It's All About Healing
by Robin Black
We share how faith steadied the chaos and why healing is less about being fixed and more about being found. You’ll hear the heart behind our mission, the growing global community, and how poetry, coaching, and candid conversations turn silent tears into words that help others breathe again.We open up about spiritual detours that promised comfort but delivered confusion, from tarot and crystals to the myth that strength means carrying it alone. What changed everything was staying in God’s Word and staying honest with God—letting Him meet us in the mess, make crooked paths straight, and grow wisdom over time. That shift from double-mindedness to steady trust didn’t happen overnight. It unfolded through prayer, scripture, fellowship, and the brave act of telling the truth about what still hurts.If you’re navigating grief, toxic relationships, financial pressure, or the slow work of rebuilding after setback piled on setback, this podcast is for you.

Happiness Is Not for Sale: Episode 399
Send us Fan MailHappiness is being sold like a screensaver life: turquoise water, perfect couples, and a checkout button that promises you will finally feel whole. We slow that story down and ask a harder question: what if the chase is the problem, and what if joy was never meant to be purchased in the first place? We talk about how social media advertising and comparison quietly build a mindset of lack, where you assume you are failing if you cannot afford the trip, the lifestyle, or the relationship you see online. From there, we pivot into faith and the unseen reality that still holds weight: God as our beginning and our end, and the reminder from Matthew 6:26 that provision is not random. We also name the mental cost of living in constant uncertainty and why confusion is not where God operates. Then we connect today’s headlines to everyday choices: food recalls, seedless products, and why so many people feel pushed to take their health back into their own hands. Gardening becomes a real-world example of returning to what is rooted and true, and we reflect on how COVID forced many of us to look inward and rebuild from the inside. If you are tired of tying your happiness to outcomes you cannot control, this conversation points you back to what is constant, steady, and already within you. If this helped you breathe a little deeper, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find it.

When Life Gets Harder, Keep Carrying the Cross: Episode 398
Send us Fan MailThe moment you decide you want to do better, why does the world feel like it gets meaner, louder, and harder to survive? We sit with that uncomfortable reality and bring it back to Scripture, because trials and tribulations are not random when you’re walking with Christ. I read from 2 Corinthians and Ephesians and talk through the pain, sacrifice, and suffering so many of us carry quietly, plus the question we’re almost afraid to say out loud: “Dear God, why me?”We reflect on what it means to share in Christ’s suffering and still expect His glory, righteousness, and victory. I unpack 2 Corinthians 5:7, “we walk by faith, not by sight,” and why faith is more than optimism. It’s trust, loyalty, and movement when you don’t get the full plan, just the next step. If you’ve been stuck in autopilot, mistaking familiar discomfort for “normal,” this will challenge you to keep moving with God as your lamp.We also talk spiritual warfare in plain terms through Ephesians 6:12, and how modern life can train us to live by what we see. Politics, celebrity influence, the music we absorb, AI, and social media can build convincing false realities that steal attention and dull discernment. I share why it matters to slow down, listen for truth, and test what resonates in your soul, not just what spikes your emotions.If you’re carrying something too heavy, we end with a simple practice: lay the burden at God’s feet, keep your heart posture honest, and trust His timing as He shapes your wisdom for the purpose you’re praying for. Subscribe, share this with someone in a storm, and leave a review if it helps. What’s the hardest part of walking by faith right now?©2022-2026 Soul Healer17:77, LLC. All Rights Reserved.

Know Your Capacity, with Tammy Nicole: Episode 397
Send us Fan MailIf you’ve ever looked around at your own life and thought, “I have everything I’m supposed to want… so why do I still feel empty?” this conversation will hit home. I’m Robin Black, and I’m joined by coach and clinical therapist Tammy Nicole for a real talk about self-discovery, emotional wellness, and what it takes to stop living on autopilot. Tammy shares how her own divorce became a turning point, not just an ending, and why so many women lose themselves while chasing the version of success that society rewards. We dig into the practical tools that create change, starting with journaling for self-awareness and clarity. Tammy explains why “once you see what you write down, you can’t unsee it,” and how that one habit can expose people pleasing, emotional triggers, and the stories we make up when we’re not grounded in who we are. We also unpack the difference between what you do and who you are, why “I match energy” can be a trap, and how to protect your peace by learning to observe without absorbing. We also talk boundaries and burnout, including Tammy’s straight-to-the-point reminder that “no is a sentence,” and her take on capacity as a limit, not “until it’s done.” Plus, we get into parenting teens and younger women who are trying to figure themselves out earlier, with guidance on resisting peer pressure and social media comparison by asking better questions and practicing real independence. If you’re ready to build a self-love blueprint and start becoming the emotionally available woman you want to be, press play, share this with a friend who needs it, and subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next. After you listen, will you leave a review and tell us the biggest truth you’re taking with you?©2022-2026 Soul Healer17:77, LLC. All Rights Reserved.

Piercing the Silence - Telling the Truth Changed My Life Forever, with Darlene Lekowski: Episode 396
Send us Fan MailWhen the people who hurt you rewrite the story, telling the truth can feel like stepping onto glass barefoot. We sit down with Amazon best-selling author and motivational speaker Darlene Lakowski, who shares how childhood sibling sexual trauma followed her for decades, how PTSD showed up in unexpected ways, and why the “box” we hide pain in always leaks eventually.Darlene opens up about the moment she finally spoke up inside her family, hoping for a simple apology and validation, and how that choice escalated into a defamation lawsuit that lasted more than two years. We talk about the pressure of being dared to take the stand, the insult of a one-dollar settlement offer, and the emotional reality of reliving trauma in a legal fight. Then we unpack what it meant to hear a unanimous jury confirm she was telling the truth, and why even a courtroom win doesn’t automatically create peace.From there, we move into practical healing from trauma: why healing isn’t linear, how control can become a survival strategy that spills into marriage, parenting, and friendships, and what helped her begin letting go. Darlene also explains SSTA (sibling sexual trauma and abuse), why it’s more common than most people realize, and what survivors need most from the people they trust: “We hear you and we believe you.” She shares resources, her approach to therapy and long-term recovery, and the mission behind her book, Shattering Silence: A Story of Survival, Justice, and the Power of Telling the Truth.If this conversation helps you, subscribe, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review so more survivors and supporters can find these stories.To reach Darlene: Website: darlene-lekowski.com Instagram: Instagram (@darlenelekowski) Facebook: (1) Facebook (Darlene Lekowski) LinkedIn: Darlene Lekowski – Speaker-Author: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darlene-lekowski-0ba1962/ “Shattering Silence” Book Trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acMzTHqwUyc©2022-2026 Soul Healer17:77, LLC.

From Darkness to Salvation (Spoken Word): Episode 395
Send us Fan MailHeaven or hell isn’t just a future question. It can feel like something we brush against in real life through addiction, disease, and the kind of evil that hurts innocent people at the hands of those who should protect them. We say the quiet part out loud: the world can feel so dark it’s as though we’re being dragged downward, and that darkness wants us to forget who gave us salvation. From there, we turn toward spiritual warfare and what it looks like to respond with faith instead of surrender. We talk about praying over our children because they seem to be the enemy’s main focus, and why protecting the next generation starts with what we teach, what we model, and what we refuse to normalize. We also touch the tension around symbols and meaning, including a call to remember the true meaning of the rainbow rather than conforming to what we see as a distortion meant to mock what’s holy. We also connect today’s pressure points to purpose: the cost of living keeps rising while income stays stagnant, and that stress creates fertile ground for distraction. We bring up AI, not as a tech debate, but as a snapshot of how fast the world changes while people feel less grounded. That’s why we challenge ourselves to become positive mentors and to aim for something deeper than trend chasing. We close with “biblical intelligence,” identity, and John 14:6 as the centerline: Jesus as the way, the truth, and the life.

