The Power of Friendship

A Dedication To A Mother

💜 Episode 9 💜 This episode is dedicated to my mother, Priscella Pettway (PDot) , and to every person who has experienced the pain of losing someone they love. After taking time away from the podcast to grieve the loss of my mother, I felt it was only right that my first episode back be dedicated to her. My mother wasn’t just my mom she was my world, my best friend, and one of the greatest blessings God ever gave me. In this deeply personal episode, I share who Priscilla was, the impact she had on so many lives, and my journey through grief. We talk about the five stages of grief, mental health, healing, faith, and how to keep living while carrying the pain of loss. This conversation is for every mother we’ve lost, every memory we still hold, and every heart still healing. No matter where you are in your grief journey, I want you to know that you are not alone. We heal when we speak from the soul. 🕊️ In loving memory of “Priscella Pettway” 💜 Mental Health Is Important 🎙 Healing the Soul Podcast 🎧 Available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major streaming platforms. #HealingTheSoulPodcast #MentalHealthIsImportant #GriefJourney #LossOfAMother #PriscillaPetway #GriefAndHealing #MentalHealthAwareness #Healing #FaithAndHealing #Podcas

The Power of Forgiveness

Healing the Soul Podcast Episode 6: The Power of Forgiveness Hosted by Brother Steppa Forgiveness is one of the most powerful, yet most misunderstood parts of healing. In the streets, we’re taught to never let disrespect slide. In the church, we’re told to forgive seventy times seven. At home, wounds cut so deep that sometimes it feels impossible to let go. But what does real forgiveness look like? And how do we actually get there? In this episode, Brother Steppa takes us on a raw journey through the pain and the process of forgiveness, from family betrayals to street beefs to church hurt. We unpack how unforgiveness poisons our minds, bodies, and souls, and how learning to release it can unlock peace, freedom, and even generational healing. With scriptures like Ephesians 4:31-32 and Matthew 6:14-15, real street wisdom, and family-centered reflections, this episode digs deep into what it means to forgive without forgetting and to love without losing yourself. Forgiveness is not weakness it’s strength. It doesn’t excuse the pain, but it sets you free from carrying it. Whether you’re struggling to forgive someone else or yourself, Episode 6 will challenge you, encourage you, and push you toward healing.
