Andy’s Substack Podcast

Marit Welker LLC: Christian Speaker and Coach Her experience of chronic pain, depression, illness, anxiety, and living in a victim mentality helps her connect with even the lowest of participant emotions. Her transformations lift and inspire these women as she guides them toward more strength, joy, and peace through change. She shows them the possibility. She preaches the love of God. She openly offers her own experience, as an example of what not to do as well as what to do.Marit overcame cancer, brain injury, and bad relationships. She blamed her mother for her own pain and pulled away, but not completely. When her son walked away, she lost 5 family members. But Marit learned valuable lessons from each of these experiences. She made mistakes. And she got through with the grace and miracles of God. She’ll inspire, motivate, and help your audience move forward as they process their own situations and experience their own transformation. Marit know how to skillfully move the audience to listen, toward a single moment. A moment of change. Her audiences don’t leave with notes. They leave sure of one thing: who they are in Christ. And that changes everything else.When I was younger, I emotionally rejected my own mother. I blamed her. I lived far away and cherished my resentment. We rarely talked or visited. And even when she helped me after my babies were born, all I did was take offense, despite her obvious signs of love. I even asked her to leave my house once. And I’m not proud. Years later, my child cut me off and completely removed me and their family from my life. I also lost their spouse and my grandchildren that day. By God’s grace, both relationships have been happily restored. I walked through fire to get there. And what I learned—about my child’s perspective, about my own blind spots, about how to find solid ground when everything feels like quicksand—changed everything. Now I help other Christian mothers navigate this pain. #MaritWelker#WeAreStillHere#ChildrenProject#MaritWelkerPhotography#StillHere#ChildAdvocacy#VoicesOfChildren#SocialAwareness#FutureGenerations#ChildhoodUnplugged#ChildrensRightshttps://maritwelker.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/maritwelker https://www.instagram.com/maritwelkerspeakerandcoach/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/1849865308431914/ This is a public episode.

Anne Marie RichardsonAuthor, Spiritual Director, Workshop Presenter, Leader of Not Alone Groups.You Are Not Alone. And You Were Never Meant to Heal Alone. Christ-Centered Healing and Training for Trauma Recovery. If you’ve experienced trauma and long for healing that goes deeper than words—If you’re a spiritual director who wants to walk alongside survivors with wisdom and compassion— this is the place for you.I have been a Christ follower all my life. Through a mid-life crisis, is where I drew much closer God. The pain I felt led me to therapy where I discovered how my childhood wounds affected me. I was molested by my friend’s father as a little girl. Although therapy was necessary and insightful, deeper healing has come from God by engaging in spiritual practices. After a time of healing, I started sharing my story and then other survivors shared their stories with me. Gathering these stories, with permission, along with many spiritual practices that heal, I wrote two books, called Not Alone. My passion is to see survivors become freer internally, to be the person God created them to be. Some years ago, I was searching for a deeper relationship with God. I felt something was missing and that there was more meaning to life. This led me to Spiritual Direction, where I discovered how much God truly loves and desires an intimate relationship with me. After retiring as an audiologist, I became certified as a Spiritual Director. I moved from helping people hear their external world to listening to their internal world. I approach spiritual direction more like spiritual companionship, offering encouragement and listening, and asking open-ended questions to help one draw closer to God. I know what it is like to long for a deeper relationship with God. I know what it is like to long for deeper healing and freedom from trauma. There is hope for you. Please contact me to come alongside you on your journey with God.https://www.annemarierichardson.com/https://www.facebook.com/annenotalone/ http://amazon.com/author/richardsonanne* #SurvivorEquity#TraumaInformedOutreach#HealingJustice#BreakingTheSilence#InclusiveHealing#AnneRichardsonLive#AccessibleRecovery#NeurodivergentHealing#TraumaAndDisability#SpoonieSurvivors#InvisibleDisabilities#AdaptiveHealing This is a public episode.

