Grief is something every one of us will face in this life… but very few people talk about it honestly. On this episode of the Beliefcast, I sit down with Shay Martin, a licensed therapist, grief advocate, and powerful voice for those navigating love, loss, and healing. After walking beside her husband Tanner through a five-year battle with stage IV colon cancer, Shay found herself facing one of the most difficult realities imaginable—becoming a young widow and solo mom. Instead of hiding from the pain, she chose to share her story. Today, Shay helps people all over the world understand that grief is not something to fix or rush through. It’s something we learn to carry… and through it, we discover the depth of love that still remains. This conversation is honest, raw, and incredibly powerful. If you or someone you love has experienced loss, this episode will touch your heart.

Dee Noyes’ story is one of collapse and courageous rebuilding. After losing her family, facing prison, addiction, and deep self-hatred, Dee entered treatment at Wasatch Recovery. What she found there wasn’t just sobriety. She found time. Time to understand the trauma. Time to break the people-pleasing patterns. Time to discover who she truly was beneath the pain. Today she is over two years clean and sober, living a life she once believed was impossible. This episode is a powerful reminder that identity drives behavior — and when we heal the root, transformation becomes possible.

There’s something powerful about men who choose to stay connected… no matter what life throws at them. This episode hit different. I sat down with some of my closest lifelong friends: Drew Tovey, Dean Thompson, Scott Forbes, and Sean “Mike” Pratt. We didn’t hold back. We talked about the struggles, the mistakes, the pain… and the growth that came because of it. There were moments we laughed hard… and moments that brought us to tears. This is what real brotherhood looks like. If you’re in a battle right now, I hope this reminds you, you’re not alone.

Some stories don’t just inspire you…They invite you to heal. Amber Washington’s journey from childhood trauma to leadership is one of the most honest conversations we’ve had on the Beliefcast. In her powerful memoir, (W)hole: My Journey to W, Amber shares her lived experience with childhood sexual abuse and the long, courageous road toward healing, voice, and leadership. She reminds us that healing isn’t about pretending it didn’t happen. It’s about becoming whole because it happened. Her work through Whole Heals is transforming how leaders think about trauma, neurodivergence, and what it truly means to create safe spaces, at home and at work. This conversation will make you reflect. It will challenge you and it will remind you that you are not broken.

In this week’s Beliefcast, I sit down with Becky Kemp — motivational speaker, mindset coach, and author of The Word Effect — to talk about the life-changing power of intentional language.

This conversation is uplifting, practical, and full of hope.

Today’s guest is Steve Mann, a global entrepreneur, philanthropist, and mentor whose life work centers on one powerful truth: stories shape who we become. Steve has lived and worked across the world, from Africa to Southeast Asia, founding businesses, supporting charitable foundations, and learning firsthand that wisdom isn’t meant to be stored… it’s meant to be shared. He believes storytelling is one of the most powerful tools we have to create connection, pass down values, and build a legacy that lasts far beyond us. His new book, Stories That Shape Us, is a practical guide for parents, grandparents, and mentors who want to strengthen relationships and pass down wisdom, joy, and love to the next generation. Steve Mann reminds us that stories are how wisdom, values, and love survive generations.
