Episode Synopsis

In January 2025, a wildfire tore through California and took everything from Antonio Neves. His home, neighborhood, kids' school, and community. In this deeply personal comeback episode, Antonio opens up for the first time about what it was like to lose everything, and what it taught him about rebuilding, gratitude, and what really matters. He shares how his family went from heartbreak and uncertainty to finding unexpected connection in a tiny rental home. And how, months later, that same loss made space for a lifelong dream: spending a month in Portugal together. This isn't a story about tragedy. It's about responsibility, resilience, and remembering that even when life burns down what you built, you still have the power to begin again. You'll hear: What Antonio learned from telling his 8-year-old twins they'd lost their home How pain and optimism can coexist The hidden gifts that come when everything familiar disappears Why "perfect timing" is a myth and how to start living now If you've ever faced a reset you didn't choose, this episode will remind you: the best isn't behind you.
