Hold On With Me
by Rylie Jo
H.O.W.M (Hold on With Me) is about healing out loud — so nobody feels like they have to carry it all alone. It’s a space where we talk about what it’s really like living with anxious feelings, and what we wish more people understood. These are real stories, real feelings — not perfect — because our struggles might shape us, but they don’t get to define us. This is hope, healing, and holding on — together. One step at a time.

Bryan Searle on Leadership, Listening, and Life
In this episode of Hold On With Me, I sit down with my uncle, Bryan Searle — former president of Idaho Farm Bureau, farmer, husband, father, and grandpa — to talk about leadership, relationships, faith, family, and the lessons life teaches us along the way.What started as a conversation about Farm Bureau turned into something much deeper about learning to listen, loving people through differences, building meaningful relationships, and realizing that nobody has life fully figured out.Bryan shares stories from his years of leadership, what he’s learned about communication, balancing family and work, and why the relationships we build matter more than being “right.”This episode felt honest, grounding, and full of reminders about what really matters most.
