A Forged Life
Welcome to A Forged Life, formerly The WorthPlace Collective Podcast.
This podcast is a space for those who spend their lives helping others — coaches, clergy, counselors, leaders, caregivers, and the many people who carry responsibility for the well-being of others.
I’m Kevin Parido, and through conversations, reflections, and stories, we’ll explore what it means to live a forged life — a life shaped with intention, purpose, and endurance. Drawing from both my coaching work and my work as a bladesmith, we’ll lean into the living metaphor of the forge: how we are heated, shaped, refined, strengthened, and sharpened over time.
Together, we’ll talk about burnout, purpose, leadership, resilience, calling, and the work of becoming who we are meant to be while helping others do the same.
I’m grateful you’re here, and I hope you’ll join me on this journey.

O Me! O Life!
BY WALT WHITMAN
Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d,
Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,
Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,
The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?
Answer.
That you are here—that life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.
