Podcasts about finding healing

Send us Fan MailGrief can break you open, but it can also point you towards the work you were meant to do. We sit down with debut author Sacha Hughes to talk about the real life roots behind her Soho Summers series and the emotional journey that runs underneath the laughter: losing her mum at 24, trying to outrun the pain through alcohol and chaotic dating, and the long path towards self love and self worth.Sacha shares the moment everything shifted on a “Shirley Valentine” style holiday, where an unexpected connection on the Adriatic cracked her world back open. She returns home knowing it cannot continue in any simple way, and chooses a different response: she writes. We unpack how that decision becomes a creative breakthrough, how fiction can carry truth without becoming a memoir, and why stories about love and loss can help readers process their own bereavement. If you're searching for romance novels with depth, or honest conversations about grief healing, this one will land.We also dig into the practical side of the writing life: leaving a corporate recruitment career, finding ideas again once the pressure lifts, building scenes and characters, and capturing inspiration in the Notes app on long Dorset beach walks. Sacha talks about editing reality checks, why boundaries protect creativity, and the daily meditation practice that keeps her grounded and connected.If you enjoy thoughtful chat about purpose, creativity, and turning pain into something that serves other people, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave us a review so more listeners can find Barn To The Soul.

Brad Ryan is a wildlife veterinarian, conservationist, and bestselling author whose remarkable journey with his grandmother inspired millions. After battling depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts during veterinary school, Brad made one courageous decision: taking his 85-year-old grandmother camping so she could see her first mountain. That trip grew into an eight-year adventure to all 63 U.S. National Parks... and transformed both of their lives. Today, Brad shares how nature became a place of healing, the surprising lessons he learned from Grandma Joy, and why courage often begins with a simple "yes." Together, we discuss mental health, forgiveness, family, purpose, and the extraordinary impact of choosing connection over isolation. My friends, if you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or wondered whether your life can change, this conversation is for you. You'll leave inspired to say yes to adventure, invest in the people you love, and trust that even the smallest act of courage can change a life.

In this deeply moving episode of Our Forever Smiles, host Laura Arroyo sits down with Amy Lewis Hofland, Director of the Crow Museum of Asian Art in Dallas, Texas, and an adult born with a cleft lip and palate. Amy shares her personal journey growing up with cleft, navigating years of surgeries, childhood bullying, self-image challenges, and the emotional realities that often went unspoken within families. Together, Laura and Amy explore the lasting impact of cleft beyond the operating room, discussing resilience, identity, family dynamics, and the importance of emotional support for both children and parents. Amy reflects on how art, mindfulness, compassion, and community became powerful tools for healing throughout her life and career. The conversation also touches on sibling experiences, beauty standards, public speaking, parenthood, advocacy, and how creating spaces for silence, reflection, and connection can help individuals affected by cleft thrive. Amy offers heartfelt encouragement to parents currently facing a cleft diagnosis, reminding them that their child is whole, beautiful, and capable of living a full and meaningful life. Whether you're a cleft parent, an individual born with a cleft, a healthcare professional, or someone seeking inspiration through stories of resilience and compassion, this episode is filled with wisdom, hope, and perspective.

Together, we unpack how EMDR works, what it feels like, and why it can be an impactful option for people navigating trauma, grief, and PTSD.  Toi shares her journey and reflects on how EMDR helped her process difficult memories in a new way, shift her emotional responses, and regain a sense of control. Along the way, she highlights the importance of self-advocacy in therapy, finding the right approach, and staying curious about evidence-based care. 

