“On the day I planned to take my life… I stopped to write my kids a letter. That habit saved me.”  -  Christoph Merrill

In this moving episode of the ReFind Resilience Podcast, ​⁠‪@CHRISTOPHmerrill‬ author of Habit Freak, shares how living with Type 1 Bipolar Disorder has taught him the power of intentional habits—not just for productivity, but for survival.

Christoph opens up about:
• The extreme highs of mania and the crushing lows of depression
• How he’s learned to let suicidal thoughts pass through him instead of being consumed by them
• The simple, consistent habit of writing daily letters to his children—and how it literally kept him alive on his darkest day and how he helps others make habits that matter both on stage and online.

This is a raw, hope-filled conversation about mental health, breaking stigma, and using small daily actions to anchor yourself in the middle of life’s storms.

New episode drops on Monday at 5 AM ET.

What happens when you’re navigating not one parent with cancer, but two, grief hits like a freight train and yet the show must go on?

On this week’s ReFind Resilience Podcast, @karihawkerdiaz - beloved host of @KUTV Fresh Living shares the raw, beautiful, and brutally honest truth about losing her mom during COVID.

Kari opens up about:
💔Navigating the reality of living in a world where reality is altered by loss
💔 Holding it together on set—when nothing felt together behind the scenes
💔What grief felt like for her and the importance of having support

With her signature self-awareness and humor, Kari reflects on the surreal emotional juggling act of being the “fresh” face of a daytime TV show… while barely surviving the fog of grief internally.

This episode is a tender reminder that resilience doesn’t always look like strength—sometimes it looks like mascara in the car, shaky smiles on camera, and learning to mother yourself when you feel you might be lost

REDEFINING RESILIENCE: Chris Yadon, MPA addresses forgiveness, prevention and healing for both victims of CSA and those who have abused on the ReFind Resilience Podcast.

66% of incarcerated women say they were victims of child sexual abuse. Knowing this is one thing, taking action to address a path of change and healing forward is another.

On this episode of the ReFind Resilience Podcast, I sit down with Chris Yadon, Managing Director of Saprea.org, to talk about a mission that most are afraid to face: healing for survivors—and prevention that includes accountability and education for those who have caused harm.

We talk about what real resilience looks like when:
🔹 You’ve been abused and are finding your way back to wholeness
🔹 You’ve caused harm and are now incarcerated, doing the inner work to break cycles
🔹 You’re ready to challenge shame—not with judgment, but with change

Chris reminds us: no one heals in isolation, and ending the epidemic of child sexual abuse means providing tools for survivors and confronting the systems, behaviors, and wounds that perpetuate abuse—even in prison cells.

🎙️ In this episode:
▪️ The urgent need to shift societal perception around child sexual abuse
▪️ How Saprea retreats and online tools help adult survivors heal
▪️ What it means to address the roots of abuse in prison settings
▪️ Why shame prevents healing—and what replaces it

This conversation is for anyone ready to believe that cycles can be broken, healing is possible, and redemption is real.

🙏 Grateful to our sponsors CHill Consulting Agency and @BuildThenBless for supporting these necessary conversations on ReFind Resilience.

Navigating Infertility Is Not a Failure or a Success-It Just Is What It Is

This week I have a power couple in studio and you don’t want to miss the episode.

Why? Because dynamic couple Brad Brockbank and Angel Brockbank open up on the ReFind Resilience Podcast about their raw, emotional journey with infertility—and the truth they had to face: this wasn’t a problem they could “fix.”

Instead, they learned to support each other through the waiting, the pain, and the letting go of control. They talk about finding joy in each other when answers didn’t come… and how faith, patience, and deeper connection became the healing.

This episode is for anyone carrying invisible heartbreak and trying to hold on to love and hope through it all.

This week on ReFind Resilience, I sit down with the radiant Nicea DeGering from ABC4 Utah - Utah's CW30 (KTVX/KUCW) #GoodThingsUtah and we go deep.

As we celebrate Mother’s Day, Nicea opens her heart about the recent loss of her beloved mother — the ache, the love, the memories that linger. In summary of her words, grief has a way of shrinking everything else… It forces you to slow down and truly see what matters most.

This is more than a conversation. It’s a tribute to the bond between mothers and daughters, the beauty in presence, and the power of honoring a life well lived.
