A Voice Standing Strong Through Adversity (Ep 318)

Raw vulnerability takes center stage as I open my heart about the personal storms threatening to silence my voice. After four years and over 300 episodes dedicated to amplifying voices that matter, I've found myself blindsided by an unexpected "family intervention," the loss of my studio, and divorce papers filed by my wife.

The episode begins with a solemn tribute to Charlie Kirk, whose voice was tragically silenced through assassination, yet whose legacy continues—much like the mission I refuse to abandon despite mounting personal challenges. I take you through the bewildering experience of having loved ones question my mental health and the legitimacy of Voices for Voices, despite regular mental health check-ups confirming I'm not experiencing delusions. The pain is palpable as I share how, even after implementing suggested boundaries and earlier bedtimes, my studio was taken away and divorce proceedings initiated.

Against this backdrop of heartache, I proudly highlight recent accomplishments—interviews with Olympic gold medalist Oksana Baiul and Senator Ted Cruz, three published books including a comic book, and our upcoming presence at the Alpha Omega Christian Comic Convention. These tangible achievements stand in stark contrast to accusations that my work isn't meaningful or helpful. Without corporate backing or financial gain, this platform represents pure dedication to helping others find and use their voices.

My message resonates with unwavering determination: "You're not going to take my voice." Whether discussing difficult topics or lighthearted conversations, Voices for Voices remains committed to making a difference in people's lives. This isn't just a platform—it's a calling, a legacy of helping others that I believe is my purpose for still being here after surviving past struggles.
