Hannah took center stage in Seoul, Korea. English teacher by day and rising entertainment star by night. She was confident and powerful, no one could tell her "no".

Ep. 08 Beneath the Surface
What lies beneath the perfect surface of our lives? Everyone sees the sun glistening against the waves, but there is much more hidden underneath. Jeremy was class president and editor of the school paper. He projected the perfect image while dealing with a schizophrenic Mom and alcoholic Father. We project that picture perfect life, but how soon before our sharks rise to the surface and expose us for who we really are?
We all eventually reach a Pivot Point. The place where you get smacked down by life and have a decision to make. To roll over and disappear, or show up in the arena and fight. Who are we when we’re deeply depressed? When we’re not passionate about our jobs? When we’re struggling in our relationships? Or even when we’ve got it all together? Each episode we’ll be answering these questions through stories of courage. Real people sharing their real life inspirational stories. We have the ability to elevate our lives to the next level. To discover happiness, success, creativity, and a beautiful life. The human brain is neurologically wired for story, and hearing these stories of courage may be just the thing to elevate your life.
