Learning to Love Without Losing Myself

Love doesn’t have to cost you yourself. In this special February panel episode of The Evolving Healer Podcast, I’m joined by Adrianna Turner for a real and honest conversation about love, attachment, and relationships — and what it truly means to learn to love without losing yourself. So many of us learned love through survival, not safety. We overgive. We overstay. We overexplain. We shrink to keep the peace. But healing teaches us something different. In this episode, Adrianna and I discuss: • How childhood attachment shapes adult relationships • Loving after trauma and betrayal • Why boundaries feel scary — but are necessary • The difference between self-love and self-abandonment • How to recognize when you’re disappearing in relationships • What healthy love actually looks like This conversation is reflective, vulnerable, and practical — for anyone who wants to heal how they love and build healthier connections moving forward. If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why do I keep losing myself in relationships?” This episode is for you. 🎙️ Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe. Share this with someone who needs to hear it.

Purpose Doesn’t Pause for Responsibilities

Purpose doesn’t pause just because life gets busy. Bills still come. Deadlines still exist. Responsibilities still demand your energy. And yet… purpose still whispers, keep going. In this episode of The Evolving Healer Podcast, I open up about what it really looks like to balance work, school, and calling while still becoming the person God is shaping you to be. This is for anyone who feels tired but refuses to quit, overwhelmed but still obedient, stretched but still showing up. We talk about: • Balancing purpose with real-life responsibilities • Burnout vs. obedience • Faith in seasons that feel heavy • Becoming without rushing the process • Giving yourself grace while you grow If you’ve been feeling behind, this is your reminder: You’re not late. You’re learning. You’re becoming. 🎙️ Listen, reflect, and share this with someone who needs encouragement today.

Pieces of Me: Identity, Truth and Becoming Whole

In this deeply personal episode of The Evolving Healer Podcast, Chris opens up about his debut memoir, Pieces of Me: A Memoir of DNA, Destiny, and Becoming Whole. For the first time, he shares the emotional journey behind discovering a life-changing truth, navigating identity shifts, and choosing healing over bitterness. Chris reflects on what it means to grow up feeling loved and secure while sensing that something was missing and how a DNA test exposed a truth everyone else seemed to know. He speaks honestly about grief, forgiveness, faith, and the courage it takes to rebuild your story piece by piece. As a counselor in training, Chris also explores how vulnerability and transparency shape the healer he’s becoming, and why our stories no matter how painful hold the power to free others. If you’ve ever questioned who you are, wrestled with forgiveness, or wondered why God reveals things when He does, this episode invites you into a space of honesty, reflection, and becoming. Pieces of Me is available now for preorder. Official launch date: January 1st, 2026. Stay tuned for upcoming book launch details and The Evolving Healer Podcast merchandise.
