  • The Inner Critic Unmasked: Tools to Silence Self-Doubt

    In this episode, Joanna Kleinman —psychotherapist, leadership coach, and author of Dethroning Your Inner Critic—shares her powerful insights on overcoming the inner voice that keeps us stuck in cycles of self-doubt and unworthiness. Joanna introduces her MIND Method, a groundbreaking approach to recognizing and separating from our automatic, self-sabotaging thoughts.


    We dive deep into the origins of our inner critic, why it’s so hard to silence, and how it can shape our relationships, careers, and sense of self-worth. This discussion also explores how these patterns manifest when dealing with loved ones battling addiction or other challenges—and how emotional sobriety begins with reclaiming your inner peace and purpose.


    “The inner critic isn’t the enemy; it’s a program you can learn to separate from.” - Joanna Kleinman

  • Heart Change Over Short Change: Faith-Centered Rehab for Teens

    In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Austin Davis, LPC-S, the heart and visionary behind Clearfork Academy, a leading teen rehab facility in Fort Worth, Texas. Austin’s journey is one of deep purpose—an inspiring call to help adolescents find healing and hope through faith, community, and clinical care.


    Austin shares the mission of Clearfork Academy to create a lasting impact, or “LEGACY,” in the lives of teens and their families, working through values rooted in H.U.S.T.L.E. and Fun: Honor, Unity, Sacrifice, Transparency, Legacy, Excellence, and Fun. At Clearfork Academy, teens don’t just undergo short-term therapy; they embark on a transformative journey. With a unique approach centered on heart change, Clearfork offers a Christ-centered, therapeutic experience designed to address not only addiction but the deeper issues of the heart.


    In our conversation, we explore the importance of a faith-centered community in recovery, Austin’s personal path from ministry to mental health, and how Clearfork Academy is setting a new standard in adolescent rehab. Join us for a discussion on how faith, therapy, and intentional support can guide teens toward a new legacy.


    Listen in for hope, purpose, and the power of lasting change!
