In this powerful episode of Casting the Net, I sat down with Julie Rebboah, a Christian mental health and wellness coach, podcaster, and speaker whose story will truly touch your heart. Julie shared her personal journey of overcoming childhood trauma a path marked by pain but redeemed by purpose and faith.
What stood out most was Julie’s passion for helping faith-driven adults heal. She believes therapy is important, but it’s God who transforms the deepest wounds. Her message? What happened to you does not define you God does.
Julie also opened up about her podcast, "Room to Bloom," a sacred space where she interviews Christian leaders, mental health professionals, and trauma survivors. Together, they break the silence around trauma and offer hope for real, lasting healing.
We dove into powerful truths about forgiveness, loss, and the lies trauma tells us. Julie beautifully explained the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation a critical insight for many still carrying the weight of their past.
If you’ve ever struggled to see a way forward after trauma, or wondered how faith fits into the healing journey, this episode will bless you. Julie offers free consultations and a compassionate coaching approach that meets people right where they are.

In this powerful episode, I sat down with Dr. Katie Murphy, a chiropractor and integrated health coach, whose life was transformed by her own battle with depression, chronic stress, and emotional exhaustion.
Katie opened up about how movement, mindset shifts, and a renewed connection to her faith helped her rebuild her health from the inside out. Her journey is nothing short of inspiring and now she’s on a mission to help women do the same.
We talked about her 12-week coaching program that doesn’t just focus on nutrition and exercise, but also dives deep into topics like forgiveness, stress management, and finding your “why.” Katie believes that real health is not just physical, it’s spiritual, emotional, and deeply personal.
This conversation is for every woman who’s ever put herself last, struggled to find balance, or felt like she’s lost her spark. Katie reminds us that it’s not selfish to say “no”, it’s sacred. And when we take care of ourselves, we serve others from a place of abundance, not depletion.
Tune in and be encouraged to move differently, think differently, and live with intention.

In this power-packed episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with Carrie Ann Barrette, a licensed mental health clinician and Kingdom-wide advisor, whose heart is fiercely committed to helping Christian women reclaim their identity, purpose, and power.
Carrie's journey is nothing short of transformational. Raised in New England without knowing Jesus, she found faith at 13 but lacked guidance and ultimately hitting a dark low that nearly cost her everything. But that moment of despair became a divine turning point when she encountered Jesus in a powerful, personal way. That encounter led her to seminary, and what followed was a radical revelation: God’s Kingdom is active today, and we’re called to reign in it.
Now, Carrie works specifically with Christian female entrepreneurs and business owners, offering quick, intensive coaching sessions that help women sever ties to past trauma, align with their God-given identity, and walk boldly in their authority as daughters of the King. Her approach is deeply prophetic, rooted in Holy Spirit guidance, and designed to bring rapid inner healing and transformation.
One of the most powerful moments in our conversation was hearing about the inspiration behind her book, Put Your Crown On, a message God gave her while driving to church. This book boldly reminds believers that we are not just survivors, we are heirs, warriors, and rulers, meant to reign in every area of life through Christ.
Carrie also shared her profound insights into divine business strategy, the importance of resting in God's presence, and how obedience opens doors to supernatural productivity and peace.
We’re not meant to live stuck in cycles of pain and limitation. We’re meant to rise, rule, and reign! Carrie’s mission is to equip us to do just that.
In this refreshingly honest and insightful episode, I sat down with relationship coach Monica Tanner, whose upcoming book is set to shake the very foundation of what many couples believe about marriage. The book is titled “Bad Marriage Advice: 15 Myths That Will Make You Miserable”, and trust me, it’s the relationship wake-up call we didn’t know we needed.
Monica didn’t just study marriage, she’s been living and researching it since she was 12 years old, inspired by the pain of watching her parents’ divorce. With a background in family systems and relational therapy, Monica uses her own marriage as a living lab to test what really works and what absolutely doesn’t.
We dove into a few of the most dangerous myths she tackles in her book:
"Divorce is not an option” may sound noble, but it often kills motivation for real growth.
“Compromise is necessary” can leave both partners feeling like they’ve lost.
And the classic “Happy wife, happy life”? Monica calls it what it is toxic and one-sided.
Instead of these worn-out clichés, Monica champions curiosity, creativity, and collaboration in marriage. She helps couples move from resentment and reactivity to connection and intentionality.
Her approach? Relational Life Therapy, a no-nonsense, results-driven method that gets to the heart of the issue fast. She works with couples who are ready to stop playing emotional tug-of-war and start building something real together.
This interview is filled with wisdom, real talk, and a fresh take on what it means to build a mutually fulfilling marriage in today’s world. And Monica’s book? It’s not just advice, it’s a blueprint for truth-telling, heart-healing, and lasting love.
🌍 Behind Every Move Is A Mind That Matters 💼🧠
IIn this eye-opening podcast episode, I sat down with Michael Hughes, CEO of BetterGo, to discuss a challenge many overlook: the mental health toll of global relocation. With a 15-year career in the relocation industry and personal experience living in Boston, New York, Cairo, South Korea, and China, Michael brings a unique lens to the emotional journey behind each move.
We dove deep into how BetterGo is transforming the relocation experience by focusing not just on logistics but on psychological and emotional well-being. Too often, companies overlook the hidden struggles their employees face when relocating: from decision fatigue to depression, anxiety, and reverse culture shock. These issues silently chip away at performance, retention, and team dynamics.
Michael shared how BetterGo bridges that gap by connecting relocating professionals with experienced mentors, psychologists, life coaches, and nutritionists in a HIPAA-compliant, confidential space. Their platform is available in 18 countries and offers both B2B and B2C services with real-time dashboards that track effectiveness across 8 dimensions of well-being offering not just support, but measurable ROI for companies.
He explained that employees often suffer in silence, afraid of appearing weak or risking “career suicide.” That’s why BetterGo exists to create safe, supportive environments where people can thrive through transition.
Our conversation reminded me that behind every new job, every move abroad, and every title change, there’s a human being trying to adjust, connect, and find peace in unfamiliar territory.
For companies ready to take action, Michael is open for conversation at [email protected], and I highly recommend checking out the BetterGo website to learn more. Don’t miss this episode dropping Monday morning across all major platforms!
Let’s stop treating relocation like a transaction—and start seeing it as a transformation.