He Is (Spoken Word): Episode 394
Send us Fan MailFrom Genesis to Revelation: A Portrait of Jesus“He is the Alpha and the Omega.” That single line can steady a shaky week, and we lean into it with a rapid-fire, heart-level reflection on who Jesus Christ is when life feels loud. We trace the story from Genesis to Revelation and name the big truths clearly: Creator, Savior from sin, Lord and Father, the One who holds the beginning and the end.Then we bring it down to the places we actually live. When worry steals our strength, faith becomes the anchor. When pain leaves a mark, mercy starts to make sense in a deeper way. We talk about Jesus as a faith builder who points us forward instead of replaying our past mistakes, and we name what so many people need to hear again: He forgives, He provides, and He comforts us through storms.We also linger on a striking image of the cross facing north, south, east, and west, a reminder of the bold claim at the center of Christianity and the invitation extended to every direction of the human heart. We close with a personal declaration you can borrow for your own prayer life: “He is my today, my tomorrow, my always… my everything,” and the quiet result that follows: stability.If this helped you breathe again, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review so more people can find it.

Muscle Loss Is the Hidden GLP-1 Risk - Metabolic Healing, with Dr. Liz: Episode 393
Send us Fan MailGLP-1 weight loss shots are everywhere right now, but the part most people aren’t talking about is what happens to your muscle, your metabolism, and your long-term health once the “easy loss” phase ends. We sit down with Dr. Liz, a chiropractor and metabolic health and weight loss specialist, to unpack why quick fixes often backfire and why so many people feel stuck even when they’re doing “all the right things.”We get specific about real-life scenarios, including weight regain, bloating, and nutrient gaps after bariatric surgery like gastric sleeve and lap band. Dr. Liz explains how the body adapts to eating less, why nutritional deficiency can drive the body to store more, and how a sustainable plan has to go beyond a permanent low-calorie approach. She also shares why her work is highly individualized, especially for people with physical restrictions, fear around the scale, menopause changes, or a long history of dieting.Then we tackle GLP-1 agonists head-on: the muscle loss numbers, how muscle supports healthy blood sugar and aging, why losing muscle can increase future type 2 diabetes risk, and what concerns she’s watching in the research and real-world reports. We also connect the dots between the nervous system, chiropractic care, digestion, and healing, and we end with a practical strategy you can use today: read ingredient labels, choose real food, and change one habit at a time.If you care about metabolic health, sustainable weight loss, gut health, and keeping the weight off without wrecking your body, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share with a friend who’s considering GLP-1s, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.To reach Dr. Liz - https://www.back2realfood.com©2022-2026 Soul Healer17:77, LLC.

Becoming Is Messy, with Meghann Dawson: Episode 392
Send us Fan MailYour past can feel like a weight you’ll carry forever, until the day it becomes a clue. We sit down with writer, speaker, and podcast host Meghann Dawson to talk about her book series Becoming Is Messy and the real life healing journey underneath it: chronic trauma, living in a body shaped by pain, and the quiet ways perfectionism and “being chosen” can masquerade as love. Meghann shares how survival strategies that once kept her safe later kept her small and how she began rewriting the pattern. We walk through the moment that changed everything: holding her newborn daughter and hearing an inner voice that cut through years of inner critic noise. From there, Meghann gets practical, laying out the LEVEL UP framework she’s built from experience and therapy work: learning to trust yourself, examining childhood with compassion, valuing the lessons inside messy memories, exploring spirituality in language that fits, and building a toolbox that supports nervous system regulation over time. If you’ve ever asked why healing isn’t linear, why you keep circling back, or how to stop repeating family trauma, you’ll find clear, relatable answers here. We also dig into what happens after you start to heal: quitting compartmentalizing, choosing rooms that can hold the real you, parenting teens with more grace, and learning “wholeness first” so you can show up with a full cup. Meghann previews the bigger arc of her series, including Choosing Is Courageous and Being Is Enough, and why receiving and weaving community might be the next stage for many of us.

Raining Fire (Spoken Word): Episode 391
Send us Fan MailYou can feel it when a message refuses to negotiate with comfort. We dig into a hard, clarifying theme: God’s judgment, His justice, and His mercy all belong in the same sentence, and sin is never a small issue that time simply erases. If you’ve ever wondered how a loving God can also judge, we walk straight into that tension and ask what it means for everyday faith, repentance, and salvation. From there, we widen the idea of “the flesh” beyond the usual categories. We talk about emotions, wants, and the simple pleasures that can quietly become a rival devotion, then confront the blunt claim that we cannot love God and love the world at the same time. Using the warning language around Sodom and Gomorrah, we look at how pride and ego shape behavior, and why spiritual drift often starts with what we excuse, not what we fear. We also lean into biblical prophecy and end times urgency, including vivid imagery of fire, destruction, and renewal, plus the sense that the world is moving toward a final reckoning. Scripture anchors the hope: Jeremiah 33:3 invites us to call on God for wisdom beyond human understanding, and Colossians 1:13–14 points to deliverance from the domain of darkness into the kingdom of Christ through redemption and forgiveness.

God's Innocent Souls (Spoken Word): Episode 390
Send us Fan MailSome pain feels so wrong that your mind keeps searching for a reason, a lever you could pull, a sentence that could make it make sense. We go straight into that raw space where innocence is stolen, families are shattered, and the people who were supposed to protect instead caused harm. This is a faith-centered reflection on grief, child loss, and the spiritual nausea that comes from seeing real evil up close.We turn to Scripture not as a quick fix, but as a place to breathe. Ephesians 3:19 reminds us that God’s love can surpass knowledge, and Proverbs 3:5 challenges us to trust when understanding collapses. We also wrestle with the uncomfortable call to pray for enemies and what it means to ask God to deal with hearts that seem consumed by darkness. If you’re looking for Christian grief support, comfort after tragedy, or Bible verses for loss, these words are meant to meet you where you are.From there, we talk about what remains: memories that death cannot touch, the strength God gives the suffering, and the slow work of learning to grow with pain instead of being defined by it. We close with a prayer drawn from Psalm 147:3 for healing, peace, and the courage to let go of what we cannot control. If this resonates, subscribe, share it with someone who’s grieving, and leave a review so more people can find support when they need it most.Music info: Crown of the Victor I Cinematic - Royalty-Free Music©2022-2026 Soul Healer17:77, LLC.

Used Against Me (Spoken Word): Episode 389
Send us Fan MailSome nights don’t feel dramatic, they feel endless: the same doubts, the same tears, the same quiet fear that you’ve gone too far to be forgiven. We start there, with a simple but fierce prayer that names the pain out loud and asks for help without pretending we have it together. If you’ve been carrying shame, uncertainty, or spiritual exhaustion, this conversation meets you with honesty and a way forward.We talk about choices and consequences with zero fluff, including how “easy pleasures” can slowly build a fragile mind. When discipline wears thin, distractions get loud, and vulnerability can be twisted into confusion and worthlessness. We also frame the battle in spiritual warfare terms, not to sensationalize it, but to make one point clear: isolation is dangerous, and trying to live on your own strength eventually breaks you.Then we pivot to identity and recovery. We refuse to identify with the darkest labels, we remember we are chosen, and we treat wounds as part of the story God can shape into purpose. The closing insight is the anchor: repentance stays powerful, and even the guilt that lingers can become a compass pointing back toward goodness, forgiveness, and direction.If this gave you language for what you’ve been feeling, subscribe, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a quick review so more people can find it.

