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.

Navigating Honest Communication
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Keya McClain explores the power and complexity of honest communication—what it takes to speak truth without harm, to listen without defensiveness, and to protect your peace without silencing yourself.
Once a woman who communicated primarily through her pen, Keya reflects on her evolution into someone who now stands confidently in her voice. She shares how healing, self-awareness, and boundary work transformed the way she shows up in conversations, relationships, and moments of conflict. This episode examines when honesty builds connection, when silence becomes self-protection, and how emotional intelligence allows us to communicate with both clarity and care.
This is not a conversation about winning arguments—it’s about cultivating understanding, honoring yourself, and choosing authenticity over performance. Honest communication, as Keya reminds us, is not just about what we say, but how aware, grounded, and intentional we are when we say it.
Speak with love.
Stand in truth.
Protect your peace.
