Every Story Has a Spark of Strength.

Sometimes the perspective that changes us comes from hearing how someone else found their way through.

The Journey With Rita Podcast is about resilience, transformation, and the stories that shape who we become. Through honest conversations with thought leaders, experts, and everyday people with extraordinary stories, we explore what it really looks like to navigate change, move through adversity, reinvent ourselves, and build lives with greater intention.

I’m endlessly curious about what makes people resilient—not just how we survive the hard chapters, but what we learn from them, how they change us, and who we choose to become because of them.

But this journey is personal for me, too.

Life has asked me to rebuild and reinvent myself more than once—through illness, motherhood, career changes, loss, and unexpected chapters that changed the way I see myself and the world around me. Along the way, I’ve learned a lot about resilience, perspective, gratitude, identity, and what it means to begin again.

So alongside the conversations you’ll hear on this podcast, I also share reflections and lessons from my own journey. Each conversation is an opportunity to borrow someone else’s wisdom, discover a new perspective, and perhaps recognize a little more of our own strength along the way.

Come take the journey with me.
