Poetry, Solitary, and Release

Today, Mel has one of the most powerful conversations you’ll ever hear on this podcast. 

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, exhausted, or numb by what you’re seeing in the news, today’s episode is for you. 

When life feels uncertain, it’s easy to start pulling back, numbing out, and bracing for the next thing. 

You’re not alone. 

That’s why you need to hear from Mel’s guest today, Bryan Stevenson. 

He is one of Mel’s personal heroes, and he is the kind of human being who restores your faith in what’s possible. 

Bryan is a world-renowned civil rights lawyer and author of Just Mercy, one of the most powerful books of our time, which was turned into a movie in which Michael B. Jordan played Bryan. 

He is the founder of the Equal Justice Initiative and has argued and won cases before the United States Supreme Court. 

He has saved over 140 people from death row, many of whom were wrongly convicted, and his work has fundamentally transformed the conversation about justice, mercy, and human dignity. 

This is one of the most honest, compassionate, and uplifting conversations Mel has ever had with a guest, which is why today, Mel wanted to share again the conversation she had with him. 

You’ll learn: 

-How to stay hopeful without denying reality 

-Why compassion is a form of courage 

-What resilience looks like when life is hard 

-How to find purpose and meaning by helping others 

-How to stop numbing out and start showing up again 

-How small actions create real change 

-Exactly what you can do in your community to make a difference 

Bryan is here to show you how to look deeper within yourself and to stand up even when the world is telling you to sit down.

And in doing that, he’ll remind you that hope might just be the most powerful gift you can give to the world, to other people, and to yourself.
