   Milica Vogt – Something Good Will Happen

   Milica Vogt was seven years old when her home country began experiencing civil war. A native of Croatia, Milica "Vidić" Vogt was twelve when she fled the country in 1995 during "Operation Storm," also known as the ethnic cleansing of Serbs in Croatia. After living in a Serbian refugee camp for a few years, she emigrated to the United States in search of the best chance at safety, freedom, and prosperity. A scientist by training, she decided, after almost twenty years in corporate America, to dedicate her time and energy to writing her memoir and sharing her story of struggle, hope, and survival, with the intention of helping and inspiring others facing similar circumstances so they can claim their strength to overcome what may seem impossible at the moment. You can read about her story and learn more about Milica at https://milicavogt.com/ and through her book, "Under a Whistling Sky."

   Dr. Jeffrey Knight Episode 1 – The Autism Wellness Center

   Dr. Jeffrey Knight founded The Autism Wellness Center of Utah out of a strong desire to serve neurodiverse children and their caregiving families. He has devoted more than six years to seeking treatments, techniques, skills, knowledge, strategies, and solutions to help children and their caretakers adapt to and learn about autism traits. He has learned fascinating ways to improve neurological function, reduce inflammation, improve gut health, and safely remove toxins that can harm and hinder ideal health and function in a child with autism. Dr. Knight has served many families who are in the trenches with autism. One trait he often notices is how difficult it can be for many families to afford the health care costs associated with autism. Many families have exhausted every penny they have to help their child. Unfortunately, many of the treatments they have tried have not provided the results they had hoped for, leaving them with the same dilemmas and few resources for their children. That is one of the many reasons Dr. Knight was inspired to start a nonprofit just for children with autism so that the necessary care and attention could be given to those in need.

   Barb Nangle Episode 2 – Boundaries as Safe Spaces

   Barb Nangle is a boundaries coach, speaker, author, and podcaster. After nearly 40 years of therapy and personal development, Barb found her way to 12-step recovery at age 52. What began as a journey to address codependence soon expanded to include recovery from intergenerational dysfunction, childhood trauma, and compulsive overeating—issues she hadn't initially recognized in herself, and decades of personal development had merely scratched the surface. Recovery melted the iceberg of her life. Because codependency was her core wound, learning to set healthy boundaries transformed her at every level—her relationship with herself, with others, and with the world around her. The ripple effect of these changes even reached her professional life, profoundly affecting her team at Yale University, where she worked at the time. Before recovery, she was acutely aware of her history of unhealthy, unsatisfying romantic relationships. She also struggled with years of substance use and overeating, carrying over 100 pounds more than she does now. Despite these struggles, she maintained an outward appearance of having it all together. She once believed she was a positive, optimistic person. Recovery revealed the truth: she was trapped in negativity and fear. She ruminated about the past, catastrophized about the future, complained frequently, engaged in "if only" thinking, and blamed others for her difficulties. She was terrified of judgment, rejection, abandonment, and being seen as a bad person. She didn't realize how deeply these patterns affected her until they began to change. Combining her life experience and education has shaped her purpose: to help professional women stop saying yes when they mean no and to end the cycle of self-neglect by reclaiming their focus and power. She achieves this through her boundary-setting coaching, professional speaking engagements, and her podcast, "Fragmented to Whole: Life Lessons from 12 Step Recovery."