Breaking The Scarcity Downward Spiral (Biblical Motivation): Episode 388
Send us Fan MailLack rarely announces itself as a big crisis. Most of the time it whispers, “You don’t have enough,” and then it keeps talking until it rewrites your whole day. We walk through how a scarcity mindset can start with financial stress and quickly snowball into a chain reaction: harsh self talk, old relationship pain, shame, and that heavy feeling of moving through life on autopilot with no motivation. If you’ve been stuck in anxiety or low grade depression, you’ll recognize how fast the mind can turn missing money into missing hope.We also bring the conversation back to faith, Christian healing, and spiritual growth through two anchor passages. Mark 9:24 gives language for the real inner conflict many of us carry: “I believe; help my unbelief.” We talk about why that kind of honest prayer matters when you’re struggling with doubt, and how God can use believers to support people who feel their faith running thin. If you’ve ever felt guilty for having fear, this is a gentler, truer way to approach it.From there, we connect Mark 4:40 and the story of Peter on the water to everyday life: storms hit, fear rises, and the moment we start doubting is often the moment we start sinking. We share a practical reset for financial anxiety and scarcity thinking: returning to God as provider, strength, and counselor, then laying burdens down instead of carrying them alone.

How To Hold On When Life Feels Heavy (Biblical Motivation)
Send us Fan MailSome mornings you wake up smiling, and other mornings you feel like you’re barely keeping your head above water. Today I’ll be sharing a short, faith-centered message for anyone carrying heavy fear, worry, sorrow, or the quiet thought of “I can’t do this anymore.” I lean into Scripture like John 16:33 and Matthew 5:45 to name a hard truth: trouble touches everyone, and expecting a pain-free life can set us up for deep discouragement when reality hits. We get honest about what weighs us down, from the weight of sin to broken relationships, illness, and the stress that makes you want to give up. I talk about the false promise of the “easy way out,” and why it often makes things harder in the long run. Then we pivot to the hope that holds: God strengthens us in ways we didn’t even know we had, especially when we don’t have the answers and our hearts feel worn thin. If you’ve been feeling unwanted, unseen, or low in self-worth, this is a reminder that you’re not forgotten. I reflect on Galatians 6:9 and the call to keep doing good without growing weary, plus the grounded idea that faith and action belong together. The goal is healing that lasts: spiritual resilience, steadier thoughts, and the courage to step out of a mental prison of fear. If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with someone who’s struggling, and leave a quick review so more people can find this message.

Good morning, and Gratitude to Chicago!!
Send us Fan MailPlaces we enjoyed:Cilantro Taco GrillCatina Mexican Grill (located on the Navy Pier in front of Seadog boat tour)Honeybear CafeSeadog Architecture tour (Ask for Ryan as your tour guide!!)Chicago is beautiful, busy, and full of surprises and sometimes the biggest surprise is the help you didn’t even know you needed. We’re coming off an amazing weekend trip, and I’m sharing the moments that made it unforgettable, from family time and a late Mother’s Day gift to the pure “wow” factor of being at Navy Pier with endless things to do. If you love uplifting stories that mix real life with spiritual reflection, you’ll feel right at home here. We also get into one of my favorite Chicago travel experiences: the Sea Dog architectural tour. It’s part history lesson, part comedy show, and then suddenly it’s a speedboat ride that will wake you all the way up. I talk about what made the tour so fun, why it’s worth your time whether you do the full ride or the shorter option, and the honest truth about the weather. If you’re searching for Chicago travel tips, Navy Pier recommendations, or the best architecture boat tour ideas, this will help you plan smarter. But the heart of the conversation is bigger than travel. I share how we ran into Nicole, a veteran and nurse, who helped us figure out exactly which train to take and what to do next. It felt like a clear example of how God places people in your path at the right time, and it pushed me to reflect on gratitude, faith, and counting blessings even when they seem small.

If Technology Shapes Your Mind, Who Shapes Your Soul: Episode 388
Send us Fan MailArtificial Intelligence Vs. Biblical Intelligence: You ever scroll past a clip and freeze because you can’t tell if it’s real? That moment of uncertainty is bigger than tech. It touches trust, fear, and how easily our minds can be shaped when reality gets blurry. We sit with the tension between artificial intelligence and what we call biblical intelligence, a way of thinking rooted in God’s truth, not in whatever can be generated, edited, or optimized for attention. We talk about how AI can be helpful, but also how deception can multiply when deepfakes and synthetic content spread faster than discernment. When you can’t tell what’s true, manipulation gets easier and anxiety grows. From a Christian perspective on AI, the solution isn’t denial or obsession, it’s returning to spiritual practices that restore clarity: stillness, prayer, and daily time with Scripture. We also challenge the idea of “success” as something you can measure with a house, a relationship status, or a perfect image online, and we name how those markers can become distractions. A major theme is trust when God calls you into quiet or separation. We reflect on Exodus 14 and the push to go forward even when you don’t understand why certain doors close or certain relationships shift. If you feel like you’re being held underwater by fear, we offer a grounded next step: open your Bible, ask God to guide you, and listen long enough to hear what you’ve been drowning out. If this helped you think clearly, subscribe, share it with a friend who feels overwhelmed by AI and social media, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Good morning, Tuesday!
Send us Fan MailTuesday can feel like the longest runway of the week, especially when you’re staring down a countdown to vacation. We kick off with a simple morning check-in, then land on a mindset idea that changes everything: we get to tell the day what kind of day it’s going to be, instead of letting the day tell us.We talk about that restless “this week is taking forever” feeling and why it shows up when something good is ahead. The point isn’t to ignore the anxiety or force fake positivity. It’s to slow down, stop rushing your life, and come back to what you can actually control right now: your attitude, your pace, and the choices you make in the next hour. If you’re looking for morning motivation, a quick mental reset, or a practical way to build patience, this short episode is designed to meet you where you are.We also share a small but powerful daily habit that supports better mental health: take a moment to smile and be thankful for living. Gratitude doesn’t erase stress, but it can soften it, give you perspective, and help you move through the day with steadiness. By the end, you’ll have a clear takeaway you can repeat anytime you feel rushed, behind, or worn down.If this helped you, subscribe so you don’t miss the next one, share it with someone who needs a reset today, and leave a quick rating or review.

Endings and New Begininngs: Episode 387
Send us Fan MailWhen life pushes you into an ending you didn’t want, it can feel easier to stay put than to step into the unknown. I’m Robin Black, and I’m back with an honest reflection on new beginnings, the fear that comes with change, and why our minds often treat uncertainty like a threat. If you’ve been clinging to what’s familiar even though it hurts, this conversation is for you. I unpack how we can “see” some futures clearly but struggle to imagine the ones God is building behind the scenes. That gap creates anxiety, overthinking, and a kind of pre-emptive quitting where we deny ourselves growth before we even try. We also talk about spiritual warfare in everyday language: the lies that twist your reality, pull you into self-doubt, and lead to self-sabotage. I share why I believe discernment matters, especially when choosing relationships, jobs, and the people you trust with your heart. One of my favorite images here is the train that can’t steer itself. A train reaches its destination by staying on the tracks, and I see God’s guidance the same way when the path curves. We also get real about isolation, busyness, and why quiet can feel scary, yet become the place where healing begins. I close with a reminder about daily bread, repeated prayer, and bringing your struggles to God without shame, ending with the Lord’s Prayer. If this helped you, subscribe to It’s All About Healing Podcast, share it with someone facing a hard transition, and leave a review so more people can find this message.

