John R. Miles

Each week, I sit down with changemakers, creators, scientists, and everyday heroes to decode the human experience and uncover the tools that help us lead with meaning, heal what hurts, and pursue the fullest expression of who we're capable of becoming.

Whether you're designing your future, developing as a leader or seeking deeper alignment in your life, this show is your invitation to grow with purpose and act with intention.

Because the secret to a life of deep purpose, connection and impact is choosing to live like you matter.

Hi friends, and welcome back to episode 699 of PassionStruck.

I'm your host, John Miles, and today we're talking about the turning point that changes everything, the moment you choose yourself again.

We're deep into our new series, The Season of Becoming.

This week alone, Susan Grau showed us how to rebuild after loss, and Ann Libera reminded us that becoming is an improv act, messy, playful, and brave.

But here's what I need you to hear underneath all of it.

None of the tools, yes, or insights matter until you make one decision inside your own chest.

That decision that says, I'm done waiting.

I'm done shrinking.

I am worthy of my own investment.

I choose me again.

That single choice rewires how you show up in relationships, work, confidence, everything.

So if you've ever felt stuck, burned out, or like you've been living someone else's version of your life, this episode is your permission slip to come home.

One quick favor before we dive in.
