A Shot Of Inspiration
In every life, there are moments that break us… and moments that rebuild us.
We all walk through highs and lows, wins and losses, light and dark but sometimes, there’s a moment that changes everything.
On A Shot of Inspiration podcast with host Greg Stephens, we sit down with real people to talk about those moments—the ones that hurt, the ones that shaped them, and the ones that helped them find their way forward.
Because somewhere in their story, you might just find hope for your own.

On a Shot of Inspiration with host: Greg Stephens, guest, Troy Karnes shares how addiction recovery and a rare cancer diagnosis reshaped his approach to growth.

3 Key takeaways :
- Quick fixes fade; consistent nurturing compounds.
- HALT turns overwhelm into doable daily shifts.
- Accountability and honest self-talk protect long-term goals.
