What do you do when the world feels too heavy? When you're tired, discouraged, or just numb from the noise?

If you're me… you watch America’s Got Talent Golden Buzzer moments on YouTube. And you cry. Every time.

In this episode, I’m sharing a surprising ritual that’s become one of the most healing parts of my life. We’ll talk about how a talent show, yes, a talent show has become a space for emotional release, joy, defiant hope, and sacred connection. We’ll explore the deeper psychological and spiritual reasons why these moments hit so hard, why they make so many of us weep, and what they reveal about our deepest longings: to be seen, to be celebrated, and to belong.

This episode is a love letter to awe. A confetti-covered sermon. And a reminder that joy is not weakness, it’s resistance.

If you’ve ever cried during a viral audition clip, this one’s for you.
