In this emotionally rich and nostalgic episode of Concepts & Conversations, Coach Bryan Thomas takes us on a journey back to the summer of nineteen ninety-eight—a time of teenage dreams, Michael Jordan's final championship run, and innocent crushes that defined an era.

🎧 What You’ll Hear:

• A vivid snapshot of Bryan at 15 years old, caught between basketball tryouts and the excitement of youth camp.

• The tender moment of handing over a long-kept letter to his childhood crush the night before—finally expressing years of unspoken admiration.

• The unexpected surprise of her showing up at his home the next morning, leading to a moment so surreal he could barely speak.

• Reflections on why we hesitate, what could’ve been, and how one quiet “hello” sometimes says more than words ever could.

🕰️ This episode is a time capsule—raw, reflective, and a tribute to the bittersweet beauty of young love. Whether you were the shy teen with the crush or the one who never knew someone admired you from afar, this story will hit you right in the heart.

In this deeply personal and emotionally charged episode of Concepts & Conversations, Coach Bryan Thomas revisits one of the most defining moments of his life — March 2, 2013 — the day love ended, and healing began.

Set against the backdrop of a church conference in Lansing, Michigan, Bryan opens up about the silent heartbreak that unfolded in a sacred space. What began as a simple weekend of worship became a confrontation with truth — a face-to-face goodbye with the woman he once believed would be forever.

He takes listeners through the rawness of that moment:

• The quiet heartbreak that hid behind the noise of a crowded sanctuary

• The painful conversation that marked the end of a two-year love story

• The drive home in silence that felt like a funeral for everything he thought love would be

• And finally, the unexpected peace that came when he accepted what had already ended

Through vulnerability and reflection, Bryan reminds us that sometimes closure doesn’t come through conversation — it comes through courage.
“That Weekend in Lansing” isn’t just a story about heartbreak; it’s a story about rebirth — about finding the strength to let go, to love yourself again, and to embrace peace after pain.

Whether you’ve just walked away from someone you loved or you’re learning to breathe again after heartbreak, this episode will touch your soul and remind you that letting go isn’t the end — it’s the beginning of healing.

In this moving episode of Concepts & Conversations, host Coach Bryan Thomas takes listeners back to a defining teenage moment — his first heartbreak — and the emotional flight home that changed his perspective on love and loss.

• A Raw, Personal Story: Bryan recounts the turbulent plane ride from Lakeland, Florida, to Atlanta — tears falling as he wrestles with the weight of young love slipping away.

• The Illusion of Time: How heartbreak stretches and compresses time, making moments feel endless yet fleeting.

• A Mother’s Wisdom: The quiet, grounding words that greeted him upon landing — reframing pain as both teacher and healer.

• Why Heartbreak Shapes Us: How that moment became the foundation for understanding relationships, vulnerability, and emotional recovery.

If you’ve ever loved deeply, lost suddenly, or struggled to make sense of the ache that follows, this story will resonate.
Blending authentic storytelling with timeless insight, Bryan reminds us that even the hardest endings prepare us for greater beginnings.

“Sometimes, the roughest rides teach us how to land on our feet.”

In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of Concepts & Conversations, Coach Bryan Thomas sits down with a truly unique guest — Deron Singh, widely known as The Heartbreak Hypnotist. This episode isn’t just about love lost — it’s about the deep inner work required to heal, confront emotional baggage, and break the cycles that keep us bound to people, patterns, and pain that no longer serve us.

Deron opens up about his journey from personal heartbreak to becoming a transformative coach and hypnotist helping others reframe their relationships with pain, disappointment, and betrayal. Together, Bryan and Deron explore:

• Why so many people stay emotionally loyal to unavailable or toxic partners

• How subconscious patterns of abandonment and self-doubt show up in romantic decisions

• The role of hypnosis and guided inner work in healing trauma from breakups

• Why closure isn’t something you get — it’s something you choose

• The difference between healing and coping, and why most people confuse the two

• How to rebuild your internal narrative after someone walks away unexpectedly

Whether you're fresh out of a breakup, still clinging to what could’ve been, or finally ready to release the ghost of a past love, this episode will serve as both a mirror and a roadmap. Expect insight, strategy, and a bit of soul work as Deron Singh helps listeners reclaim their power, one breakthrough at a time.

📍 This is more than just a conversation. It’s a clinic on how to heal.

Absolutely. Here’s a detailed and engaging podcast episode description for your episode featuring Deron Singh, The Heartbreak Hypnotist, written in your Concepts & Conversations tone — emotional, insightful, and purpose-driven:

On this transformative episode of Concepts & Conversations, Coach Bryan Thomas sits down with Deron Singh, better known as The Heartbreak Hypnotist — a master of emotional recovery, mindset transformation, and subconscious healing. Together, they take listeners on a deep, vulnerable, and revelatory journey through the psychology of heartbreak, exploring what really happens when love leaves wounds that words alone can’t heal.