Made By the Fall: Episode 386
Send us Fan MailYour worst season might be the one that builds you.I'm speaking about failure, fear, and the kind of faith that holds up when life goes off the rails. So many of us work overtime trying to avoid mistakes, like one wrong choice will ruin everything. But the truth I keep coming back to is this: God already knows the turns we’ll take, and He doesn’t abandon us in the middle of them. Even with free will, He is still the beginning and the end, and nothing about your story surprises Him.We also get honest about how negativity works like bait. The constant noise of scandals, outrage, and distraction can “breadcrumb” us into chasing darkness until we forget where our peace comes from. I share a personal testimony about selling my house, moving into an apartment, and then losing everything in a fire. That kind of loss can trap you in regret, but I explain why dwelling on the mistake keeps you stagnant and how God can still provide, rebuild, and restore after the hardest hits.Finally, we talk about mistakes, redemption, and prayer. The world feels heavier, prophecy feels louder, and none of us know our last day, so I’m encouraging you not to wait to turn back to God. If you don’t know how to pray, don’t overthink it. Start with what you have. Start with “Dear Heavenly Father.” No shame, no performance, just honesty.If this brought you comfort or conviction, subscribe, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a review so more people can find this faith-based healing message.

How To Stop Dating Your Red Flag Collection, with Attachment Healing Specialist, Nima Rahmany: Episode 385
Send us Fan MailRed flags are easy to spot. What’s harder is admitting why we stay anyway, and what our nervous system is getting from the chaos. Robin Black sits down with Nima, an attachment healing specialist and trauma bond guide, to unpack the real engine behind stuck relationships: the unconscious payoff, the chase for “potential,” and the patterns we repeat when love feels familiar but unsafe.We dig into elegant boundaries and why “never again” rules can quietly become a wall that attracts the exact dynamic you fear. Nima explains how somatic healing and nervous system regulation change everything, because boundaries are not about controlling someone else, they’re about the action we take when our needs aren’t met. We also talk identity work, attachment styles, and the moment you stop collecting techniques and start defining what “working” actually means: discernment, self-trust, emotional regulation, and the ability to walk away sooner.The conversation goes deep on trauma bonds, love bombing, intermittent reinforcement, and the victim story that keeps people locked in blame. Nima shares personal lessons on rupture and repair, healing shame, and building a secure relationship that doesn’t require losing yourself. If you’ve ever said “Why do I keep attracting this?” you’ll leave with language, tools, and a clearer path forward.Subscribe for more conversations on healing and relationships, share this with someone who’s stuck in the push-pull, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Grief, Guilt, and the Choice to Live, shared story with Melissa Hull: Episode 384
Send us Fan MailA split-second of ordinary life can become the moment you measure everything else against. Melissa Hall joins us to share the day she lost her four-year-old son, Drew, in an irrigation canal near their rural home and what came after: the panic, the seven-hour search, and the crushing guilt of believing one exhausted mistake defined her worth as a mother. We don’t soften the hard parts, including how grief can hijack your body, your breathing, and your ability to imagine a future.What changes the trajectory isn’t a miracle cure, it’s connection. Melissa opens up about a letter from another bereaved mother that met her with honesty instead of platitudes, and how that simple act of being seen helped her step back from the edge. We talk about complicated grief, survivor’s guilt, suicidal thoughts after loss, and the slow work of choosing life one day at a time. Her perspective is both tender and practical: grief is not the absence of love, it can be the presence of love demanding a place to go.We also dig into how Melissa turned pain into purpose through water safety education and child drowning prevention, especially for families living near open canals and waterways. She shares what she’s learned through journaling, coaching, and writing Dear Drew: Creating a Life Bigger Than Grief, plus why community support matters when people you expected to show up don’t. If you’re searching for grief support, bereavement resources, or a way to honor someone while still moving forward, this conversation offers language, tools, and hope without pretending healing is tidy.Subscribe for more stories of healing, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review with the takeaway you’re still thinking about.To Reach Melissa Hull:Website: www.melissahull.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/greaterthangriefFacebook: www.facebook.com/greaterthangrief©2022-2026 Soul Healer17:77, LLC.

How A Structured Mentorship Program Builds Hope Behind Bars, with Dr. Kim Nugent: Episode 383
Send us Fan MailThe sound of a prison gate closing changes a person instantly and Dr. Kim Nugent has never forgotten it. She joins us to share what she’s learned after years of working inside facilities as a prison mentorship facilitator and author of From Prison to Possibilities Paving Your Path. We talk about why hope isn’t a “nice to have” behind bars, it’s a safety issue, a healing issue, and a culture issue. We walk through her structured mentorship program that runs about six to nine months and uses an A to Z curriculum to build real-life skills like attitude, behavior, communication, and decision making. Unlike mentorship that falls apart without a plan, this model includes weekly preparation, guided questions, small group discussion, a formal graduation, and a pipeline where mentees become mentors and mentors grow into advanced coaching roles. Dr. Nugent also explains why she opened access to people across security levels, including maximum security and those serving life sentences, and how shared lived experience helps the mentoring “stick.” We also get into the deeper transformation: spiritual grounding, purpose, and repairing family relationships while someone is still incarcerated. Dr. Nugent shares practical tools like conversation questions for partners and children, plus a powerful accountability exercise that starts with asking five people for honest feedback about your attitude. If you care about prison reform, rehabilitation, second chance programs, and reducing violence through real human development, you’ll take a lot from this conversation.

What If Your Deepest Wound Becomes Your Ministry? (Spoken Word): Episode 382
Send us Fan MailSome prayers don’t sound like a sermon. They sound like the truth you say when you’re finally tired of your own excuses. We open with a raw confession about the gap between “I’ll do better” and actually doing better, and we bring that tension straight to God without dressing it up.From there, we name what so many people carry quietly: childhood wounds that still ache, and the habits we use to cover them with temporary comfort. We talk about what real healing and forgiveness can look like when the past still feels unfair. We also share how poetry and spoken prayer can become a spiritual practice, a way to feel God close and to find words that might touch someone else who needs hope.The reflection turns toward love that doesn’t quit, even after hurt. We wrestle with what it means to have a heart that keeps caring, and how faith helps us navigate that tenderness with understanding instead of shame. We also sit with Exodus 20:12, honoring mother and father, while admitting how complicated that can be when family relationships carry pain. The thread running through it all is discipleship: picking up the cross, choosing to keep following Jesus, and giving God the glory for mercy, grace, and steady restoration.If this prayer resonates, listen through, share it with someone who needs comfort, and subscribe for more.

Perimenopause Symptoms Pregnancy Care and Pelvic Floor Fixes, with Nikki Rowan, OBGYN: Episode 381
Send us Fan MailHormones get blamed for everything, but the truth is more interesting and a lot more useful. I’m Robin Black, and I’m joined by my cousin Nikki Rowan, an OB-GYN with nearly two decades of experience, to talk straight about gynecology, pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause symptoms, and what actually helps when your body feels “off” but your lab work looks “normal.”We dig into why hormone testing can be misleading, how estrogen and other hormones naturally swing throughout the day and month, and why puberty and perimenopause can feel like emotional whiplash. Nikki also explains how weight changes can affect ovulation and menstrual cycles, why endometrial ablation is a bleeding treatment that may not last forever when done young, and how surprise pregnancies can happen right when you think you’re finally “getting healthy.”Then we get practical about common issues people suffer with in silence, especially stress urinary incontinence. Nikki breaks down pelvic floor physical therapy, what an evaluation looks like, how biofeedback works, and why doing the at-home exercises can be a game changer within weeks. We also talk birth and anesthesia, including hypnobirthing, epidural vs spinal anesthesia, when you can’t safely get one, and a clear explanation of placenta previa and hemorrhage risk. We end with an honest take on prenatal vitamins, pregnancy weight gain, breastfeeding benefits, and why formula is not a moral failing.If this helped you feel more informed and less alone, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find it.

