Complete ‘N Him

There are some conversations that remind me why I started Casting the Net—and my conversation with Savio P. Clemente is one of them.

Savio is a keynote and TEDx speaker, journalist, board-certified wellness coach, bestselling author, healthcare leadership strategist, and two-time cancer survivor.

In this episode, I sit down with Savio for a powerful conversation about what happens when life disrupts everything you thought you knew.

After being diagnosed with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2014, Savio underwent aggressive chemotherapy and eventually received the news that he was in remission. But ten years later, cancer returned.

His second journey required intensive treatment, a stem-cell transplant, nearly a month in the hospital, and a recovery process that Savio describes as a medical rebirth.

But what captured me most wasn’t simply that he survived twice.

It was what survival taught him about clarity, identity, boundaries, resilience, leadership, and purpose.

We talk about learning to say “no” without feeling obligated to explain yourself, conserving your energy, finding stillness in the middle of uncertainty, and discovering how to move forward when the crisis is technically over—but you are no longer the person you were before it happened.

Savio shares a statement that stayed with me:

“Performance doesn’t fail first. Clarity does.”

That message reaches far beyond cancer.

Whether your crisis has been illness, divorce, job loss, business failure, grief, burnout, or another unexpected disruption, there comes a point when surviving is no longer the only question.

The question becomes: How will I live now?

This conversation is about finding the clarity and courage to answer that question.

What if the greatest obstacle to lasting love isn't finding the right person—but learning the skills no one ever taught us?
In this week's episode of Casting the Net: Reeling in Holistic Health, I sit down with licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, relationship coach, and educator Stephanie Wise to explore The Missing Skills Behind Lasting Love.
Together, we unpack why healthy relationships are built—not found. We discuss how communication, emotional regulation, self-awareness, and intentional connection shape every relationship we have. Stephanie shares practical wisdom on recognizing unhealthy patterns, breaking destructive cycles, slowing down before reacting, and learning how to truly turn toward your partner instead of away from them.
We also explore why love is more than a feeling—it's a daily practice that requires intentional effort, grace, and a willingness to grow together.
Whether you're single, dating, engaged, married, or simply striving for healthier relationships, this conversation will challenge you to develop the skills that create deeper connection and lasting love.
Remember, great relationships aren't built by luck. They're built one intentional choice at a time.

Every once in a while, I have a conversation that reminds me why creating safe spaces for healing is so important. This episode is one of those conversations.

I sit down with Ronald Roseboro, founder of Shame Free Life Coaching & Consulting, certified trauma-informed coach, author, and creator of The Brick Method and the Samson Restored Movement. Ronald openly shares his remarkable journey from incarceration to purpose, revealing how God transformed his pain into a mission to help men heal from trauma, shame, broken identity, and emotional wounds.

Together, we explore why so many men struggle to express their emotions, how unresolved childhood trauma often shapes adulthood, the importance of creating emotionally safe relationships, and why healing—not hiding—is the pathway to becoming stronger husbands, fathers, leaders, and men of purpose.

If you've ever wondered what men carry in silence or how we can better support the healing journey of the men in our lives, this conversation offers powerful insight, hope, and practical wisdom. This is more than a conversation about men's mental health—it is an invitation to restoration.

As your host, I believe that growing older should never mean giving up on living well. In this powerful conversation, I sit down with certified Health and Nutrition Coach Michael Dorfman, who at 84 years old is living proof that vitality has no expiration date.

Together, we explore what it really means to age with purpose instead of fear. Michael shares his remarkable journey from becoming vegetarian to embracing a plant-powered lifestyle, the lessons he's learned from studying the world's Blue Zones, and why movement, community, purpose, and daily habits matter just as much as the food we eat.

What impacted me most was hearing someone who isn't simply teaching longevity—he's living it every single day. This conversation reminded me that our health is not determined by age alone. It's shaped by the choices we make, the mindset we cultivate, and the responsibility we take for caring for the body God has entrusted to us.
Whether you're in your 30s, 50s, or 80s, this episode will challenge the way you think about aging and inspire you to begin making small changes today that can transform your tomorrow.

As your host, I believe some of the bravest moments in life happen when we choose healing over hiding. In this deeply moving episode of Casting the Net: Reeling in Holistic Health, I sit down with retired counselor, educator, and author Linda Feig Knipe to discuss her powerful memoir, Braving Therapy.

Linda courageously shares her journey through sexual assault, PTSD, depression, and the long road toward healing. Together, we explore why unresolved trauma doesn't simply disappear—it waits to be acknowledged. We discuss how shame keeps people silent, why therapy often feels harder before it feels better, and how true healing begins when we allow ourselves to be seen, heard, and supported.

This conversation is a reminder that therapy isn't a sign of weakness—it's an act of extraordinary courage. If you've ever struggled with painful memories, hidden shame, anxiety, or wondered whether healing is possible, I hope this episode reminds you that freedom is available. You don't have to carry your pain alone.

Healing begins the moment we stop surviving in silence and start telling the truth.
