One Eleven

Donald J Derosier

Sometimes, a single moment changes how we see everything. Welcome to One Eleven Podcast, where I sit down with real people to explore the spiritual awakenings, unexpected turning points, and new beginnings that shape their lives. Through honest conversations, we discover how life invites us to wake up, reconnect with ourselves, and begin again—often more than once. My hope is that you hear a little of yourself in these stories, find encouragement for your own journey, and one day feel ready to share your story with the world.
