What if trust isn’t something you “fix,” but something you gently rebuild moment by moment?
In this closing episode of our Healing Together New Year’s mini-series, we reflect on where The Endurant Movement is going next, and why trust is at the heart of everything ahead. From trusting your body and intuition, to trusting relationships and life itself after loss, this conversation invites you to slow down, reflect, and honor how far you’ve come. A powerful pause before stepping into 2026 together.

So many of us are carrying heavy stories alone. This episode centers on the power of community, what it means to ask for help, to receive support long after a crisis has passed, and to let go of the idea that we’re supposed to handle grief by ourselves. Samara and Neal reflect on how connection, presence, and shared humanity can transform pain into something more bearable and even meaningful.

In this New Year’s mini-series episode, Neal and Samara look back on Season One of The Endurant Show sharing what they’ve learned about healing that isn’t linear, emotions that don’t cancel each other out, and why presence matters more than having the right words. They close with three simple, powerful practices you can carry into 2026 to build trust, resilience, and deeper connection one micro-moment at a time.

When “success” stops working: Former sports executive Eric Kussin shares the moment his “dream job” collided with a mental health crash and how that breakdown became the beginning of a new kind of healing. From trauma and stress in the body to nervous system education, this episode reframes mental health as something we all have and can learn to care for.

Three teens get real about what it’s like when stress and anxiety feel totally out of control and the simple things that actually help: walks, music, journaling, and honest talks with people you trust. Real Friends, Real Anxiety, Real Talk

What does it really mean to be “there” for a friend who’s struggling? In this conversation, teens open up about being the safe space in their friend group, how to check in over time (not just once), and why you’re not responsible for “saving” anyone. They break down healthy boundaries, toxic dependency, and how powerful it is to simply say, “I’m here, tell me what’s going on.

What if grief isn’t the enemy, but “the hand of a friend”? In this tender conversation, Neil and Jerry Colonna (author of Reboot and Reunion) talk about navigating depression, and the pressure to be “strong” again. They dig into black and white thinking, why our world feels like it’s at war with empathy, and how honesty not perfection is what our kids and teams really need from us. This episode is an invitation to feel it all and still lead with heart.

In this powerful episode of Teen Voices, Kai opens up about losing his friend Anthony and the profound ways grief reshaped him. Through tender stories of their friendship and the values Anthony embodied, Kai reflects on learning to appreciate life’s smallest moments, sit honestly with difficult emotions, and surround himself with people who truly care. This conversation is a raw, moving reminder that grief never disappears, our lives simply grow around it and that healing is possible when we allow ourselves to connect, share, and be seen. A comforting listen for anyone navigating loss or longing for hope.
