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.
