In this conversation, we explore what success truly means when you remove the noise of comparison and return to your own inner standard. Inspired by Charlie Garcia’s profile of entrepreneur and coach Mark Moses, 12 Lessons From the Man Who Coached a Dozen Entrepreneurs to Billion-Dollar Exits, we reflect on how people meet life’s hardest moments, how character is formed through challenge, and why fulfilment is ultimately an inner alignment, not an outer achievement.
A quiet, honest invitation to examine your own definition of success — and to consider who you become when life asks more of you.

In this episode, Katarina and Patrick sit with a tender, deeply honest reflection on spiritual life in survival mode. Inspired by Jason Gaboury’s luminous piece, Spiritual Practice When You’re Just Trying to Survive, they explore the quiet truth that prayer often begins where our strength ends.

3 AM wakefulness.

Fear we can’t reason away.

Thoughts we can’t silence.

The impossibility of focus.

And the smallest, most vulnerable turning toward God — sometimes just three whispered words.

Together, they talk about what prayer really looks like when life feels overwhelming, why God meets us in our actual condition rather than our ideal one, and how the bare minimum becomes its own sacred practice. This is a soulful conversation about honesty, compassion, and the gentle presence that holds us even in our exhausted, fragmented moments.

In this episode, Katarina and Patrick reflect on a luminous piece by Jennifer Edewaard, whose writing captures grief with rare tenderness and precision. Her work, Living While Breaking, is a meditation on what it means to carry what cannot be fixed — and to keep living with a heart that refuses to harden.

Jennifer’s lines open the door to a quiet, powerful conversation about the nature of mourning, the rituals that hold us together, and the gentle resistances that help us stay soft in a world that often asks us to be otherwise.

We explore the truth that grief doesn’t disappear; it changes us. It becomes a companion, a teacher, a presence that shapes how we see love, time, memory, and God. And we speak about the small mercies that help us continue — the acts of tenderness that remind us something still grows.
