Everyday Heroes

Season 8 Episode 16 | 26m 14s

Some moments reveal the quiet power of showing up. John’s life shifts when a teacher sees what no one else does, giving him a reason to stay in school; first-time mom Rachel learns to fight for her blind, neurodivergent son; and Harold finds his way to healing while guided by voices along the road to sobriety. Three storytellers, three interpretations of EVERYDAY HEROES, hosted by Wes Hazard.

Aired: 04/27/25
Stories from the Stage is a collaboration of WORLD and GBH.
Extras
Love changes. People leave. Time moves on. But some love leaves a mark that lasts.
We’re taught to protect the heart – until love asks us to lead with it
Truth can be more unbelievable than anything imagined.
Sometimes, determination calls for creativity.
The path to – and through – motherhood is rarely a straight line.
Sometimes what guides us most feels as natural as breathing.
Not all gifts come neatly wrapped or arrive when we expect them.
Love is rarely simple, and it almost never looks the way we imagine it will.
What is home? A house filled with memory? A country we long for? A person we can’t live without?
Life delivers moments that are so strange, so charged, they linger long after they’ve passed.
