#198 - A story of wild trails, darker nights, and a love that wouldn't let go. I sat down with author and long-distance hiker Wing Williams to unpack his “howling twenties,” the constant motion that took him across 49 states, and the quiet rituals that hid a growing addiction. From Mount Washington to the Appalachian Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail, Wing explains how the woods taught him endurance and community while alcohol promised relief from an unseen torment he now names as spiritual warfare.What follows is a candid look at rock bottom: seizures, medical detox, and the moment pride finally broke into surrender. Wing shares why asking for help is the bravest first step, how family showed up when it counted, and why spiritual and medical support must work together when alcohol has become a lifeline and a trap. We also explore the stark difference between hiking with a bottle and living strong in sobriety, the loneliness of being misunderstood, and the humble daily practices that keep recovery honest.Cinereal, Wing's new memoir, threads these pieces into a story about addiction, faith, and redemption that is both gritty and life-giving. You'll hear practical insights on recognizing early warning signs of dependency, how long trails like the AT and PCT become blueprints for resilience, and what it means to rebuild identity on purpose instead of performance. If you've ever felt lost in the silence after the summit, this conversation offers a handhold: hope is real, healing is possible, and you don't have to walk alone.If this episode moved you, tap follow, leave a quick review to help others find the show, and share it with a friend who needs to hear that redemption is still on the table.To learn more about Wing and his book check out wingwilliams.com and give him a follow on Instagram @cinerealememoir.Want to be a guest on Journey with Jake?

"You're a 55-year-old woman. You don't need her permission." Those words from a friend became Kristen's wake-up call.

What happens when the dream life you've spent decades building feels more like a nightmare you can't wake up from?Today's conversation is for the person who looks successful on the outside... but feels quietly disconnected on the inside. If you've ever wondered:Why do I feel empty when everything looks “right”?Why am I exhausted by a life I'm supposed to be proud of?Why does walking away feel both terrifying and necessary?This episode will hit close to home.What This Episode Is Really AboutIn this deeply honest conversation, I sit down with Matthew Blades—a former nationally syndicated radio host who spent 28 years living the dream so many people chase.The career.The money.The recognition.The life everyone else wanted.And yet… it nearly cost him everything.This is the story of what happens when success stops being enough, when your body forces you to listen, and when the bravest move forward is the one that looks like quitting from the outside.But make no mistake—this isn't a story about giving up.It's a story about waking up.Inside This Conversation, We Explore:What it feels like to succeed publicly while quietly falling apartThe moment your body starts screaming what your mind has been ignoringWhy panic attacks, burnout, and chronic stress are often messages—not malfunctionsThe difference between building a life and living oneWhat it really means to “blow up what you built” without destroying yourselfHow generational patterns, unhealed trauma, and outdated beliefs quietly shape our decisionsWhy the hardest conversations are often the most freeing onesHow to walk away from an identity you've worn for decades—and rebuild from truthIf You're Listening Right Now…This episode isn't asking you to quit your job.It's asking you to listen to yourself.To notice the quiet signals you've been explaining away.To question whether the life you're maintaining is still the life you want.To consider that walking away doesn't mean you failed—it may mean you finally chose yourself.You don't need to have all the answers.You just need the courage to ask the right questions.One Final ThoughtIf this conversation stirred something in you... Don't rush to quiet it. That discomfort might be clarity knocking.

#197 - Forbidden stories aren't just about shock—they're about truth we're often afraid to name. I sat down with author Bria Rose to explore how dark romance gives readers a safe place to wrestle with power, consent, and grief, and how a reimagined Beauty and the Beast can turn survival into self‑love. Bria shares how childhood bullying and a lifelong bond with Belle's courage shaped her voice, then opens the doors to Her Dark Promise, where Belle is the Beast, the castle is in France, and the magic is human: trauma, desire, and the choice to heal on your own terms.We move from Disneyland memories to real‑world cast life—4 a.m. shifts, sunrise yoga at the castle, and the electric joy of cast previews that remind grownups why Walt designed the park for them, too. Then Bria breaks down dark romance with clarity: morally gray leads, explicit trigger notes, and tropey pressure cookers that challenge comfort zones without glamorizing harm. She explains how to retell a classic without infringing copyright—keeping essence, ditching replicas—and why nods like “the gray stuff” land best when anchored by character depth.The publishing journey is a masterclass: a three‑month draft, two years of rewrites, a decisive pivot to self‑publishing, and a learning curve through KDP, keywords, ISBNs, and design. Sixty cold emails led to one yes and a special edition—proof that you only need one door to open. Along the way, Bria centers representation and found family: all types of characters, sign language, and a castle that becomes a refuge for anyone told they don't belong. We wrap with new projects—an audiobook, a HarperCollins imprint deal, a spicy Pinocchio retelling—and practical advice for aspiring writers: write the words, then make them better.If this conversation sparked something in you, tap follow, share it with a friend who loves retellings, and leave a quick review. Your support helps more curious listeners find the show and keeps these stories moving.To learn more about Bria and her books check out www.authorbriarose.com and give her a follow on Instagram @authorbriarose. Give me a follow on Instagram @journeywithjakepodcast and learn more about my personality and what I love.Want to be a guest on Journey with Jake?