I’ve known the thrill of breaking records and the heartbreak of losing everything, including my son, years in children’s hospitals with my daughter, breast cancer, divorce, and financial collapse. Through it all, God kept teaching me one truth: Don’t stop showing up for hope. My story isn’t just about survival — it’s about restoration, faith, and discovering that God never wastes a single storm.

I’m Angie P — a Purpose Life Coach, motivational speaker, and a woman who literally got a second chance at life. In May 2020, I died and was brought back to life. That moment changed everything for me. I realized God wasn’t done with me yet — I was still here for a reason. I’ve battled through depression, anxiety, addiction, and moments where I didn’t think I’d make it. But through faith, prayer, and gratitude, I learned that my pain had a purpose. Today, I use my story to help others find hope, healing, and alignment with their God-given calling. Key Topics I Speak On: The Day God Gave Me a Second Chance: I share the moment I flatlined and how it opened my eyes to the reality that life is fragile but full of grace. I want listeners to know that no matter how dark it gets, there’s always light — and sometimes it takes losing everything to find who you really are. From Broken to Breakthrough: I talk about what it felt like to live in constant anxiety and depression, and how God walked me out of that pit. Healing doesn’t happen overnight — it happens when you start choosing hope, one day at a time. Finding Purpose After Pain: I believe pain is the birthplace of purpose. I share how I discovered mine through my healing journey and how others can too. It’s all about shifting from ‘Why me?’ to ‘What is God showing me?’ Faith as My Foundation: Faith is what carried me through. When I invited God into my healing process, everything changed. My peace, strength, and purpose all started with surrender. @https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61579911753681&instagram.com/angie.p.speaks tiktok.com/@angie.p.speaksyoutube.com/@angie.p.speaks#TheRideOfHopeAndResilience#angiepeachyou #RideWithAngieP#AngieAcrossAmerica#Hope#Resilience#Inspiration#Motivation#Mindset This is a public episode.

Dr. Aaron Chapa’s journey toward health and wellness began at a young age. Struggling with his weight in eighth grade, he made the life-changing decision to eliminate sugar, shedding 45 pounds over one summer. This experience ignited his passion for nutrition and living a healthy lifestyle. However, it was during his freshman year in college, when Dr. Chapa held his father in his final moments after a sudden heart attack, that his mission became clear. Realizing how the traditional medical system had failed his father with inadequate cardiovascular care, Dr. Chapa committed his life to exploring how proper nutrition, mental wellness, and daily healthy practices can truly heal the body at a cellular level. A graduate of Texas Chiropractic College, Dr. Chapa and his wife founded Living Well Clinical Nutrition Center in 2007. Starting with humble beginnings and their first child in tow, they sought to help people achieve wellness without relying on drugs or surgery. Their family has embraced a natural lifestyle—opting for home births, no vaccinations, and no pharmaceutical drugs—reflecting the very principles Dr. Chapa teaches his patients daily. With over 20 years of dedicated study under the guidance of some of the leading minds in functional wellness, Dr. Chapa has committed himself to educating others on the profound impact of cellular health. His mantra, “All life starts and stops at the cellular level,” embodies his approach to holistic healing. Today, Dr. Chapa resides in League City, Texas, where he enjoys spending time with his wife and four children while deepening his relationship with Jesus Christ. His life’s work continues to be centered on empowering others to live well through the principles of functional nutrition and natural health.

In 2006 he lost his mother, in 2009 he lost his sister, in 2018 he lost his father and in 2022 he lost his brother. Instead of allowing those experiences to take him to a place of depression and hopelessness, he used them to inspire, empower and motivate himself, which later turned into a voice that does the same for others. Over a decade ago, SIR weighed 525 pounds and after leaving so many years behind, he finally started to live one. One day, he finally came to the realization that if God continued to wake him up, he would take each day one day at a time. Sir began a painful transformation, where the negativity he experienced was converted and his tragedy transformed into triumph. In 2022, he delivered his first TEDx Talk at his alma mater, Bowling Green State University. He shared how “creativity is the fuel that powers both rich and poor alike and when we empower people with freedom for ideas, they are able to use their imagination toward new discoveries that can benefit society”.

