Hi Reader,

What if your voice was the story? This week, we’re exploring how creativity becomes a lifeline—from melodies that heal to words that wake us up. Our guests took wildly different paths, but both show how storytelling—through music, writing, or just showing up—can change everything.

​

🎙️ Meet This Week’s Rebels ​He Lost Everything—Then Picked Up a Guitar 🎸​ Outlaw country artist Duane Parker didn’t just write songs—he survived with them. In one of our most honest episodes yet, Duane opens up about the heartbreak that brought him to music, how faith kept him going, and why he'll never chase trends in a world full of noise. It all leads to a powerful live performance of his original song, “Three More Sets To Go.” ​ ​⛷️ She Left Everything Behind After One Trip to Alaska​ What happens when you stop following the rules—and start listening to your courage? In this electrifying episode, adventurer and women’s empowerment advocate Jennie "AdrenaJen"Milton shares the story of how one bold trip to Alaska shattered her idea of a “normal life” and set her on a path of radical self-discovery. From conquering fear through wild adventures to helping other women find their power through kite camps and children’s books, Jennie proves that courage isn’t something you’re born with—it’s something you build. Her story is a wake-up call to anyone ready to live with purpose, freedom, and fire. ​​​

✨ From the Heart of the Storm: Wisdom You’ll Actually Feel

💡 This week’s guests prove something we all need to hear—you don’t have to sound like anyone else to have something worth saying. Whether it's songwriting or soul-writing, they remind us that the real magic happens when you stop performing and start expressing.

Their stories are threaded with resilience, faith, and the raw courage to keep going—even when the path looks nothing like what they expected. Whether you're holding a guitar, a pen, or a secret dream, remember: your voice is your power.
