Beauty in the Break is a new podcast that explores the powerful moments when life shatters—and the unexpected beauty that follows.
Hosted by public speaker Cesar Cardona & filmmaker and poet Foster Wilson, each episode dives into conversations of healing, transformation and resilience through self-awareness, storytelling and mindfulness. Whether you’re navigating change or seeking inspiration, this series uncovers the common threads that connect us all, to help you achieve personal or professional growth.
Cesar Cardona is a public speaker certified in mindfulness by Rice University. Mentored by Rebecca Armstrong, a storyteller and friend of Joseph Campbell, and shaped by teachings from Sri Lankan and Tibetan Buddhist monks, Cesar weaves timeless wisdom and personal insights to inspire resilience, inclusion, and meaningful connection in every audience.
Foster Wilson is a creative nurturer of magical things, weaving her artistry into film, photography, poetry, and birth work. Her critically-acclaimed career in independent film spans two decades, both in front of and behind the camera.
Her poetry started as a private journey of self-exploration, born out of messy journals and early morning musings, exploring themes of love, loss, motherhood and the yearning for a more vibrant life. Her artistic endeavors are deeply personal, seeking connection and understanding with the human experience in all its messy beauty.
She is a contributor to The Drill Mag and holds a BFA from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.
