    Finding Home Abroad: Stacey Carr on Faith, Courage & Reinvention

    In this episode of 1946: The Culture Shift Tour – UK, hosts Rocky Roggio and Josie Peres are joined by Stacey Carr, an Emmy-nominated television executive turned theatre leader whose journey from Los Angeles to London is a story of courage, reinvention, and community. In celebration of International Women’s Day, we’re honoring Stacey’s story as a woman who has helped shape culture through storytelling, leadership, and advocacy. Stacey’s connection to 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture goes back to the early days of the film, when conversations about scripture, faith, and identity helped inspire the journey that would eventually lead to the documentary. Today, Stacey works as Head of Inclusion and Skills at London’s Donmar Warehouse Theatre, helping expand opportunities in the arts and supporting emerging storytellers. In this episode we explore: • Stacey’s career in television with Nickelodeon and OWN • Her move from Hollywood to London • Building community in a new country • Faith, belonging, and finding home abroad • Why storytelling can help create spaces where everyone belongs • Why LGBTQ people should never be excluded from relationship with God. This is a conversation about women leading change, building community, and creating a more inclusive world. 🎬 Learn more about the film 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture 🔗 Links and resources: 1946themovie.com Links to Sites Mentioned 1946 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture https://www.1946themovie.com/ Watch 1946 https://www.1946themovie.com/watch-1946-movie 1946 Resources https://www.1946themovie.com/resources Stacey Carr / Donmar Warehouse Donmar Warehouse https://www.donmarwarehouse.com/ Donmar Warehouse – Our Story https://www.donmarwarehouse.com/our-story/ Donmar Warehouse – Contact https://www.donmarwarehouse.com/contact-us/ Storytelling / Creative Communities True Story London https://www.truestorylondon.com/ True Story London Podcast https://www.truestory.london/ One Track Minds https://www.onetrackminds.uk/ Faith / Church Resources Alpha UK https://alpha.org.uk/ Find an Alpha https://alpha.org.uk/try Visa / Moving to the UK UK Global Talent Visa https://www.gov.uk/global-talent Media Companies Mentioned Nickelodeon https://www.nick.com/ OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network https://www.oprah.com/own Banijay https://www.banijay.com/ Banijay Americas https://banijayamericas.com/

    Leading with Empathy: Dr. Jen Johannsen on Faith, Fear, and Finding Peace

    In this transformative episode, Rocky sits down with Dr. Jen Johannsen—a writer, coach, and former dentist—who helps people move from burnout to balance by reconnecting with their bodies, emotions, and deepest truths. After years of struggling with seasonal depression, professional burnout, and emotional disconnection, Jen turned inward. Through spiritual awakening, study, and self-inquiry, she began a journey of healing that now shapes her work helping others do the same. She shares her path from subconscious survival to intentional living and how tapping into emotional regulation, consciousness, and compassion can radically reshape how we show up in divided spaces. Drawing from the work of Eckhart Tolle, Dr. David Hawkins, and her own lived experience, Jen unpacks what it means to operate from fear vs. love, and how understanding our emotional "state" can change the way we engage across political, spiritual, and relational lines. Together, they explore: How trauma and emotional dysregulation influence belief systems The “Map of Consciousness” and its relevance to modern spiritual and political dialogue Practical tools for emotionally safe, permission-based conversations What to do when you're not ready to engage—and how hunkering down can still be holy The intersection of activism, nervous system health, and relational healing 💬 “We don’t need to be right—we need to be real. And regulated.” Whether you're navigating tough conversations about faith, identity, politics, or family, this episode offers grounded insight, emotional clarity, and practical guidance for anyone ready to build bridges in divided times. 📎 Links & Resources: 📝 Jen’s blog: https://grounded-now.com 📲 Instagram: @grounded.with.jen 🧠 Dr. David Hawkins: Map of Consciousness 📚 Eckhart Tolle: A New Earth https://eckharttolle.com 🛠 Free emotional regulation tools: See Jen’s website Richard Rohr – Center for Action and Contemplation: https://cac.org Colby Martin – Website: https://www.colbymartinonline.com – Substack: https://colbymartin.substack.com Glennon Doyle – Book: Untamed – https://momastery.com Good News Club (Mentioned for context) – https://www.cefonline.com/ministries/goodnewsclub Find Out Podcast – Hosted by Tim Fullerton – https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/find-out/id1742162137 Midas Touch Podcast Network – https://www.midastouch.com Pete Buttigieg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Buttigieg                                            Referenced frequently as a model for bridge-building dialogue Abigail Spanberger – https://abigailspanberger.com – (Mentioned in context of her campaign for Governor of Virginia)
