| 6/23/26 | ![]() 272: Summer Wellness | Chad hits pause this week, and he's inviting you to do the same. In a lighthearted reflection on summer, he speaks directly to the students and educators SPARK serves and reminds us all that rest isn't something you earn, it's something you need. Summer is the perfect time to recharge, and this episode is your permission slip to do exactly that. | — | ||||||
| 6/16/26 | ![]() 271: Observing Juneteenth with Intention | History gives us perspective. It reminds us that change is possible, that progress takes courage, and that the work is never truly finished. In this episode, Chad reflects on what Juneteenth means beyond the holiday itself. Freedom is at the heart of this day, but freedom looks different depending on who you are and where you come from. What does freedom mean to you? What does opportunity look like in your life right now? What does equality still need to look like? Juneteenth invites us to sit with those questions honestly. To honor the lessons left by those who came before us. To look at how other people's experiences differ from our own. And to ask ourselves what we are doing, right now, to create opportunities for the generations that come after us. This is not just a day to celebrate. It is a day to reflect, to learn, and to look forward with intention. | — | ||||||
| 6/2/26 | ![]() 270: A New Voice Joins the Team | In this episode, Chad sits down with SPARK's newest team member, Shawn Adkins, for a fun and candid conversation about all things Shawn. With a background in case management and a lifelong heart for working with youth, it's no surprise that SPARK felt like home from day one. Shawn shares what brought him to SPARK, what his role looks like, and the impact he's already witnessed from the curriculum — even in his short time here. The two also get into life beyond the office, balancing work and home, and yes…the role Red Bulls play in it all. | — | ||||||
| 5/26/26 | ![]() 269: No Filter - Real Talk on Mental Health | May is Mental Health Awareness Month, but if we're being honest, mental health deserves our attention every month of the year. In this episode, Chad sits down for a candid, heartfelt conversation about the realities of mental health: the stigma that keeps too many people silent, the way our mental wellbeing shapes everything we do, and the quiet power of choosing to understand rather than judge, starting with ourselves. Because grace isn't just something we give others in their hardest moments. It's something we all need to practice, every day. Join Chad for this important conversation. It just might be the one you needed to hear. | — | ||||||
| 5/19/26 | ![]() 268: State of Mind Part 7 - The Voice Behind the Statement | In our final episode of the series, Brooke and Chad sit down with the woman whose words started it all: Mavis Karn. You may not have known her name, but chances are you've felt the truth in her words: "My state of mind is the most important thing to me." That simple statement became the heartbeat of this entire series. And now, Mavis is here to tell us what she really meant. She starts with a story almost every woman has lived: the quiet, relentless habit of making sure everyone else is okay before even thinking about yourself. It's woven into how many of us were raised, how we love, how we show up. Then, Mavis takes us somewhere unexpected: an airplane. We've all heard it. "Adjust your own oxygen mask before assisting your child." Mavis heard it too, and as a mother, her first instinct was the same as yours probably would be; however, then came the line that stopped her cold: "If you're unconscious, you cannot help your child." It sounds simple. It is simple. And yet it changes everything. Because what's true at 30,000 feet is true everywhere. If your state of mind is depleted, if *you* are running on empty, if your own wellbeing keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the list, how can you truly show up for the people who need you most? This is the conversation we've been building toward this series. Don't miss it. | — | ||||||
| 5/12/26 | ![]() 267: State of Mind Part 6 - A Moment to Moment Self-Care Mission | Some words stop you in your tracks. And when you're lucky, someone else in the room felt it too. In this episode, Brooke is joined by Stephanie Fox, one of the only other people present the day Mavis Karn said the words that changed everything: "My state of mind is the most important thing to me." Both women heard it, and both were moved in remarkably similar ways. In the weeks that followed, they each carried those words home and sat with what they really meant. Together, they reflect on that shared moment and the ripple effect it sent through their lives, unpacking why something so simple landed so deeply, and what it continued to reveal the longer they thought about it. The conversation also moves into territory that's easy to misread: self-care. Not the face masks and bubble baths version the internet has sold us, but something quieter and more honest. The practice of actually tending to your state of mind. Brooke and Stephanie explore why the word has been flattened into a trend, why that matters, and what it looks like to take your inner world seriously as a daily priority, not as a luxury, but as a foundation. This one is for anyone who has heard something, felt it somewhere deep, and needed time to understand why. | — | ||||||
| 5/5/26 | ![]() 266: State of Mind Part 5 - It’s a Moment to Moment Shift | What if the key to showing up as your best self wasn't a practice you had to perfect, but simply an awareness you could come back to, moment to moment? In this episode of the State of Mind series, Chad sits down with Jena Travise for a conversation that is as honest as it is eye-opening. Jena shares her understanding that state of mind isn't fixed. It's fluid, shifting from one moment to the next. And the real power lies not in always being in a great state of mind, but in noticing when you're not. Jena opens up about a recent trip with her son, recalling a moment where she caught herself slipping, responding in ways that didn't feel like her, acting out of character in ways that, on reflection, she could only explain as a shift in her state of mind. That moment of recognition changed everything. Awareness is the turning point. When you can see that your state of mind has shifted, you have the ability to adjust, to pause, reset, and show up differently. This episode is a reminder that taking care of your state of mind isn't a one-time decision. It's a moment to moment choice to pay attention, and the simple but profound power that comes with that. | — | ||||||
| 4/28/26 | ![]() 265: State of Mind Part 4 – What's Love Got to Do With It? | What if your first reaction to "my state of mind is the most important thing to me" was... that's a little selfish? That's exactly where Makayla started. In this episode, Brooke sits down with Makayla Wheeldon for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about navigating a demanding career, the realities of wedding planning, and what it actually takes to show up fully in a relationship. As they dig deeper, a new perspective begins to take shape — that being aware of your state of mind isn't selfish at all. It's a form of self-love. And when you love yourself enough to tend to your own mind, you show up differently for the people who matter most. Makayla begins to see that state of mind is the starting place for effective communication, deeper connection, and the kind of love that actually lasts. | — | ||||||