Deron’s story begins where most heartbreaks end — in the silence after the pain, the sleepless nights where memories loop, and the questions that echo without answers. As a certified hypnotherapist who specializes in helping people reprogram the emotional triggers of heartbreak, Deron opens up about the science behind letting go, the art of mental rewiring, and the spiritual connection between pain and purpose.

Throughout the conversation, Coach Bryan and Deron unpack:

• How heartbreak creates subconscious patterns that affect how we love, trust, and attach in the future.

• Why your body remembers emotional pain even when your mind says you’ve “moved on.”

• The role of hypnosis in healing — not as magic, but as mental reprogramming that helps release emotional trauma stored in the subconscious.

• How unresolved grief and unspoken disappointment manifest as anger, detachment, or fear of vulnerability.

• The power of perspective, forgiveness, and self-talk in reshaping your internal narrative after a breakup.

But this episode isn’t just about recovery — it’s about rediscovery. Deron shares stories from his sessions with clients who found peace, closure, and even renewed purpose through the process of hypnosis and introspection. He breaks down how we can move beyond “coping” into true emotional freedom, and why most people never heal because they keep trying to change their behavior instead of changing their beliefs.

Coach Bryan challenges listeners to think deeper about what heartbreak reveals — not just about the person who hurt us, but about the parts of ourselves we’ve neglected. The two dive into raw and relatable territory: attachment styles, self-worth, emotional dependency, and the hidden addiction to emotional chaos that keeps many people stuck in repetitive relationship cycles.

Deron doesn’t shy away from the truth — that healing is uncomfortable, that love can be both the wound and the medicine, and that the most powerful transformation happens when you allow your subconscious mind to finally release what your conscious mind keeps holding on to.

This episode is a fusion of science, spirituality, and soul work — blending Deron’s expertise in hypnotherapy with Coach Bryan’s signature relational wisdom. Together, they build a bridge between mental health and faith, between inner healing and real growth, and between heartbreak and wholeness.

Listeners will walk away understanding that:

• Healing isn’t forgetting — it’s remembering differently.

• Closure doesn’t come from the person who left — it comes from the decision to love yourself again.

• The subconscious mind can be retrained to release what no longer serves your destiny.

• Emotional peace is not an accident — it’s a discipline.

Whether you’re still reeling from a breakup, trying to rebuild your identity after a failed relationship, or just curious about how the mind processes emotional pain, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

In Part 2 of this powerful two-part conversation, Coach Bryan Thomas continues his sit-down with the remarkable Evangelist Tamara Mitchell — a woman whose journey of faith, healing, and purpose brings clarity to one of the most misunderstood topics in the modern church: deliverance.

If Part 1 introduced us to the what and why of deliverance, Part 2 takes us deeper into the how and the after. What happens once you’ve experienced breakthrough? What comes after the tears, the altar, and the emotional release? Evangelist Mitchell takes us beyond the moment of encounter and into the process of maintaining spiritual freedom — day by day, choice by choice.

She begins by confronting one of the greatest misconceptions in the faith community: the belief that deliverance is a single, dramatic event rather than an ongoing partnership with God. With warmth, wisdom, and truth, she explains how real deliverance begins with awareness — the awareness of cycles, patterns, and open doors that often go unnoticed until the Holy Spirit begins to expose them.

Throughout this episode, Evangelist Mitchell and Coach Bryan discuss:

• How to recognize when you are living in bondage that has been normalized by culture or family patterns.

• The difference between emotional relief and genuine transformation.

• Why accountability, prayer, and community are essential for sustaining freedom.

• How spiritual maturity changes the way we see warfare and discern attacks.

• The subtle ways the enemy reintroduces old habits, and how to guard against spiritual relapse.

As the conversation unfolds, listeners will hear Tamara’s vulnerability as she shares stories from her own life — seasons of struggle that became testimonies of victory. She describes the loneliness of walking through a private deliverance while still ministering publicly, the tension between her calling and her humanity, and the healing that came when she finally allowed God to deal with the root, not just the fruit.

Coach Bryan adds his signature perspective, bridging faith and emotional intelligence. He draws out moments of truth that apply to every listener — whether you’re new to your faith, have walked with God for years, or are simply trying to understand why certain areas of your life seem to repeat themselves. He reminds us that deliverance doesn’t begin at the altar; it begins in honesty — the moment you admit that something in your life needs to change, and you’re finally ready to let God change it.

Together, they explore the practical side of spiritual growth: how to rebuild after freedom, how to replace negative habits with spiritual disciplines, and how to allow your mind to catch up to what your spirit has already been released from. They challenge listeners to move past performance Christianity — to stop chasing emotional highs and start cultivating a relationship with God that brings real fruit, lasting joy, and inner peace.

