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.

Judgment vs. Alignment
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this deeply reflective and emotionally intelligent episode of The Box & The Sky series, Keya McClain the Poet explores the important distinction between judgment and alignment — and why discernment does not have to come from superiority, condemnation, or ego.
Judgment vs. Alignment dives into the emotional, psychological, and energetic differences between intentionally living in judgment versus choosing awareness, observation, intuition, and alignment in relationships, environments, and human connection.
Inspired by a recent conversation questioning whether “everyone judges,” Keya unpacks the societal conditioning, group think, projection, and emotional habits that often normalize judgment while discouraging honest self-reflection and emotional awareness.
In this episode, Keya discusses:
• The difference between subconscious human observation and intentional judgment
• Why judgment often carries superiority energy
• Alignment, intuition, and energetic discernment
• Choosing peace, lightness, and emotional honesty over forced connection
• The emotional exhaustion of judgment and projection
• Why many people focus outward to avoid inward reflection
• Discernment without dehumanizing others
• Honoring intuition without guilt, arrogance, or condemnation
Keya also explores how emotionally mature people can create distance, boundaries, and alignment without needing to villainize others in the process.
This conversation is for those seeking deeper emotional awareness, energetic honesty, healing, self-reflection, and authentic connection.
Not everything requires judgment.
Sometimes awareness is enough.
