We’ve all felt it. that heart-stopping moment when something you desperately want is within reach, only to be snatched away. Stacey and J Sbu explored these “snatch moments,” starting with a young boy at the US Open, his hands outstretched for a player’s cap, only to have it whisked away by another.

Listeners called in with their own tales: Tam lost a job, only to launch a thriving business days later. Katie’s almost-love story rerouted her to a better partner. “Every near miss, every setback… your story isn’t over. It’s just being rerouted,” J Sbu reminded us.

If you missed it live, listen in!
