Today, I tap into the power of tapping with Ms. Amy Vincze, an EFT Tapping coach and founder of the Soar With Tapping app, to explore a unique and powerful tool for emotional healing. We dive into the origins of EFT—Emotional Freedom Technique—and how it's helping people manage trauma, PTSD, addiction, procrastination, and physical pain by tapping into energy meridians and rewiring emotional responses at their core.

Ms. Vincze breaks down the science behind tapping, including its roots in acupuncture and energy medicine, and explains how it lowers cortisol levels and neutralizes emotional triggers quickly and effectively. We also talk about the misconceptions around EFT, the difference between "big T" and "little t" trauma, and why many emotional wounds go unnoticed but still affect our health, relationships, and productivity.

Whether you're new to emotional healing or have tried traditional therapies without lasting results, this episode offers a fresh perspective and practical steps to begin your journey with a different type of healing.

Today, I sit down for a very raw and honest conversation with Rob Wheeler, a 10-year Navy veteran and former law enforcement officer turned transformational coach. We talk about his journey from battling PTSD, depression, and a career-ending knee injury to building a new life based on discipline, personal development, and fitness. Mr. Wheeler shares how he transitioned from serving aboard the USS Roosevelt to opening a gym and coaching countless others—despite losing that gym during COVID.

We go deep into military culture and the dangerous cycles of toxic leadership, unchecked trauma, and the lack of real mentorship for young service members. Mr. Wheeler reflects on his own struggles within the ranks and later in civilian life, and how a brutal military environment and law enforcement career nearly cost him everything—including his marriage. Through all that, he found his calling in fitness and mindset coaching, using the gym as a tool for healing, structure, and long-term growth.

This episode is a look at how unprocessed trauma, the loss of identity after military service, and broken systems push veterans toward isolation and even suicide. However, it’s also about hope—how purpose and gratitude can change everything. Mr. Wheeler offers not just his story, but actionable guidance for veterans, first responders, and anyone struggling with anger, health, or loss of direction.

Today, I sit down with Brandon Held, host of the Life Is Crazy podcast, to dive into a raw and unfiltered story spanning abuse, betrayal, military injustice, and personal transformation. Mr. Held walks us through his earliest memory at just two years old—witnessing domestic violence—and how that shaped his lifelong drive to protect others. We discuss his experiences growing up around addiction, fear, and powerlessness, and how joining the Air Force at 17 was his escape from helplessness and chaos.

We explore Mr. Held’s dual military career—four years in the Air Force followed later in life by another four in the Army—and the heartbreaking moments of being sabotaged by leadership, falsely accused, and forced to leave with less than he deserved. Alongside this, we talk about his multiple marriages, his toxic relationships, and how his current wife helped him confront emotional abuse patterns that lingered from childhood.

In partnership with all of this, we cover the truth about military culture, VA healthcare, and the tough lessons learned about leadership, ego, and accountability.

Finally, we shift to healing—how to survive job loss, divorce, and suicidal moments by choosing growth, refusing to self-destruct, and pushing through. Mr. Held’s podcast offers deeper insight into these themes, with his first 25 episodes chronicling his entire life story. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your past or trapped by your circumstances, this conversation proves there is a way out—and that even the craziest life can be used to lift others.

Today, I sit down with Damien Bloss, a man who battled addiction for over 20 years before finding freedom through recovery. We dive into the root of his struggle—losing a close family member to suicide and the decades of guilt and emotional suppression that followed. Mr. Bloss opens up about how this trauma went unspoken for decades, only finally revealing it through the release of his 2024 book Breaking the Silence.

Mr. Bloss and I explore the dangerous turning points of addiction, including multiple DUIs, jail time, and drinking on the job. He walks us through the reality of being a functioning addict—someone who hadn't lost everything but was on the brink. His story reveals how difficult it is to determine when someone needs help, especially when dark humor masks real suicidal thoughts. We also discuss how rock bottom isn’t the same for everyone, and how therapy, faith, and accountability played crucial roles in his recovery.

Now five years sober, Mr. Bloss mentors inmates, runs support groups, and speaks out to help others break free. His book isn’t just for addicts—it’s for loved ones trying to understand what’s going on behind closed doors. If you or someone you love is battling addiction, this episode is a powerful reminder: it’s never too late to seek help, and no one should have to suffer in silence.

