  • From 150 To 355: How A Mental Health Podcast Grew Across 90 Countries (Episode 357)

    From 150 To 355: How A Mental Health Podcast Grew Across 90 Countries (Episode 357)

    Records are exciting, but the reason behind them means more. We nearly doubled our all-time monthly listenership in October 2025 and crossed past 355 episodes, and we’re taking a moment to say thank you while grounding the celebration in what matters: real mental health stories, practical resources, and a global community that shows up for one another.

    We walk through the milestones and reflect on how this show grew from episode 150 last year to a worldwide audience in 90 countries and almost 900 cities. Along the way, we highlight why every conversation—solo or with guests—sits on a foundation of lived experience and mental health advocacy. If you or someone you love needs support, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in the United States offers call, text, and chat, staffed by people who understand crisis and trauma. That empathy is the difference between information and care, and it’s central to our mission.

    You’ll also hear shoutouts to new listeners in Morocco, China, South Korea, Brazil, Bangladesh, India, Israel, UAE, Japan, Malaysia, France, Ireland, Kazakhstan, Sweden, New Zealand, Ukraine, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Finland, Nigeria, Tanzania, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Egypt, Oman, Cyprus, Uruguay, Turkey, and more. We share how to listen without an app at voicesforvoices.org/podcast, where to connect on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, X, and LinkedIn, and what’s new with our blogs and Voices for VoicesⓇ Publishing. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we invite volunteers, donors, and future guests who want to help us reach an audacious goal: serve three billion people over a lifetime and beyond.

    If this message resonates, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review to help more people find mental health support and stories that heal. Tell us where you’re listening from and what topic you want next—we’re listening.

  • From Olympic Ice To Inner Healing: Nicole Bobek On Pressure, Addiction & Owning Your Story | Ep. 353

    From Olympic Ice To Inner Healing: Nicole Bobek On Pressure, Addiction & Owning Your Story | Ep. 353

    A tiny blade, a roaring arena, and four minutes that can rewrite a year—Nicole Bobek knows what it means to balance grace and grit on the thinnest edge. We sit down with the former U.S. champion and Olympian to explore the real story behind the spotlight: the sacrifices that fuel elite performance, the psychological pressure no camera can capture, and the complicated work of rebuilding a life once the music stops.

    Nicole takes us inside the craft of figure skating—short versus long programs, required elements, and the relentless repetition that creates true muscle memory. Then she pulls back the curtain on the inner battles: emotion versus execution, identity splits between “the skater” and “the person,” and the moments perfection culture leaves you gasping for air. We talk addiction and recovery, the decision to leave an abusive relationship, and the long, vulnerable road of IVF that led to her son. Through it all, she leans on a simple anchor—anxiety is the future, depression is the past, live in the now—and the practical support of alignment coaching to revisit hard chapters without drowning in them.

    Her new book, Bobek: The Wild One, ties those threads together. It’s more than a sports memoir; it’s a mirror for anyone who has chased excellence, lost themselves, and fought to return. Nicole shares why she wrote it now, how motherhood reshaped her perspective, and why getting the smallest details right matters to the people who have walked with her for decades. We also talk about that iconic Vogue spread, being enough without selling a brand, and what it really takes to hang up the cape and keep the lights on. If you’re seeking a story about resilience, self-acceptance, and telling the truth that sets you free, you’ll find it here.

  • AX And Sophia Waters (Episode 352)

    AX And Sophia Waters (Episode 352)

    A story can save a life—or hide a wound. We sit down with author David Solomon to unpack the day AX was born, the moment Sophia Waters first sang portals open, and the long, painful path from prodigy to survivor reclaiming his work. What begins as a creative anniversary becomes a frank look at alleged grooming, trafficking, and the way influence in Christian publishing can warp mentorship into control. David shares how a five-hour call set off church upheaval, how meetings turned into hours of idea extraction, and why certain details in “family” fantasy cross lines kids should never have to navigate.

