About Curveball: A podcast about possibility

Welcome to Curveball, the podcast that’s all about life’s “Wait, what?” moments – those twists that come out of nowhere, flip your plans upside down, and leave you wondering what the heck just happened. Every episode, we dive into stories from people who’ve been thrown some serious curveballs. We’re talking about career 180s, relationship shake-ups, unexpected wake-up calls, and those messy moments that feel like the end of the world – until you realize they were actually the beginning of something better. Think of Curveball as your reminder that those “What now?” moments don’t have to be breakdowns. They can be breakthroughs. You’ll hear from guests who’ve faced the chaos, come out the other side, and found strength, purpose, and sometimes a brand-new life direction. So, if you’re going through your own “Didn’t see that coming” phase, or just love a good story of resilience, self-discovery, and transformation, Curveball is here to show you how life’s messiest moments can actually make the best stories – and maybe even the best lives.

   What happens when life rips away the identities you thought were permanent? For Amy Jo Esser, the hits came fast: losing her brother way too soon, then losing not one but two jobs she loved. The kind of one-two punch that makes you stare at your life like… wait, who am I now? She could’ve stayed stuck there. Instead, she did something quietly powerful: she built structure where everything else felt shaky. Amy Jo doubled down on her health, her faith, and the small daily habits that kept her s...

   The Plan That Flopped – And the Awakening That Changed Everything with Sadia Hameed | 059

   Sadia Hameed had a plan. A really good one. After 25 years leading in the nonprofit and philanthropic world – building a globally respected organization from the ground up – she walked away with a vision for something bigger, more aligned, and deeply needed. There was just one problem. No one bought it. What followed wasn’t just a business pivot. It was a full-body, soul-level collapse that forced Sadia to confront something most high-achieving women never stop to question: What if the way yo...

   Why Success Isn’t the Same as Thriving (And What to do Instead) with Jon Rosemberg | 058

   On paper, Jon Rosenberg had it all. Big roles. Big companies. Big funding rounds. The kind of career that makes people nod approvingly and say, “Wow, you’ve really made it.” And then one day… he came home from a “successful” business trip, completely wiped, sat down on the floor to play Legos with his kids – and had a realization that stopped him cold: He had built a life he wasn’t sure he even wanted. Not exactly the kind of thought you can un-think. That moment didn’t spark a dramatic, movi...