Proverbs 16:32 (Biblical Intelligence): Episode 380
Send us Fan MailAnger feels powerful until it starts costing you your peace. I’m digging into Proverbs 16:32, a sharp, practical verse that redefines strength: patience and self-control can be greater than winning the loudest battle. If you’ve been pushing through workplace toxicity, feeling sabotaged on the job, or trying to “stick it out” in a relationship that leaves you drained, this message is for you.We talk honestly about the trap of believing God is tied to a specific place or person. God isn’t “in the job” or “in the relationship,” God is in you, and God goes with you. That shift changes everything, including how you set boundaries, when you stop fighting battles that beat you down, and how you decide whether it’s time to stay or time to leave. I also share a moment at a bus terminal where staying calm in the face of disrespect became an unexpected lesson in biblical emotional regulation.From there, we go deeper into accountability and healing patterns. We explore how internalized thoughts can create false realities, how repeating the same situations often signals unmade changes, and why trust matters when you don’t have every answer. If you want Christian encouragement, practical self-control, and a faith-based mindset for breaking cycles, press play.

Forgiveness Without Approval, with Elaina Royston (E. Marie Speaks): Episode 379
Send us Fan MailWhat if forgiveness didn’t mean saying it was okay? This conversation with E Marie Speaks pulls back the curtain on life after trauma and shows how faith, art, and discipline can turn survival into steady growth. We start with the hard naming of childhood molestation and the way trauma scrambles time, then trace how a single poem unearthed what was still unhealed: confusing forgiveness with approval. That pivot—offering grace without erasing harm—becomes a cornerstone for real change.From stage to page, E Marie treats spoken word as more than performance. She calls it a purge, a way to move what the body holds into language that can finally leave. We talk honestly about raw imagery, faith-filled audiences, and why truth sometimes offends before it frees. Then we follow her leap from thirteen years at Ford to real estate, a faith move thick with uncertainty. The stories of provision—a test passed while sick, gas money handed at church, a foreclosed home that still taught trust—make faith feel local and practical, not lofty.E Marie’s blueprint for lasting healing is simple and demanding: deliverance without discipline leads right back to bondage. She outlines the daily habits that protect progress—affirmations to rebuild self-worth, journaling to track triggers, movement and sunlight to steady the nervous system—and shares why structure is love in action. We also spotlight her affirmation coloring books and guided journal celebrating Black children, designed with images and activities that reflect their beauty and keep their attention. By the end, you’ll have language for forgiveness, tools for routine, and a new respect for how creativity and spirituality can anchor a life.Subscribe, share this episode with someone who needs it, and leave a review with your favorite line—we’re reading every word.To reach Elaina - https://www.emariespks.com/event-details/transformers-re-coded-mastering-mindsets-mapping-momentumhttps://amzn.to/4rLffNX ~ Subtle Seedshttps://bit.ly/4r7mvCC ~ Uniquely Me Coloring Bookhttps://amzn.to/3Pdn6oY ~ Blazing Boys Activity & Coloring Bookhttps://amzn.to/4raSodI ~ My Personal Journal Journey©2022-2026 Soul Healer17:77, LLC.

What If Rock Bottom Is Where Redemption Begins, with Alicia: Episode 378
Send us Fan MailA voice rises from the wreckage and refuses to whisper. Alicia joins us to share how a childhood ache of not belonging grew into a full-blown addiction, how manipulation blurred into trafficking, and how a life held together by fear finally surrendered to something stronger. Her account is unflinching—meth highs, crack smoke, homelessness, and a federal case—but what stands out is the pivot: a moment of terrifying clarity, a rehab bed, and a living room encounter with a love she’d only heard about in church.We walk through the layered weight of healing: telling the truth about coercion, rebuilding trust with herself, and choosing sobriety one ordinary day at a time. Alicia opens up about starting a Bible study in jail, redirecting the energy of obsession into scripture and service, and learning that faith doesn’t promise easy, it promises better. She also takes us into her bariatric sleeve surgery—years in the making—and how reshaping her body supported a renewed mind and spirit. From there, we explore why she founded Faith Into Action Candle Company and how a simple flame can carry a testimony into homes where church doors may never open.Not everyone championed her voice. A church leader told her to stop sharing. Alicia shares why she kept going, how Revelation 12:11 emboldens her, and why she believes testimony breaks shame. With sentencing ahead and custody pain still tender, she chooses peace over panic, purpose over paralysis, and a fierce declaration that Jesus loves you and can transform any story. If you’ve battled addiction, survived coercion, wrestled with church hurt, or are standing at a crossroads with no good options in sight, this conversation offers honest hope and a map for the narrow road.If this moved you, share it with someone who needs courage today, subscribe for more healing stories, and leave a review so others can find this conversation.Watch full video on youtube - What If Rock Bottom Is Where Redemption Begins, with Alicia - YouTube©2022-2026 Soul Healer17:77, LLC.

I Am His Masterpiece (Spoken Word): Episode 377
Send us Fan MailWhat if the light you carry is the very thing that exposes what hurts to heal? We open our hearts to the tension of beauty and brokenness, where prayer isn’t performance but breath, and where deception loses its grip when truth enters the room. Through raw confessions and grounded faith, we trace how gifts can feel like burdens when loneliness settles in, and how that same gift becomes lighter when we remember who carries us.Across this reflective journey, we explore spiritual warfare as both a mental weight and a soulful battle, naming the subtle ways fear engineers false realities. We talk about running back to familiar bondage when freedom feels too wide, and why trust without borders is the only path that makes us whole. The world tries to soothe us with puzzle corners and quick certainty; we call out that false security and ask for the veil to lift so we stop borrowing the language of darkness. Along the way we offer vivid metaphors and practical reflection: guard your gates, test the fruit, and let exposure be mercy rather than shame.This is a meditation on discernment, courage, and the slow work of healing. You’ll hear lines that hold a mirror to your own story: the loneliness inside a calling, the wolf beneath soft words, the ache of growing up with pain as a first language, and the quiet hope that keeps saying, “I’m trying.” If you’ve ever wondered why freedom can feel frightening, or how to stand steady when fear scripts a dozen false truths, this conversation will meet you where you are and point you toward light strong enough to carry what you carry.

How A Bedbound Author Reached the World and Refused to Quit, with Alma Thomas: Episode 376
Send us Fan MailPain bends our plans, but it doesn’t have to break our purpose. Meet Alma Thomas—educator, minister, and author—whose life rerouted through unthinkable grief, a devastating stroke, two years in a neglectful nursing facility, and a recent cancer diagnosis. She opens up about losing her 18-year-old son, the myths of “stages of grief,” and the practical tools that helped her function again: therapy through EAP, naming triggers, and setting boundaries that protect healing without apology.We go deep on resilience that works in the real world. Alma explains how she rebuilt a life of service from her bed, writing ten books with one finger after dictation failed, and speaking on hundreds of podcasts, conferences, and virtual stages across continents. Her GPS metaphor for detours reframes setbacks as reroutes, not dead ends: delay is not denial. We unpack how to turn pain into purpose with concrete actions like launching a scholarship for young Black men, reframing productivity to match capacity, and advocating firmly when bias shows up—like the time an event muted her camera the moment they saw she was bedbound.You’ll hear a voice that is unflinchingly honest and fiercely hopeful. Alma’s faith fuels her, but her tactics are universal: prepare for triggers, communicate context before others assume, choose steady effort over perfection, and dare to try again even when your timeline shatters. If you’ve ever felt sidelined by loss, illness, or detours you didn’t choose, this conversation offers both comfort and a playbook. Press play, then share this with someone who needs a reroute, subscribe for more human, hard-won wisdom, and leave a review telling us the one dream you’re ready to try again.©2022-2026 Soul Healer17:77, LLC.

