- Living With No Excuses: Interview With Noah GallowayIn this episode I had the privilege of talking with Noah Galloway. Noah is a former American Soldier, motivational speaker and an athletic fanatic! He wasn't always that person though. Noah shares with us the very real struggles he had endured mentally and emotionally after having to have his left arm above the elbow and left leg above the knee tragically amputated from an accident that occurred overseas. Having to come back and try to live a normal life but not have the ability too, left him in a state of denial. Until one day he decided that he needed to make a change not for just him but his family. His hard work and dedication to himself and his loved ones landed him a spot on Dancing With the Stars, an appearance on Ellen and on the cover of Mens Health Magazine. #risingabovepodcastCheck out his website!

- Baptist to Badass: Escaping A Religious Cult & Building Self-acceptance - Julianna “Juji” BlainIn this episode I talk with my friend Julianna Blain, who you probably know by her nickname Juji. Much like myself, Juji grew up in an extremely fundamental Christian-Baptist household, that was characterized by stifling rules and severely controlled environments. In this episode she talks about what life looked like growing up within her religious cult, how she left it and the impact it has in her adult life. After hearing her story, it’s easy to see what inspired her career path of being a future licensed professional mental health counselor.I’ve known Juji for a long time and she has always been outgoing, and a fun person to be around. I am truly inspired to see someone go from being deeply oppressed in their life to come out on the other side not as a victim; but as stronger, healthier, and fierce individual.#risingabovepodcastSocial Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dave_hess28/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/risingabovewithdavidhessTwitter: https://twitter.com/RisingAbovePodEmail: [email protected]Juji Social Media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JublainInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jujooo/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itsjujJuji also is a radio show host, for fun weekly local radio show called, “Who’s that Star” with Lansing Community College.