    We walk through the heart of AX, a modern reimagining of Saul becoming Paul through a vampire-turned-soul-saver, and the vision for Sophia Waters, where a siren voice connects to the Tower of Babel and the cost of misused power. David explains why he’s resurrecting both projects: to center redemption without exploitation, to protect young readers, and to prove that Christian fantasy can be bold, lyrical, and safe. The conversation doesn’t flinch from faith either. David prays daily for those he accuses, asks for repentance and consequences, and names the difference between forgiveness and accountability—because spiritual language must never shield abuse.

    In our final act, we spotlight the quiet heroes in the justice system: attorneys who honor clients, guard confidentiality, and refuse shadowy back-channeling. We encourage listeners to document misconduct, contact bar associations, and insist on ethical representation. If you’ve ever wondered where creativity, conscience, and the rule of law meet, this conversation offers a compass: protect children, tell the truth, and keep power accountable.

  • My Toothbrush Dove Into The Toilet And Somehow This Became A Lesson On Joy | Ep. 351

    My Toothbrush Dove Into The Toilet And Somehow This Became A Lesson On Joy | Ep. 351

    Your day can change on a toothbrush drop or a coffee spill—and not because of the mess, but because of the meaning you attach to it. We explore how to turn small setbacks into small wins, reclaim a few minutes at a time, and steady your mind with a higher standard of purpose the host calls being a “Jesusaire.” Whether your anchor is faith or a set of values, that north star helps you respond instead of react, protect your attention, and move forward with intention.

    We get honest about comparison—how bench press numbers, likes, and titles can hijack self-worth—and why art offers a better model. There is no single right way to color a page or tell your story. By stepping away from engineered feeds that feel like casinos and saying yes to simple creative acts, you reduce stress at the source and gather “time refunds” that add up. Along the way, we name addiction as illness, not weakness, and underline practical support, including the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for anyone who needs it.

    Perseverance sits at the heart of these ideas. The Michael Jordan cut-from-the-team story isn’t sports trivia; it’s proof that rejection can be ignition when you keep showing up. The movement behind Voices for Voices continues in that spirit—publishing books, sharing original tools, and inviting you to speak your truth despite criticism. If you’ve felt stuck, judged, or on the edge of giving up, this conversation offers grounded encouragement: act anyway, ask for help, and protect the minutes that protect your mind.

    If this resonates, subscribe, share it with someone who needs a lift, and leave a review telling us the smallest change you’ll make this week to lower stress. Your voice matters—add it to the chorus.

  • You Don’t Need A Perfect Voice To Share Your Voice | Ep 350

    You Don’t Need A Perfect Voice To Share Your Voice | (Episode 350)

    Fear can turn a simple song into a mountain. Justin takes us through that climb—how panic at a lectern, years of comparison, and the weight of being seen slowly gave way to a gentler practice of participation. The story isn’t about hitting the right notes; it’s about learning to belong without earning it, and letting your voice be enough, exactly as it sounds today.

    We unpack the link between expression and mental health, exploring how anxiety narrows our lives and how small, chosen risks widen them. From church rituals and call-and-response to everyday moments that invite a word, a whisper, or a nod, we highlight the power of starting where you are. Justin shares why stepping back from public reading protected his well-being, and how singing quietly—then more fully—became a steady form of exposure that calmed his nervous system over time. Along the way, we redefine voice to include writing, sign language, music, and caregiving gestures, expanding what belonging looks like in real communities.

    If you’ve ever felt judged for not being “good enough,” this conversation offers a new route: participation over performance, repetition over perfection, compassion over comparison. You’ll hear practical ways to try a verse you don’t know, choose roles that fit your limits, and keep your dignity intact while you grow. Stick around for a heartfelt invitation to celebrate every kind of voice and a reminder that presence is the point. If this resonates, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and tell us: where will you use your voice this week?

    Gabriel Bloor shatters conventional Christian fiction expectations with his bold, unflinching approach to storytelling. Gone are the days of sanitized faith narratives where prayer magically solves every problem. Instead, Bloor invites us into what he candidly describes as "a war zone" – stories filled with graphic realities, psychological depth, and authentic spiritual journeys.

