Imagine waking up to find a stranger in your bed stabbing you repeatedly. Dancer, choreographer, actor, director, and writer, Lynn Forney was home from college when a stranger broke into her mother’s house and stabbed her seven times, while telling her, “Don’t worry, I’m a friend of your mothers.” But what would you do if after you’d been hospitalized for sixteen days, it seemed like the police were suspicious, insinuating that there was some way you could have done this to yourself? Would you doubt your sanity and go along with their gaslighting? Or would you realize that the whole department was corrupt because they didn’t want the reputation of their “safe” city to suffer?

What if a call in the middle of the night from a stranger changed your life forever? Author, activist, and founder and director of Resilience Force, Saket Soni, was in New Orleans working as a community organizer, when he got a call from an Indian man who was being held in a labor camp. So what would you do if you agreed to meet this man, but when you arrived it wasn’t one man, it was ONE HUNDRED men? Would you turn around, daunted by the idea of helping that many people? Or would stay and eventually lead 500 men to freedom?

Imagine you and your wife were trying to get pregnant and doctors told you that because you were both of a “certain age” that IVF was your best option. Clint Schaff, award-winning producer of audio, television, film, and live-event projects, took a cue from his wife and started posting about their fertility journey early on, in an effort to create a supportive community. But what would you do if there were a double standard, if hopeful mothers were showered with help and resources but hopeful dads were only expected to be pillars of strength for their partners? Would you go along and accept role impressed upon you by society? Or would you make it a point to talk to other men about what it's really like to be an IVF dad?

Imagine you’re an investigative journalist and a judge asks you to read the transcripts of a 1987 murder case, explaining that the man they convicted is innocent and still serving time. In 2018, Brooklyn-based, author, journalist, and podcaster, Gilbert King, read those transcripts and immediately felt compelled to find out more about convicted murderer, Leo Schofield and the victim, Leo’s wife, Michelle. So what would you do if you were all set to spend the next year or so writing a book, but this case was calling you to investigate? Would you shrug it off and hunker down and start writing? Or would you spend the next few years interviewing both the convicted killer and the real killer for your podcast, Bone Valley?

Imagine being so enmeshed with your mother, that you didn’t know where you ended and she began. Life Coach and writer, Benjamin Leyland, left England and was living in the US when he got the news that his mother had taken her life. So what would you do if the only way you knew to grieve your mother was to drown yourself in drugs and alcohol? Would you seek out anything that would stop the pain? Or would you get sober and tell all the terrible stories so that others might save themselves too?

What if the company you’d built owned 65 percent of the market share, and you were forced out of business when your competitors teamed up with the US government to take out your industry?

Lucky us! We were able to nab a second interview with the always-inspiring, queen of meditation podcasts for women, Katie Krimitsos. Family, love, and following dreams…these are the things that matter most to Katie Krimitsos. And it shows up in just about everything she does. The way she raises her two girls, the way she grows with her husband, the way she belly laughs with her girlfriends, and the words she writes in her guided meditations. Through her work with the Women’s Meditation Network, she’s created a way to get little digital messages of love out into the world at a time when it can feel really dark. All of her 9 podcasts under the network have the honor of supporting millions of women around the world. She’s had a lot of experience following her intuition and believes that, even in the most painful moments, she’s always becoming a better version of herself.

As a child, she played in the hills of Kentucky, where her ancestors had lived for three hundred years. In 2017, author, and nurse, Shawna Kay Rodenberg, wrote an article about Eastern Kentucky that caught the attention of a CBS news anchor, who was eager to do a piece on Shawna against the backdrop of Trump signage and “signs of blight.” So what would you do if you were sick and tired of the media misrepresenting both the people and the place you called home? Would you stay quiet and allow the stereotypes to continue? Or would you author a memoir, called Kin, and tell a more complete story about the Appalachian people?

Imagine being an doctor who identifies as a Christian, but also feels called to provide care to women seeking abortions? OB/GYN, and reproductive justice advocate, Dr. Willie Parker, was on his way to work when the decision to overturn Roe V Wade was announced, making it impossible for him to perform an abortion on the patient he was scheduled to see. So what would you do if the law of the land changed on a dime and you were no longer able to perform procedures in many of the states where you were licensed to practice? Would you figure that you’d done everything that you could, and consider changing your specialty? Or would you re-up your commitment to reproductive justice advocacy, insisting that every woman be treated like she matters.

Imagine reading the paper and seeing a horrific story about a dog who died after being shot by the police, and inexplicably feeling that the public was being misled, that the dog was not dead, but alive. Businessman and former correctional officer, Charlie Cifarelli, was living in Nebraska when we read the story of Star The Dog getting shot in the head by a New York City police officer while she was trying to protect her unhoused guardian. So what would you do if everyone you contacted said that Star was dead, but you just KNEW that she was still alive? Would you decide to let the notion go and get back to your life? Or would you follow your intuition and go on a journey that would change your life forever?
