Grief is the wilderness no one prepares us for. The world tells us to move on and bury the pain. But what if grief wasn’t meant to be erased but integrated into who we are becoming?

Melissa Dlugolecki knows this firsthand. After losing her daughter Leyden to NEC, her life was shattered, her heart broken, her finances devastated, and her sense of identity stripped away. And yet, it was in that breaking that her rebuilding began. Today, she is a speaker, coach, and author of Scar Tissue, helping thousands transform grief into healing, resilience, and purpose.

In this episode, Melissa opens up about the truth no one wants to talk about: grief doesn’t disappear, it integrates. And within those scars are the very lessons that can crown us with identity, strength, and calling.

• Why “moving on” is the biggest myth about grief
• How to truly support someone going through loss
• How to recognize grief as a part of your identity, not a season you leave behind

What if the darkest parts of your past weren’t meant to disqualify you, but to set others free?

Meet Caleb Altmeyer, Founder and CEO of Helping Captives. Once entangled in addiction, dealing, and destruction, he now leads a ministry devoted to delivering women out of trafficking, addiction, and exploitation, even transforming a strip club into a house of healing.

Effortless style is not about chasing the next trend. It’s about knowing who you are and letting that confidence speak.

Most personal brand messages fall flat because they’re built to sound good, not to connect. If people can’t feel it, they won’t follow it.

You can have a stunning logo, perfectly curated posts, and show up on every platform, but if people can’t instantly tell a friend why they follow you, you’re not creating impact… you’re just adding to the noise.

In this episode, Emily unpacks why most messages get lost in the scroll and the subtle shifts that turn a personal brand into one people can’t stop talking about. She’ll challenge the way you’ve been taught to “show up” online, expose the hidden reasons your audience isn’t engaging, and give you the tools to finally share a message that lands. Because the truth is, your brand’s power isn’t in how good it lands. It’s in how deeply it connects.

• The qualities every brand message must carry to connect deeply
• How to speak with clarity so even a 12-year-old can repeat your message
• Why conviction, not polish, makes you magnetic
• The surprising way to stand out without being controversial
• How to create a calling-based personal brand that creates legacy, not just likes

He tried to end his life three times. What happened next changed everything.

Brad Scot Johnson was once a respected pastor with a global platform. But behind the sermons and stages was a man slowly unraveling - battling addiction, shame, infidelity, and internal collapse. His fall was public. His marriage ended. And his soul was buried in shame. Until one day, he woke up after another suicide attempt and asked: If God wanted me dead… why did He let me live?

In this deeply honest conversation, Brad shares the raw truth of what it means to fall hard and rise again - not just to ministry, but to identity, purpose, and divine restoration. This isn’t a story about being perfect. It’s a story about what God can do when you finally surrender your shame.

• How shame keeps you from stepping into your authority
• Why guilt and shame are not the same and how to heal
• How to hear from God when you feel unworthy
• What it means to be “called and crowned” after failure
