It Stays Here

Katiuscia Maria

Some conversations change you. This is the place to have them. It Stays Here is a podcast hosted by Katiuscia, where intentionality meets curiosity. Each episode is an invitation to go deeper — past the surface, past the resume, and into the real story. Katiuscia sits down with fascinating people to explore the moments, viewpoints, and experiences that shaped who they are today. Because the best conversations aren't just heard — they're felt. They resonate, they linger. They make you think differently about your own path. We grow not only through what we live, but through what others are willing to share. Here, guests open up about their careers, their passions, their turning points, and the human moments in between — and in doing so, offer something that stays with you long after the episode ends. Pull up a chair and stay awhile. These are conversations worth having.

    #5: Carmen Goicoechea on the Hidden Cost of Always Being in a Hurry

    Carmen Goicoechea didn't set out to become an expert on slowing down. She was doing the opposite — racing through projects, managing family life, and never truly stopping. Then a trusted colleague handed her a book, and everything shifted. In this conversation, Carmen walks Katiuscia through what she learned from “The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry” by John Mark Comer — and what she discovered about herself in the process. Carmen is a Women in Industry Award recipient and someone who has thought deeply about why we hurry, what it costs us, and what it actually looks like to stop. This one goes to places you might not expect. Carmen opens up about growing up as the oldest of five siblings, about creating a hurried household for her own daughters without realizing it, and about a deeply personal root — equating busyness with being loved. This is a conversation worth having. Also in this episode: the $75K happiness plateau, entertainment anxiety, what boredom actually was, and why Carmen says the antidote to hurry sickness might be as simple as five quiet minutes every morning. 00:00:00 Opening Hook: "I Equated Busyness With Being Loved" 00:01:25 Meet Carmen Goicoechea — Women in Industry Award Winner 00:02:23 Carmen Discovers The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry 00:07:04 When You Were Always in a Hurry as a Parent 00:13:20 What Hurry Sickness Is — and Why It Wrecks Your Health 00:28:50 Hurry Sickness Symptoms: Do You Recognize Yourself? 00:33:42 How Hurry Kills Relationships, Love, and Wisdom 00:46:06 How to Unhurry Your Life: Silence, Solitude, and Morning Quiet 01:00:00 Contentment vs. Chasing More — The $75K Happiness Study 01:14:24 Carmen Gets Personal: Unlearning Busyness as Love If this conversation stayed with you — follow It Stays Here on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen, and leave a review.

    #4: Mayor Trevor Chadwick on What Makes a City Keep a Small Town Feel

    He's been in Star since 1993, has deep roots going back to Idaho's late 1800s, and carries a political legacy that runs through his family's DNA — but what drives Mayor Trevor Chadwick isn't legacy. It's people. In this episode, Katiuscia sits down with Mayor Chadwick to go well past the résumé — the personal story behind why he does what he does, and the city he's building not just for today's residents, but for every kid who might need a little seed money to believe in themselves. We talk about Star's extraordinary 135% growth since 2020, what "Star equals community" looks like on the ground, and the programs he quietly runs — from $45,000 in scholarships to a Mayor's Youth Council built to shape the next generation of leaders from the inside out. There's also a moment in this conversation that stays with you. Mayor Chadwick shares something personal — a loss that quietly shaped everything he's poured into this community.

    #2: Craig McCarroll: From Combat to Consciousness — The Mission That Saved His Life

    Craig McCarroll spent 8 years as a Marine in the elite First Recon Battalion and 6+ years of high-stakes contractor work— then spent years in the dark. Infidelity during deployment. PTSD. Contractor life's hidden toll. A moment where suicide felt close. He doesn't hide any of it. What came next was a different kind of mission — DMT, ayahuasca, ibogaine, 5-MeO, and MDMA-assisted therapy combined with the Wisdom Dojo cracked him open and brought him back to life. He now teaches veterans to find their way home to themselves. Whether you've served, struggled with mental health, or lost someone to suicide — this episode will hit you in the chest and remind you: truth really does set you free.
