Promise Hill Podcast: An Immersive Christian Fiction Podcast That Helps You Heal, Grow, and Renew Your Mind

Welcome to Promise Hill. I’m Kimberlee Herman—your host, and a retired mental health therapist turned Christian pastoral counselor.

Let’s be honest—talking about mental health can feel overwhelming. So, in what I can only describe as a God thing, a different path opened up. That’s how the fictional town of Promise Hill came to life... and here we are.

The story you’ll hear is entirely made up. It’s not based on any one person or situation I know of. But it does reflect pieces of the human experience—the struggles, the questions, the quiet victories we all face in different ways.

Now, a quick note before you jump in: this story unfolds over time. So if this is your first time here, I highly recommend starting with Episode 1. Each chapter builds on the last, and you’ll get the most out of it if you follow along from the beginning.

My hope is that as you listen, you’ll find encouragement, insight, maybe even a few tools for your own journey. This space was created because so many people need support—and honestly, there just aren’t enough counselors, hours, or resources to meet that need. So, here’s my offering.

The ideas I share here are for entertainment and encouragement. Any action steps I mention—take what resonates and leave the rest. And if you’re really going through a tough time, please don’t wait—reach out for professional help. You're worth it.

Thanks for being here. Bless you.

From Mira’s Journal…

I came back from Grandma Eden's today, still unsure of what I’m doing here… or how to begin again.

She told me an ancient story, one about wells that felt strangely meant just for me. It was gentle, but unsettling in the way truth often is.

As I listened, I realized something: healing isn’t just about time passing. Something in me has to choose something different. My patterns can’t stay the same if I want things to get better. And for the first time, I wondered if this hard season might be asking more of me than survival… it might be asking me to change.

Just as something begins to shift, Mira receives a call she never expected: her mother, who hasn’t recognized her in months… suddenly remembers.

And with that, a deeper story begins.

Feeling lost after everything fell apart? A perspective change can move the needle.

This is the beginning of Mira’s story, a woman trying to rebuild her life after divorce, loss, and starting over.

Mira thought she was finally okay, settling into a new town, rebuilding after divorce, finding her footing again. Then, in a single moment, everything unraveled.

Her job is gone. Her past is catching up. And she’s left sitting with a question she doesn’t know how to answer:
How do you move forward when you feel completely lost?

From Grandma Eden’s Journal…

Today, I met Mira at the edge of what she believes is the end.

She came to me carrying that particular kind of loss that doesn’t always have words—when life has unraveled all at once. Divorce. Moving. Her mom. And now, the job she depended on… gone. To her, it feels like a burial. Like everything she built has been taken and placed in the dark.

But I’ve lived long enough to know something she cannot yet see: Sometimes what feels like being buried… is actually being planted.

Hope rarely arrives loudly. More often, it comes like a whisper. A small light. A gentle hand reaching through the soil. This is the start of Mira’s journey… the beginning of her learning that what feels like being buried may, in fact, be the very place where something new will take root.

And I will walk with her, as someone once walked with me...if she lets me.
