"KNOCK KNOCK… WHO’S THERE?"
🚪
What if the thing on the other side of the door… isn’t something you can fix?

We all got “the talk”…
but let’s be honest
No one really taught us anything. 👀
This week on *Other People’s Shoes*, I sit down with Xanet Pailet for a conversation most of us have avoided our entire lives.
Not just about sex…
but about connection 🤝
About disconnection 💔
About what happens when you spend years… even decades… not feeling anything at all.
Xanet Pailet shares what it was like to live in a sexless marriage for 26 years… and what changed…
🗣 What if the thing you’ve been trying to fix… was never the real problem?

For most of his life, Byron Athene believed his stutter was holding him back. It shaped how he saw himself, how he showed up in the world, and the path he believed was available to him.
🚪
Even though he felt drawn to philosophy and psychology, he convinced himself that becoming a therapist wasn’t realistic. His voice, in his mind, disqualified him.

So he stayed safe. 😶 Holding back in conve…
🚪 GOODBYE… but what if it’s the last one?

We say it all the time… “See ya.” “Talk soon.” “Goodbye.” 🚪 But what if that moment… was the moment?

This week on "Other People’s Shoes", I sit down with Kelly Weaver, someone who has stood at life’s doorstep and knows just how real that final goodbye can be. After facing cancer, loss, and a near-death experience, she brings a perspective most of us avoid… but desperately need.

📱 NEW EPISODE: “SMS”
🚪 How many of us have texted while driving? 🚪 Be honest. 🚪 Maybe it’s a quick reply. Maybe you’re changing a song. Maybe you glance down for just a second. 🚪 But what if that second changes someone’s life forever?

This week on Other People’s Shoes, I sit down with Dave Booth, whose life changed in an instant when a teenage driver slammed into him at nearly 75 mph while traffic was backed up.

Ever notice what a simple porch light can mean? 💡🏡

In this episode of Other People’s Shoes, Neil sits down with Dr. Kelly Meyer to unpack the quiet power behind leaving the light on… and why that small signal of welcome can carry so much weight. Inspired by the familiar promise, “We’ll leave the light on for you,” this conversation moves beyond nostalgia and into something deeper: belonging, identity, and the moments in life when someone (or something) is knocking at the door.👀
Full disclosure… my guest Monica McKitterick is a Duke graduate which, as you know, gives me every reason to not like her right out of the gate.
😄👟
But sometimes life sends you something unexpected… like a box on your doorstep you didn’t order. Didn’t ask for. Maybe weren’t even sure you wanted.
And the real question becomes: Do you open it… or leave it sitting there?
📦👀
Together, we peel back self-doubt, loneliness, heartbreak, and the pressure to look successful on the ou…

Inspired by the familiar ache in Hello by Adele, this conversation leans into those moments when we reach out, knock on the door of someone’s life, and feel like no one is home.

Shane shares why…
🙏✨ What happens when God asks you to move… and doesn’t give you a plan? In this episode of Other People’s Shoes, Neil sits down with Stephanie Rivard, who, after 11 years as an Executive Director, did something most of us only talk about — she walked away after hearing God tell her to leave. No roadmap. No safety net. Just obedience. Titled G.O.D. (Gift of Desperation). This conversation explores prayer, learning to recognize God’s voice, and what it looks like to become fully dependent on H…

In this episode of Other People’s Shoes, Neil sits down with Danielle Matthews for a conversation rooted in perspective, hindsight, and the moments that change everything.
👣
Titled “2020,” the episode explores the idea behind the phrase “hindsight is 20/20” how clarity often comes only after life has already made its move. Danielle shares her story of being hit head-on by a drunk driver at 23, an accident that resulted in a traumatic brain injury and altered the course of her life. <…
