Ever faced a closed door and thought, “Maybe I’ve taken the wrong turn”?

In this episode of Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg explores what closed doors can teach us, and how they’re often detours guiding us in the right direction, shaping us in ways we may not see at the time.

You’ll learn:
*Why rejection and redirection are often the road to something better than you imagined.
*How closed doors can become hidden detours that guide us toward the path we were meant to take
*How connection, whether in failure or conversation, is the thread that turns uncertainty into meaning.

This isn’t an episode about maps or machines. It’s about trust, trusting the bends in the road, trusting the people who walk beside us, and trusting that even when the way feels uncertain, we are never really alone.

In this captivating and deeply human conversation, Steve joins Sarah Grynberg to share the untold stories behind his extraordinary career, from surviving near-death encounters in war zones, capturing the haunting aftermath of 9/11 in his own city, to finding serenity in Buddhist monasteries and the quiet wisdom of travel.

*The harrowing tale of photographing 911

*How witnessing war and tragedy deepened Steve’s belief in our shared humanity.

Ever caught yourself waiting for the “perfect moment” to begin?

In this episode of Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg unpacks why preparation mode feels so safe and why it quietly keeps us stuck from ever doing the things that matter most.

You’ll learn:
*Why confidence doesn’t come before starting, it’s built through the doing.
*How our fear of imperfection keeps us circling the idea instead of living it.
*What messy first steps can teach us about courage, growth, and creating a life that actually moves forward.

This isn’t an episode about rushing in. It’s about recognising that waiting to feel ready is the biggest risk of all and why beginning badly might just be the bravest thing you ever do.
