Sala Talks Season 1 Official Trailer (2026)— Scrubs to Studio: “Coming Home to Myself”

Written, Produced, and Directed by:
Dr. Kat Besas, DNP

After being in nursing for almost 15 years, it was not until now that I fully gave myself permission to explore my creativity— and I have completely surprised myself in this process. I have found that “thing” that truly lights up my soul on fire and I hope that my courage to share my story inspires you to do the same.

Acknowledgements:

A very special thank you to the incredibly talented Maximo Reyes for capturing the emotional depth and grounded femininity that I envisioned for this podcast soundtrack. Thank you for always believing in me.

To Jackie Sihanouvoung for being my primary cheerleader in this creative entrepreneurship journey. I don’t have very many creative friends, but I am grateful to have the best one (you) on my team since Day 1.

To my studio engineers Danny Lopez and Eric Flores, thank you so much for all the work that you do for me. To the Pod Place LA team, thank you so much for helping me execute my vision for this project.

To my mom and dad for always believing in me and supporting me in everything that I do.

And most importantly, to The Most High, for planting this vision in my heart. Thank you for opening my mind to my creativity that I did not even realize I had. Thank you for the strength and daily endurance that you have given me, as I battled self-doubt doing something outside of my comfort zone for the first time in my life. All glory, honor, and praise to God.

Phil 4:13. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
