What happens when purpose is born from pain?

In this powerful episode of Life Between Titles, I sit down with Katie Spector, an actress, improviser, yoga instructor, and storyteller. We open with the story of her father, a veteran who lived with Gulf War Syndrome, and how that experience shaped her why.

At twenty three, Katie filed a FOIA request for his VA medical records, read thousands of pages, and saw in detail how the system failed him. That heartbreak became fuel for a career focused on improving programs and services for veterans and their families. From stage work to yoga, from mindfulness to fostering kittens, Katie shows how creativity can be healing, how curiosity becomes momentum, and how her five minute rule helps turn ideas into action. If you cannot stop thinking about it for five minutes, do it.

This conversation will inspire you to face uncertainty with imagination, to choose kindness, and to create meaning from even the hardest moments.
