This one is personal. In this episode of Fearlessly Becoming, I sit down with someone who shaped my story long before I ever had the words to tell it — my dad, Dr. Deryl.

A former professor and lifelong learner, my dad was diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer’s a few years ago. This conversation is a tender, unscripted look at how he’s processing the changes, what he's still discovering about life, and the moments that still bring meaning, laughter, and clarity.

It’s not polished or linear — but neither is grief, memory, or becoming. We talk about what it means to let go of certain versions of ourselves while holding onto the core of who we are.

If you’ve walked alongside a loved one through memory loss, or you’re just navigating how to stay grounded when the people you love begin to change — this episode will meet you there.

It’s a slower pace. A gentler rhythm. A deeply human story.

From Husker legend to Olympian to pro athlete, Jordan Larson has lived much of her life in the spotlight—but in this episode, we go beyond the medals and the titles to talk about the woman behind it all. We dig (volleyball pun very much intended) into dating and relationships, identity beyond the labels, navigating life’s pivots and challenges, and finding peace from within (even when the world feels loud). It’s honest, layered, and a side of Jordan you won't hear everywhere else and a conversation you don't want to miss.

This week, we’re talking intuition—the times we listen to it, and the times… we don’t. I’m sharing two stories that still stick with me: one where I said yes to an engagement I knew deep down wasn’t right, and another where I hit a deer after ignoring a clear nudge to stay put.

It’s about the moments that teach us to trust ourselves, even when it’s uncomfortable. Because becoming isn’t always graceful—but the lessons stick.
