  “Grit, Glory & Growth: The Ashton Boswell Story” In this episode, we step onto the mat and into the mind of Ashton Boswell—2025 215lb Tennessee State Champion, high school senior, standout wrestler, and a young man who’s redefining what it means to lead with discipline and heart. Ashton shares how wrestling shaped his character, the lessons he’s learned from both wins and losses, and how he stays locked in on his goals, even when the pressure hits hard.

• Episode 5: The Mask We Wear: Uncovering the Truth to Our Identities

  Have you ever felt like you’re wearing a mask—not just metaphorically, but emotionally and psychologically? In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the masks we wear in our daily lives, from the roles society assigns us to the personas we create for protection. We explore the Japanese Three Mask Theory, breaking down the layers of identity we present to the world, our loved ones, and, most importantly, ourselves. But what happens when the mask becomes too comfortable? When does self-protection turn into self-deception? From false identities imposed by others to the exhausting cycle of pretending to be someone you’re not, we uncover how societal pressures and imposter syndrome shape our self-perception. And finally, we tackle the ultimate question: What happens when you've worn the mask for so long that you forget who you truly are? Join us as we strip away the layers, challenge the illusions, and take a step toward authentic self-discovery. Because the most powerful version of you is the one that doesn’t need a mask. It’s time to take it off. Are you ready?

• Episode 4: Curses or Choices: The legacy of Generational Burdens

  Ever feel like you’re stuck in a pattern you didn’t choose—like family drama, bad habits, or even financial struggles just keep following you? In this episode, we’re diving into the fascinating world of generational curses—those inherited struggles that seem to pass down through families like an unwanted family heirloom. We start with the spooky-cool mythology behind generational curses and then bring in some real science (hello, epigenetics!) to show how trauma can actually get written into our genes. But it’s not just about science; we’re talking big-picture stuff, like how historical and cultural trauma—think Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome—ripples through entire communities. We’ll also get into the nitty-gritty of how these “curses” show up in everyday life: family patterns, money struggles, addictions, and even unresolved drama that sticks around long after someone’s gone. It’s not all doom and gloom, though—this is about breaking free and taking back control. Whether it’s a “curse” or just old habits, you can change the story. So, what patterns are you ready to leave behind? Let’s talk about rewriting your legacy and breaking those chains for good.

• Episode 3: The End of Innocence: A Journey of No Return

  In this episode, we dive into the profound concept of losing one’s innocence. Whether through childhood stories, fairytales, or the harsh realities of war, we've all encountered this theme in different ways. Sometimes, losing innocence is a gradual and natural part of growing up, while at other times, it can be sudden and forced upon us by uncontrollable circumstances. We’ll also examine the choice some make to hold onto innocence as a way of escaping reality. Join us as we unpack the layers of what it truly means to lose innocence and how these experiences shape who we become.