Today, I sit down with G. Michael Hopf—Marine Corps veteran turned bestselling author and founder of two publishing companies. We talk through his evolution from writing a children's book inspired by his daughters to launching a viral apocalyptic novel that catapulted him into a 40-book writing career. Mr. Hopf shares the origin stories behind his most successful titles, explains the strategy behind using different author names for different genres, and offers a behind-the-scenes look at the publishing hustle—from school visits to Hollywood film options.

Mr. Hopf and I dig into the gritty side of authorship—how realism from our military backgrounds influences our writing, why fiction is the most powerful medium for delivering important messages, and how to balance creative storytelling with technical accuracy. We also touch on the business side: how authors today must become savvy marketers, the rise of podcasting for book promotion, and why taking risks—even controversial ones—can lead to authentic, resonant storytelling.

This episode is packed with advice for aspiring and established writers alike. We discuss genre-switching, firing agents, building universes, and why every story must start with your own passion—not audience trends. Whether you're dreaming of publishing your first book or want to take your writing to the next level, this conversation is a masterclass in turning lived experience into literary success.

Today, I take a bold step into one of the most controversial and important conversations of our time—abortion and the alternatives available to women facing unplanned pregnancies. As someone passionate about human life, self-improvement, and faith, it's no surprise that abortion is an extremely upsetting subject for me. Though stepping into the field of Pro-Choice Vs. Pro-Life and everything that comes with that, I wanted to dedicate this Mother's Day to providing resources for pregnant women and their loved ones who are searching for life-affirming options.

I break down practical, life-changing alternatives to abortion, including parenting with support, adoption pathways, Safe Haven laws, maternity housing programs, and temporary guardianship. I also highlight some of the most trusted organizations—like OptionLine, Embrace Grace, and Let Them Live—that are doing the hard work of supporting mothers when the system often fails them. Whether you’re a parent, a mentor, or someone simply trying to do better, these resources matter.

Motherhood is more than just being present in someone's life—motherhood is also about the sacrifices that remain unknown, including choosing life. This episode is for the women (and their loved ones) who are struggling with impossible choices, and for the men and communities who need to show up differently. Let’s talk solutions. Let’s talk support. Let’s talk about what it truly means to honor motherhood.

Today, I sit down solo to reflect on a personal milestone—two years since I left the U.S. Navy. This episode isn't about bashing the military, but rather a raw and honest conversation about my experience, what I wish I'd known beforehand, and the conversations I’ve had with fellow veterans and active duty members. I talk about the circumstances that led to me joining at 17, how my parents influenced that decision, and the harsh reality of being promised benefits and opportunities that didn’t always materialize.

I walk through the misinformation I faced from recruiters, the pressure to accept a “top job” that pleased others, and the reality of being a nuclear operator—comparing that against other military roles that offered the same benefits with significantly less stress. I also talk about how some of the best leaders I encountered were often the lowest-ranking individuals who cared more about people than promotion.

Reflecting on the past few years, I share stories of close friends struggling to transition to civilian life, the pitfalls of not doing proper research before enlisting, and why I believe it’s time for a mentorship movement led by veterans for future service members. This conversation is a call for reform, awareness, and honest dialogue for anyone considering military service. Whether you're active duty, a veteran, or a civilian, this one is for you.

Today, I sit down with fellow believer Desiree Taylor, a writer, speaker, and advocate whose journey of faith began in childhood and was deeply shaped by hearing loss and the stigma that came with it.

Ms. Taylor shares how she was diagnosed with nerve deafness as a child and the isolation she experienced growing up—especially in school where few understood her condition. But beyond her physical struggle, she opens up about a spiritual one, as her relationship with God began to take form while facing rejection and loneliness.

We talk about her teenage years, where a crisis of faith collided with depression, loneliness, and ultimately, an unplanned pregnancy. Ms. Taylor recounts the powerful moment when she audibly heard God’s voice during one of her darkest nights, assuring her of His presence and instructing her to keep her child. That turning point marked her return to faith and the beginning of a lifelong journey to walk in grace rather than shame.

We discuss the ways that certain churches and other members of faith can be hypocritical, overly-legalistic, and often implement shame and fear-mongering in an unbalanced way. Ms. Taylor shares about her book, Created to Relate: Living Beyond Religion, which confronts the damage of legalism and the healing power of a real relationship with Christ. She opens up about what it's like to grow up in a legalistic church, the long road to accepting God’s forgiveness, and how she now uses her writing, mentorship, and blog to encourage women, advocate for those with disabilities, and deepen discipleship.
