Epic Begins Now: Zander Sprague on Grief, Growth & the Power of One Step

In this inspiring episode of Inner Light, host Avik Chakraborty welcomes Zander Sprague—Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, sibling grief advocate, and author of Epic Begins with One Step Forward. Zander shares how one intentional step can lead to epic transformation, even in the face of deep grief and personal challenges. Drawing from his own journey and clinical experience, he unpacks the power of “Not Yet,” the 97/3 Rule for daily mindset shifts, and why structure—not motivation—is key to lasting change.

This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone stuck, grieving silently, or seeking purpose. Whether you're starting a new chapter or rebuilding after loss, Zander’s insights offer clarity, compassion, and practical tools to move forward—one step at a time.
