Elevate your voice with Eru

What if healing isn’t about fixing yourself—but learning to trust yourself again?

In this heartfelt episode of Elevate Your Voice with Eru, holistic wellness coach and author Kerisma Vere shares why the all-or-nothing approach to self-improvement often leaves people feeling exhausted, discouraged, and stuck. Drawing from her own journey through trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, and recovery, Kerisma offers a compassionate perspective on what real, lasting change actually looks like.

Together, we explore the myths surrounding healing, the importance of building a healthy relationship with yourself, and how small, intentional steps can lead to meaningful transformation. Whether you’re navigating a difficult season, struggling with self-worth, or simply looking for a healthier approach to personal growth, this conversation is filled with practical wisdom and hope.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why healing isn’t a “light switch” moment
• How self-compassion creates lasting personal growth
• The connection between self-relationship and overall well-being
• Practical ways to move beyond perfectionism and self-criticism
• Small daily habits that support emotional healing and resilience

This episode is a reminder that you don’t have to become someone else to heal—you simply need the space, patience, and compassion to become more fully yourself.

Tune in and discover why sustainable change starts not with pressure, but with self-trust.

What do you do when life keeps knocking you down—and giving you every reason to quit?

In this deeply inspiring episode of Elevate Your Voice, we sit down with Gaylen Wilson—heart transplant survivor, 20-years-sober recovering alcoholic, Certified Thriving Relationship Coach, relationship author, and co-founder of The Monument Method Institute.

Gaylen’s life has been defined by extraordinary resilience. From financial collapse and addiction to rebuilding after career setbacks, and ultimately fighting for his life after a virus left him in end-stage heart failure, his story is one of courage, faith, and the incredible power of never giving up.

Alongside his wife, Heather, Gaylen now helps couples navigate life’s toughest seasons, proving that even the greatest hardships can become the foundation for stronger relationships and a more meaningful life.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How Gaylen overcame alcoholism and embraced lasting sobriety.
• The life-changing lessons he learned while waiting years for a heart transplant.
• How serious illness impacts marriage—and how couples can grow stronger through adversity.
• Why vulnerability and honest communication are essential for healthy relationships.
• The importance of breaking the silence around men’s health and intimacy.
• How to transform pain into purpose and setbacks into new beginnings.

Whether you’re facing personal struggles, supporting a loved one through illness, rebuilding after loss, or simply looking for hope, this conversation will remind you that resilience is built one courageous step at a time.

Because sometimes the greatest gift life can give you isn’t an easier journey—it’s a second chance to live with deeper purpose, greater gratitude, and unconditional love.
