What if the year you couldn't wait to leave behind was actually trying to teach you something?

In this episode of Turning Point, K. Patrice Williams sits down with Rochelle Henderson, founder of Created Wonderfully, to unpack three powerful shifts for moving into a new year with greater clarity and intention. Rochelle challenges us to rethink difficult seasons, walk boldly in our truth, and get comfortable with one small but powerful word: no.

From relationships and boundaries to self-acceptance and personal growth, this conversation is an invitation to stop carrying what no longer serves you and make room for who you're becoming.

Key Takeaways

• Shift your perspective: Instead of only asking what went wrong, recognize what difficult seasons revealed and taught you.

• Walk in your truth: Be honest about who, what, and which habits belong in the life you're building.

• Remember that “no” is a complete sentence: Set boundaries with others and learn when you need to say no to yourself, too.

What if finding calm doesn't require changing your entire life, but simply learning how to reconnect with yourself?

In this episode of Turning Point, K. Patrice Williams sits down with Rhonda Harris Slota, yoga teacher, Ayurvedic practitioner, yoga therapist, and Reiki Master, to explore simple practices for bringing the body, mind, and spirit back into balance.

Through breathwork, gentle movement, mindfulness, and grounding exercises, Rhonda guides listeners through practical techniques for releasing stress, becoming more present, and creating a greater sense of calm. She also explores the deeper meaning of yoga, the principles of Ayurveda, and how small intentional practices can support overall well-being.

Key Takeaways

• Come back to your breath: Simple breathing techniques can help quiet the mind and reconnect you with the present moment.
• Ground yourself through movement: Gentle stretches and mindful movement can release tension, especially after long periods of sitting or working at a computer.
• Create wellness through small practices: From slowing down while eating to meditation and self-awareness, meaningful change doesn't always require a dramatic overhaul.

How do you turn unimaginable loss into a movement that changes lives?

In this episode of Turning Point, K. Patrice Williams sits down with journalist, strategist, author, and nonprofit leader Pati Navalta Poblete to explore how one mother's personal tragedy became a powerful movement against gun violence.

After losing her son, Robby, to gun violence, Pati founded the Robby Poblete Foundation, transforming grief into action through gun buybacks, art, and vocational programs. She shares how a four-year vision became reality in just 10 months, why communicating your "why" is essential to building a movement, and how being willing to get uncomfortable can create impact far beyond what you imagined.

Key Takeaways

• Lead with your why: People connect with movements when they understand the real story and purpose behind the work.

• Get comfortable being uncomfortable: Meaningful change often requires vulnerability, courage, and moving forward even when others doubt the vision.

• Start where you are, then build: Pati's local vision expanded across communities through partnerships, persistence, and a willingness to ask for support.
