In this powerful episode of The Heart Helper, Jodie sits down with multi-talented creative Jon Clawd — an actor, artist, producer, director, and writer who is making waves in the entertainment industry while staying grounded in faith and purpose.

But this conversation goes deeper than career highlights. Jon opens up about the journey behind the success — the challenges, the lessons learned, and how his relationship with God continues to guide his decisions both personally and professionally.

Together, they explore what it means to strengthen your spirit in an industry full of distractions, the importance of honoring your spouse and family, and how alignment, faith, and discipline lead to true blessings and fulfillment.

This episode speaks to creatives, entrepreneurs, men striving to lead with integrity, and anyone seeking encouragement to pursue their calling without compromising their values.

In this episode of The Heart Helper Podcast, artist Rico Flash opens his heart and shares a truth many men live with, but rarely name — having a father in the home, yet lacking emotional presence and guidance.

What began as a vulnerable social media post about the absence of fatherly support unexpectedly went viral, as men across the world reached out to say, “I feel this too.” Through his honesty, Rico created space for others to acknowledge their own wounds, reminding us that healing often begins when one person is brave enough to tell the truth.

This conversation is not about blame, but about becoming. Rico reflects on what it means to seek guidance from God when earthly guidance feels incomplete, how intimacy with God reshapes the heart of a man, and why starting each day at God’s feet allows us to walk more firmly in faith.

Rico also shares the heart behind his latest EP, Polaroid, and how music has become a vessel for processing memory, emotion, and healing — capturing moments of love, growth, pain, and transformation through sound.

At its core, this episode is a sacred reminder: men carry deep feelings too, and vulnerability is not weakness — it is the doorway to connection, brotherhood, and healing. When one man speaks, many hearts are freed.
