Where does creativity live when the problems in front of you cannot wait? In this episode, Heather sits down with a guest who is especially close to her heart: her niece, Matalee Heflin, a graduate of Abilene Christian University's School of Nursing who now serves as an ER nurse at Parkland Hospital in Dallas.

On The Hodges 12, Matalee is a Healer, Communicator, Cultivator, and that Trifecta shows up in one of the most high-pressure environments there is.

Together they explore what it takes to think on your feet, stay calm in the storm, and bring real creativity to moments where lives are on the line. Because creativity is not just for the studio or the stage. Sometimes it saves lives.

Plus, Percy delivers a question from a familiar former guest, Jordan Evans.

If you have ever wondered what creative genius looks like under pressure, this one is for you.

In this episode, Heather sits down with Jordan D. Evans, Director of Business Development for PDC Rx, a hospice pharmacy benefits manager in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where the guiding philosophy is simple: it is never business, it's always personal.

On The Hodges 12, Jordan is a Synthesizer, Connector, Organizer, and that trifecta runs through everything he does.

They explore where he pulls ideas that most people in hospice would never think to look, how he senses a genuine fit and makes the introduction, and what creativity looks like in the day to day. Jordan also weighs in on the role AI should, and should never, play in a deeply human industry.

If you've ever underestimated the creative power of connection, this one is for you.

This week on I'm IN! I sit down with a guest who is one year into his career, one year past the cap and gown, and figuring out in real time what it means to build a working life. He is a Campaign Coordinator at Calvert Street Group in Nashville, a Lipscomb University graduate, and on The Hodges 12 he is a Cultivator, Healer, and Strategist.

He is also my youngest son.

We talk honestly about life after graduation: what surprised him about work and adulthood, the lessons no classroom could teach, the old-school wisdom he now respects, and what his generation is right about that the rest of us may not be ready to hear yet.

Then we get to my favorite part, his Hodges 12 debrief. You can hear all three types in how he talks about people, problems, and fixing what is broken. His Thriving Index came back as Growing, and we explore what is feeding that growth.

Whether you are one year in or thirty, this one will meet you where you are.