Michael Rix didn't choose music — music chose him. Growing up in Faith Assembly, a cult in rural Indiana that forbade medical treatment, secular music, and nearly any form of outside connection, Michael found his escape in a homemade guitar string stretched across a punishment paddle. Today, he's an eight-instrument musician with over 24 million streams, a residency in Nashville, and a Grand Ole Opry performance to his name. His memoir, From Cult to Country: An Asthmatic's Journey to Find More Air, tells the full story — including watching his infant brother die of untreated meningitis, surviving years of stress-induced asthma without medical care, and the long road to healing that followed.In this episode, Dr. Tara Perry sits down with Michael for a raw and remarkable conversation about what it costs to grow up without permission to be human, how trauma lives in the body long after the circumstances change, and why telling the truth about your story is one of the most powerful things you can do.Key Takeaways:When you're in a cult, you don't know you're in a cult (00:00:35) — Michael describes watching his father transform from a joyful, basketball-playing man into someone cold and controlled — and how noticing that contrast was one of his earliest signs that something was deeply wrong. The teachings of Hobart Freeman's Faith Assembly came in slowly, then all at once.A medical doctor who walked away from medicine (00:02:46) — Michael's father completed his residency as a heart surgeon, then quit the profession after a sermon convinced him that modern medicine was equivalent to witchcraft. Michael unpacks the twisted theology behind it — and what it cost their family when that belief was applied to their children's health.Over 300 deaths, all from treatable conditions (00:07:24) — Faith Assembly members died from dental infections, childhood illnesses, and ailments that penicillin would have resolved. Michael describes the congregation, the prosecutions that eventually followed, and the surreal reality of parents being sentenced to prison for letting their children die while trying to follow God.Stress-induced asthma and the body's way of keeping score (00:14:24) — From age 11 to 14, Michael suffered three-day asthma episodes that left him breathless on the sofa, too sick to move. No inhaler. No emergency room. It wasn't until decades later — after hearing a Nashville minister describe her own identical symptoms — that he understood his asthma was emotionally driven, his nervous system responding to a world it didn't feel safe in.Watching his brother die (00:25:24) — At 14, Michael witnessed his six-month-old brother John die of untreated meningitis. His father prayed over the infant until the final breath. Michael was standing in the living room. This is the moment the episode turns — and the anchor point from which so much of his healing work has since begun.Music as the original medicine (00:29:53) — Long before therapy or coaching, Michael found his way out through songwriting. With headphones, a CD player, and a notebook, he translated his interior world into lyrics. His album I Can See the Sun — 24 million streams — grew directly from those pages. He shares the song titles and the feelings behind them, and reflects on what it meant to finally say what he actually felt.The toxic beliefs trauma leaves behind (00:32:48) — Through a process called SoSo Prayer with a psychologist friend, Michael excavated the beliefs he'd built around his worst experiences: nobody will accept me if they know, better keep this buried, telling the truth will get me rejected. Dr. Tara connects this to the subconscious stories that run below the level of awareness — and explains why those stories often control outcomes long after the original wound has passed.What happened when Michael worked with Dr. Tara (00:34:37) — Michael describes the session: a deeply relaxed state, forgotten memories surfacing, and a palpable shift in the heaviness he'd been carrying for years. Within days, the anxiety he'd long struggled to name had lifted — and opportunities began opening around him in ways he hadn't expected. He describes feeling clear, unblocked, and no longer weighed down by a stress he couldn't locate.Ready to take your own next step?

In this episode of the Exploring More podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings continue the conversation around the Good Man Series, exploring what healing actually looks like—and why becoming a good man is inseparable from learning how to receive love. Healing isn't just about fixing what's broken. It's about uncovering the true self beneath the wounds, agreements, disappointments, and grief we've carried for years. Michael and SJ discuss the deeper work of restoration, the resistance many men feel toward receiving encouragement, and why even something as simple as a compliment can reveal what still needs healing. At the center of the conversation is a profound truth: good overcomes evil through love. Not striving. Not performance. Not shame. But through the restoring work of God that calls men back to who they truly are. Michael and SJ also unpack the effects of unresolved grief, the connection between emotional and physical health, and why healing is never meant to happen in isolation. Whether through friendship, brotherhood, or intentional spiritual practices, men need others to walk with them as they recover strength, goodness, and wholeheartedness. The journey toward healing isn't quick—but it is good. And the more whole a man becomes, the more freely he can love, lead, and live from the heart God intended. This episode is an invitation to keep going—to embrace the process, receive what God says is true about you, and trust that healing is still unfolding.

In this episode of More Than The Bag, we confronted the truth about God's Design vs. the Counterfeit.We exposed how the spirit of perversion operates—twisting what God created and distorting truth in the areas of identity, relationships, and sexuality. What the enemy perverts, God desires to restore.This conversation addressed how many of these distortions were rooted in trauma—molestation, rape, abandonment, rejection—and how those experiences opened doors to false beliefs and spiritual strongholds.We walked through the process of breaking agreement with the enemy, uprooting lies, and stepping into healing, truth, and freedom through Jesus Christ.This was not about condemnation—this was about restoration, identity, and deliverance.

