In this episode of Interrupted, I visit with Verla Wade to explore what it truly means to live in the present moment. Drawing from her experiences growing up on a farm and a lifetime of spiritual exploration, Verla shares how curiosity, awareness, and simple daily practices can help us reconnect with joy.

Our conversation dives into the lessons nature teaches us about being fully present, why curiosity is one of the most powerful tools for personal growth, and how living in the "now" can transform the way we experience life. Verla also reflects on the values she learned during her childhood on the farm and how those early experiences continue to shape her work today.

If you've been feeling distracted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from joy, this episode offers a refreshing reminder that peace and fulfillment are often found in the simplest moments.

What happens when the unthinkable changes your life forever… and you have to find a way to keep going?

In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Katie Steinle to talk about every parent’s worst nightmare—the loss of her son—and how that unimaginable grief reshaped her life and purpose.

Katie shares her personal journey through loss, healing, and transformation after losing her son Parker at just 18 years old. Instead of staying stuck in the pain, she found a path forward—one rooted in Human Design, energy alignment, and spiritual healing.

Today, Katie helps others reconnect with themselves through Human Design, quantum biofeedback, and energy work—guiding people to understand their unique blueprint and live more aligned, empowered lives.
