THEE BIG SWING with Lloyd Hassell

There's a moment before everything changes — a conversation, a decision, a thing you almost didn't say — that you don't recognize until you're looking back at it. This is a reflective podcast about those moments: the emotional reckonings and quiet internal recalibrations that change our trajectory over time, and the possibilities still available in life. Each episode explores what happens when curiosity, courage, accountability, or reflection opens a new way of seeing ourselves and the world. Through personal reflections and thoughtful conversations, Lloyd and occasional guests explore changing identities, relationships, and the quiet decisions that alter how we see ourselves and our lives over time. The biggest swing isn't always dramatic. Often, it's the shift inside that changes everything.

  She Knew Before I Told Her

  <p>Two weeks ago, a friend told her story - 361 pounds to 172, GLP, surgeries, a fight she never let show on her face. </p><p>What I didn't tell you then was what I actually thought when I met her. </p><p>This week, I go back to that beginning — and to something that happened in a dentist's chair today that cracked it wide open. </p><p>She knew before I told her.

  The Weight She Didn't See

  Jul 24, 202624 minS0

  <p>She never noticed the weight coming on. </p><p>Not really - her clothes grew with her, her confidence never dipped, and by her own account she wore it well. Then a routine pre-surgery exam found something she hadn't seen coming either. </p><p>She talks with Lloyd about the difference between confidence and awareness, the day everything she'd been avoiding finally had a name, and the ordinary chair in an ice cream parlor that told her more about how far she'd come than any scale ever did.</p><p><b>After listening: </b>read the companion reflection inspired by...

  The Strangers We Let In

  Jun 26, 202610 minS0

  <p>Today started as the first time I sat down to record and did not know exactly what I wanted to say.</p><p>But maybe that was the point.</p><p>In this episode of THEE BIG SWING, I reflect on two very different encounters: one conversation that felt more like being questioned than being known, and another with an 80-year-old woman who slowly let her guard down and reminded me how rich human connection can be.</p><p>Everybody starts as a stranger. The question is whether we are willing to move past the surface long enough to...
