On this powerful episode of Chasing Joy, Spencer, Bryan and Wayne sit with someone whose transformation has unfolded right in front of them… Spencer’s daughter, Brittany Phillips. Brittany opens up about her journey through addiction, family chaos and the difficult work of rebuilding a self rooted in honesty, vulnerability and contentment.

She shares how recovery helped her break old patterns, confront hard truths and discover a deeper sense of contentment than she’s ever known. The conversation is heartfelt, sometimes funny, and always real… touching on forgiveness, identity, the 12 Steps, and the courage it takes to begin again.

Whether you’re in your own season of struggle or looking for grounded inspiration, Brittany’s story offers hope, clarity and the reminder that joy can grow in even the most fragile places.

Welcome back to Chasing Joy. In this episode, we sit down again with the luminous Shelby Figueroa… healer, musician, and one of the few people who can drop a room’s blood pressure with a single song.

She comes back to dig even deeper into the real meaning of self care… not the commercial version we’re handed, but the kind that pulls us back into our bodies, our creativity, and our connection with each other. Together, we explore why the word health carries so much baggage, how creativity can become a lifeline, and why sharing something you’ve made can feel like an act of courage.

Shelby also reveals her new Creative Circle — an open space for music, poetry, drawing, and anything else that brings people back to themselves. It’s adult show and tell, but with soul.

This conversation moves from laughter to honesty to those moments where something slows down and everyone remembers what it means to be human. If you’ve been feeling disconnected… overwhelmed… or stuck in the “I’ll get healthy tomorrow” loop, this episode is a gentle doorway back to joy.

Tune in, sit with us, and let Shelby’s presence remind you that self care isn’t a task list… it’s an invitation.

In “Fragile Future,” Spencer, Bryan, and Wayne reflect on the season’s biggest themes... from healing and purpose to the messy beauty of uncertainty. They unpack why not knowing often feels harder than bad news, and how anxiety, control, and the endless what-ifs keep us stuck in survival mode.

Through humor, honesty, and real-life reflection, the crew explores how awe, curiosity, and mindful pauses can help us meet change with creativity and peace.

If you’ve ever struggled to stay grounded when life feels unpredictable, this conversation is your reminder that even in chaos, joy — and a little grace — are still within reach.
