Ep 263Kute Blackson
A beloved inspirational speaker and transformational teacher, Kute Blackson offers a fresh, bold look at spiritual awareness for a whole new generation. Born in Ghana, West Africa, Kute’s multicultural upbringing as the child of a Japanese mother and a Ghanaian father has spanned four different continents. His unique lineage lay the foundation for his approach to breaking down barriers and unlocking an individual’s true gifts and greatness. Though Kute was raised all over the world, he had always dreamed of life in America. As if by kismet, he won a green card just after finishing school in London. He came to America alone just months later, with no connections or prospects. When Kute arrived in Los Angeles, all he had to his name were two suitcases and the dream of seeking out the spiritual and self-help icons who had inspired him when he was a boy. Kute quickly learned that the “outside-in” approach favored by so many in the personal development space had to become an inside-out approach. So he decided to create his own method—a process that liberates the individual and the true self at the core and then pushes those gifts outward into the universe. This helps the individual get in touch with who they really are. It is a process of breaking free—so that the individual can live, give, and share the truest expression of their self. This is what Kute calls “Liberated Living.” You are going to enjoy and love Kute’s passion to make this world a better place! … #manifest #believe #faith #attraction #miracles #iam #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #depression #anxiety #happiness #hope #beliefcast #toddinspires #tsinspires ....

Ep 262Coss Marte
Coss Marte’s story is going to blow your mind! You will not believe what happened to him in solitary confinement at the end of a 7-year prison sentence. So, if you think you can’t change your circumstance or better your life, think again! In 2009, Coss Marte was sent to jail as the ringleader of a multi-million-dollar drug operation. He was also grossly overweight and warned by his physician that his current lifestyle if left unchecked, would likely kill him. Faced with this grim prognosis, Coss started to get in shape using the tools he had -- his prison cell and his own body weight. Within six months he lost 70 pounds and replicated his successful formula of bodyweight exercises with 20 other inmates. Then he launched CONBODY, a prison-style boot camp that has gained over 70,000+ clients and has hired 50+ formerly incarcerated individuals to teach fitness classes. Since the launch of his company, he’s been featured in over 200 major media outlets such as NBC, CNN, The New York Times, Men's Health, and has been a 3-time TED Talk Speaker, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. You will believe in miracles after listening to Coss! … #miracle #overcome #recovery #addiction #drugs #selflove #love #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #depressed #mentalillness #mentalhealthmatters #healing #hope #beliefcast #toddinspires #tsinspires ....

Ep 258Ariana Alejandra Gibson
Ariana Alejandra Gibson is going to change the world! Ariana is a documentary filmmaker and mental health activist who spent her early career as a creative director and brand strategist for companies ranging from tech startups like Clearcover to Fortune 500s like Dell, Elkay, and Nationwide. Ariana is the Founder and CEO of STIGMA, a new mental health app that uses storytelling to fight loneliness and improve mental health. She is also one of the 46% of Americans who will personally experience mental illness in their lifetimes and believes the only way to normalize conversations about mental health is to be brave enough to have them. When Ariana was growing up, she didn’t have an outlet for talking about her father who had schizophrenia. A boyfriend’s father even once said that his son couldn’t have children with Gibson because then their children would also have schizophrenia. She felt shamed and stigmatized for her father’s illness and figured others probably did too. So, she created the Stigma app, which allows users to share their personal struggles and stories and even ask for a message of hope. Gibson found that sometimes just hearing, “You are not alone,” can help a lot. Gibson is also partnering with BRAVE, which can connect users with mental health professionals. Gibson talks to host Jacoby Cochran about the origin of the app and how a social experiment in her neighborhood helped her decide she needed to create it. … #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #depression #anxiety #suicideprevention #love #depressed #mentalillness #happiness #suicidal #help #alone #life #lonely #ptsd #broken #pain #mentalhealthmatters #healing #recovery #hope #beliefcast #toddinspires #tsinspires ....

Ep 247Kelly Owen
Kelly Owen says that finding joy in the process is critical to a successful journey. “I am not scared of failing. I would instead try and fail than not try at all. Failing is a part of the process of learning and should be valued.” Kelly’s family motto is "I can do hard things." This saying has become sentimental to her family during various trials they have experienced through the years. During her doctorate, she realized that she can do hard things, but never alone. Kelly is a school counselor, a Ph.D. candidate, a mother of four, a military wife, a runner, and a Georgia peach. She earned a bachelor's and master's degree in behavioral and learning disabilities. After teaching special education and then general education for ten years, she decided to stay home with her children. Kelly’s husband, a Blackhawk helicopter pilot for the Georgia National Guard, was deployed to Iraq as they welcomed their third daughter into their family. Kelly has always loved the process of learning and has a passion for helping children feel loved, valuable, and teaching them they are capable of doing anything. Taking small steps of faith led her to discover her calling in life- counseling children through play therapy so they might find their voice and healing. Kelly is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and currently serves as the Gospel Doctrine Teacher. Outside of counseling and running, her most significant source of joy in this life lies with her family. You are going to absolutely love Kelly. … #teacher #faith #counseling #children #family #love #gratitiude #leader #health #LDS #mom #mindset #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #strong #light #inspiration #PhD #possible #beliefcast #tsinspires #toddinspires ....

