Today’s conversation is about what happens when something deeply personal changes the way you see everything and quietly reshapes the way you show up in the world.

I want to ask you something.

Have you ever had an experience that shifted your perspective so much that you couldn’t go back to who you were before?

Maybe it changed how you think about your work, your purpose, or the way you care for the people in your life.

And maybe, somewhere along the way, you’ve wondered:

Why do I hold back from sharing what I know?

Why does it sometimes feel easier to stay quiet than risk being seen the wrong way?

What might actually change if more of us spoke up?

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Bret Gregory, founder of DrTalks, to explore the story behind a platform built to amplify doctors’ voices and the very real, very human experience that led him there.

We talk about what it looks like when personal loss becomes a catalyst for purpose.

Why access to the right information can completely change someone’s life.

And how you can begin sharing what you already know in a way that feels grounded, honest, and true to you.

Here’s what I think will really stay with you:

Some of the most valuable voices are the ones we are not hearing.
Sharing your expertise can deepen connection, not inflate ego.
Conversations and podcasts are one of the most powerful ways to reach and help more people.
A simple way to start sharing what you already know.
What it means to stop waiting to be discovered and instead discover yourself.

If you’ve ever questioned whether your voice matters…

If you’ve ever held back because you didn’t want to come across the wrong way…

Or if you feel that quiet pull to share more but aren’t sure how…

This conversation is for you.
