The Power of Failing Forward with Stacey Ray
🎙 As featured on the Life. Reimagined podcast with Stacey Ray
I recently joined Stacey Ray on the Life. Reimagined podcast for an honest, inspiring conversation about reinvention, resilience, and living—and leading—fully unapologetically. We talked about my journey from high-powered network executive to founder of Padlin Creative, the heart-centered artist mentorship organization I created to amplify authentic voices.
In the episode, we explore:
🏔 The courage it takes to make a bold career pivot
🎥 The emotional depths of wildlife storytelling—from orcas to hyenas—and what animals can teach us about humanity
🌿 How caring for my mother led me into the world of documentary filmmaking
💡 Why being Fully Unapologetic is changing how women’s voices are heard in media
🤝 The role of sports in building confidence, cooperation, and emotional resilience
Whether you’re navigating a career change, chasing a creative dream, or learning to take up more space in your own life, this episode is a masterclass in courage, creativity, and finding purpose through passion.
