacy with empathy, and examining modern struggles like privilege and politics. This is an unfiltered exploration of loss, resilience, and the pursuit of meaning in an unpredictable world.

In this episode, I sit down with Ally Melnick (@allymelnick), a strength and conditioning coach from Baltimore, MD, to talk about her journey through loss, self-acceptance, and the powerful role fitness has played in her healing. She opens up about losing her dad at a young age, what self-love has come to mean for her, and how movement became both an outlet and a way to help others.

In this episode, we sit down with my brother, Lorenzo DiPasquale, better known as “the Meatball of Baltimore.” A retired CPA turned strength and conditioning coach, Lorenzo is the force behind Speedy & Meaty and Meatball Strong. From his days as a “washed-up lax bro” to launching a bold new brand in Baltimore, he shares what it really takes to walk away from the safe path, build community through fitness, and balance fun with discipline. We even get into the hilarious story of how he once outran a bronze medal Olympian. He is living proof that grit, humor, and a little meatball energy can take you further than you think.

If you’ve ever thought about making a big life pivot or just want a good laugh and some fitness inspiration, this conversation will fire you up!