    What makes Bloor's work revolutionary isn't just his willingness to depict blood, gore, and violence, but his masterful use of these elements to illuminate deeper truths about faith and human nature. "I will not put man's doctrine alongside of Christ's teaching," he explains, describing how he deliberately incorporates false theological perspectives into his narratives to expose their flaws through authentic storytelling rather than direct criticism.

    His creative process reveals a writer deeply committed to emotional truth. Bloor doesn't merely want readers to observe his stories – he wants to invade their minds, challenging perspectives and breaking down assumptions about God. "When I write a story, it's an invasive species," he explains. "It's meant to attack the reader in such a way where it questions their perspective on life." This invasive quality explains why five Christian publishers rejected his work as "too dark" before he found a home with a secular publisher willing to embrace his distinctive voice.

    Perhaps most fascinating is Bloor's approach to depicting salvation. Rejecting cliché "sinner's prayer" moments that instantly transform characters, he acknowledges the complex reality that new believers don't always feel immediately different. Yet he beautifully captures the essential truth that accepting Christ removes a spiritual weight – the weight of eternal separation from God. As one church member told him, "I have never read a Christian author who wrote a walk to salvation in the way you have."

    Ready to experience fiction that doesn't shy away from darkness but still points toward light? Dive into Gabriel Bloor's work and discover how authentic storytelling can challenge your perspective while deepening your faith. Subscribe now to hear more conversations with boundary-pushing creators who are redefining Christian media.

    Author Gabriel Bloor reveals his unique approach to Christian fiction, crafting raw, gritty stories that confront hard truths while maintaining biblical integrity. He breaks conventional Christian publishing norms by incorporating realistic struggles, violence, and pain to create immersive narratives that challenge readers' perspectives.

    What if the very challenges you face could become your greatest creative strengths? Meet Gabriel Bloor, a dyslexic author who transforms his neurodivergent thinking into a superpower for crafting immersive fictional worlds.

    "My mother told me for the longest time my dyslexia is not a weakness but a superpower," shares Bloor, whose unique cognitive perspective allows him to simultaneously inhabit his characters while maintaining a bird's-eye view of his entire fictional universe. This dual perspective creates a reading experience that multiple readers have described as "like watching a movie."

    Bloor's writing journey began at 13 with simple story completion exercises assigned by his homeschooling mother as a prerequisite for video game time. What started as a childhood task exploded into a prolific creative process that has yielded approximately 120 book starts over the past decade. His approach to character creation happens instantaneously—full personalities, appearances, and backgrounds materializing in his mind with remarkable detail. The only exception? Names, which he admits slip from his memory almost immediately.

    What distinguishes Bloor in the Christian fiction landscape is his willingness to explore darker psychological themes. Currently pursuing a psychology degree at a Christian college, he incorporates this knowledge into stories like his upcoming comic series "Crosshairs of My Heart"—following a high school bounty hunter funding his mother's cancer treatment while navigating faith, temptation, and first love.

    For fellow creatives struggling with mental health challenges or neurodivergence, Bloor offers transformative advice: "Find your weakness in your strengths and find your strengths in your weakness." Through understanding how his mind works—sometimes hyperfocused, other times scattered—he's adapted his creative process accordingly, even using music that matches the emotional tone of scenes he's writing.

    Discover Gabriel Bloor's work on Amazon under his name, featuring poetry collections including "Gabriel's Message," or find him on Rumble as "TheCustodian" where he shares insights about his creative process, books, and more. Join us for a fascinating journey inside the mind of an author who proves that our greatest perceived limitations often contain our most unique gifts.

    Author Gabriel Bloor shares his unique approach to writing as someone with dyslexia, revealing how his neurodivergent thinking creates immersive fictional worlds that readers experience like watching movies. He discusses his journey from struggling with basic storytelling as a teen to developing complex characters and worlds that incorporate psychological depth within Christian fiction.