From the angel Gabriel's announcement to the birth of Christ in Bethlehem, this episode highlights Mary's humble yes to God and how her role as a mother forever changed the course of history.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Jim Gulledge, author of the book Green Forest, Red Eath, Blue Sea. Jim Gulledge is the author of A Poor Man's Supper. The novella was selected for inclusion in the North Carolina Collection at UNC-Chapel Hill and the W.L. Eury Appalachian Collection at Appalachian State University. Over the course of his academic training, Dr. Gulledge earned an A.B. degree in Christian education from Pfeiffer University, an M.A. in English from Clemson University and a DMin in theological studies from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. His career highlights included participation in the Adult Development Institute at Harvard University, the Fulbright German Administrators Exchange Program and the C.S Lewis Summer Residence program in Oxford, England. A life-long resident of the Carolinas, Jim and his wife, Linda, enjoy visiting with their four children and son-in-law and daily life with their miniature schnauzer, Luka.   In my book review, I stated Green Forest, Red Earth, Blue Sea is a beautiful Southern fiction set of short stories. I fell instantly in love with these stories that take place in the state I call home - North Carolina. Each of the three stories takes place in a different part of the state and follow three connected families. The stories, though they take place during different times and in different places, stay connected through a family heirloom.   Unlike most books I enjoy this one has many varied characters, so there isn't one character to fall in love with. Instead, readers fall in love with place. And Jim did an excellent job helping readers come to love North Carolina, from the green hills of the mountains to the red clay of the piedmont to the sandy shores of the ocean. I also enjoyed discovering how each family connected with one another and how they managed to cover the state in a few generations.   We start in the mountains as trains bring change - meeting two young lovers whose time together is fleeting. Next, we find ourselves saving peaches from a deadly spring freeze. Can this couple eek out a living in the clay? The last story asks us to cheer for an orphan boy and the chance to find buried treasure against the backdrop of a tropical storm. And finally, catch a quick glimpse of a story yet to be told when a boy from the beach glimpses a girl from the mountains - and we feel that it will all start again.   Jim tells a delightful series of stories, and you won't want to miss this book. It would make a great gift for any NC native!   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Jim Gulledge FB: @jim.gulledge.12   Purchase Green Forest, Red Eath, Blue Sea on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/4oI77Mw Ebook: https://amzn.to/47IXRAE   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

As we close out the year, today we slow down and reflect together. This final Morning Chat of 2025 is not about tactics, growth hacks, or chasing trends. It is a community pause. We look back on the wins that reminded us why we podcast, share one word we want to carry into 2026, and talk about how we want to show up for our listeners in the year ahead. You will hear honest reflections about creative fatigue, motivation, consistency, boundaries, and the seasons that come with making content over time. We talk about reconnecting with purpose, letting go of pressure, and giving ourselves permission to rest without guilt. This is an invitation to notice what you built this year, even if it feels messy or unfinished. To name what mattered. To ask yourself what you want more of, and what you are ready to release.Episode Highlights:[02:24] Reflecting on 2025 and looking ahead to 2026[04:02] Choosing guiding words for 2026[04:46] Sharing personal words and intentions[12:21] Overcoming creative slumps[22:44] Focusing on goals for 2026[30:24] A thoughtful discussion on the overuse of authenticity[35:42] Promises to listeners for 2026[41:21] Podcasting wins and end-of-year reflectionsLinks & Resources: Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Remember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

#196 - What does it really take to walk away from a peak career, point your bow into headwinds, and chase a goal so big it scares you? I sat down with Malaysian sailor Fabian Fernandez, who circumnavigated the globe on his own terms—eschewing the easy “milk run” to round the Cape of Good Hope and steer straight into the kind of weather that makes legends and humbles egos.Fabian's story isn't a montage of perfect beaches. It's a masterclass in planning, patience, and purpose. He breaks down how years of engineering and manufacturing shaped his voyage like a mega-project: route windows, finances, maintenance, and timing all choreographed to create momentum without gambling safety. He shares why he stopped often, how he used seasons to his advantage, and why the planning was harder than the sailing. You'll hear a frank take on destinations—why French Polynesia felt overrated, why the Cook Islands and South Africa stole his heart, and why he scouted the Beagle Channel only to choose the Panama Canal after weighing joy against endurance in subpolar cold.At the core is a spiritual journey. Thirty-two days alone across the Pacific stripped away the “white noise” of modern life and surfaced a simple truth: meaning grows when you give back. Fabian talks about faith, the courage to quit a prescribed path, and the cruising community's radical kindness that ignores borders, race, and creed. He also honors the ocean's cost, recounting the loss of a careful solo sailor friend—a reminder that respect and preparation are nonnegotiable.We wrap with what comes next: talks on mental resilience, a short documentary, and a book that reframes adventure as an inner stretch, not a postcard. If you need a push to set your own big, hairy, audacious goal—and the practical playbook to make it real—this conversation will nudge you from someday to start. Subscribe, leave a review, and share this with someone who's ready to trade comfort for courage.To learn more about Fabian check out his website www.destinydawnsailing.com and give him a follow on Instagram @destinytwelve.Be sure and check out my Instagram for clips from the show and some snippets into my personal journey @journeywithjakepodcast. Want to be a guest on Journey with Jake?

Does every podcast need a lesson, or can a good story be enough? In today's evaluation, we examine Shared Delights, a short-form storytelling podcast designed to offer warmth, humor, and a brief escape. Instead of aiming for transformation or instruction, the show focuses on how a story feels in the moment and what it gives the listener emotionally. Using Shared Delights as a case study, we take a close look at how pacing, pauses, and delivery shape clarity and attention. We explore sound design choices and how music and effects can either support the story or pull focus away from it. We also talk about the balance between structure and spontaneity, and why alignment between intention, sound, and presentation matters more than polish alone.
