Send us a text Men in their 30s and 40s are some of the most exhausted people on the planet. Why? Because we’ve spent years chasing hype. We’ve been told that masculinity is about appearing strong, looking successful, or proving ourselves at every turn. We’ve been taught to fake confidence when we’re dying inside, to build reputations instead of relationships, and to trade our true selves for applause that never lasts. But here’s the truth: every man has to face this question at some point: A...
Send us a text In this powerful episode of Your Story Matters, with Branon Dempsey, our guest BJ Communicates joins us to talk about the cost of “forgetting the truth” when it comes to childhood abuse—and how many of us were taught to bury what really happened. We explore the subtle, daily ways trauma shows up in adulthood, even when we’ve convinced ourselves we’ve “moved on.” And we unpack why telling the truth about our past feels terrifying at first, but ultimately becomes the doorway to f...
Send us a text Triggers Are Windows to Heal (the Wounds) You know the feeling: a sudden sound, a fleeting look, a familiar smell, or a particular phrase, and just like that, you’re transported back to that childhood bedroom, that kitchen table, or that hallway, completely frozen in time.

Send us a text New Series: “Reclaiming Your Emotional Freedom” “The Power of Naming Anxiety” – How labeling your anxiety and the emotional overload helps regain control. Anxiety can surge into our lives—sometimes quietly, other times with overwhelming force. It can hijack our thoughts, dictate our reactions, and leave us feeling powerless.

Send us a text Nothing frustrates a narcissist more than losing the power to control or influence you. Thrive on your energy—whether it’s love-bombing, stealing your thunder/attention, or even causing pain—because it fuels their need for validation and dominance, which they see as power. But….when you focus on your own healing and growth, you take your power back. This act will become the ultimate boundary: a refusal to engage, a decision to resist being drawn into their games, and a choi...
Send us a text We’ve all been there—holding out hope that someone will finally change. Maybe this time, things will be different. Maybe this time, they’ll see the pain they’ve caused. But here’s the hard truth: when someone remains unchanged, their behavior doesn’t change either. And when we grant repeat offenders access to our lives, we’re often inviting the same harm, wrapped in the same package.

Send us a text How can a narcissist control many people at one time? They smile wide. They speaks in warm tones. It feels like trust. But beneath the surface, something darker is at work. Toxic narcissists use “Affection Flooding” as a strategy to create an environment (by a group of people,) where their power is protected. They flood this “special” group of followers with praise, false loyalty, and surface-level connection for one purpose: control. Support the show ✌️Thanks for Subscribing! ...