Choose God Over the World (Biblical Intelligence)
Send us Fan MailStop trying to split your heart. We explore the hard truth that you can’t love God and the world at the same time, and we trace how that single decision reshapes work, desire, and daily practice. Drawing from James 2:26, 1 John 2:15, and Luke 6:46, we connect belief to obedience and show why lip service leaves the soul empty while real surrender brings clarity and courage.We get honest about the comparison trap: scrolling through highlight reels, coveting lifestyles, and mistaking envy for motivation. That cycle doesn’t just waste time; it erodes obedience. You’ll hear a clear, compassionate path forward—naming distractions, bringing messy desires to God, and turning prayer into steady action. We outline small, concrete shifts that move faith from words to works: choosing presence over the feed, integrity over image, generosity over applause, and quiet trust over anxious striving.This conversation invites a single-minded heart. When we choose God first, work becomes service, success becomes stewardship, and struggle becomes formation. The result is not perfection but alignment—daily bread for real life and a soul anchored beyond the next like or milestone. If you’re tired of being torn in two, come reset your loves and let obedience lead you into freedom.If this resonates, subscribe, share the episode with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Sowing Seeds of Grace (Biblical Intelligence)
Send us Fan MailWhat if the harvest you meet tomorrow is growing from the seed you plant today? We explore the ancient rhythm of sowing and reaping through a candid look at personal responsibility, forgiveness that feels impossible, and trust that outlasts confusion. Drawing on Galatians 6:7, Psalm 105:15, and Proverbs 3:5–6, we talk through the moments when you know you’ve done wrong, the courage it takes to make things right, and the surprising freedom that comes from praying for people who hurt you.We also wrestle with the allure of quick fixes. AI promises speed, shortcuts, and slick results, but life with depth cannot be microwaved. We introduce BI—biblical intelligence—as a better compass for modern choices: patience over impulse, character over clout, and wisdom over noise. That lens helps us ask new questions about our habits, our motives, and the long-term harvest we’re creating with every click, word, and decision.Across this conversation, we return to the road of redemption—imperfect, steady, and open to anyone willing to plant new seeds. Forgive first, understand later. Set boundaries without hardening your heart. Trust God when the why remains hidden, and let daily practices of prayer, humility, and repair reshape your future.

Accountability, Faith, And Breaking the Cycle: Episode 375
Send us Fan MailWhat if the reason history keeps repeating in your life is not fate but a habit you haven’t named yet? We open up about accountability, the pull of old patterns, and the quiet courage it takes to step out of the storm and into a steadier rhythm with God. This is a conversation about free will, surrender, and the difference between blaming the enemy and owning the choices that keep us circling the same pain with different faces.We dig into two anchors: prayer as daily bread and faith over sight. Rather than treating prayer like a wish list, we make it the place we bring struggles, confusion, shame, and fear. That’s where alignment happens—where the mind stops overdriving every decision and the heart regains its tune. Through a vivid tornado metaphor, we explore why we get swept into the same cycles and how withdrawing our hand—our consent, our denial—creates space for change. We also share a tender moment about sensing God’s sadness, not to condemn, but to invite an honest look at what needs to shift.You’ll hear how discernment grows with practice, why surrender isn’t passivity, and how God’s protection often looks like intervention you only notice in hindsight. The grand piano image brings it home: some loads require a specialist. Trying to move them alone breaks things. God offers expert help for free; our job is to ask and keep inviting Him into every part of the day. Expect practical insight on breaking patterns, praying for clarity, and cultivating gratitude that steadies you before the outcome arrives.If you’re ready to stop spinning and start walking by faith, press play, share this with someone who needs courage, and leave a review to tell us where accountability is leading you next.©2022-2026 Soul Healer17:77, LLC.

Dear Inner Child (Spoken Word): Episode 374
Send us Fan MailA quiet ache can echo for years, shaping how we love, trust, and show up. This episode leans into that ache with honesty and care, tracing the line from father wounds and inner child pain to a steady, lived sense of worth. We speak candidly about the moments that make us feel small—being talked at, not to; watching others be celebrated; wondering why love seems conditional—and we show how naming these patterns loosens their grip without turning our story into a diagnosis.Across a reflective, poetic arc, we explore how comparison rubs raw against fragile self-concept and why familiar pain keeps finding us until we choose differently. You’ll hear a shift from why me to my turn, supported by simple tools that anyone can use: boundary-setting that protects connection and anchor faith in daily life, and a choose, act, reflect, repair, repeat loop that builds resilience without pretending the road is easy. Tears are not a setback here; they are data and release, a sign that the body is clearing space for something truer.Faith runs like a spine through the conversation—not as a shortcut, but as a practice that steadies attention when doubt gets loud. We talk about speaking to the inner child with respect, catching the urge to flee before it steers the day, and stepping toward opportunities even when readiness feels far away. By the end, the promise is simple and hard-won: healing is underway, you are not alone, and hope grows stronger each time you choose it.

How A Pastor’s Daughter Chose Safety, Sought God, and Rebuilt Her Life, with Angela Chambers: Episode 373
Send us Fan MailA single question can pry open a life you’ve been holding together with quiet endurance. When Angela Chambers’ father asked, “How long are you going to do this?” it wasn’t judgment—it was a lifeline. From there, she began the hard, holy work of leaving a 28-year marriage marked by spiritual, financial, and physical abuse, while holding onto faith, dignity, and a fierce desire to protect her family. What follows is a story of preparation, humility, and the kind of restoration that arrives in surprising places.We walk through the practicalities of getting safe: changing paperwork, opening accounts, documenting finances, and seeking counsel from pastors and therapists. Angela is honest about the tension between honoring marriage and refusing harm; she’s not advocating easy exits, but she is clear that God does not require anyone to stay where abuse is the norm. With no paycheck and bills due, she started cleaning houses “for a month or two,” which turned into seven years. That season became her seminary. Service turned sacred as she learned to see mops and mirrors as tools of ministry, wrote a poem called “Made In His Image,” and watched families regain time because their homes were cared for.Then came a tender sign on a Gulf Shores jetty: after a storm, the beach was littered with perfect shells. In prayer, Angela sensed a promise—“I will restore you.” The shells had been thrashed by waves and arrived whole; so would she. That vision reshaped her obedience, even when it meant awkward apologies to her ex. Step by step, she rebuilt identity, dropped the mask, stayed rooted in worship, and let counseling do its slow, steady work. Now, as a speaker and teacher, she reaches women with a message that blends safety planning, spiritual courage, and real-world wisdom: you will be restored, you are being restored, and you will continue to be restored.If this conversation meets you in the storm, let it also point you toward shore.

