AwareNow 'Innerviews' w/Daniel Matterson in 'The Other Side Of The Scan'
Twelve years ago, Daniel Matterson walked into a clinic as a young radiographer and walked out with a diagnosis that would change his life: multiple sclerosis. Rather than allowing that diagnosis to determine his future, he pursued a dream of becoming a doctor, turning his personal experience with MS into a professional purpose. Now, with a scholarship secured and a PhD beginning in September 2027
AwareNow 'Innerviews' w/RJ Mitte in 'A Voice That Remains'
Some people change the world by the roles they play. Others change it by refusing to play the roles the world has assigned them. RJ Mitte did both.Best known for his groundbreaking portrayal of Walter White Jr. in Breaking Bad, RJ was far more than an actor. Living with cerebral palsy, he became a powerful voice for disability representation, using his platform to challenge stereotypes, confront d
AwareNow w/Sonja Montiel in 'What Survival Can Build' featuring John Patterson
Some of the skills that save us are the same ones that later teach us how to see one another. For John Patterson, learning to move carefully through a world that did not always feel safe became something more than survival: it became a practice in curiosity, empathy, and understanding realities beyond his own. His story is a powerful reminder that what we endure can shape not only who we become, b
AwareNow w/Paul Rogers in 'Between Surviving & Recovery: A Full-Time Job'
There is a space between surviving and healing that rarely gets named. It is where endurance begins to loosen its grip, but recovery has not yet fully taken hold. In that in-between, we begin the quiet, difficult work of making room for life again. Featured in 'The Complex Edition' of AwareNow Magazinewww.awarenowmagazine.comWritten & Narrated by: Paul S.

AwareNow 'Innerviews' w/Suzanne Akullian in 'When Limits Found Us'
Suzanne Akullian and her husband, Leo, built a life in motion, filled with surfing, snowboarding, skiing, mountain biking and the freedom to simply go. Then multiple sclerosis began changing what movement looked like for Leo, and with it, the shape of the life they had always known. What began as Suzanne’s determination to help the man she loves hold onto his independence has grown into AxEL Mobil
AwareNow 'Innerviews' w/Adolfo Lopez in 'An Abnormal Heart'
There are hearts we are born with and hearts we are given. Adolfo Lopez has known both. A heart transplant recipient, artist, father and founder of Abnormal Hearts, Adolfo has transformed a lifetime shaped by congenital heart disease into something larger than survival: a community built from scars, stories, art and the belief that what makes us different may also give our lives meaning.Featured i
AwareNow 'Innerviews' w/Rose Anderson in 'Worth Telling'
Some stories entertain us. Others stay with us, changing what we understand about another person, a community, or even ourselves. As AwareNow joins New York Festivals in recognizing storytelling with the power to inform, connect and create change, I sat down with Rose Anderson to talk about the stories we choose to honor, why recognition matters, and what storytelling can still ask of all of us.Fe
AwareNow 'Innerviews' w/Danielle Carpio in 'Healing Out Loud'
For years, Danielle Carpio carried the effects of complex trauma without having the language to explain what was happening inside her. Receiving a CPTSD diagnosis did not erase what she had endured, but it helped her understand that she was never broken and that her responses made sense in the context of what had happened. Now, as Complex Dani and the founder of the Healing & CPTSD Foundation,

At just 18 years old, Reagan Murphree is helping bring people back to a corner of downtown Byron that was forever changed by a devastating fire in 2012.

AwareNow w/Jack McGuire in 'Humanity'
At a time when so much seems designed to remind us of our differences, Jack McGuire asks us to remember what came first: our humanity. In this reflection, he explores humanity not simply as something we are, but as a choice we make through compassion, awareness and action. Because perhaps the future of our shared human story depends less on what divides us and more on what we choose to do for one
AwareNow w/Sonja Montiel in 'Rigor & Humanity' w/Wilson Lee
For much of Wilson Lee’s life, hard work was more than a value. It was a measure of what it meant to do things right. But across 24 years in education, Wilson has learned that the strongest leadership does not ask us to choose between excellence and humanity, but to make room for both.Featured in 'The Unhidden Edition' of AwareNow Magazinewww.awarenowmagazine.comWritten by: Sonja MontielNa
AwareNow w/Duff Archie in 'Thoughts On The Evening Of'

AwareNow 'Innerviews' w/Marge Wakefield in 'The Shadow's Name'
Marge Wakefield grew up in Lake Linden, Michigan, a small town in the Upper Peninsula, where she came to know herself as a “Yooper” and, from a very young age, came to know something else she called “the shadow.” At nineteen, while studying piano in Philadelphia, she was hospitalized for the first time and saw the word “schizophrenia” written on her chart. What might have frightened someone else b
AwareNow 'Innerviews' w/Brian Wallace in 'The Strength After'
Long before multiple sclerosis entered his life, Brian Wallace knew what it meant to fight for every inch—on the football field at the University of Michigan, where he played on four Big Ten championship teams and made three Rose Bowl appearances. Then, at just 27 years old, the opponent changed: Brian was diagnosed with MS, beginning a fight that has lasted nearly three decades and ultimately ins
AwareNow 'Innerviews' w/Krystal Duran in 'What Still Grows'
Sometimes the things we care for have a way of caring for us right back. For Krystal Duran, the creative force behind Plants with Krystal, nurturing plants became more than a passion—it became a place to hold grief, rediscover purpose, and connect with thousands of people navigating their own seasons of change.

When life feels too loud, sometimes the simplest act can create the space we need to breathe. In this deeply personal exploration, Allié McGuire reveals how coloring can quiet an anxious mind, restore a sense of agency and reconnect us with the present moment.

Through acceptance, flexibility, and clear-eyed hope, we can move beyond simply reacting to life and become conscious author
