After meeting Leanda at World Championships Powerlifting, we knew further conversations had to happen. As a woman who has been plagued with illness she has a zeal for life many may never understand. The number of times that her doctors have told her she is done and she kept going is unreal. And not just living everyday, but breaking world records in Olympic weightlifting and competing in at world powerlifting. Leanda is a force to be reckoned with and she brings joy with her wherever she goes. Follow her @cfaloha on Instagram.I am C. S.

After a much longer than intended break, we are back. I had lost access to this channel but now it has magically (because I don't know how) been returned to me. That said, enjoy my 12 minutes of ramblings about the past the future, and a bit of the present as we roll back into real human conversations.

With the subdued spirit of lo-fi hip hop and a flow reminiscent of hip-hop’s golden age, Kaesevyn - real name Ju-Marri Sims - uses a history of trauma and social ineptitude to give a voice to those who need one. A Cleveland native, Kaesevyn adopted his persona after his father passed away in 2010, and felt like now, more than ever, was his chance to finally find the voice that had eluded him in his formative years.

I am an Air Force Veteran, wife, and soon to be mother of a baby girl in 2024! I left Active duty a few years ago in search of a more balanced and family lifestyle.

Since leaving Active Duty, I still have a strong desire to serve others. I have been able to find that in becoming a licensed Life Insurance Broker/Retirement Planner and certified Life and Success Coach.

As a Life Insurance Broker, I am licensed in 10 states and partnered with 15 plus top rated insurance companies. I have the pleasure of helping individuals and families prepare for the future with life insurance, retirement plans, mortgage protection, child and young adult future financial stability.

As a certified Life and Success Coach, my mission is to empower as many individuals as possible to achieve their highest potential in the most important aspects of their life. I guide individuals through a personalized coaching process to maximize their potential in self-growth, creating a resilient mindset, getting outside their comfort zone, breaking free of mental stagnancy and ultimately achieving the success they desire.

My husband, Joe, is also a veteran and certified Life Coach. Together, we created Credence Life Coaching, where we focus on military members, burn out, personal/professional growth, transition to civilian life, entering the civilian workforce, and finding purpose after service. Our goal is to work with as many veterans and service members possible to achieve their goals, find success, and create their best self – physically, mentally, and emotionally. We want to impact the veteran community to help fight veteran homelessness and suicide. Our message is simple, we are here to help. We understand the stigma surrounding asking for help, but keep in mind this is a partnership for success, not therapy or mental health service.

You can reach out to Kaylee for coaching at [email protected] or at her website that is coming soon!

John and I have a great conversation about poetry, parenting, and life in general. As promised, the two movies I couldn't remember the titles of in the episode were, "A Marriage Story" and "The Ultimate Playlist of Noise" if you want to check them out.

John Roedel is a comic who unexpectedly gained notability as a writer and poet through his heartfelt Facebook conversations that went viral and became an Amazon best-selling book titled, Hey God. Hey John.

He is the author of five books—Hey God. Hey John, Any Given Someday, Untied: The Poetry of What Comes Next, Remedy, and his latest work, Upon Departure, which explores through poetry the concept of our grief as a natural wonder that terraforms the landscape of our world in increments.

Offering a sincere and very relatable look at his faith crisis, mental health, personal struggles, perception of our world, and even his fashion sense, John's writing has been shared millions of times across social media and lauded by fans and readers worldwide. He teaches at universities and retreat centers across the US, blending his trademark comedy with creative exercises, journaling, dialogue, and introspection to help people fearlessly embrace and share their personal stories.

You can find John and his work at johnroedel.com.
