Get to know Awakenings In Real Life -Episodes Drop January 13, 2026
Get to know the “Awakenings In Real Life” podcast which tells inspiring stories of transformation, meaning and hope. The premiere episode features his Dad’s awakening from his dementia and the message he sends that he still appreciates and lives life. While we typically think of an Awakening as a “Getting Up” or “Spiritual” or “Religious” in nature, an “Awakening” is also an awareness, recognition or realization of something. Dan will share stories of people triumphing over bullying, addiction, disability, illness, trauma, loss, near death experiences and more. He’s also written a companion book, and he hopes you will also find that, so you can hear awakenings from his family that involve stories of enlightenment, lessons learned, deep understandings, and personal growth. Dan is also a speaker and screenwriter.
