  • Healing Out Loud: Fighting Through the Hard Days
    Feb 20 2026

    In this episode, I’m speaking raw and real about what it’s like to heal when progress feels slow… when pain tries to steal your mindset… and when you’re fighting battles no one else can see.

    I talk about the mental side of recovery, nervous system overload, staying hopeful during flare-ups, and what it means to keep showing up for your family and your purpose even when it’s hard.

    This isn’t polished. It’s honest.

    This is healing in real time.

    If you’re walking through a difficult chapter — physically, mentally, or emotionally — this episode is for you.

    Pain may be loud… but purpose is louder.

  • Built by the Storm: Scott Winchell on Hope & Redemption
    Feb 7 2026

    In this episode of the Pain to Power Podcast, we sit down with Scott Winchell for a real and honest conversation about pain, perseverance, and faith.

    Scott shares his personal journey through hardship and the moments that tested his strength, belief, and character. Together, we talk about what it means to keep moving forward when life feels heavy, how faith can carry you through seasons of uncertainty, and why purpose is often born out of struggle.

    This episode isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about showing up, trusting God in the process, and allowing pain to shape you rather than break you.