She has pioneered a culturally sensitive, accessible, and innovative self-care app designed to support women with evidence-based, integrative wellness solutions tailored to their unique needs. I bring my personal struggles as a perimenopausal woman navigating corporate America, where I faced firsthand the lack of workplace resources and support for women going through this transition. Inspired by my own journey, I designed a holistic self-care and expert-assisted care platform to break the silence around menopause and ensure that this once-taboo topic is discussed openly.

Throughout the corridors of history, we have seen many leaders, charismatic and otherwise, having tremendous influence and impact on the lives of many. None more than our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. He has revolutionised and rewritten the very foundation of the tenets of Discipleship; he has mastered the virtuosity of servant leadership, not by doctrine or words of endearment, but by example. This video serves to remind us of our Christian commitment and purpose, that we have a commission and a command to make disciples of men, from every persuasion. The Scriptures invite us to bear much fruit, thereby glorifying the Father through the Son; John 15:8. It also commands us, as Christ did to His disciples, to display love for one another, by which men will know that we are His disciples. John 13:35. There are four basic pillars to Discipleship, they are: Surrender, Sacrifice, Relationship, and Transformation. We are also reminded that it is God who gives the increase and adds souls to His Kingdom, but we can sow the seed, water the seed, and then allow God to save the soul we have won. 01st Corinthians: 3:5-7. We hope that we can rekindle the desire in the souls of men and redirect the focus of Christianity to the winning of souls for God's Kingdom, as a way of life, and not merely a part of our duty as disciples of Christ. #Discipleship#Faith#Hope#ChristianLiving#SpiritualGrowth #MentalHealth#Encouragement#Inspiration#healing @https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092849983674 This is a public episode.

Hello there, I’m Philip Blackett. And on Thanksgiving Day in 2024, I turned 40. What should’ve felt like a celebration ended up sparking something entirely different. A mid-life reflection — or let’s be real, almost a crisis. That day, while everyone else was focused on turkey and pumpkin pie, I found myself staring into the second half of my life, unsure of what it was supposed to mean. The ambitions that used to drive me in high school, college, and even early adulthood — money, status, recognition — just didn’t hit the same. My body was changing, my priorities were shifting, and I realized that what mattered to me now was much deeper: Legacy. Longevity. Family. Purpose. Wellness. And so began a new journey... I made a decision that day to redefine what life after 40 could look like — not just for me, but for anyone ready to take control of their health, energy, and mindset for the next 40 years. Life After 40 is the platform I wish existed when I hit that turning point. What is most important to Philip and what truly forms his identity is his relationship with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Philip's mission for the rest of his life is to Grow His People, Grow His Businesses, and Grow His Kingdom as a good and faithful steward of all God has entrusted him while having a positive influence on all whom he encounters each day as a #KingdomMan. Professionally speaking, Philip is passionate about helping entrepreneurs and small business owners grow their dream businesses while utilizing his skillset in sales, marketing, and business development. Previously, Philip served as President of Cemetery Services, Inc., a seven-figure business he bought based in the Greater Boston area. It was "his pleasure" to serve as a Manager for a Chick-fil-A restaurant. At FedEx, Philip previously provided support to several senior Marketing executives (including the current CEO) as a Senior Communications Specialist after working on its Corporate Social Responsibility team. Before FedEx, Philip advised investors on Wall Street in New York City as an Equity Research Analyst for Goldman Sachs, where he helped recommend investments in over 100 publicly traded companies across 10 industries. @https://www.facebook.com/happier40after/ https://www.instagram.com/happier40after/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/philipblackett https://x.com/happier40after https://LifeAfter40.com [email protected] @#fourpillarsofdestiny #lifeafter40 #PhilipBlackett#Midlife #personalgrowth #selfimprovement #wellbeing #empowerment This is a public episode.

