Welcome back to the Yes We Can podcast! 🎙️ In this episode, host Kira Andersen sits down with her dear friend Aaron Mead to discuss his incredible journey of addiction, recovery, and transformation. Aaron, a St. Louis native and co-founder of Three Degrees, shares his story of growing up feeling out of place, battling alcoholism from a young age, and ultimately finding hope and healing.

He candidly reflects on the impact of his upbringing, his struggles with self-identity, and the point at which he realized he needed to change. Today, Aaron is an advocate for wellness and the power of holistic health through contrast therapy and breathwork, which have been instrumental in his recovery and overall well-being.
Kira and Aaron also discuss the importance of addressing the underlying causes of addiction, the power of community, and how sharing stories like his can inspire others to seek help. Aaron’s journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the ability to turn pain into purpose.

Wednesday Sep 25, 2024
Welcome back to the Yes We Can podcast! 🎙️ In this episode, host Kira Andersen sits down with her friend, Mary Caltrider, the lively and talented host of Show Me St. Louis on Channel 5. Mary has a fascinating journey from her roots in Carmel, Indiana, to becoming a TV host in St. Louis. She opens up about her path to television, the challenges of working as a news reporter, and what it takes to succeed in the fast-paced world of broadcast media.
Mary shares her background in theater and how she found herself drawn to television, despite originally not seeing herself in the news industry. From college at Purdue University to working in South Bend, Indiana, as a solo news reporter during the pandemic, Mary details the ups and downs of working in smaller markets, the anxieties of covering crime scenes alone, and how these experiences helped shape her career and strengthen her resilience.
Kira and Mary also reflect on the perception that being in the spotlight comes easy, when in reality, everyone has a story of hard work and persistence. Mary’s journey is one of growth, self-discovery, and finding her way in the world of media, all while staying grounded and focused on mental health.
Join us for an uplifting conversation filled with insights on the power of perseverance and the importance of advocating for yourself, especially in challenging industries. Mary’s story is proof that success doesn’t come without hard work, and the lessons learned in the trenches are the ones that shape us the most.
