    A Journey of Faith and Creativity with Father Tom Gibbons

    What does it mean to live a truly soulful career? In this inspiring episode of Soulful Career Calling, Kasi sits down with Father Tom Gibbons, Catholic priest, president of Paulist Productions, and Emmy-nominated film producer, to explore the intersection of faith, purpose, creativity, and discernment. Father Tom shares his unconventional journey from a childhood spent drawing cartoons to working in graphic design, web development, community service, and ultimately answering his call to the priesthood at age 34. Today, he combines his vocation with storytelling through film, helping create meaningful conversations where the sacred and secular meet. This conversation is a powerful reminder that purpose is rarely a straight line—and that every experience, skill, setback, and detour may be preparing us for something greater. • Why Father Tom believes that "nothing's wasted" and how every chapter of our lives can contribute to our future calling • How serving the homeless and volunteering along the U.S.-Mexico border transformed faith from an idea into a lived experience • The surprising path that led him from creative pursuits and technology to the priesthood • What discernment really means and how it differs from simply making decisions • Why closed doors, disappointments, and unexpected detours can be essential parts of discovering your purpose • How honest prayer includes doubts, questions, struggles, and even wrestling with God • Why listening to "listeners" may be one of the most valuable practices in today's noisy world • How Paulist Productions creates films and documentaries that build bridges between faith, culture, belief, and doubt If you've ever questioned your path, wondered whether you're behind in finding your purpose, or struggled to make sense of life's twists and turns, this episode offers a thoughtful and hopeful perspective on trusting the journey.

    In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Ashley Southworth, founder and creative director of Southworth Interior Design, to talk about her inspiring leap from teaching into the world of interior design... a career pivot that completely changed the trajectory of her life. After nearly 20 years in education, Ashley made the courageous decision in her late 30s to leave the classroom and pursue a creative path that had quietly been calling her since childhood. What looked risky from the outside was actually years of passion, intuition, and life experiences finally aligning. This conversation is about so much more than design. It’s about reinvention, trusting yourself, and having the courage to build a life that feels deeply aligned with who you truly are. In this episode, we discuss:• How childhood passions can reveal future career purpose• Why career pivots often begin long before we act on them• The emotional and healing side of creating meaningful spaces• The behind-the-scenes reality of entrepreneurship and creative careers• How to explore new passions in small, manageable ways• The importance of supportive relationships during seasons of change Ashley’s story is a reminder that it’s never too late to pivot toward something that lights you up.

    When the Hardest Thing Becomes Your Greatest Purpose: Grief, Play & the Legacy of Tommy Mark

    What happens when the unimaginable becomes your greatest teacher? In this deeply moving episode of Your Soulful Career Calling, I sit down with entrepreneur, author, and legacy builder Nikki Mark — a woman whose story will crack your heart open and then quietly put it back together again. In 2018, Nikki lost her 12-year-old son, Tommy, suddenly and without warning. And in the aftermath of that grief — raw, disorienting, and all-consuming — she did something remarkable. She reached back into the skills she had spent 20+ years building as a startup founder, and she began to rebuild. Not the life she had before. Something new. Something purposeful. Something that would carry Tommy's name and spirit forward for generations. What you'll discover in this episode: What Nikki found in her darkest season is something so many of us are searching for — a reason to keep going, a way to turn pain into purpose, and the courage to take one small step even when the path forward is completely invisible. Her journey began with a single email to the city of Los Angeles about building a soccer field in Tommy's honor. That one act of love has since grown into the TM23 Foundation and Tommy's Fields — four community play spaces built to bring joy to kids who need it most, all in memory of a boy whose greatest gift was his spirit of play. But this episode goes far beyond one extraordinary story. Nikki shares something that will shift the way you think about healing, purpose, and what it means to move through the hardest parts of life with hope: Play is medicine. Not just for kids — for all of us. Especially in grief. Nikki walks us through the science and the soul of why play "unfreezes" the brain during loss, and how simple acts — a walk in nature, a paintbrush, a moment of curiosity — can become the first thread of a new life. She also shares one of the most powerful reframes I've ever heard on this podcast: the thing you miss most in your deepest pain is often the exact answer for how to move forward. Lean into the loss. The light is hiding there. Whether you are navigating personal grief, searching for your life's purpose, raising a child through hardship, or simply trying to find meaning in a season that feels impossible — Nikki's story is your permission slip to begin again. This is what soulful, purpose-driven living actually looks like. Not perfect. Not painless. But deeply, courageously alive.
