The One Step Forward Podcast

It's sometimes so easy for something to make us mad. From a mild inconvenience to life feeling like it's trying to beat you up.

In the midst of it, you sometimes just wanna scream it all out.

But not everything that happens to you needs a reaction.

Today's episode discusses how to keep your cool when things go against your way. We share how to develop that emotional control so that you don't lose your peace over something that won't even be a real issue in a few hours.

Let us know your thoughts!

Comparison is the thief of joy, and self-doubt is a barrier to progress.

Many times, we feel that time slips through our hands so much that we're not getting to where we need to be fast enough.

[TW: overcoming suicide]

Sometimes, we experience situations that seem impossible to recover from. Those moments leave us feeling defeated, powerless, and hopeless.

But our special guest is here to explain that hope is NOT lost, even when it feels like it.

In this episode, we got to chat with Kijuan Amey: Air Force vet, motivational speaker, author, survivor, and conqueror.

He shares with us his story of dealing with the mental hurdles that comes with persevering after facing an almost tragic accident that left him paralyzed.

His miraculous story inspired him to write a book that would encourage readers to have the W.I.L.L to keep taking one step forward.

Letting go of something or someone you've grown attached to is a struggle.

They may have been part of your life for a long time. Or maybe they just had an unexpectedly huge impact on you in a short time.

But some things or people are put into your life for only a season. Once that season ends, it's time to let them go.

Today, we'll share why letting go is so difficult and advice to help to move on to the next steps in your life.

Roughly a month prior to this episode's release, we celebrated Britani's birthday by going on a cruise.

This was my first travel experience ever involving a cruise, AND being outside of the country!

It's an experience I definitely don't take for granted because it had such a positive impact on my mental health.

Listen to our review of this trip and how travel therapy did wonders for our mental (and spiritual) health.

Many people don't seek therapy despite feeling like they might need to.

Why is that? Because may people have some inaccurate beliefs about therapists and therapy altogether.

Today, we're going to correct some of these false beliefs so that you can comfortably, and confidently seek the help you want and need without feeling shame or fear.

Unexpected surprises happen (good and bad)...

And sometimes, there's nothing we can do to prepare for them. The most we can do is take each moment one step forward at a time, even when it's difficult.

Today, we'll share some heavy unexpected moments that has happened in our lives, along with some great ones as well.

As you listen, remember this:

Whether the unexpected brings you pain and turmoil, or fear of an opportunity you aren't prepared for, just know that you will endure any storm.

Let us know what unexpected moments you're about to embrace. We wanna hear from and support you!
