In this episode, I share a full-circle moment that unfolded while helping my 97-year-old mother transition into a group home. Among her things, I discovered a cassette tape labeled "Catherine's Senior Assembly Speech." At 18, I stood in front of my school speaking about not taking life for granted—wisdom born from facing dying at age 11.

Listening back decades later, three messages still ring true: Life is here and now. Don't take this moment for granted. Being alive is a gift. These early truths shaped my path—even after a long detour through the corporate world—and eventually led me back to theology, chaplaincy, and the work I do today.

In this episode, I invite you to pause and turn inward: What is stirring inside you? What is your soul whispering? Can you feel the preciousness of this moment?

We are all being guided. The real question is: How do you experience that guidance within yourself?
