171. Closing the Chapter of Journey To Authenticity w/ Braiden Belnap
In this special episode, I share an important update that Journey to Authenticity is coming to an end for now. This podcast has been one of the most meaningful projects of my life, and I am deeply grateful for the conversations, growth, and incredible people it has brought into my world. Through this journey, I have learned so much about what it means to live authentically, to listen deeply, and to embrace every season of life with purpose. As I step back, it is to make space for new projects, new opportunities, and to spend more time connecting within my community. This is not a goodbye but a shift that feels right and full of possibility. Thank you for being part of this journey, for listening, sharing, and supporting along the way. The best chapters are always written when we follow where our hearts are leading next.

170. Turning Pain Into Power: A Journey of Healing and Hope w/Kyler DeLao & Braiden Belnap
In this episode, I sit down with Kyler DeLao to talk about his powerful journey through mental illness, multiple suicide attempts, and the incredible transformation that followed. Kyler opens up about what it took to fight through the darkest moments and find light again. His story is one of hope, faith, and the strength that comes from refusing to give up.
We also dive into how music became a form of healing for him and what inspired him to start creating from a place of authenticity. Beyond music, Kyler shares how he built a media business centered around videography and photography, helping others tell their stories and express emotion through art.
This episode is an honest reminder that no matter how far you’ve fallen, there is always a way back. You’ll walk away feeling inspired, motivated, and ready to see your own challenges in a new light.
Tune in and be reminded that pain can lead to purpose, and your story can make a difference.
