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.

Loving Your Child Without Controlling Their Journey
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
There’s a unique kind of heartbreak and emotional tension that comes with loving your adult child while realizing you can no longer control their choices. In this deeply honest and vulnerable episode, Keya McClain the Poet opens up about the emotional weight of watching her adult son navigate a relationship that triggers fear, concern, anxiety, and protective instincts.
From raising her son at 18 and “growing up together,” to learning how to separate love from emotional control, Keya shares the difficult but necessary process of re-mothering herself while mothering her son. She discusses the realities many parents silently carry — fear of harm, fear of emotional distance, fear of saying too much, and fear of losing closeness with their children while trying to protect them.
This episode explores:
• Loving your child without emotionally consuming yourself
• The anxiety many mothers carry in silence
• Boundaries, discernment, and emotional regulation
• The fear of resentment and emotional disconnection
• Releasing hypervigilance while remaining emotionally available
• How healing yourself changes the way you parent adult children
If you are a parent struggling to balance protection, peace, and unconditional love… this conversation will sit with you deeply.
This is not a conversation about perfection.
It’s a conversation about evolution, healing, and learning how to love without losing yourself in the process.
