    Ed & Kellie: What Do You Want Most? - a peek into our school event on Core Values.

    Have Questions? Got some ideas on what you want to hear? Text us! Ed and Kellie talk about New Year’s resolutions, when travel locations don’t meet expectations, and the constant struggle between what we want now versus what we want most. A fascinating discussion around the things we choose in life but are dissatisfied with once we have them. It's not often we slow down and compare our short term desires and goals with the things that are constant and most deeply important to us as individuals. Hell, do most people even know what those things are? Ed and Kellie explore their own journeys, and then walk the listener through the key questions that they walk their high school senior audiences through.  A great listen for anyone… but definitely for anyone looking for a new job, new friendships, a new city to live in, a new direction, ANYTHING to help them deal with a growing discontent with the way things are. And who knows,… maybe it will even help some listeners understand their past a little better as well.

    Have Questions? Got some ideas on what you want to hear? Text us! Ed and Kellie get to hear the story behind Dr. Samantha Martinez, a young, successful, Charlotte-based psychologist.  You will hear how Dr. Sam grew up in a small NJ town as the oldest daughter of 2 coaches, how her mom was diagnosed with cancer when she was 9, and that despite her begging not to go, how her parents sent her and her siblings to Camp Kesem, a place that changed her life. Such a fun and helpful interview that addresses parenting with curiosity, grief, and that the best version of us includes high performance AND the ability to feel.

    Chris Lee: Being a Creative and a Journey Back from Despair

    Have Questions? Got some ideas on what you want to hear? Text us! **Trigger warning: This episode talks explicitly about suicidal ideation and depression. If you are in crisis please call or text 988. Ed and Kellie sit down with their long-time friend and FOR Students’ Videographer and Graphic Designer, Chris Lee. They talk playing music, becoming a full-time creative, and the stresses of working for non-profits with small teams. Very quickly, however, Chris opens up and is incredibly vulnerable around his marriage, boundaries, deteriorating mental health, separation, despair, and plans for suicide. It’s a tough and beautiful discussion around feeling lost and, with the help of friends, figuring out how to survive. You will be glad you listened.
