Episode 41: A Pause with Purpose — Gratitude, Growth, and What’s Ahead
We’ve built something beautiful together—40 episodes of stories, inspiration, and courage. In this episode, I take a moment to pause and reflect on what this podcast journey has taught me so far, why stepping back can be a wise and empowering choice, and why gratitude changes everything.

This isn’t the end—it’s a pause filled with purpose. A moment to breathe, realign, and come back even stronger.

You’ll hear:
✨ What I’ve learned from 40 episodes of storytelling
✨ Why community and vulnerability change lives
✨ How boundaries and rest protect our growth
✨ A heartfelt thank you for walking this journey with me

Take this episode as your reminder: reflection isn’t quitting, it’s preparing. And the best is yet to come.

E.  41 A Pause with Purpose — Gratitude, Growth, and What’s Ahead

Welcome back, friend! In today’s episode of Oh, There You Are, I sit down with Sam Mitchell—an inspiring young man, podcast host, and advocate who is living life on the autism spectrum with courage, humor, and heart.

Can LOVE on Same at Autism Rocks and Rolls  [https://autismrocksandrolls.com/]

Sam is the host of the Autism Rocks and Rolls podcast, where he shares his personal experiences alongside interviews with well-known guests to break down stereotypes, spark understanding, and empower others on the spectrum to embrace their unique gifts. His mission? To prove that autism does not define him—it simply adds to his story.

In our conversation, Sam opens up about:

 * What growing up on the spectrum taught him about resilience and self-acceptance
 * Why he started his podcast and the impact it’s had on listeners around the world
 * How he balances challenges with strengths, and what he wishes more people understood about autism
 * The importance of creating safe spaces where everyone’s voice can be heard and valued

Sam’s honesty and determination will leave you inspired to live unapologetically as yourself and to keep moving forward, no matter the challenges you face.

✨ If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t fit the mold, Sam’s story is a powerful reminder that your uniqueness is your strength—and your story matters more than you know.

E. 39 Your Story Still Matters with Elizabeth Marcelena

In Episode 38 of Oh, There You Are, I’m building on a recent listener’s message that reminded me how powerful it is to pause and reflect — not to dwell, but to remember how far we’ve come and where we’re going.

This week, we’re talking about how to stop living in the past, avoid getting stuck in the present, and start leaning toward the future version of you that’s waiting to be built. I’m sharing three practical mindset shifts that can help you keep moving forward — with hope, intention, and self-belief.

E. 36 Not Because I Have To — But Because I Want To

What happens when your entire life changes in an instant?

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Kenny Barnwell—a keynote speaker, author, and survivor who spent over two decades touring with music legends like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, and the Jonas Brothers. But one life-altering moment on tour in Monterrey, Mexico—when he was attacked by cartel—changed everything.

This conversation is about:
🔥 Surviving the unimaginable
🔥 Rediscovering your purpose
🔥 And using your pain to fuel your mission

Kenny shares how that moment of fear became the spark for something bigger—his calling to help people move forward no matter what life throws at them. He now brings his true story of resilience and redemption to stages across the country to remind others what they’re capable of when it matters most.

If you've ever felt stuck, afraid, or unsure of your next move—this episode will move you in the best way.

E. 35 More Than Music: Kenny Barnwell’s Story of Courage, Faith & Moving Forward

In this deeply personal solo episode, I take you inside a journal entry that reminded me—and now you—why we can’t keep hiding. This is your reminder that the world needs you. Right now. As you are. Not once you “have it all together.”

We’re diving into:

 * The impact you have… even when you don’t hear it
 * A peek into a future vision that reminds you of what’s already possible
