What happens when you are forced to face your deepest fears in a place designed to break you? In this powerful episode, we are joined by Matt Melvin, author of the memoir "Bullied Behind Bars: A Gay Christian Trump Supporter Goes to Prison." He will share his story of survival and resilience, revealing how he navigated intense adversity and found a path forward when all hope seemed lost.

Matt will share how he discovered the strength to overcome relentless bullying and the mindset shifts that allowed him to not only survive but also emerge with a profound sense of purpose. He will also offer one concrete action step that anyone can take to find strength when they feel the most alone. This is a raw, honest, and inspiring conversation about second chances and the power of the human spirit.

We've all been told that to change, all we need is willpower. But for those facing the toughest challenges, whether it's addiction, a bad habit, or a feeling of being stuck, willpower alone often fails. What if there was a better way? In this episode of "Keeping It Real," we're joined by Jeanne Foote, a Certified International Addiction and Recovery Specialist and the founder of The Recovery Concierge Inc.

She will share a new path to healing that goes far beyond simply "toughing it out," revealing why willpower is often a flawed strategy for long-term recovery. Jeanne will also explain what it means to have a "recovery concierge" and how this personalized approach can change everything, before offering one concrete step you can take today to build a new life, not just battle an old habit. If you or someone you love is searching for a new way to heal, this is a conversation you can’t afford to miss.

Join me on Keeping it Real on Purpose EdCast for a real and eye-opening conversation with Dr. Lewis Meline as we uncover how mainstream health advice may be holding you back from true wellness. We dive into the myths, the misinformation, and practical strategies you can use to take control of your health and feel your best.

This episode is perfect for anyone ready to question what they’ve been told, reclaim their body, and make smarter, evidence-based health choices.

Today I sit down with Monica Bermudez, #1 international best-selling author of Cracking the Sacred Heart Code. Monica blends the worlds of engineering, business, and mystical wisdom into a formula for awakening and ascension.

Together, we dig into the raw truth about what it means to live through heart consciousness in a world that’s been conditioned to shut the heart down. We talk about the dark side of awakening, the way survival trauma keeps people disconnected from their purpose, and how heart consciousness can actually break the cycles of fear and scarcity so we can rise into the New Earth.

If this episode cracked something open for you, don’t keep it to yourself. Share it with someone who needs to hear the truth about what awakening really means. And if you’re ready for more unfiltered conversations, hit subscribe to Keeping It Real on Purpose.
