In a raw, unfiltered conversation, Tanya and host Keira Brinton explore the truth behind "red flags," how our bodies and inner knowing are constantly guiding us, and why so many women override their intuition in the name of being chosen. Tanya shares how recognizing her patterns transformed her life—and how choosing her worth over her wounds became the foundation for her expanding body of work, including Soft Strength and She Who Creates. This episode is a powerful invitation to stop self-abandonment and step fully into the life you are meant to create.

In a deeply personal and revealing conversation, Joyce and host Keira Brinton explore the hidden ways we resist our own healing, how the body becomes the messenger of the soul, and why so many people unknowingly stay attached to the very stories that keep them stuck. Joyce shares how forgiveness—especially self-forgiveness—becomes the gateway to freedom, and how learning to listen to the body's signals can transform pain into healing, clarity, and purpose.

Julia shares how releasing control, building community, and redefining success has transformed her life, her business, and her mission—guiding entrepreneurs to create wealth, impact, and freedom without sacrificing what matters most.

This episode of the JOA Publishing Podcast features JOA author Katie Jo Finai, whose book Sovereign Soul was born from profound personal loss, spiritual unraveling, and a courageous return to her own direct connection with the divine. In a deeply intimate and expansive conversation, Katie Jo and host Keira Brinton explore the moment her world shattered with the loss of her son, the spiritual questioning that followed, and how that pain became the doorway to a new understanding of God, truth, and personal authority. Katie Jo shares how releasing inherited beliefs, trusting her inner voice, and choosing transformation over suffering allowed her to turn her story into a living transmission—one that invites others to reclaim their sovereignty, heal through their experiences, and remember that there is no one standing between them and the divine.

This episode of the JOA Publishing Podcast features JOA author Meagan Skidmore, whose book Transparency: How I Learned to See Through My Journey as a Parent of a Transgender Kiddo was born from a deeply personal unraveling of faith, identity, and unconditional love. In a courageous and expansive conversation, Meagan and host Keira Brinton explore what happens when long-held beliefs are challenged by real-life experience, and how choosing love over fear can become a path to liberation—for both parent and child.

In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Josh and host Keira Brinton talk about what happens after survival—after the crisis, after the adrenaline, after the world moves on. Josh shares how responding to the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, losing loved ones, and carrying years of unprocessed pain led him to discover that the greatest courage is not only found in facing death, but in choosing healing, asking for help, and rebuilding a life with purpose, aliveness, and hope.

In this deeply personal solo episode, Keira opens the door into the sacred process of writing through divine guidance, exploring how the visions God gives us require us to transform into the person capable of carrying them. She shares the spiritual laws revealed to her while writing—magnification and multiplication—and how devotion, cellular recoding, and surrender to God's direction became the path of transfiguration in her own life. Keira invites listeners to stop running from the visions placed inside them and instead rise into the leader, prophet, or messenger they were anointed to become.

In a deeply intimate conversation, Caitlin and host Keira Brinton explore what happens when the rules no longer bring peace, how God meets us inside the body as an actual temple, and why "worthiness" was never the price of connection. Caitlin shares how choosing authenticity—praying like a real friend, releasing fear-based obedience, and listening in breath and silence—became the doorway to a truth that changes everything: you are still loved, still led, and still chosen right here, right now.

In an intimate, wide-ranging conversation, Jen and host Keira Brinton explore how the patterns women carry in their closets mirror the patterns they carry in love, why "radiant women" don't need fixing, and how releasing old narratives is the gateway to calling in a true forever partnership. Jen shares how writing Radiant cracked her open, sent her on a reclamation journey, and ultimately became the living manual for the work she's here to do—helping women become the version of themselves who can receive love without self-abandonment.

This episode of the JOA Publishing Podcast features host Keira Brinton in a powerful solo transmission on imposter syndrome, lived truth, and the sacred responsibility of taking action on your calling. In a deeply activating conversation, Keira speaks directly to the visionary who knows they are called to write a book—but has been trapped in the Bermuda Triangle of misalignment, where inspiration without action breeds anxiety and doubt. She reveals how imposter syndrome is not a flaw but a symptom of stagnation, and how the only way out is through embodied action, fire-walking courage, and what she calls "lived truth." Keira shares why this moment in history demands authors who have actually lived what they speak—and how when you bring God something real to multiply, miracles follow.

This episode of the JOA Publishing Podcast features therapist, author, and "soul soldier" Lindsay Taylor, whose work sits at the intersection of suicide prevention, addiction recovery, and radical hope. In a deeply vulnerable conversation, Lindsay and host Keira Brinton talk about what it really means to battle suicidal ideation and addiction, why those who stay are warriors on the front lines, and how grief, loss, and faith have shaped Lindsay into a relentless advocate for the hurting. From losing her brother and clients to overdose and suicide, to creating her brand Ascender Collective and the "Brighten the World" line in honor of Brighton Hatch, Lindsay shares a message for anyone in the dark: you are not a mistake, you are a miracle—and every day you choose to live is an act of staggering strength.

This episode of the JOA Publishing Podcast features JOA author Camille Nichols, whose book Holy Shit, There Is a God was born from years of numbing, a near-death wake-up moment, and a fierce return to the Light within. In a raw, unfiltered conversation, Camille and host Keira Brinton talk about living a "prescribed life" versus a "light life," the pandemic of numbing happening in our culture, and how meeting God—in the most unexpected way—snapped her back into her body, her family, and her purpose. Camille shares how reconnecting with the divine, her ancestors, and her own heart has turned her story of quiet survival into a movement of awakening for anyone who feels like a dead soul walking.

This episode of the JOA Publishing Podcast features JOA author and plastic surgeon Dr. Nicholas Howland, whose book The Atheist's Prayer: A Memoir of Gratitude traces his journey from twice being excommunicated from the LDS church and walking away from God, to rebuilding his life through radical self-honesty, healing, and self-love. In a vulnerable, truth-telling conversation, Nicholas and host Keira Brinton talk about religious trauma, the way excommunication shatters your sense of worth, and how years of numbing, overworking, and self-abandonment can finally give way to inner freedom. Nicholas shares how therapy, breathwork, plant medicine, and daily "me time" helped him uncover the self-love that was always there—and how his story is a lifeline for anyone who feels abandoned by God, community, or themselves and needs to know they are never truly alone.

This episode reveals what makes JOA authors different: they don't write from ego, hustle, or AI—they write because God called them to. Keira explains that the real work of authorship is becoming the leader who can actually publish the book, not just write it. That's why JOA wraps publishing in prayer, business strategy, sacred gatherings, and now a TV show—because it is our radical responsibility to get God-given messages into the world.

"It is our radical responsibility as authors to get these books into the world."

Through her journey from despair and near-death to building JOA Publishing, Keira reveals that every rebirth begins in the ashes, and that writing your book isn't just about publishing—it's about fulfilling your sacred calling to bring light into the world.

"I am not afraid; I was born to do this."
