When life unexpectedly changes, how do you show up for the one you love without losing yourself?

In this deeply personal episode, Nell steps away from scheduled programming to share her real-time experience supporting her husband through the sudden loss of his mother. Recorded on Thanksgiving Eve, Nell opens up about grief, resilience, nostalgia, and the quiet power of simply being there.

Whether you’re going through loss yourself or trying to support someone who is, Nell offers honest insights from the heart, unfiltered, raw, and full of compassion.

This isn't a "how-to" on grief. It’s a moment of truth in the middle of life’s hardest moments—about what it looks like to hold space for a loved one, maintain some sense of normalcy, and take care of yourself along the way.

Steven's career started as a newscaster/interviewer for the #1 youth news show in the DC/Baltimore market (on WTTG-TV) and then as a junior software engineer & Thomas J. Watson Scholar at IBM. After attending USC in Los Angeles, he began working in film production and produced computer-generated visual effects for 14 movies including Independence Day which won the Academy Award for Visual Effects.

Steven’s first tech company was Centropolis Effects that produced those CGI effects, and he eventually sold it to the German media conglomerate Das Werk when he was 28. Steven then produced some indie films and eventually went studio-side to develop and produce live-action features as a VP of Development & Production at 20th Century Fox (running the Die

Hard and Wolverine franchises) and an EVP at DreamWorks Pictures for Kurtzman-Orci Productions where he worked on Star Trek, Transformers and more.

After Fox, Steven returned to building tech companies and founded The Sukha Company - ‘sukha’ means ‘happiness from self-fulfillment’ in Sanskrit. The Sukha is a focus app that bundles all the tools necessary to have a focused experience and a healthy, productive workday.