Judith Blackstone, PhD, is the founder of the Realization Process, an approach for embodied psychological healing and nondual spiritual awakening that bridges psychotherapy, movement, and subtle awareness. A former psychotherapist of thirty-five years and an early professional dancer, Judith's life changed after a serious injury ended her performing career in her twenties. While lying on the floor one day "praying for help," Judith began to sense a subtle current of energy and a spacious awareness in the right and left sides of her body that helped her spine to heal. What began as a personal healing discovery evolved into what she later taught her dance students as a "subtle attunement"—the foundation of the Realization Process. Influenced by spiritual teachings on undivided awareness, including those of Adi Shankara, Judith's work points to what she calls fundamental consciousness: a felt sense of oneness that connects us deeply to ourselves and the world around us. Her books, including The Realization Process, Trauma and the Unbound Body, Belonging Here, and The Embodiment Workbook for Women, offer multiple entry points into this deeply embodied journey. In this episode, host Shay Beider and Judith discuss how many of us learned in childhood to "hold back" parts of ourselves—emotions, impulses, and expressions that didn't feel safe or acceptable—and how these patterns of restraint become physically embedded in the body over time. Judith explains how this tightening often lives in the fascia, the connective tissue she describes as the interface between mind and body, echoing principles found in myofascial work such as that of John Barnes. Through simple yet profound practices—bringing awareness into the hands and feet, sensing the space around the chest, and finding balance through the shoulder sockets—Judith guides listeners from merely being aware of the body to truly living within it. She shares how trauma, especially from childhood, can create subtle imbalances across the body, and how restoring this balance can open a pathway to greater calm, creativity, compassion, and presence. For Judith, healing is not about transcending the body but inhabiting it more fully, uncovering a depth of being where love, pleasure, and connection arise naturally. This conversation invites listeners to explore embodiment not only as a therapeutic tool, but as a doorway into a more grounded, spacious, and deeply human way of living.

Does a traumatic childhood doom you to unhappiness and dysfunction?  Meet Wendy Correa who overcame a horrific youth. Dreams were a key part of her recovery! Wendy’s debut book is memoir My Pretty Baby: Seeking Truth and Finding Healing. Wendy starts with a pivotal dream of a black jaguar which had her face then talks about how childhood trauma affects life-long mental health including addiction, depression, and even physical ailments like irritable bowel syndrome and heart disease. She says that 64% of people have experienced at least one of the ten traumas highlighted by the “ACE” scale which lists Adverse Childhood Experiences. She encourages listeners to google the ACEs quiz to start thinking about how trauma might be informing our own lives. She describes some of the modalities that were healing for her including meditation, psychotherapy, music, somatic practices saying “the issues are in the tissues.” Wendy describes the work by Bessel van der Kolk and his seminal book “The Body Keeps the Score.” After the break we talk about the dangers of toxic positivity and the art of learning “to suffer well” of which a pivotal component is forgiveness. She also mentions Whitney Goodman and Joan Didion. Here is a link to a short video clip of the conversation: The Full-Length video can be found here: BIO: Wendy B.

