Burn the Map Ep 1: Why I Wrote the Book

Discover the real story behind Burn the Map—and what it means to live with unbreakable courage when life doesn’t go as planned.

In this kickoff episode of the 14-part Burn the Map podcast series, I share why I wrote the book and what I hope it unlocks for you. I’ll take you inside the slow unraveling of my life, my daughter Jamie’s addiction and murder, and how I found the strength to keep going—not with a plan, but with raw, imperfect courage.

You'll also get a preview of what’s ahead in the series and meet some of the Warriors whose stories are woven into the book.

In this episode:

  • Why Burn the Map had to be written
  • The power of courage, even when it’s messy
  • How your story—no matter where you’re starting—is still being written
  • What to expect in upcoming episodes

Your story matters, so live it courageously!
