In this Scars to Stars episode, I sit down with Irina Baker—founder of the Radiant Connections Network—for a powerful conversation about what happens when you “change everything” on the outside… and still feel broken on the inside.

Irina shares her journey from the former Soviet Union to America, and the unexpected truth she discovered: location doesn’t heal pain—inner work does.

We talk about hopelessness, spiritual awakening, and how purpose can become the lifeline that keeps you here when you don’t want to be. Whether you’re navigating darkness, searching for meaning, or craving a new way forward, this episode is a reminder that you’re not alone—and there is another chapter after the hard part.
