Episode Description:
What happens when a life coach and an intuitive guide sit down to talk about the moment life wakes you up? In this episode of Deeply Funny, Kristen Yaney talks with life coach Stephen Schott about awakenings—the messy, surprising, sometimes uncomfortable moments that shift how we see ourselves and our lives. It’s an honest, warm conversation about growth, perspective, and the strange grace that can appear when things fall apart.
