    When Life Forces You to Pivot with Ben Giroux

    What do you do when the life you built suddenly stops working the way it used to? Maybe your body tells you to slow down. Maybe your career changes underneath you. Maybe the plan that worked for years does not work anymore. For actor, director, producer and creator Ben Giroux, both happened at once. In this episode of Conquer Stories, Ben joins Josh Yakes to talk about recovering from the most significant injury of his life while also navigating an entertainment industry that looks very different from the one he built his career in. They talk about the things other people cannot see, learning when pushing harder is no longer the answer, building a life around what you can control, creating your own opportunities, and why sometimes the only way forward is to pivot. Ben also opens up about work, relationships, the cost of always wanting to do more, learning to listen to his body, and why progress sometimes only becomes visible when you step back far enough to see how far you have actually come.

    How to Find Yourself Again After Everything Changes | Antonio Lopez

    Who are you when the life that defined you suddenly changes? After a heart attack, triple bypass, career loss, and the end of a 23-year relationship, Antonio Lopez had to face a question harder than survival: Who am I now? If you are trying to find yourself again after loss, heartbreak, a health crisis, career change, or another major shift you never planned for, this conversation is for you. Antonio joins Josh Yakes for an honest conversation about identity, self-worth, asking for help, letting go, trusting yourself, forgiveness, and discovering who you are when the roles that once defined you no longer do. For years, Antonio was the dependable one. The friend. The partner. The employee. The person other people needed him to be. Even when things were not okay, his answer was simple: "I'm fine." Until life forced him to stop. Because finding yourself again does not mean going backward. It can mean learning to trust yourself, letting go of what no longer belongs in your life, forgiving yourself for what you did not know then, and believing there is still more ahead of you. WHAT ARE YOU CONQUERING? If Antonio's story feels familiar, tell us: What are you enduring, overcoming, or conquering right now? No one fights alone.
