The Healing Poetic Podcast - R.I.S.E Series
Rising Into Self-Empowerment — A Healing Journey Told Out Loud
R.I.S.E. is where truth meets transformation.
Hosted by Keya McClain-Goodwin, The Hardcore Healing Pen Coach, this exclusive subscriber-only podcast peels back every layer of healing — grief, growth, trauma, love, betrayal, loss, reinvention, and the sacred work of returning home to yourself.
Each episode offers a raw, intimate glimpse into the turning points that shaped her life:
the job she walked away from, the friendships that broke then rebuilt her, the family wounds she had to recover from, the grief that taught her tenderness, and the healing that continues to reveal who she truly is.
But R.I.S.E. isn’t just about her story.
It’s about your story tucked inside hers.
Through soulful storytelling, guided reflections, and weekly journal prompts, R.I.S.E. invites you to heal out loud, honor your truth, release what no longer serves you, and embrace the life you’re becoming.
R.I.S.E. is for the woman or man who:
• Is ready to commit to their healing
• Feels alone, misunderstood, or emotionally overwhelmed
• Wants to break generational patterns
• Is tired of performing strength and desires authenticity
• Needs language for their emotions and guidance for their inner work
• Loves introspective, spiritual, emotionally intelligent storytelling
Every episode is 20 minutes or less, intentionally crafted for listeners who want depth, clarity, and transformation without overwhelm.
This is healing with intention.
This is storytelling with purpose.
This is spiritual evolution in real time.
It’s time to R.I.S.E. — not into who the world expects you to be, but into who you truly are.

Grief, Healing and the Legacy of My Uncle Prince
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I honor the life and legacy of my uncle—the man who showed up as a father figure when I needed one most. When I became a mother at 18, he met me not with judgment, but with pride, love, and celebration. His presence affirmed my worth at a time when I needed it deeply.
Thirty years ago, his passing marked my first encounter with profound grief. It was a loss that shaped my understanding of love, absence, and the long road to healing. Today, I reflect on the lessons he left behind, the ways his spirit continues to guide me, and how his love became a foundation for the work I now do around grief, peace, and legacy.
This episode is not just about loss—it’s about remembrance. It’s about unconditional love, chosen family, and the truth that those we love never truly leave us. Their legacy lives on through who we become and how we choose to love others.
