WHEN Stories Radio Network
WHEN Everything Changed…
Welcome to the WHEN Stories Radio Network.
The WHEN Stories Radio Network is a curated broadcast platform documenting the moments that change everything — when lived experience becomes authority, and a story is formally placed on record.
Hosted by Wendy Babcock and the Certified WHEN Stories Facilitators, each broadcast features women who have taken the WHEN Stories stage to share a defining moment from their life or business. These are not guest interviews or open submissions. Every story you hear has been intentionally developed, delivered live on stage, and professionally documented as part of the WHEN Stories experience.
Each broadcast includes an authority-framing conversation followed by the speaker’s live stage story — preserving the moment their work, voice, and message became visible in a permanent way.
The WHEN Stories Radio Network exists to honor transformation, resilience, and leadership — not as inspiration alone, but as legacy. These stories are archived as part of a growing public record, reminding us that impact doesn’t just happen… it’s claimed, spoken, and preserved.
Listen to broadcasts that move beyond motivation and into meaning.
Stories that don’t disappear after the applause fades.
Stories that live on.
This is WHEN Stories. On record.
All broadcasts originate from the WHEN Stories stage.

Content Warning: This inspiring story may include sensitive topics that could be triggering for some individuals. Viewer discretion is advised.
In "From Survival to WORTHY," Jim Plasky shares a deeply personal story of growing up in a traumatic, unpredictable home — where survival meant becoming invisible long before childhood should require it. He carried that armor into adulthood and into emergency medicine, where he thrived in chaos while quietly avoiding his own pain.
But the chaos of a hospital system eventually became its own kind of cage. Constraints, quotas, and a culture that treated patients as diagnoses pushed Jim to make a decision most clinicians only dream about: walk away and build something better.
That decision became Revitalize Health and Wellness — a clinic Jim founded on a radical idea: that whole-person care isn't a bonus feature, it's the whole point. No rushed appointments. No checkbox medicine. Just a provider who has done his own healing work showing up fully for patients who deserve the same. Jim built the practice he wished had existed when he needed it most.
James "Jim" Plasky is a nurse practitioner, clinic owner, trauma survivor, and storyteller. Trained in medicine and shaped by lived experience, he has spent his career caring for bodies while learning how to heal a soul that grew up inside trauma, silence, and abandonment. He lectures nationally to nurse practitioner students with an emphasis on compassion, presence, and trauma-informed care — and speaks openly about the burnout that hides behind professional success.
Jim is the author of Worthy: A Journey from Survival to Healing and the founder of The Worthy Initiative, a platform for trauma-informed education and healing-centered conversation.
His message: you are not broken, you are becoming.
