    Ever felt like you're standing in your own way? Like there's something you're meant to do, but fear keeps holding you back? This soul-stirring conversation with Tookie from Haughton, Louisiana will have you questioning what dreams you might be postponing.

    Tookie opens up about her lifelong connection to music and the paralyzing self-doubt that kept her from sharing her gift with the world until age 35. "Self-conscious, scared, nervous... missed opportunities because of it," she confesses, painting a picture that many of us know all too well. Her turning point came from a simple promise to herself: perform on stage just once. What followed was unexpected support that transformed her life.

    What makes Tookie's perspective so refreshing is her emphasis on authenticity over perfection. She's not concerned about hitting every note perfectly – she wants listeners to feel something genuine. "I want you to hear my words... It's all about the soul of music," she explains with disarming honesty. In a world obsessed with flawless performances, Tookie's approach reminds us that real connection comes from vulnerability.

    Her parting wisdom hits like a thunderbolt: "The worst thing you can do is prevent yourself from being something you were destined to be." If something keeps calling to you, perhaps it's time to answer. As Tookie powerfully demonstrates, sometimes the most important person to show up for is yourself. Listen to this episode, then ask yourself: What might be possible if you stopped getting in your own way?

  • Rising Above: The Remarkable Journey of Jcorey Williams
    2025/07/14

    Send us a text

    The road from setback to success isn't always a straight line. JCorey Williams journey proves that sometimes the most winding paths lead to the most extraordinary destinations.

    During our vibrant Vegan Cookout episode, JCorey opens up about losing his band scholarship after failing graduation exams – a crushing blow that temporarily derailed his dreams. His candid revelation about once mocking students who had to retake tests, only to become one himself, showcases the humility that would later define his leadership style. The turning point? A judge who saw potential in him offered to drop charges if he earned his GED, sparking a remarkable educational comeback.

    JCorey doesn't sugarcoat his struggles. He admits to initially flunking out of college with straight Fs while pursuing his DJ career, believing fame made education unnecessary. After a year of soul-searching and encouragement from an unlikely mentor – his Wendy's manager – he returned to school with renewed purpose. His transformation was extraordinary: from failed student to campus leader, working in public relations, becoming a student recruiter, SGA representative, the first campus DJ, and eventually homecoming king.

    Today, as president of GoDJs Global, JCorey oversees 250 DJs, coordinates events, and runs marketing campaigns for major brands. His influence extends across 12 radio stations, and he's even ventured into acting. What makes his accomplishments even more impressive is that he's achieved them with just an associate's degree, defying the typical educational requirements for executive positions. Coming from a single-parent household without ever meeting his father and with no family connections in entertainment, his success story is entirely self-made.

    Beyond his personal achievements, JCorey's primary mission has become creating opportunities for others. "I'm not trying to take advantage of nobody," he emphasizes. "I just want to put right people in the right positions so we all can win." Follow his continuing journey on all social media @GoDJJCoreyLamar and witness firsthand how determination, faith, and hard work can transform any life, regardless of where it begins.

  • Nourishing Mind, Body, and Soul Through Divine Eating
    2025/07/10

    Send us a text

    What if the food on your plate was the key to your spiritual connection? Phoenix Starr, an 11-year vegetarian with a remarkable spiritual journey dating back to her childhood, reveals the profound link between what we eat and how we connect with the divine.

    Phoenix captivates us with her simple yet revolutionary philosophy: "Everything you do is spiritual, including what you eat." This fundamental truth transformed her approach to nourishment, leading her to distinguish between what she calls "God food"—natural, plant-based foods that elevate consciousness—and processed foods that disconnect us from our higher selves. "Man-made food puts you closer to the grave, but God food puts you closer to God," she explains with disarming clarity.

    Her journey began at just six years old when she first received her spiritual calling, setting her on a path that made her stand out as the "church girl" in school. While she initially struggled to fit in, Phoenix now embraces her unique spiritual nature and shares practical wisdom for others beginning their own nutritional transformation. She offers a gradual approach to adopting plant-based eating—starting with pescatarian choices, then eliminating one meat at a time—while emphasizing that each person's journey must be personal and free from comparison. Most importantly, she challenges listeners to reframe their relationship with food entirely, seeing healthier choices not as punishment or deprivation but as profound acts of self-love and spiritual alignment.

    Ready to transform your relationship with food and reconnect with your spiritual essence? Follow Phoenix on social media @gypsymoon and @phoenixfreedomstarr, or check out her daily stretching routines for women over 40 on TikTok @theoraclephoenix. Your journey to mind-body-soul alignment starts with what's on your fork.

  • Finding Your Voice: A Writer's Journey Back to Poetry
    2025/07/09

    Send us a text

    What happens when a dormant talent is awakened by a simple dare? Poet Awil takes us on her journey of rediscovery after five years away from writing poetry, sharing the pivotal moment when her sister challenged her to perform at Words Over Latte as a birthday gift.

    The conversation reveals Awil's unique approach to creating and performing poetry. She discusses her preference for pairing poems with musical tracks, creating multisensory experiences that allow audiences to connect on multiple levels. With refreshing honesty, she admits to pre-performance nerves—"shaking in my boots"—while emphasizing her hope that audiences will "respect the mic" and find connections within her words.

    For fellow creators struggling with creative blocks, Awil offers practical wisdom from her own experience. Rather than forcing complete works, she captures poetic fragments as they come to her, often while listening to music, later weaving these pieces into cohesive poems. This patient, intuitive approach has helped revitalize her creative practice and might inspire others facing similar challenges.

