In this episode of Find Our Breath, Dr. Reginald Charlestin invites listeners into a heartfelt conversation about the sacred vocation of teaching — and the unseen weight educators carry. Joined by Amber Burgin, a compassionate and seasoned teacher, they explore the emotional, spiritual, and systemic realities of life in the classroom: the call to nurture, the burden of unmet needs, and the quiet grief that often accompanies the work of care.

Together, they reflect on what it means to create safe spaces for others while searching for rest within themselves. This episode honors the classroom as both a place of transformation and a space where teachers are called to lay their own burdens down — to remember that caring for others also means learning how to breathe again.

In this episode of Find Our Breath, Dr. Reginald Charlestin sits down with Alia Berry, a social worker, to explore the sacred and strenuous work of advocacy — the call to stand in the gap for others while navigating systems that are often slow to change.

Together, they unpack the emotional and spiritual cost of caring in spaces that rarely care back. Through both pastoral and clinical lenses, they reflect on the tension between compassion and exhaustion, purpose and depletion — and what it means to still choose hope in the midst of broken systems.

This conversation honors the often-unseen labor of social workers and all who carry the weight of advocacy. It’s a heartfelt reminder that your voice matters — and so does your rest.

Grief doesn’t just touch our personal lives—it follows us into the spaces we lead. For leaders of all kinds, one of the most overlooked forms of grief is the pain of watching people walk away.

In this closing episode of Good Grief: Learning to Live, Let Go, and Breathe Again, Dr. Reginald Charlestin sits down with Matthew McFarlin—minister, author, chaplain, and certified grief-informed professional. Together, they unpack the hidden grief of leadership and explore how faith, honesty, and intentional care can transform loss into deeper growth.

If you’ve ever carried the weight of leadership loss—in church, at work, or in community—this conversation will remind you that your grief is real, your story matters, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Forgiveness is one of the hardest spiritual and emotional journeys we will ever face—especially when the wound still aches. In this solo episode of Good Grief: Learning to Live, Let Go, and Breathe Again, Dr. Reginald Charlestin invites us into a tender, honest conversation about the slow and sacred work of forgiveness.

Drawing from his perspective as a pastoral counselor and spiritual care practitioner, Dr. Charlestin reminds us that forgiveness is not a one-time act but an intentional process—one that requires courage, honesty, and partnership with the Holy Spirit. Forgiveness does not mean dismissing the pain or pretending the offense never happened. Instead, it is about confronting the truth of our hurt, understanding the “whys” beneath it, and allowing God to remove the sting so that healing can take root.

This episode is for anyone carrying the weight of betrayal, offense, or unresolved hurt. It will not offer quick fixes but will invite you into a journey—a journey of release, peace, and rediscovered breath.

Goodbyes are never easy. Some come with blessing and release. Others leave us wounded, carrying the ache of silence, rejection, or betrayal. In this episode, Dr. Reginald Charlestin shares a deeply personal story of leaving his home church, and how one pastor’s words transformed what could have felt like rejection into a moment of affirmation and sending.

With honesty, reflection, and prayer, this episode holds space for both the beauty and the pain of endings. You’ll be invited to see goodbye not only as loss, but also as release, and to consider how even painful departures can become the soil for new beginnings.

This is an episode for anyone lingering in a season that has shifted, struggling to let go, or carrying the weight of a goodbye that still hurts.

What do we do when the healing doesn’t come, the door doesn’t open, or the prayer we whispered in faith feels like it goes unanswered?

In this episode of Good Grief, Dr. Reginald Charlestin sits down with William Johnson—Millennial Pioneer, pastor, and thought leader—to explore the grief of unanswered prayers. Together, they unpack how faith is both tested and transformed in seasons of silence, what it means to walk with God when God feels absent, and how grief can become a teacher in our spiritual lives.

Whether you’re holding unspoken questions, wrestling with silence, or simply curious about how faith survives in crisis, this conversation will meet you where you are.

Grief is not just about death. It’s about the endings, transitions, and uncertainties that shape our lives. In this opening episode of the Good Grief series, Dr. Reginald Charlestin invites us to see grief differently — not as something to avoid, but as a teacher that can guide us into deeper healing.

Drawing from the imagery of Holy Saturday — that in-between space of silence and noise — and his own story of navigating life after college, Dr. Charlestin reflects on how grief shows up in both expected and unexpected places. He reminds us that grief is not “good” or “bad,” but simply a part of life, and that in its silence and noise, there is something sacred to be learned.

This episode offers gentle guidance, honesty, and a prayer for anyone learning to live, let go, and breathe again in the midst of change.