God Opened a Path to Surgery and I Faced the Pain to Change My Life: Episode 371
Send us Fan MailA benefits email I almost deleted changed everything. After years of trying pills and plans, a new LTL job connected me to Kerum Health and Journey Lite—partners that covered my bariatric surgery, hotel, and even a stipend. I asked God for a sign in the hotel parking lot and turned straight into the brightest rainbow I’ve ever seen. That moment anchored me through the hardest 72 hours of my life.We walk you through the exact pre-op hurdles, including why losing 30 pounds to shrink a fatty liver can make robotic surgery safer, and how a high-protein, low-calorie plan moved the scale fast. I share the surge of buyer’s remorse after waking up in excruciating pain, the nausea that only dissolved meds could calm, and the small sips and strict timing that kept me stable. You’ll hear the unfiltered truth about the spirometer every two hours, the switch from liquids to purees to solids, the shock of rapid weight loss, and the reality of loose skin and reflux that demand careful routines.If you or someone you love is weighing bariatric surgery, this story gives you the practical playbook: protein targets (60–80 grams), hydration goals, measuring portions, spacing meals before sleep, and never skipping vitamins. It also offers the mindset shift that makes the journey sustainable—how faith, timing, and a supportive care team can carry you when willpower fades. I talk about emotional eating, shame, and why consistent check-ins with dietitians who’ve been through surgery make a difference. Press play for a candid look at pain, patience, and the grace to start over. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review with the one habit you’ll commit to this week.©2022-2026 Soul Healer17:77, LLC. All Rights Reserved.

Foods, Vitamins, And A Plan That Works Before and After Weight Loss Surgery: Episode 370
Send us Fan MailA safer surgery starts long before the operating room. I break down the exact pre-op routine that made rapid weight loss possible and protected the liver, from a protein-first meal plan to vitamins that actually get absorbed and flavors you’ll want to stick with. If you’ve ever wondered how people lose 30 pounds in a month before bariatric surgery—or how to keep losing afterward—this candid walkthrough lays out the playbook with real brands, real numbers, and real talk about cravings, texture fatigue, and budget.I share how moving from 2,700–3,300 daily calories to a tightly structured 600–800 calorie pre-op plan shrank a fatty liver enough for surgeons to operate safely. ProtiFit meals and drinks made it doable: savory standouts like chili and fettuccine, a protein-packed cappuccino that feels like a treat, and lighter juice-style options for when milky shakes get old. You’ll hear which products worked, which flavors to skip, how to hit 60–80 grams of protein without nausea, and simple hydration hacks using cucumbers and watermelon when 64 ounces of water feels out of reach.Vitamins are a linchpin after bariatric surgery, so we compare chewables versus capsules, cost trade-offs, and how to stay consistent when your taste buds and stomach change. We also dig into shake strategies—Premier vs Pure Protein vs Isopure—and a mix that delivers 30-plus grams in one glass using protein-fortified almond milk. Along the way, we talk portion realities, trigger foods that no longer sit right, and the wins that keep motivation high.From 421 pounds to 290 and still dropping, this journey proves that structure beats guesswork. If you’re prepping for surgery, rebuilding after, or just need a smart, high-protein roadmap, you’ll walk away with a shopping list, a plan, and the confidence to make it stick. If this helped, follow the show, share it with someone who needs a boost, and leave a review so more people can find practical guidance that works.Carrum Health: https://carrumhealth.com/ProtiFit Foods: https://protifoods.com/collections/proti-fit-protein-productsIsopure Protein Powder: Amazon.com: Isopure Zero Carb 100% Pure Whey Isolate Protein Powder, Lactose Free, Gluten Free, With Vitamins, Cookies & Cream, 25g Protein Per Serving, 1 Lb, 15 Servings (Packaging May Vary) : Health & Household©2022-2026 Soul Healer17:77, LLC.

From Hidden Pain to Healing: My Journey with Emotional Eating, Surgery, And Faith: Episode 369
Send us Fan MailThe chair looks sturdy until it doesn’t. The seatbelt looks standard until it clicks past your limit. That’s where our conversation begins—at the quiet breaking points that make everyday life feel like a test, and the moment you decide to fight for a life that fits.We open with the raw truth of public anxiety: booths that bruise, flights that leave legs burning, and the shame of asking for what your body needs. From there, we trace the path into emotional eating—how comfort foods become constant companions, how isolation grows, and why cultural judgment misses the full picture of what people carry. We talk about the invisible struggles you can’t see at a glance—addiction, codependency, stress—and the radical power of small compassion, the kind that starts with a real “How are you?” and waits for the answer.The health choices are unflinching. We break down the lived experience of Adipex (phentermine): furnace-like heat, racing heartbeat, breathlessness, and weeks of sharp irritability. We also share a confusing spiral of hot flashes and shame, and what it taught us about listening to the body without panic. Then comes a turning point: choosing gastric sleeve surgery not as a shortcut, but as a disciplined tool. We get practical about what life looks like after surgery—reflux realities, portion limits, why protein matters, and the hard rule to avoid eating two to three hours before sleep. There’s honesty here about cravings that linger and the small, reliable rituals that help, like choosing safe foods that sit well and being patient with progress.Threaded through it all is faith and resilience. Prayer and spoken word poetry became a lifeline during job loss, housing upheaval, and days that felt endless. The message isn’t perfection; it’s surrender, structure, and the courage to ask for help. If you’re navigating emotional eating, stimulant side effects, or a surgical path, you’ll find both practical guidance and steady hope.If this conversation meets you where you are, follow the show, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review so others can find it. Your story matters, and your next step can start today.©2022-2026 Soul Healer17:77, LLC. All Rights Reserved.

How Surviving Street Violence, Hurricanes, And Snowy Roads Taught Me To Take Life One Day At A Time, with Chauncey Mays: Epsiode 368
Send us Fan MailWhat does it actually feel like to stand inside the chaos—sirens blaring, crowds surging, storms rolling in—and keep your head clear enough to help? We sit down with Chauncey Mays, a Florida-born cop, former firefighter, trucker, and dad, to trace a life spent where pressure is high and time is short. His stories are raw, funny, and disarming: a jam-packed Easter block party where gunfire cracks through the music, hurricane evacuations that turn gas stations into flashpoints, and a semi skidding through unplowed streets while the clock keeps ticking.Chauncey opens up about the emotional toll of public safety: the calls involving kids, the wrecks that never leave your mind, and the quiet moments when you have to reset before the next dispatch. We unpack practical tools for resilience—fast debriefs with coworkers, the right kind of dark humor, and the discipline to call it when conditions turn unsafe. Along the way, he reminds us why service still matters, from the State Guard’s hurricane support to lifting a stranger out of the sand on a crowded beach. The thread running through it all is a steady creed: take one day at a time, handle what’s in front of you, and don’t let tomorrow’s noise drown out today’s choices.It’s not all heavy. We talk fatherhood, travel in Old San Juan, and even a spirited review of budget-friendly cruises—proof that joy and recovery belong in every resilience plan. If you’re curious about law enforcement realities, firefighter life, hurricane prep, trucking in winter, or how to cope without going numb, this conversation offers grounded insights and a few much-needed laughs.

