I’m Coach Rice, and in this episode of Casting the Net – Reeling in Holistic Health, I sit down with Freedom Coach Violet Coots from Bowling Green, Kentucky, to talk about what it really takes to expose the fear factor. Violet shares how fear can hide under labels like procrastination, perfectionism, and people-pleasing—and how the root is often a lie we’ve agreed with. Together, we walk through practical ways to identify those lies, break agreement with them, and replace them with truth so we can live from the inside out. We also dig into why overwhelm can look like procrastination, how to take thoughts captive, and why small steps create real momentum. Violet gives us a peek at her three-session Heart Reset program and her upcoming “Exposing the Fear Factor” course. If you’re feeling stuck, powerless, or afraid of success, this conversation will help you choose freedom, one intentional thought at a time.

Can we really forgive the unforgivable? 

I had the privilege of speaking with Lisa Schafer, an author, speaker, podcaster, and freedom facilitator who helps victims of trauma move from the bondage of bitterness into the freedom of forgiveness.

Lisa’s story of overcoming abandonment, childhood abuse, and broken trust is both raw and redemptive. Her Bible studies and podcast, The Diary of a Discarded Daughter, have been a lifeline for those who struggle with one of the hardest commands of all, “to forgive”.

Together, let’s spread healing, freedom, and faith!

In this episode of Casting the Net – Reeling in Holistic Health, I had the privilege of sitting down with Felicia Williams for a heartfelt and faith-filled conversation on caregiving, innovation, and God’s sustaining power.

Felicia shares her journey from being a veteran teacher to becoming a caregiver for her father, who faced dementia and Alzheimer’s. Out of her challenges, God gave her the vision to create assistive tools that bring hope, dignity, and autonomy back to those living with cognitive decline, autism, ADHD, and other challenges.

We talk about faith in the trenches, the power of forgiveness, the importance of caregiver support, and practical strategies that lighten the load for families. This conversation will bless anyone walking the road of caregiving or supporting someone who is. Her story is one of faith, innovation, and resilience and I promise you’ll walk away encouraged. ✨

How do we define health in a culture obsessed with numbers on a scale?

On Casting the Net, I sit down with Health Coach Heidi Wideman, who shares her inspiring journey of living with lipedema, a condition that affects 1 in 9 women but is often overlooked or misdiagnosed.

We discuss:
✔️ The difference between health & weight
✔️ Managing lipedema with practical tools
✔️ The power of mindset in coaching & life
✔️ How authenticity and vulnerability create impact

Heidi’s story is not just about overcoming, it’s about redefining success in health and life.

This week on Casting the Net, I had the absolute honor of sitting down with Pastor Henry Nwaneri, a renowned author, prophetic teacher, and spiritual mentor whose life’s mission is to ignite revival and empower believers toward spiritual victory, emotional wholeness, and divine purpose.

As the lead pastor of Jesus House International Ministries, Henry has ministered in over 60 countries, planting churches, hosting prayer crusades, and teaching believers how to live vibrant, Spirit-led lives. Known for his revelational insights and fervent ministry of intercession, his work has been marked by miraculous healings, deliverance, and transformational encounters.

In this episode, we talk about overcoming adversity from his life-changing “couch” analogy to walking six hours a day up a mountain in Belize without realizing God was using it to bring health and breakthrough. Henry’s call to “go deeper” will inspire you to move beyond comfort zones and embrace the fullness of God’s purpose.

With over 50 books to his name, Henry also shares how his writing and ministry continue to touch lives globally. Whether you’re battling stagnation or seeking fresh fire, this conversation will challenge you to step out, trust God’s process, and experience personal revival.

🔥What does it really mean to be “lukewarm”
🔥Are you reading the Word but not feeling changed by it?

In this episode of Casting the Net, I had the absolute joy of sitting down with the fiery and faithful Renee Swasey, a Christian Life Coach, Functional Health Practitioner, and author of Refined for Revival: Your Purpose and God’s Plan.

This conversation stirred my spirit! Renee opens up about how she transitioned from being a lukewarm believer, reading the Word without truly being transformed, to walking boldly in her God-given identity. We unpacked what it means to live faith, not just read about it. From spiritual refinement, to grieving the Holy Spirit unknowingly, to finding purpose in obedience… this episode is a wake-up call to all who feel stuck in the routine of religion.