I am a leadership coach, podcaster, author, and international speaker. I empower mothers to find their voice in business, family, and health, starting with self-leadership. In 90 days, clients are supported to establish health practices, release deep spiritual blocks, let go of habits that aren't serving them, feel more at peace with themselves with a knowing that they can do anything, and are provided with the hope and courage to continue on their journey. After building and choosing to leave a 6-figure company, for the second time, I chose my health, family, and self over chronic stress, burnout, insomnia, adrenal fatigue, anxiety, and panic attacks. Through this, I also unpacked my spiritual re-awakening and learnt how to support others on their soul journey. However, I was also faced with my own worth story as a change in circumstances led me to live week-to-week and face crises in my family life. When building it all back, I chose to choose myself first, and I teach my clients how to do this as well. I use my knowledge, leadership skills, inner wisdom, energy medicine, real-life examples, and compassion for those clients I work with for them to achieve results. Throughout my recent year, I have also reawakened my spirituality. As I unpacked my spiritual gifts and healed a lot of wounds, I was opened up to a whole new way of life. I was gifted in the knowledge of spiritual epigenetics - the ability to repair, reactivate, and restore DNA in the quantum realm whilst discharging the energy blocks from the person's field to help them shift their life. @https://www.willowhealing.org/ https://www.instagram.com/willowhealingsh https://www.threads.net/@willowhealingsh https://willowhealing.substack.com/ https://willowhealing.substack.com/ #CatherineCrestani#duet #WillowHealing#love #WillowHealingMatters #EmpowerYourSoul#emotionalintelligence #SoulEmpowerment #SpiritualAwakening#traumainformed #healingjourneys This is a public episode.

Michael Anthony Smith has spent the good part of his life seeking acceptance, and he documents the journey in his riveting memoir, The Gutter Gospel - The road to redemption. Smith’s memoir begins during his childhood in South Dakota. He writes very engagingly about his experience with friends, family, and colleagues. This seemingly typical existence quickly slides into alcoholism, drug abuse, mental illness, and living most of his life terrified of his own shadow. His battles are many, often trying to talk himself out of (or into) suicide attempts; his ability to describe them and his feelings are noteworthy. All he genuinely wanted in life was acceptance. When he realized that, a perfect peace washed over him. So much so that he pulled his car over, got out, ran into the middle of the highway, and began stopping rush hour traffic to share the good news with everyone. As cars zipped by, their drivers had looks of horror watching him spin into madness. Mark Twain said, “The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you understand why.” @[email protected] https://theguttergospel.com/book-review https://www.linkedin.com/posts/mike-smith https://www.facebook.com/MikeSmithTheGutterGospel theguttergospel.com#MikeSmith#MikeSmithMinistries#ChristianFaith #FaithJourney#SpiritualGuidance#overcomingdarkness #lightinthedarkness This is a public episode.

Thomas R Wilson is a Writer, Business Owner, Advocate, Sensory Friendly Events Specialist, and Community Leader. His work within the Neuro Diverse and Mental Health communities has brought him international acclaim, and his advocacy work has reached government recognition. While his work is just beginning he has partnered with over 40 businesses and is helping to carve out a specific niche that offers great value to the community. Finally, while his work is designed for underserved communities, he welcomes everyone to attend his work and events. As a young individual living with Mental Health Struggles in Manchester, New Hampshire, I was no stranger to bullying, the trials of living in a system that would not work with me, and the complications that come with Neuro Diversity. However, I had a passion for stories, and the images within that took me away from the pain of feeling different in a world that had not yet embraced the differences it does now. In the words of Poetry, Novels, and Music, I found a home where insults weren’t thrown at me, where I knew my strengths against a world that didn’t tell me I couldn’t and that I would be a failure. All the while, those who were to support me called me a monster and a mistake. Where the hatred others had for my diagnosis was tossed at me like rocks against a window. Yet in all my years, stories held out hope for me; they inspired me to speak, to feel as if the gem of worth hidden in my desolate heart would flourish and grow to great worth.@https://www.rhcreativeadvocacyandstorytelling.net/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-wilson https://www.threads.net/@rhstorytelling #ThomasWilsonInsights#empowermentnetwork#StrengthBasedLiving#MindsetCoaching#PowerOfMindset#StrengthBasedMindset#MindsetMatters#GrowthMindset#PositivePsychology#InnerStrength#MentalWellness#SelfEmpowerment#ResilientMindset#OvercomingChallenges This is a public episode.

