How I Got Unstuck (Buddhability Live in New York)

At the Buddhability Live event in New York, host Cassidy welcomed three inspiring guests who shared how SGI Nichiren Buddhism helped them break through personal and professional stagnation. Kimberly Cadillo, an insurance fraud investigator, recounted how chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo during a period of job dissatisfaction and repeated rejections empowered her to transform her mindset and ultimately land her dream role—despite having no investigative background. Tom Hatton, an actor from England, described how chanting helped him overcome visa challenges and self-doubt, eventually leading to a green card and a career in real estate and media, all while embracing his identity beyond acting. Marco Genovola, a renowned photographer, revealed how chanting helped him heal from a painful childhood marked by abandonment and emotional suppression, leading him to not only launch a successful freelance career but also to reconnect with his estranged father’s family after his death, finding purpose in honoring his father’s legacy. Together, their stories illustrate how Buddhist practice fosters inner transformation, resilience, and the courage to redefine one’s life path.
