You Are Here
We all spend time in the dark. We play the roles expected of us, chase titles that don't fulfill us, and build our identities around shadows on a wall. But what happens when you finally realize the life you are living isn't really yours?
Welcome to You Are Here, hosted by Dr. Christopher S. Taylor. Each episode, Dr. Taylor sits down with a real person carrying a real story — someone who has faced the darkness of the cave and made the difficult, courageous climb toward the light. Together, they explore the profound questions we all wrestle with: Who am I? What is my purpose? How do I find meaning when everything I thought defined me no longer fits?
Drawing on existential philosophy, decades of clinical experience, and the raw, unfiltered truth of human transformation, You Are Here is more than a podcast. It is a process for purpose. A front-row seat to the most important journey a person can take — the one back to themselves.
The door is right behind you, wide open. All you have to do is walk through it.

I’m a night owl. I love the night. The cool darkness of it. I find I am most creative in the late hours of the evening. And if I had my way, I would sleep in every day and stay up late. Life has a different plan for me, though. My struggle is getting up in the morning. I am a snooze button machine. I love those extra ten minutes of snooze heaven.
As a kid, I got in trouble a lot trying to sneak some TV after bedtime. In college, I skipped more eight AM classes than I can count, had to drop a few courses as well. But now, as an adult, with a company to run and kids to raise I have lost the luxury of sleeping. Yet, the struggle remains.
