The Healing Creative | Season 2, Episode 5

What happens when creativity becomes part of God's healing process?

In this episode of Heart Sleeve Podcast, I sit down with media producer and Christian Creative, Eddie Mace to discuss the intersection of faith, creativity, healing, and purpose.

Together, we explore his journey from producing behind the camera to boldly sharing his own story through spoken word, and how surrendering his gifts to God transformed both his creativity and his life.

We discuss: 🎙️ Discovering a personal relationship with Christ 🎙️ Healing through creativity and storytelling 🎙️ Navigating grief, disappointment, and purpose 🎙️ Trusting God's timing and surrendering your gifts 🎙️ Using your testimony to encourage others

Throughout the episode, Eddie performs original spoken word pieces that beautifully illustrate God's ability to redeem every chapter of our story.

If you've ever wondered whether God can use your creativity, your pain, or your journey for His glory, this conversation is for you.

In this heartfelt episode of Heart Sleeve, Octavia | The Surrendered Gem welcomes DaQuala Lee, Founder of the Coronation Movement, licensed social worker, and advocate for healing and wholeness.

Together, they unpack the reality that many women experience: appearing successful on the outside while silently struggling within.

DaQuala shares her personal journey through overwhelming seasons of leadership, motherhood, and responsibility, revealing how emotional exhaustion unveiled self-made idols that she'd never intended to have.

This conversation explores mental health, vulnerability, emotional regulation, returning to God, and the courage it takes to ask for help. Through honesty and faith, DaQuala offers a powerful reminder that success is not the same as wholeness—and that true transformation begins when we allow ourselves to heal.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed, exhausted, or disconnected from yourself while trying to meet everyone's expectations, this episode will encourage you to slow down, surrender, and become anchored with your whole heart.

HEART SLEEVE PODCAST Season 2 | Episode 3

A New Hope with Ryan & Alexica Shelton

What happens when the dream you've carried your entire life doesn't unfold the way you imagined?

In this powerful and deeply transparent conversation, I sit down with Ryan and Alexica Shelton as they share their journey through infertility, pregnancy loss, grief, and the painful reality of unfulfilled expectations.

For years, they prayed, hoped, pursued fertility treatments, and trusted God through devastating heartbreak. Yet even in the midst of loss, they discovered something greater than the answers they were seeking—they found God's presence, faithfulness, and a hope that refused to let go.

This episode is for anyone navigating disappointment, unanswered prayers, broken dreams, or seasons that simply don't make sense.

Together, we discuss:

💎 Infertility, IVF, and pregnancy loss

💎 Grieving the life you thought you'd have

💎 Trusting God when the outcome isn't what you prayed for

💎 Healing through faith, community, and surrender

💎 Finding purpose, joy, and hope on the other side of heartbreak

Their story is raw. Their faith is real. And their testimony is a reminder that even when life doesn't go according to plan, God is still writing the story.

If you've ever wondered where God is in the middle of your pain, this conversation is for you.
