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.

Passionate vs. Uninterested Why Caring Deeply Is Often Misunderstood
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this heartfelt episode of The Box & The Sky series, Keya McClain the Poet explores why emotionally engaged people are so often misunderstood in a world that frequently mistakes emotional distance for strength.
Through personal stories and thoughtful reflection, Keya examines the difference between passion and aggression, emotional investment and emotional instability, and why many people suppress their authenticity to avoid being labeled "too much."
This conversation reminds us that caring deeply is not a weakness—it is evidence of presence, purpose, and emotional courage.
In this episode, Keya discusses:
• Why emotionally expressive people are often misunderstood
• Passion versus emotional instability
• The societal pressure to appear detached
• Why vulnerability makes some people uncomfortable
• Emotional engagement without losing yourself
• Healing without becoming emotionally numb
• Honoring your emotional depth while maintaining healthy boundaries
This episode is for anyone who has ever been told they care too much, feel too deeply, or are "too intense."
You don't need to become emotionally detached to protect your peace.
You simply need to care wisely.
