"I consider trauma to be a treasure. It's a place where you go for energy."

Lillian Eve Moore has spent over 20 years helping people face what they've been running from, and she says the payoff isn't just healing. It's power, wisdom, compassion, and a bigger life.

Her new book, Treasure Hunting in the Underworld, is a guide for navigating the hidden parts of the psyche where our patterns, pain, and repressed memories live.

The things we think are holding us down? They might be the keys to unlocking everything we want.

"My career was surviving."

He wasn't technically Jewish — his mother was A***n. He didn't have to go through any of it. He could have been spared.

But he chose to be Jewish. And that choice defined his entire life.

Pips Phillips was arrested four times and escaped three times. He wasn't a hero in the traditional sense — he was resourceful, clever, flawed. And in some of the most unexpected moments, N***s actually saved his life.

Dr. Georgette Bennett tells his remarkable story in her new book Half Jew, Full Life. I had the privilege of talking with her about it on the podcast this week.

"If I go on my deathbed and I've done nothing with it, it's going to plague me."

Danielle Frank wrote her book 14 years ago and kept it hidden. When she finally decided to publish, it became A Wine Lover's Guide to Parenting — a hilarious, rhyming guide that blends wine terminology with raising kids.

Her advice? Don't leave anything on the table. You have one life to live.

What's the thing YOU'VE been sitting on?

NEW EPISODE 🎙️🇮🇹

"It's about family, it's about traditions, it's about a sense of place. Italy is more than just food and wine. It's a feeling, it's an experience." — J.A. Marz

This week on Uncorking a Story, I'm joined by J.A. Marz — a healthcare marketing strategist turned novelist whose Tuscany-set fiction hit #1 on Amazon. We talk about the pull of Italy, childhood memories that became fiction, and yes — the great sauce-vs-gravy debate. (For the record: his family says sauce.)

Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or watch on YouTube.

"Memory without responsibility is just nostalgia."

Dr. Doron Keren's grandfather survived 14 months in the sewers beneath Lvov during the Holocaust — then typed his entire memoir from memory on a Polish typewriter. Six months later, he was gone.

Now Doron carries that story forward. Not as a relic of the past, but as a warning for the present.

"It was dark. Pitch black. I was terrified. But then I saw light… and a purple energy wound itself around me. And it was love." 💜

She was three. She was on the operating table. And she touched the other side.

Sally Dukes spent her whole life trying to understand what happened during open-heart surgery as a child. Her memoir drummer girl is the story of that search — and what she found.

She swore she'd never write this story.

For years, Andrea Leeb outlined the book and told herself no. She'd write fiction. Essays. Anything else. But the story she was running from became the one she had to tell.

"On the outside, I too looked like a pretty picture. Inside, I was dying."

Now, every time she walks into a bookstore, strangers pull her aside and whisper two words: me too.

This conversation is raw, honest, and important.

"Our people are out there."

In this week's episode, memoirist Jacque Gorelick - Writer talks about losing her mother at eight, building a life from scratch, and discovering that the family who shows up for us isn't always the one we were born into.

If you've ever written about loss and found hope on the other side of it — this one's for you.

What if purpose isn’t something you chase—but something you already have or if you can find it through your role related to someone you already know?

In this episode, I sit down with Nick Kemp, founder of Ikigai Tribe and author of A Year of Ikigai, to explore a more grounded, human take on purpose.

Nick shares how a guy who once hated writing ended up publishing books, building a global community, and helping others reconnect with meaning—through small, everyday moments. This conversation challenges the Western obsession with “big purpose” and offers a simpler, more sustainable way to live a meaningful life.

Priya Hutner left a spiritual community after 20 years and nd didn’t know who she was anymore. Writing became her way back.
