Set Back, Then March Forward: By Sarah Dilick
Set Back, Then Forward March is a hopeful, personal story about resilience, leadership, and what truly shapes a future soldier. When my younger brother was passed over for a well-earned JROTC promotion in high school, it felt like a moment that could break his confidence. Instead, it became the turning point that pushed him toward a bigger dream. In this episode, listeners follow his journey from disappointment to determination, and eventually to joining the Army in college. Through honest storytelling, this podcast explores what it means to overcome setbacks, redefine success, and keep moving forward—even when the system says otherwise. A setback started his story—his march forward defines it.
A Virtuous Young Woman: By Nellie Suleymanian
Self discovery is never an easy journey, especially under the watchful eye of the Lord. A proper God fearing young lady should never bear this burden. Every expectation has clearly been laid out for her, and she will see fit that she exceeds said expectations. The Church of Latter Day Saints has assured her that they will guide her on her way, but each Sunday that passes and prayer repeated only leaves her with more questions left unanswered. Stepping away will either affirm her eternal damnation, or lead her to the answers she desires. All music in this episode is by Blue Dot Sessions.
Passion to Preserve: By Naomi Smalls
Plot Twist: I'm that Girl: By Maya Long
“Plot Twist: I’m that Girl” follows the heartfelt journey of Jace, a woman who spent years feeling out of sync with the world and with herself. After growing up believing something was “off”, she finally discovered the truth she’d been circling her whole life: she wasn’t meant to live her assigned birth sex, she was meant to live as her. Jace invites listeners into the messy, yet meaningful, process of transitioning, from emotional breakthroughs to awkward conversations and everything in between. This is a story of courage, self-discovery, and the freedom that comes from embracing your true identity, no matter how long it takes to achieve it. “Plot Twist: I’m that Girl” is a reminder that transformation is rarely simple, often surprising, and absolutely worth it.

It’s a story about risk, resilience, and redefining success on your own terms; proof that sometimes the best wins come from the hardest beginnings. From side hustles and self-doubt to self-made success, The Winning Hand asks: what happens when you stop folding and finally play your cards right?