There are three basic components to Transactional Conversations, and I am happy to take this opportunity to explain some details about them. The first component is that it is a Podcast Platform. This is where I target Leaders and Entrepreneurs who struggle with the crossroads of their Businesses, Relationships, Careers, and Lives. The primary goal is to exchange information, complete a task, or make decisions. Transactional conversations follow a clear structure to minimize ambiguity, declutter limiting beliefs, and accept the possibility of newness and a shift in their mindset. After these sessions, there are clear and defined actions one must take to engage in acceptance and fulfillment; it all leads to Intentionality, Clarity, and Purpose. Then there is the Coaching Component which is a mirror of the Podcasting platform; except it now becomes deeply personal, soul-searching, and focuses on the strengths of the Clients who seek Clarity and a re-defining of their Purpose in life. They largely want to re-ignite the waning passion for what they do, and clearly define the reason for why they became who they were in the first place. We go from Discovery to Clarity, and then to decisions, oftentimes embracing a paradigm shift in their character and personality. Finally, the clouds of uncertainty dissipate, and the innocence of life with its childlike curiosity becomes the new approach to their challenges. Then there is the art of Public Speaking, as a Certified Public Speaker and Speech Writer, it has been my experience, that many of the skills we acquire in this sphere, come from trial and error and repetition, but here are some of the fundamentals: Participants aim to be concise and stay on-topic to achieve the goal quickly, the focus is on sharing factual, relevant, and actionable information. Emotional undertones are minimal unless they directly affect the outcome (e.g., empathy in customer service). Use clear, specific language to avoid misunderstandings, and avoid jargon or overly technical terms unless both parties understand them. Even in transactional conversations, politeness can enhance cooperation, and maintaining a professional tone is essential, especially in formal settings. Some Common Techniques are:* Active Listening: To ensure you fully understand the other party’s needs or requests.* Closed-Ended Questions: To get precise answers (e.g., "What is your preferred delivery date?").* Confirmation: Repeating or paraphrasing key points to confirm mutual understanding. Prepare in Advance: Have all necessary information ready to streamline the discussion/presentation. Be Time-Sensitive: Respect the other person’s time by being concise and focused. Clarify Objectives: Ensure both parties understand the purpose of the conversation/meeting. Stay Neutral: Maintain a calm and objective demeanor, especially in conflict situations/groups. Follow-Up: Summarize key points or next steps to ensure the task is completed successfully.* If you desire to work with us or we work with you please please send us an email at [email protected].

Sometimes, you must take time to research an answer before responding, because no one knows everything. This requires humility and common sense because you need that moment to be human rather than make a complete fool of yourself. This is a public episode.

Sometimes you have to work hard to keep your silence because your mind is racing and you want to respond or share, but you realize it is all about timing, it is rude to try and speak before the other party has completed their transaction. Do not interrupt unless it is vital to you getting the point, but listen and listen again; show that you are fully engaged, and then they will appreciate your response more; just learn to speak at the right time to continue the flow and influence true connection with your transaction.

You may encounter people who do not have a short delivery time for their message or presentation. Some reasons for this include insecurity, adept attention to detail, a lack of confidence in their delivery, or even the need to simplify their thoughts. Whatever the reason, please try your best to be patient and enjoy the tour. The plane will eventually land. You must show appreciation for their efforts and consideration for their methods, as much as you would want yours to be appreciated. Take time to dissect what the valued points are, and ignore the rest so that the value does not become diluted, but never show disinterest or lack of appreciation, it can derail the entire process. free consultation This is a public episode.

Gratitude is the most engaging virtue next to kindness, they complement each other and go hand in hand.