Ep 246Roger & Ashley Bedsole
Ashley and Roger Bedsole have an unbelievable story of redemption and overcoming addiction together - they both share the same sobriety birthday. Two years after they were married, they were introduced to substances that would send them into an 8-year downward spiral of active addiction. They hid their problem from their family and friends. They eventually came clean and agreed to attend rehab- with one request. They wanted to go to rehab together. Roger is a firefighter and has been in the fire service for almost 30 years. Ashley has been a stay-at-home mom for almost 12 years where she homeschools her 2 oldest boys while chasing around two toddlers every day. Ashley started a blog in 2021, focused on addiction and recovery. Her personal journey has given her unique insight on recovering with a partner and her mission is to help as many families as she can navigate early recovery. She wants people to realize that recovery is NOT one size fits all. What works for you, be it with a partner or not, is okay. We all recover differently and she wants to break the stigma that surrounds couples and spouses. It IS possible. If you want it bad enough, anything is possible. Ashley and Roger live in North Carolina with their four children and are doing great.

Leslie Weirich is a suicide prevention advocate warrior! On September 10th, 2016, Leslie and her husband awoke to the doorbell ringing and the news that their 20-year-old-son, Austin, had taken his life. It was the moment that changed everything. Because of the unique circumstances surrounding her story, it would eventually capture the attention of national news. The response they received made her realize that her story was meant to be told. She states, “It has the power to save young lives and spare other parents the devastating loss we experienced.” Telling her story about Austin to save others is what gets her up and going every single day. It’s her passion and it has become her life’s work.

Ep 241Scott Wilhelm
Meet Scott Wilhelm, sinner turned saint. From panhandling on the side of a highway off-ramp, to detox, treatment and bible college in a matter of 6 months. Scott, with a decade and a half in active addiction, tells us how he went from heavy heroin addiction to speaking in churches, schools, and jails; sharing his message of hope and strength. He now has 6 years of continuous sobriety. He was born and raised one hour north of Toronto; where he has been blessed with two beautiful children and a loving supporting wife. He’s now the owner of a successful pool installation company. Scotts hopes are that his story can help to show how addiction is a progressive disease. How choices he made in high school and his early 20’s snowballed into 15 years of pain, loss, and complete isolation from everyone he loved. He’s now turned that pain into his story of recovery by building a solid foundation through faith in God, a 12-step recovery, and living a life of integrity. … #overcome #addiction #recovery #treatment #addictionrecovery #vunerable #awareness #recovered #faith #mindset #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #strong #love #light #inspiration #beliefcast #tsinspires #toddinspires ....

Upon graduation, he got married, started a family, and went on to earn an MBA from BYU. Within months of finishing his MBA program, Jon was diagnosed with advanced-stage thyroid cancer in early 2003. As a result of complications from his first surgery, Jon had a severed branch of his spinal accessory nerve and was prescribed oxycontin. This quickly progressed to include alcohol and other mind-altering substances. Jon’s story involves a 14-year struggle with drugs and alcohol, losing his career, and nearly losing his family. He tried using the knowledge from his education to fight this disease and felt too much shame to ask for help. In desperation, he said a prayer and asked for help. His prayer was answered in a remarkable way and continues to be answered every day since. On Aug 24, 2017, he went into a treatment program and now has an opportunity to work in recovery where he uses his experience to help others. Jon is in the process of opening a residential treatment facility that will have an emphasis on spiritual connection. He is actively involved in AA with his personal recovery and serves on the board for the non-profit recovery club in his community. … #overcome #addiction #clean #sober #AA #recovery #addictionrecovery #faith #mindset #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #strong #love #light #inspiration #beliefcast #tsinspires ....

For decades, Debra trained with and was an associate of Seth Riggs and Richard Miller, two of the top vocal pedagogues of the 20th & 21st centuries.

Ep 234Kelsey Autry
Kelsey Autry is a light that is now shining bright! You will not believe what Kelsey has overcome in her life. Abandoned by her parents when she was a child, 13 years of addiction, 3 DUI’s, overdoses, criminal charges, jail, and the worst was the lie that ‘she would always be a junkie!’ Now, in January she is going to celebrate with her supportive husband and two beautiful children, 4 years of being clean and sober! “I will always be a Junkie.” That’s the lie she told herself. She couldn’t see a future past waking up & feening for her next high. Doing whatever it took. She was lost & broken inside. Filled with darkness. She now lives in the light and has a powerful story that will inspire you to have hope to overcome your own challenges. Kelsey says to go after it! And for the ones looking down on you- (trust me, she had MANY), let them be the biggest motivators in your recovery! It feels good to know they now see her thriving when they once called her trash! Not anymore! SHE HAS RECOVERED! If you’re lost & broken inside right now- reach out. Seek treatment. It saved Kelsey’s life and I pray it saves yours, too. 🙏. … #faith #rehab #selflove #drugfree #sobercommunity #na #alcoholfreelife #alcoholic #mentalhealthawareness #anxiety #soberwomen #drugaddiction #grateful #addictionawareness #recoveryjourney #wellness #nonalcoholic #addictiontreatment #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #staystrong #beliefcast #tsinspires ....
