Dare You To Love Podcast

In a world that constantly tells us to find our identity in success, relationships, and status, it's easy to feel lost and unsure of who we really are.

In this episode, we're talking about what it truly means to find your purpose—not through the world's expectations, but through God's perspective. Real purpose isn't found in what we achieve, but in who we belong to.

In this episode of the Dare You To Love Podcast, I share my thoughts on debunking mental health stigmas. From the myths we've been taught to believe, to the silent shame that keeps so many people suffering alone, I share my heart on why it's time to change the narrative and create safer spaces for real conversations.

If you've ever felt embarrassed to ask for help, afraid of being labeled, or pressured to "just be strong," you're not alone. My hope is that this episode reminds you that struggling does not make you weak, seeking help is not failure, and your mental health matters just as much as your physical health.

This episode does not equal advice from a professional; this is simply a conversation meant to encourage and uplift.

Put yourself first and get the help you need.

In this episode of the Dare You To Love Podcast, I share my raw and honest experience with loss and grief. Reflecting on the amount of loss I have experienced in a short amount of time, I share my insight for those walking through similar situations to help others feel less alone during one of the most lonely human experiences.

If you're grieving, feeling numb, or trying to make sense of loss, you're not alone. I hope this video brings comfort, understanding, or simply a reminder that God is near to you.

This video does not equal advice from a professional; this is just my story.

On the season finale of The Dare You To Love Podcast, Victoria is joined by Ryann Cushway to share his incredible Beauty From Ashes testimony of how God took a broken nineteen year old drug dealer and turned his life completely around and sent him on a path to help others who feel there is no hope.

Ryann is a forty-five year old man married to his wife of fifteen years and together they have two children. At the age of nineteen, Ryann was told that he was "scum of society," while facing three life sentences, two death sentences, or two hundred and sixty five years in prison for drug and other related charges. But God had other plans for him. Ryann has lived the last twenty-five years of his life serving The Lord, being a good husband and father, stewarding God's blessings, and serving alongside many different Christain organizations including: multiple different prison ministries in the state of Georgia, Knee Benders, Celebrate Recovery, Three Dimensional Life, & Trail Life Troop. He and his wife started their own outreach ministry called Boots On The Ground Ministries, where they serve the homeless and in need communities in their area. Ryann and his family also regularly volunteer at their local church in many different capacities.

After Ryann's release from prison, he graduated with an Associates in Motorsports Technologies and is now working on his Bachelor's for Mechanical Engineering. Professionally, he has worked in the metal fabrication industry, working his way up from a welder to a CNC machinist, programmer, and now an

Engineer. Whenever Ryann is not working or serving his community he is enjoying life by riding his motorcycle, scuba diving, skydiving, or training for obstacle course racing. Ryann has taken his second chance and lived his life to the fullest.
