Narcolepsy is often misunderstood, reduced to punchlines about “falling asleep anywhere.” For Michelle Weger, it reshaped her life completely, rerouting her from the dream of becoming a neurosurgeon to building a multi-million-dollar business engineered around rest, resilience, and radical systems thinking. Alongside her Great Dane service dog, Quinn, Michelle is redefining what it means to live—and thrive—with an invisible disability.Featured in 'The Edge Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.comGuest: Michelle WegerHost: Allié McGuireMusic by: Veaceslav DraganovProduced by: AwareNow Media
Some houses whisper, but in Todd Brown’s debut novel When Shadows Burn, the past doesn’t whisper — it screams. Set in a small Southern town with secrets as heavy as its history, this Southern Gothic thriller explores identity, silence, and the cost of truth. Today, we step into the shadows of Raven’s Cross with the author himself, to uncover the artistry and intention behind a story that feels hauntingly real.Featured in 'The Edge Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.comGuest: Todd BrownHost: Allié McGuireMusic by: Roie ShpiglerProduced by: AwareNow Media
When you sit down with Jenny Olson, you don’t just hear a story—you feel it. A mother who’s walked through the unthinkable, she’s turned heartbreak into hope through her words, her book, and her voice on countless stages. Today, we speak not just about pediatric cancer, but about courage, love, and the fierce strength that comes only from being a mom.Featured in 'The Edge Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.comGuest: Jenny OlsonHost: Allié McGuireMusic by: Laurel VioletProduced by: AwareNow Media
Art often lives at the edge—between what’s seen and unseen, past and present, concept and emotion. For Sima and me, that edge is also personal. We both share a love of art and the reality of living with multiple sclerosis. MS doesn’t define us, but it does sharpen our perspective—on patience, on resilience, and on the value of spaces that hold more than meets the eye. This is Sima’s story: where it began, how it shifted, and how she continues to curate both collections and meaning at the edge of art and life.Featured in 'The Edge Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.comGuest: Sima FamilantHost: Allié McGuireMusic by: Jupiter SandsProduced by: AwareNow Media
Creativity isn’t always a straight line — sometimes it’s a storm, sometimes it’s a spark, and sometimes it’s both at once. Today I’m joined by someone who knows that tension well: Nick Harauz, a creative technologist, educator, and storyteller who has spent over two decades shaping the way we see and share ideas.Featured in 'The Edge Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.com
When a story about autism is told without autistic voices, it often falls flat or feeds stereotypes. Once More Like Rain Man changes that, with Bella Zoe Martinez not only writing the script but also bringing it to life on screen. In this conversation, Bella and I sit down for real talk about what it means to rewrite the narrative on autism, inclusion, and authenticity.Featured in 'The Edge Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.comGuest: Ryan GuzmanHost: Allié McGuireMusic by: NobouProduced by: AwareNow Media
There are some stories that aren’t just told—they’re lived, rewritten, and embodied. Sitting down with Darwin Del Fabro felt less like an interview and more like a shared moment of reflection between two people who’ve spent time on the margins, now meeting in the middle with open hearts. In this conversation, Darwin speaks not only as an artist but as a trans woman who is still becoming—truthfully, powerfully, and unapologetically.Featured in 'The Edge Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.comGuest: Darwin Del FabroHost: Allié McGuireMusic by: Roie ShpiglerProduced by: AwareNow Media
From the shadows of his bedroom studio in Milwaukee to the vibrant music scene of Chicago, GREYISHERE has been building more than just a sound—he’s been building a movement. With original production, fearless vulnerability, and a genre-blurring approach, GREYISHERE is pushing the boundaries as a music artist. At the heart of it all is his unshakable message: music is a lifeline for mental health and a rallying cry for those navigating the storm.Featured in 'The Edge Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.comGuest: GREYISHEREHost: Allié McGuireMusic by: GREYISHEREProduced by: AwareNow Media