In this inspiring episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Deon Hall-Garriques, a dynamic menopause coach with a powerful story. Deon shared how she transitioned from a career in accounting to a passion for health and wellness. Her personal journey through perimenopause and dealing with fibrocystic breast issues led her to educate herself and now empower other women navigating this often misunderstood season of life.
Understanding the Menopause Journey
Deon broke down the key differences between perimenopause and menopause, explaining that perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, while menopause marks the official end of the menstrual cycle.
Lifestyle as the First Line of Defense
Deon emphasized that lifestyle choices are crucial in navigating menopause with more ease. Her recommendations included:
✅ A whole foods-based diet
✅ Targeted supplementation
✅ Regular exercise, especially strength training
✅ Stress management tools
✅ A consistent and nourishing sleep routine
She also highlighted the emotional and physical benefits of high-quality essential oils during this transition.
Resources to Support the Journey

God Doesn’t Call the Perfect, He Perfects the Called: My Conversation with Pastor Adam
In this powerful and transparent episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Pastor Adam, whose journey to ministry is nothing short of extraordinary. Adam shared how he dropped out of nursing school and faced a troubled past, but through it all, felt a strong, undeniable calling from God. Despite his difficult childhood, which at one point made him question and even hate God, Adam ultimately gave his heart to Christ and now walks boldly in his calling.
Today, Adam serves as a youth and children’s pastor, with a deep passion for reaching unchurched youth. His heart lights up when he sees kids step into the church for the first time and begin to discover who God is and how deeply He loves them. It's not always easy, but the impact is real and eternal.
We also talked about his inspiring podcast, "Uncharted: Navigating Faith and Life, which began as a tool to share bite-sized, accessible lessons with youth. Over time, it’s grown into a platform for faith-filled conversations and testimonies, drawing guests from all walks of life. Adam shared how this podcast has expanded his reach, helped him connect with others, and enriched his church teachings.
Adam’s story is a reminder that no matter where you come from, God can use your past to shape your purpose. His journey is raw, redemptive, and a testimony to the truth that when you say "yes" to God, He’ll take you places you never imagined.

In this powerful episode, I had the honor of interviewing Raymond Kopakowski, one of our remarkable partner coaches. His story is one of resilience, transformation, and purpose. Growing up in a tough neighborhood in Camden, New Jersey, Raymond found early expression in the arts and music industry, but later faced deep personal struggles, including addiction. Through it all, he discovered his true calling as a relationship and partnership coach and now he's changing lives.
Raymond brings a refreshing and profound perspective to the difference between a relationship and a partnership. To him, a true partnership is built on equality, mutual understanding, and a shared commitment to happiness—not a tug-of-war between roles. His vision? To replace the narrative of conflict between men and women with one of collaboration and care.
One of the most fascinating parts of our conversation was Raymond’s approach to coaching. He shared that his insights don’t come from books—they come through channeled information, intuition, and visions. He humbly views himself as a vessel, delivering universal truths meant to support healing and growth.

Are You Holding Yourself Back? Discover How to Break Free from Self-Sabotage and Embrace Self-Love! 🎙️✨
What if the only thing standing between you and the life you desire is… you?
I had the privilege of sitting down with Patricia Ahern to explore the journey from self-sabotage to self-love. This conversation was a deep dive into the limiting beliefs and fears that keep us stuck and the mental fitness techniques that can help us break free.
Key Takeaways:
🔹 Self-sabotage often stems from fear and negative reinforcement loops that keep us from thriving.
🔹 Building self-love requires awareness, patience, and mental fitness to shift our internal dialogue.
🔹 Connecting with your younger self and using positive affirmations are powerful tools for transformation.
🔹 Writing love letters to yourself and practicing the "power of the pause" can help break self-sabotaging patterns.
Patricia’s Journey to Coaching:
Patricia’s story is one of burnout, self-discovery, and empowerment. After experiencing burnout twice, she recognized a pattern of self-sabotage rooted in childhood wounds. Discovering she was a highly sensitive person helped her make sense of past struggles. Now, as a Mental Fitness PQ Coach, she helps others break free from self-sabotaging behaviors.
Understanding Self-Sabotage:
Self-sabotage is the act of obstructing, damaging, or destroying something for oneself—often rooted in fear, the need for acceptance, and feeling unworthy. It can show up in forms like emotional eating, negative self-talk, and self-neglect, creating a cycle that hinders personal growth.
