Original Air Date: April 7, 2021

Your life is always speaking to you in whispers, guiding you to your next right step. In many situations, the whisper is also the first warning. It?s a quiet nudge from deep within saying, Hmmm, something feels off. A small voice that tells you, ?This is no longer your place of belonging.? It?s the pit in your stomach, or the pause before you speak. It?s the shiver, the goosebumps that raise the hairs on the back of your neck. Whatever form the whisper takes, it?s not a coincidence. Your life is trying to tell you something. Heeding these signs can open the doors to your personal evolution, pushing you toward your life?s purpose. Ignoring them or sleepwalking through your life, is an invitation to chaos. In this Super Soul podcast, Oprah sits down with such gifted writers and thought leaders as Dani Shapiro, Caroline Myss, Adyashanti, Shauna Niequist, Jon Kabat Zinn, Cheryl Strayed, Pema Chödrön, Amy Purdy, John Lewis, Wes Moore, Kerry Washington and Thomas Moore.

Super Soul Special: Jay Williams: You Can Survive Your Worst Mistake

Original Air Date: April 30th, 2018

Former professional basketball player Jay Williams opens up to Oprah about his near-fatal, career-ending motorcycle crash, his regrets and how he's learned to fulfill his destiny despite those who say he threw it all away. Jay was poised to become one of the biggest superstars in the NBA until his devastating accident brought it all to a heartbreaking halt. After Jay's big mistake cost him his career, his dreams and nearly his life, he began to refocus his energies on overcoming not just the physical challenges of his injuries but also the spiritual and mental hurdles he faced in the aftermath. Jay explains why he says that the worst decision he ever made has turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to him. "I was lost. Basketball had defined me. My accident had defined me. And I had no idea what I wanted to do," Jay tells Oprah. "I don't think it was until later, a couple of years later, until I started going to counseling, started to try to go to church. I put my faith into something bigger."