Delivered From Self-Destruction: Faith, Prison, And A Second Chance, with John Vaughn: Episode 367
Send us Fan MailSome stories punch through the noise and make you rethink what protection, purpose, and peace really mean. John Vaughn’s journey starts in the streets of Indianapolis and spirals into fast money, arrests, and a near-death moment that should have ended everything. Instead, he walked away with a question that reappeared at every crossroads: who keeps rescuing me when I’m not even looking for help?We sit with John as he retraces life before and after prison, the lure of quick cash and new cars, and the sharp emptiness he calls the “God void.” The turning point arrives on a front porch: a neighbor says God sent him, prays over John’s ruined shoulder, and years of scans and surgery plans are eclipsed by instant healing. That moment doesn’t just restore movement; it resets meaning. John opens the Bible and finds it alive—promises about protection, provision, and peace that prove steady when shelves go empty and costs climb.Together, we explore how faith moved from vague belief to daily practice: praying and fasting, anchoring in scripture, and refusing to let fear write the story. John talks candidly about reentry, low wages, child support, and the grind of starting over, and how trusting God turned survival into endurance. He names the trap of status chasing, echoes Solomon’s warning about vanity, and shows why building on a solid foundation matters when the world shakes.If you’ve ever wondered whether grace can break cycles, or whether a promise on a page can carry you through a hard week, this conversation offers both candor and hope.

From War Zones To Meaning, with John Graham: Episode 364
Send us Fan MailA life lived at full tilt can look heroic from the outside—until the adrenaline wears off. John Graham takes us from a freighter at 17 to Denali’s lethal north wall, from hitchhiking through revolutions to a siege in Hue where everything changed. What began as a chase for danger becomes a candid reckoning with purpose, PTSD, and the hard pivot from thrills to service.We trade summit photos for substance as John explains how he rebuilt meaning at the United Nations, pushed for peace and justice across Africa, and helped end apartheid. Then we dig into the Giraffe Heroes Project, a storytelling platform he helped shape with Anne Medlock that spotlights unsung people who “stick their necks out” to fix real problems—whistleblowers, community organizers, teenagers cleaning up polluted streams. John shows why stories move people faster than lectures, and how hearing from someone who looks like you can nudge you from complaint to action.The conversation turns practical and personal: what trust-building actually looks like when your relatives disagree on fundamental issues, how small talk about grandkids opens space for joint work, and where to find common ground on local environmental fights. We also touch on his “Badass Granddad” short videos, where hair-raising scenes become three-minute lessons on courage, patience, and community. If you’ve felt the tug to do more than scroll, this is a roadmap—clear, humane, and born of hard-earned experience.Subscribe for more human stories, share this with someone who needs a nudge toward action, and leave a review to help others find it.

Woman-To-Woman: A New Faith Community
Send us Fan MailA single sentence can turn a breakdown into a breakthrough. After a rough day stacked with work stress, family needs, and an unexpected bill, a tense phone call took an unexpected turn: an apology, a blessing, and a quiet assurance from one woman to another that everything would be okay. That moment of grace didn’t just soothe raw nerves—it sparked a calling to create a space where women can bring their real stories and be met with faith, empathy, and strength.We introduce the Woman-to-Woman community, a faith-based home for Christian women and women in transition who wrestle with guilt, shame, or the fear that their past disqualifies them from God’s love. We talk about the armor of perfection and why it’s so heavy, the scars hidden under polished smiles, and the courage it takes to speak truth in a world that often prefers silence. You’ll hear how empathy diffuses anger, how prayer reframes pain, and how sisterhood can lift burdens that feel impossible to carry alone. We lay out what’s next: twice-monthly meetups, shared testimonies, practical support, and the upcoming Woman-to-Woman Academy designed to deepen learning and accountability.If you’ve asked how to move forward, whether God will forgive you, or where to find safe community, this conversation offers a path.

If Bullying Is Legal, What Protects Your Mind, with Andy Regal Part 2: Episode 363
Send us Fan MailBullying at work doesn’t always look like a headline—most of the time, it looks like subtle power plays, isolation, and quiet harm that never makes the news. We sit down with veteran TV executive and anti-bullying advocate Andy Regal to unpack why abuse of power thrives in modern workplaces, how the legal system leaves targets exposed, and what it actually takes to protect your peace without abandoning your career. From Hollywood controversies to everyday offices, the patterns are the same: charismatic high performers shielded by proximity to power, HR constrained by structure, and loyal employees paying the price with their health.Andy shares lived experience from major newsrooms and production floors, plus the evidence he’s gathered while writing Surviving Bully Culture. We explore the difference between illegal harassment and still-legal bullying, the business costs of “brilliant jerks,” and the psychological fallout that lingers as PTSD, insomnia, and shame. You’ll hear practical steps to regain control: documenting patterns, setting firm boundaries, moving key conversations to writing, finding allies, and building a discreet exit strategy before you need it. We also talk healing—why mental health days matter, how community support reduces isolation, and how small wins, exercise, sleep, and creativity rebuild agency.There’s hope here. Real leadership looks like empathy under pressure, not humiliation. Your value isn’t measured by a bully’s approval, and your future isn’t defined by one toxic team. If you’ve ever cried on the way to work or questioned your worth because of someone else’s behavior, this conversation offers clarity, tools, and a path forward.

Find My Way Back Home (Spoken Word): Episode 362
Send us Fan MailIf you’ve ever tried to carry everything alone and felt the ache of distance from God, this conversation will feel like a mirror and a map. We start with the raw truth of wandering hearts and the surprising tenderness of a love that keeps calling us home. From there, we step into the clarity of 2 Corinthians 10:5—capturing thoughts, dismantling inner arguments, and rebuilding a mind that can rest in Christ. The goal isn’t to impress God; it’s to live free, with a conscience that’s awake and a spirit that’s steady.We pray through the honest stuff: admitting sin without excuse, asking for mercy, and requesting the deeper work—wash me clean, renew my mind, purify my heart, restore joy. That prayer becomes a practical guide to spiritual reset, moving beyond shame into a rhythm where grace fuels obedience. You’ll hear how gratitude changes the texture of the day, why turning from what harms you opens space for peace, and how small, daily choices form a real road to redemption.By the end, we return to identity: God as home, God as peace, God as the place where we can be fully ourselves. If you’re carrying a heavy mind or walking a lonely road, take a few minutes to breathe, listen, and begin again.

From Meth to Mercy, with Timothy Blaine: Episode 361
Send us Fan MailWhat do you do when your world is shrinking to the next high and the next court date? Robin sits down with her uncle, author and YouTuber Timothy Blaine, for an unflinching, hope-forward story about meth addiction, San Quentin’s HIV unit, and the moment faith rerouted a life. Tim spent 17 years using and cycled through lockups 40 times. Then something shifted. Letters from family reached him. A quiet conviction took hold. He walked out determined never to return to drugs—and 25 years later, he hasn’t.We explore why meth felt like relief during the terrifying early HIV years and how selling on the streets became survival when the system made freedom a moving target. Tim describes the violence that finally broke the spell, the strange calm of quarantine in a converted prison gym, and the first days of believing he could be more than a record of charges. That belief sparked a vocation. He wrote Meth Monster to tell the truth about addiction and deliverance, then built a bold fictional universe: the Love and Gospel Music series, weaving spirits, queer identity, and the gospel industry’s hidden tensions; Epiphany, a listener favorite; and The Label, a ghost story about legacy and the unseen. From there, the YouTube beef sector inspired three sharp murder mysteries—Murder in the Beef Sector, Deadly Wager, and Who Shot the Caller?—probing doxing, clout, and consequences. His recent book, The Battle, pits a relentless spirit against the fentanyl trade, asking hard questions about harm and justice.Along the way, Tim shares the daily rhythms that keep him grounded: serving as an usher, caring for his dog, writing, and showing up online with humor and candor. The through-line is clear: healing didn’t erase the past; it reassigned its purpose. Whether you connect with the faith language or the craft, you’ll hear a roadmap for choosing life over numbness, community over isolation, and creation over despair.If this story moved you, tap follow, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help others find the show.©2022-2026 Soul Healer17:77, LLC.
