Today we sit down with Katie Kadan, who you’ll remember from Season 17 of NBC's The Voice, where she finished in 3rd place.  After hearing her sing, Kelly Clarkson said, “That's what we need in the music industry, just a revamp of actual talent.”

Katie opens up in this raw conversation about life on one of the most acclaimed music talent shows and what life has been like since.

We talk about what life was like for her growing up, being “different” from the other kids and how that held her back from following her dreams of music for so long.

With the help of some great friends she was able to take the step onto the biggest stage of her life and come out on top.

Katie's insight into body image, self love, society standards and even bullying will have you laughing and crying all at the same time. She truly is one of the most joyful people I have ever met and I just had to get her to share some of that light with all of you.

I can’t wait for you to meet the woman behind the voice.

Finding Your Voice - with Katie Kadan

We pick back up for part 2 of my conversation with Steven Allen Youngat the point in Steven's life where he has just been released from prison and, after exhausting all his options for a place to live he finds himself homeless, living out of his car and on the streets of Nashville.

We hear about what that looked like for him, what he endured and the blessing of a man named Mike who was instrumental in getting him off the streets. 

Steven's story takes a turn that you just have to hear to believe, from being homeless himself to now helping the homeless each and every day.

I can’t wait for you to hear how this turns out.

Steven Allen Young and His Bittersweet Redemption Story - Part 2

Have you ever passed a homeless person on the street and thought to yourself, how did they get here?  Have you ever passed judgment and thought, “that would never happen to me?” Or assumed it was their own fault they ended up in this situation?
Or maybe you’ve thought the problem was too big and that nothing you were going to do would solve it.

Our guest today is here to share his remarkable story of a tragic childhood that spun him into a life of bad choices.  Those bad choices led him to prison and then eventually onto the streets where he found himself homeless for 5 years on the streets of Nashville.

Spoiler alert: Steven is now a best selling author of his book ‘FROM CHAINS TO CHANGE’ and is the co-founder of HOME STREET HOME - a Nashville organization that helps the homeless community with their everyday needs like shelter, food and toiletries but also with the ultimate goal of getting them back on their feet.

Our conversation was packed with so much emotion and inspirations I just couldn’t imagine editing anything out.
