Local Podcast Focuses on the Healing Journey

By

A local podcast is gaining traction with their fully funded Kickstarter campaign and their first season nearing 1000 downloads. Tears, Tides, and Transformation: A Podcast About Healing is hosted by KeAnna Daniels and Bridget Flaherty, women brought together by friendship and a shared passion for real conversations and personal growth. Focusing on the healing journey with tools, tips, and triumph, Ke and Bridget are spreading hope through vulnerability.

Their diverse backgrounds and mutual respect has created a safe place for dialogue about the elephant in the room. Tears, Tides, and Transformation has already distinguished itself as a safe place for women to talk about and listen to stories about overcoming abuse, generational trauma, addiction, mental illness, and life challenges.

Bridget and KeAnna

KeAnna and Bridget interview women who are willing to vulnerably share their experiences with healing and mental health. The hosts then reflect on what they learned from the interview. Each episode provides tips and best practices for tackling the real challenges that are a part of all of our lives.

Here is what people are saying:

“I listened and I cried happy tears because I have a beautiful soul sister who has given me space to be my true self, and continues to love me in spite of my short-comings and flaws. I also recognized my growth and its beautiful to look back and see where I’ve come from” – NaAsiaha Simon, podcast guest

“Just listened to the latest episode of your podcast and I literally felt like I could just sit in Vicki’s lap and cry for an hour. I felt so seen and understood. Thank you for doing this work. I pray its reach is expansive and that it will touch many more lives.” – Nicole McKoy, podcast guest and listener

The podcast is just the beginning. KeAnna and Bridget have a vision of a thriving community of women supporting women on the healing journey including community events, online forum conversations, videos, and written publications.  Their first season can be heard on Apple, Google, Spotify, and Audible.
