BURSTING THROUGH ON AIR

LEFT FOR DEAD & CHOSSEN FOR LIFE

Bursting Through founder Steve Petersen sits down with Robert Banghart to explore addiction, recovery, and the power of human connection. Robert shares how surviving homelessness and violence reshaped his life—and why Allyship, empathy, and community are critical to healing.

STAY STRONG & CHOOSE KINDNESS

Bursting Through founder Steve Petersen sits down with Mya Gilcrist, founder of the Mya Strong Foundation, to talk about resilience, hope, and the power of showing up. Mya shares how her childhood battle with brain cancer shaped her commitment to helping others, and how choosing kindness can create real change.

JUST KEEP GOING.

Bursting Through founder Steve Petersen sits down with Joslynn Bigelow, founder of Say How Consulting, disability advocate, and leader in adaptive sports. Together, they explore how Allyship shows up on and off the field, what true inclusion looks like, and the powerful impact of moving from “we can’t” to “here’s how.”

YES, PLEASE. MORE OF THAT!

Bursting Through founder Steve Petersen sits down with Leo Caldwell, educator, artist, and creator of Trans Collective, for a heartfelt conversation about what it truly means to show up for one another. Leo shares how storytelling, compassion, and everyday acts of courage can create belonging, amplify voices, and inspire real Allyship.

Bursting Through: A media company turning intention into action

 Bursting Through isn’t a nonprofit—it’s a storytelling movement and media company for marginalized communities and their Allies across the United States. We began through the lens of LGBTQ+ Allyship, but our work has evolved to embrace all communities too often silenced, dismissed, or pushed aside.

As a media company, we use storytelling to spark courageous conversations, grow compassion, and ignite change. Bursting Through partners with individuals and companies ready to turn intention into action and co-create a culture rooted in our shared human experience.
