Our team thought it was a great idea to start rewinding previous (but timely) episodes of our show during the times that Mista Yu is away from the microphone. All of these beautiful Blasts from the Past were previously broadcast, but we are sharing them with you at a time when you might need them most. Hope you enjoy the review!

What if success looks less like metrics and more like obedience? We mark a year on the mic by leaning into a conversation about calling, healing, and building a life that actually fits the season you’re in. Our guest, entrepreneur and veteran Kat Pons, brings the candor of military service, the tenderness of motherhood, and the focus of a mission-led business to explore how faith shapes real-world decisions—what to cut, what to keep, and how to stay consistent without losing what matters.

We trace her roots from New York to Puerto Rico and Florida, where grandparents modeled enterprise and everyday herbal wisdom. That early training meets a modern wellness practice: Restoration From Within, a coaching and clean body-care brand that treats health as stewardship. Kat shares why skin is a truth-teller, how hibiscus tinctures and wild oregano extracts support holistic routines, and why Kingdom principles—not trends—anchor her work. She also opens up about PTSD, naming the small ways trauma shows up and how inviting the Holy Spirit into therapy can produce breakthrough after breakthrough.

The story widens into a bold vision: Life Support Centers that partner with local organizations to

A Marine. A cop. A lawyer. A recording artist. A photographer. An author. Steve Gallegos has worn many titles, but the story he tells starts in the ditch—and shows how to climb out with purpose. We go straight into responsibility, resilience, and the power to “yell cut” on a life that’s veered off script.

Steve unpacks how our earliest programming trains us to blame, and why agency begins when we take 100% responsibility. He shares the moment a Hollywood producer crossed a line, how his first thought terrified him, and the decision that followed: walk away, reinvent, and refuse to trade integrity for applause. That pivot opened the door to his book Unshackled, written for women who face coercion, unequal pay, and structural barriers he witnessed firsthand as an entertainment attorney. We talk about boundaries, dignity, and how men can support without centering themselves.

We also get a head-turning rule-breaking story: during a photo op with President Reagan, Steve ignored the no-questions rule and asked for help with his citizenship. That choice led to a phone call from the INS and a July 4th swearing-in. The takeaway isn’t recklessness—it’s discerning when rules are limits, not laws, and when courage serves a worthy aim. From there, we dig into the bedroom-to-boardroom connection, why you can’t compartmentalize pain, and three core scripts to rewrite: “I am not worthy,” “I’m an imposter,” and “It’s too late to change.” Steve’s constant throughline is service: reflect people back to their inherent worth and help them remember who they are.

If you’re ready to step into authorship of your own story, this conversation offers tools, language, and lived examples to make the next scene better than the last. Listen, share it with a friend who needs it, and if it resonates, follow the show, leave a review, and tell us which script you’re rewriting next.