This episode is not about hype; it’s about healing. It’s not about religious ritual; it’s about relationship. It’s a transparent, heart-to-heart dialogue that invites every listener to examine their own story through the lens of grace and truth. Evangelist Mitchell’s voice carries both the weight of experience and the compassion of someone who knows what it means to be redeemed, while Coach Bryan’s reflections help ground the conversation in practical application — making complex spiritual truths accessible for everyday life.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clearer understanding of what deliverance really is — and what it is not. You’ll see that it’s not about perfection, but progression. It’s not about condemnation, but conviction that leads to freedom. It’s not about escaping your past, but learning how to see it through the eyes of purpose.

In Fireside Chat (Part 2), Coach Bryan continues the conversation with even greater depth and transparency, picking up where Part 1 left off. The fire’s still burning, but this time the tone shifts — from reflection to revelation. Bryan opens up about what has unfolded since his last heart-to-heart, sharing the new lessons, realizations, and confirmations that came once the dust settled and clarity began to take shape.

This episode dives deeper into themes of transition, closure, and spiritual realignment. Bryan talks candidly about the process of finding peace after uncertainty, how to embrace divine redirection without resentment, and why sometimes God will let things fall apart just to rebuild them with greater intention. It’s an honest look at the growing pains of purpose — the moments that test your patience, challenge your perspective, and ultimately prepare you for what’s next.

Part 2 is calm, raw, and real — a continuation that feels like wisdom sitting across from you, reminding you that healing takes time but clarity always comes. Whether you’re rebuilding your confidence, re-evaluating relationships, or rediscovering your voice after disappointment, this episode will meet you right where you are.

By the end of Fireside Chat (Part 2), you’ll be reminded that the fire doesn’t just bring warmth — it also refines. And sometimes, it’s in that refining where your true strength and story begin to emerge.

In this relaxed and reflective episode, Coach Bryan invites listeners to pull up a seat and join him for a Fireside Chat — an open, unfiltered conversation that feels less like a podcast and more like catching up with a trusted friend. This episode steps away from structured topics and dives into real talk about life, growth, purpose, and everything that’s been stirring behind the scenes.

Coach Bryan shares personal reflections from recent experiences, the lessons that have come with transition, and the subtle ways God has been redirecting his focus. He speaks candidly about the seasons of silence, the value of solitude, and the importance of staying anchored when life feels uncertain.

Through storytelling and honest reflection, Fireside Chat reminds listeners that growth isn’t always loud — sometimes it’s found in quiet moments of truth, laughter, and self-awareness. Whether you’re in a rebuilding season, processing change, or simply looking for clarity in your next step, this episode offers warmth, wisdom, and perspective in the most authentic way possible.

By the end of this conversation, you’ll walk away encouraged to slow down, reflect, and embrace your own fireside moment — where the noise fades, the lessons settle, and your purpose becomes clearer.

In this deeply personal episode, Coach Bryan opens up about a chapter of his life that unfolded during one of the world’s most uncertain times — the height of the pandemic. When You Have to Move On (Part 1) is not just a story about heartbreak, it’s a reflection on how unexpected connections can shape, stretch, and sometimes break us in ways we never saw coming.

Through raw honesty and introspection, Bryan shares the story of a young lady he connected with during a season when the world felt paused but emotions ran deep. What started as hope, companionship, and meaningful dialogue eventually became a lesson in timing, expectation, and emotional maturity. He unpacks how that experience challenged his definition of love, tested his capacity for grace, and forced him to confront what it really means to let go — not out of anger, but out of acceptance.

This episode is an invitation into vulnerability — a real-time reflection on how relationships that don’t last can still leave lasting impact. It’s about the tension between what we want and what God allows, and the courage it takes to move forward when your heart still lingers in the past.

When You Have to Move On (Part 1) sets the tone for a transparent journey through healing and release. It’s an honest conversation about how even endings can become beginnings, and how sometimes the hardest thing to do — moving on — is the very thing that sets you free.

In this transparent and unfiltered episode, Coach Bryan takes a moment to pause the flow of series topics and simply catch up — with life, lessons, and the listeners who’ve been walking this journey with him. Just Catching Up is a reflective reset — a chance to breathe, recalibrate, and share where things stand both personally and spiritually.

Coach Bryan opens up about recent seasons of growth, transition, and clarity — the quiet moments behind the scenes that often shape the next big move. From coaching insights to real-life reflections, he revisits key conversations, lessons learned, and the power of slowing down to process what God is doing in real time.

This episode feels like sitting down with a trusted friend — honest, grounded, and full of perspective. There’s laughter, there’s reflection, and there’s a clear reminder that progress doesn’t always come from producing — sometimes it comes from pausing.

Whether you’ve been tuned in since the first episode or you’re joining for the first time, Just Catching Up is a heartfelt reminder that the journey of purpose isn’t linear — it’s layered, evolving, and worth reflecting on.

By the end of this conversation, listeners will feel both refreshed and reconnected — ready to keep growing, keep learning, and keep doing life one moment at a time.
