Can I Just Say? is a phrase that I often say and one which is deeply rooted in the essence of who I am. It is how I enter conversations, initiate connection, and invite people to share their stories. The idea being that this is a platform and community where guests and listeners have the freedom to say whatever is on your mind and in your heart. So, when somebody leads with, “Can I just say?”, my answer is an emphatic “YES.” As I embark on this next stage of my podcasting journey, guests will be going beyond what’s expected and diving into the more raw, vulnerable parts of their stories that don’t often get enough air time or perhaps they’ve never shared before. In keeping aligned with my personal values, I am focused on building a community of cycle-breakers who want to connect and grow together.

The Transformative Power of Words with Kristof Morrow
In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Kristof Morrow, an inspiring author and military veteran who has faced immense challenges, including growing up in an abusive environment and living with Tourette's. We delve into Kristof's incredible journey, exploring how his experiences have shaped his unique philosophy of trust and resilience. Kristof shares how he found solace and strength in writing, despite dealing with severe trauma and self-doubt. We also discuss his epic fantasy work, 'The Second Sun,' which explores profound themes of inequality, resilience, and the human condition through a unique literary lens. Throughout this conversation, we emphasize the importance of showing up fully for oneself, the transformative power of words, and the incredible impact of finding and building meaningful connections. Our discussion highlights how his creative work has not only aided his own healing but also inspired and connected with readers worldwide.