    The highlight of our conversation arrives when Awil shares an exclusive performance of her new poem "You Only Reap What You Sow," exploring themes of love, reciprocity, and personal growth. Her powerful lines—"I've healed. I'm better now, teaching others to love me better"—demonstrate the emotional depth and authenticity that define her work. Don't miss her upcoming performances at Josh Lounge on July 10th with Ari the Vibe and at Lake Street on July the 17th. Follow her journey on social media and experience firsthand the power of poetry paired with music.

  • The Voice That Refuses to Be Silenced: Josh's Journey
    2025/07/08

    Send us a text

    What happens when someone transforms their darkest struggles into art that heals not just themselves, but others? Josh, a recovering addict and gifted poet, takes us on a profound journey through addiction, mental health challenges, and ultimately, the power of human connection.

    Speaking with raw honesty, Josh shares how he defied the devastating statistics—only 2% of people recover from methamphetamine addiction—while still living in Highland, the very community where his addiction began. Rather than running from his past, he faces it daily, becoming living proof that escape is possible for those still caught in the cycle.

    "When sunflowers don't have access to the sun, they turn towards each other and share their energy," Josh tells us, perfectly capturing his philosophy of recovery. His work at a Circle K gas station might seem ordinary, but Josh finds profound meaning in being part of people's daily routines. This connection to community became his lifeline: "The minute somebody knocks on the door, it's like a cure-all." For Josh, poetry transformed from private processing to public healing when he began sharing his notebook with others. The unexpected gift? As his words lift others, their responses lift him in return.

    The episode crescendos with Josh performing two powerful original poems that leave everyone breathless—"Mental Health Awareness" and "Revival Mode." His unflinching verses about overthinking, depression, and ultimately finding resilience reveal why his voice resonates so deeply. "Resilience is born when one's strength is depleted," he writes, offering hope precisely because he acknowledges the depth of suffering.

    Follow Josh's continued journey @xocoverguyxo on all socials and witness how one person's vulnerability can create ripples of healing far beyond themselves. Have you discovered the healing power of sharing your own story?

  • From Kitchen Table to Podcast: How Kim's 20-Year Ministry Became Eat Podcast
    2025/07/07

    Send us a text

    Ever wonder how a simple kitchen table became the birthplace of a transformative podcast? Kim reveals the extraordinary 20-year journey that led to Eat Podcast, a platform created for authentic voices and genuine transformation.

    Twenty years before launching her podcast, Kim discovered her gift for creating spaces where people felt safe to be vulnerable. "They were still excited about what I had to say. They were inspired, impacted by what I was saying," Kim shares about those early gatherings that would stretch into 10-hour sessions of fellowship and encouragement. This natural ministry eventually evolved into something bigger when she "took a leap of faith" and trusted God with her vision.

    What truly sets Kim apart is her unwavering commitment to joy regardless of circumstances. When facing disappointments, she doesn't let emotions dictate her mood but instead remembers, "it's going according to God's plan, not mine." This perspective shift transforms obstacles into opportunities. A pivotal moment came when, during her first marriage separation, a friend advised: "Don't let anyone steal your smile." Those words shaped Kim's entire philosophy. "I cherish that joy so much. It means more to me than breathing," she explains, emphasizing that smiling is a choice that benefits both herself and others.

    Through Eat Podcast, Kim creates space for unfiltered authenticity. "This platform is for people that don't even know that their voice matters," she explains, inviting guests to "take off the mask" and embrace every part of themselves—even the messy parts. Her mission is healing through honesty, believing that transformation begins with transparency. Ready to share your story?

  • Freely We Receive, Freely We Give: A Conversation with Gina Raynow
    2025/07/06

    Send us a text

    Discovering ancient wisdom in modern times isn't just about nostalgia—it's about reclaiming practical health knowledge that's rapidly disappearing from our digitally dominated world. Meet Gina Raynow, a passionate advocate whose ministry, Instruments of Health, is built on the powerful principle: "freely we receive, so freely we give."

    What sets Gina apart is her comprehensive approach to health education. She doesn't just teach plant-based cooking—she empowers people to infuse vibrant flavors into budget-friendly meals that make "your body dance when you eat." Her expertise spans from wild harvesting and dehydration to practical gardening techniques that work with nature rather than against it. These aren't trendy new health hacks but ancestral wisdom passed down through generations, starting with Gina's grandmother.

    The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Gina reveals insights about Blue Zones—seven global locations where people routinely live beyond 100 years. Surprisingly, only one exists in the United States (Loma Linda, California, among the Seventh-day Adventist community). These centenarians don't rely on expensive anti-aging products or miracle pills. Their longevity secrets lie in community connection, eating from the land, regular movement, family bonds, and significant time in nature. As Gina eloquently points out, natural health solutions are already "in your cupboards, in your garden, your grocery store"—accessible to everyone willing to learn.

    Ready to transform your health using wisdom that's stood the test of time? Connect with Gina through instrumentsofhealth.org or on social media platforms where she's always willing to guide those seeking better health. Remember her powerful words: "There's no such thing as I don't have time. I always have time for people who are wanting to grow and be healthy."

As a stroke survivor who walked away from doctors' predictions he'd never walk or talk again, his story embodies resilience in its purest form. At 53, Freddie dismisses anyone suggesting he's too old for entrepreneurial success with a smile and powerful declaration: "I'm too old to be listening to people telling me that I'm not going to be successful."

His designs celebrate heritage while offering customers truly unique pieces that reflect their individual style. Through consistent practice of his God-given talents, Freddie has transformed personal challenges into artistic triumph, losing significant weight through yoga while developing his business. His philosophy intertwines physical and creative wellness: "You have to have peace of mind in order to heal from the inside."