Words are more than sounds strung together—they’re colors painted across the canvas of our conversations. For Yrmis Barroeta, language is both a palette and a mirror, revealing not just how we communicate, but who we are becoming. In this dialogue, we explore the artistry of expression, the shades of selfhood, and the power of speaking with impact.Featured in 'The Edge Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.comGuest: Yrmis BarroetaHost: Allié McGuireMusic by: Yehezkel RazProduced by: AwareNow Media
Connection runs like a thread through Ryan Guzman’s story—whether navigating his Mexican American heritage, building community on and off set, or stepping into the role of Eddie Diaz on ABC's drama series 9-1-1 with empathy and authenticity. In our conversation, my questions opened the door to reflections on identity, resilience, and legacy, and his responses revealed a man shaped as much by family and culture as by fame. What emerged was not just an interview, but an invitation to see greatness not in spotlight or status, but in the connections we hold and the love we share.Featured in 'The Edge Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.comGuest: Ryan GuzmanHost: Allié McGuireMusic by: Laurel VioletProduced by: AwareNow Media

Some stories stay with you—not because they’re easy to hear, but because they change the way you see the world. Brett Staples was more than his diagnosis. He was a son, a friend, a light in the room… and when that light dimmed, his father, Bob, refused to let it go quietly. This is a story about love that refuses to fade, grief that refuses to stay silent, and a mission to make sure that what happened to Brett doesn’t happen in vain.Featured in 'The Sports Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.comGuest: Bob StaplesHost: Allié McGuireMusic by: DaniHaDaniProduced by: AwareNow Media
Some people design experiences you see. Bobby Chang designs experiences you feel. As VP of Design and Business Development for Ark Dynamics, he’s reimagining what motion simulation can do—not just for entertainment, but for emotional resonance and therapeutic breakthroughs. Today, we meet for the first time to explore how the fusion of movement and emotion might just change the way we play, heal, and connect.Featured in 'The Sports Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.comGuest: Bobby ChangHost: Allié McGuireMusic by: Yehezkel RazProduced by: AwareNow Media
Captain Zachary "Zac" Singer is the founder of Sail MS, a nonprofit born from his own journey with multiple sclerosis. A licensed tugboat captain with a life spent at sea, Zac transformed his diagnosis into a mission—using the power of sailing to offer freedom, connection, and healing to others with MS. Through Sail MS, he merges maritime skill with deep purpose, helping others navigate their own uncharted waters.Featured in 'The Sports Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.comGuest: Zac SingerHost: Allié McGuireMusic by: Yehezkel RazProduced by: AwareNow Media
Desmond “Dez” Clark is a former NFL tight end turned visionary entrepreneur and motivational speaker who now leads Bear Down Logistics with the same relentlessness that defined his football career. Embracing a top‑1% mindset, Dez believes that true impact isn’t measured in applause—it’s forged through relentless preparation, process, and purpose.Featured in 'The Sports Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.comGuest: Desmond ClarkHost: Allié McGuireMusic by: Sparrow TreeProduced by: AwareNow Media
We’ve all been told to "find our voice"—but what if we were never taught how? CC Rice, a master voice and body language expert, invites us not just to speak louder, but to speak truer. In this conversation, we explore the power, pain, and possibility of what it means to reclaim the voice we were born with—and how doing so might just set us free.Featured in 'The Sports Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.comGuest: CC RiceHost: Allié McGuireMusic by: MutedProduced by: AwareNow Media
For more than a decade, Tri Bourne chased greatness on the beach—rising through the ranks as a professional beach volleyball player and representing Team USA in the Olympics, and redefining what resilience looks like in sport. But this isn’t just a story about volleyball. It’s about grit and grace, about the power of choosing your moment instead of letting the moment choose you. In this conversation, we look back on the climb, sit with the weight of the goodbye, and look ahead to what comes after the game—fatherhood, freedom, and the fire that still burns.Featured in 'The Sports Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.comGuest: Tri BourneHost: Allié McGuireMusic by: Ardie SonProduced by: AwareNow Media
