💛 What happens when the role of “mom” fades… and you’re finally invited to meet the woman underneath? 
Ann-Marie sits down with author, speaker, and Third Act Society founder Ronnie Izon for a raw, intimate conversation about motherhood, identity, and the grief women never expect when their children grow up. From decades of devoted parenting to the quiet shock of an empty house, Ronnie traces the moment where roles fall away — and how letting go becomes the doorway back to self.
It’s not what you think it is. ☝🏽
The author of “Slipping Through My Fingers: What Every Mother Feels, What Every Daughter Will One Day Understand,” Ronnie gives language to the ache of empty nesting, the identity crisis that follows, and the generational cycle of women erasing themselves in the name of love.
Listen as Ronnie takes Ann-Marie behind the scenes of her awakening — from raising children on autopilot to reclaiming womanhood, building community, and founding the Third Act Society as a space for women rediscovering who they are beyond motherhood.
This isn’t just a conversation —it’s a reminder that release is an act of love. 🌠

Ann-Marie sits down with author and wellness advocate DK Kang for a raw, grounded conversation about what happens when life collapses all at once — and how you learn to rise anyway.
After walking through his wife’s cancer diagnosis, losing his job, and facing overwhelming financial pressure, DK shares practical tools for turning setbacks into fuel for health, healing, and personal growth. He shares a deeper truth: healing is a miracle… a spiritual recalibration.
DK opens up about the inner journey behind survival — the fear, the surrender, the faith, and the quiet rebuilding of a man’s identity.
💛 What changes when life forces you to become stronger than your circumstances?
💛 What do you discover about yourself when pain demands your full honesty? This isn’t just a conversation — it’s a reminder that you can rebuild your body, your mind, and your spirit… even when the world thinks you’re done

Ann-Marie sits down with novelist, poet, and spiritual seeker Kelly Watt for a raw, intimate conversation about healing the wounds we never asked for. From foster care to a violent assault, Kelly traces the path where things fall apart and how the “weeping degree” brings us back to healing.
 
It’s not what you think it is. ☝🏽
 
The award-winning author of “Mad Dog”, “Camino Meditations” and “The Weeping Degree: How Astrology Saved Me From Suicide,” Kelly’s gritty poetry tells the biography of trauma.
 
Listen as Kelly takes Ann-Marie behind the scenes of her spiritual awakening during her pilgrimages to a Buddhist Monastry, Mexico and back to India and why you can’t hide in poetry.
 
💛 What happens when you finally stop running… and look at your pain in the mirror?
 
This isn’t just a conversation —
it’s a reminder that you can turn lead into gold. 🌠