Happy Mindful Monday Everyone!In this week's episode, our host Allie Brooke sits down with Ali Hall.Ali Hall is a Bay Area-based artist specializing in atmospheric landscape paintings with abstract realism. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where she studied painting and graphic design. Her creative journey deepened during a personal recovery period, when painting became a source of healing and reflection. What began as a therapeutic outlet evolved into a dynamic practice that explores the intersection of memory, nature, and emotional restoration. Ali works primarily in acrylic, blending fluid brushstrokes, seamless color transitions, and intuitive mark-making to capture both the energy and the calm of California's coastline. Her painterly style is often described as what one might see when one squints and takes in a scene all at once, evoking a softened memory shaped by light, movement, and mood. Each piece carries an immersive quality, inviting viewers to pause and reconnect with their inner landscapes and the natural world.Her work has been featured in Clean Living Magazine, on KRON4TV's Live in the Bay, and at national and international art fairs, including the Superfine Art Fair in San Francisco, the Reno Tahoe International Art Show, and with SAB Gallery in Los Angeles. She also leads creative wellness workshops, helping others access creativity as a tool for reflection and emotional release. Ali seeks to create visually striking and thought-provoking pieces that foster meaningful connections between herself, her audience, and the environment. Looking ahead, she's eager to explore new themes, experiment further, and expand her reach through exhibitions and collaborations.In this episode, we discussThe Language of Coastal Landscapes: Exploring how abstract realism and nature-inspired art become a vessel for emotional storytelling, and why the coast serves as a powerful medium for deep reflection.The Healing Power of the Canvas: A deep dive into the intersection of creativity, healing, and purpose, and how engaging with art—whether as the creator or the observer—facilitates emotional release and restoration.Creativity as a Portal to Purpose: An exploration of the specific artistic experiences and pieces that bridge the gap between aesthetic beauty and internal transformation.Art as a Wellness Practice: How wellness-inspired art experiences provide a safe, somatic container for processing complex emotions and reconnecting with your inner truth.The Core of Authenticity in Art and Life: Why being true to your creative voice is a prerequisite for any healing journey, and how to shed "performance" in favor of raw, authentic expression.The "Everywoman" as Artist: Practical advice for those who don't consider themselves "artistic" to begin using creative expression as a tangible tool for personal well-being and soul-alignment. How to Connect w| AliWebsiteInstagram The Growth METHOD.

What story do you tend to tell yourself when conflict happens—“I’m failing,” “I’m unlovable,” “They’ll hurt me,” etc.? Where might unhealed past experiences be shaping how you see and react to present relationships? What would emotional safety look like for you? What boundaries, support, or healing might God be inviting you toward? Where do you sense God calling you to honesty—either with yourself, Him, or someone else? If your current relational or emotional patterns remain the same, where might they lead you? What could healing change? How does it encourage you to know that God does not shame your pain—but meets you in it with compassion and restoration?

In this episode, I'm opening up about something incredibly close to my heart: the power of service and how it has shaped my life through both joy and unimaginable loss. I share my early experiences volunteering with Meals on Wheels, the years I spent serving in Haiti with Haitian Roots, and the profound shift that happened after losing my 14-year-old son, Gage. In the middle of grief, I watched his friends search for comfort and it became clear that we needed to help them channel their pain into purpose. That moment became the beginning of the Gage Schroeder Compassion Foundation. You'll hear how we created a compassion-based curriculum for teens and elementary students, started Compassion Clubs across the country, and awarded nearly $80,000 in scholarships over the past eight years. I also talk about rebuilding after divorce, moving back to Utah, and how serving alongside kids continues to bring healing, purpose, and connection into my life.   Resources: The Meeting Place Membership Rock The Reels 1:1 Coaching Free Client Welcome Guide Additional Trainings and Resources Connect with Brittni: Follow me on the Gram - @brittni.schroeder Join my Facebook Group  Visit my website Subscribe to my Youtube You can find the complete show notes here: https://brittnischroeder.com/podcast/finding-healing-through-service

Ep 160 Description:  "Sexuality is ours. It isn't something we bring from the outside. It isn't dependent on having a partner. We can connect to that channel of sexuality, which is pure life force at any moment." —Naoli Vinaver   Pain is not the inevitable companion of childbirth—pleasure is.

Today on the Back Porch, we have a special treat for you as we're sharing a session from Kerygma this past year. Rev. Dr. Nicole Massie Martin, Chief Operating Officer at Christianity Today and founder of Soulfire International Ministries, unpacks “God's inconvenient promises.” Through the Shunammite woman's story, she shows how God's unexpected healing brings shalom and how trusting His presence leads to lasting peace and restoration. You won't want to miss this message, so grab your favorite beverage and your Bible, and join us on the porch!

In a world of AI disruption, endless striving, and nonstop noise, what if the real goal isn't progress, power, or even success—what if it's LOVE? Love is the only lesson, the only currency, and the only force strong enough to heal our lives and our world. Through timeless wisdom and radical insight, Derek reveals how love isn't just a feeling—it's a fierce practice, a quantum principle, and the blueprint for personal and global transformation. From Mandela to Martin Luther King Jr., from Jesus to the Bhagavad Gita, he shows how loving the truth within ourselves—and even within our so-called enemies—can resurrect hope, dissolve fear, and spark miracles.
