Adrianne Murchison: podcaster and writer
Let’s Start Healing Podcast with Adrianne Murchison features people from every spiritual or religious faith and background, sharing aspects of their spiritual path and relationship with God. Adrianne is a writer and editor, who resides in the Atlanta, Ga. area. Her work as a journalist, as well as her personal engagement in diverse spiritual discussion and study groups has revealed that we have more common than we think and what we have in common can change the world.
Author, holistic healer and wellness coach Dina Saalisi discusses her newly released book, "Transcending Sexual Trauma: Self-Awareness Tools and Nature-Based Practices to Cultivate Inner Healing."
The first line of the preface states, "There is no linear path to healing from sexual trauma." We delve into this during our conversation. Saalisi is a Certified Trauma-Informed Coach, a National Board Health and Wellness Coach and a Certified Hypnotherapist.

I'm joined by empowerment and business coach Sandra McIntosh, host of 90 Day Wins, @SandyB90DW for a pointed and heartfelt reflection on two powerful podcast conversations — Den of Kings and Just Heal — where men opened up about mental health, grief, faith, and healing.
Kirk Franklin hosted one podcast and was a guest on the other. Here are those conversations that inspired this Let's Start Healing episode:
Just Heal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95BwtFsaNMY&list=PL-NoYPoRM_guonMqvDd217EkqYYdND4VL&index=3
Den of Kings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeX11CYxq9w
Sandra — who has been married for 21 years — and myself, as a single woman, bring two different perspectives to what we heard and felt as men shared their emotional truths. (90 Day Wins Podcast https://www.youtube.com/@SandyB90DW)
We explore what it means to witness men being vulnerable — to hear them speak about the pressures they face, the pain they often carry quietly, and the courage it takes to express it. The conversation moves through themes of spirituality vs. religion, loss, healing, and the possibility of deeper understanding between men and women.
This isn't an expert discussion — it's an open-hearted reflection between two women listening, learning, and sometimes frustrated but always holding space for men's humanity.

A live recording with my friend and Spiritual Counselor James Sims — coming to us from Colorado — and who shared the mic with me during our 24-hour Live in September. Today we're exploring resistance: why it shows up in our mind and spirit, what it protects, and how it can actually point us back to purpose.
We talk fear vs. intuition, attachment vs. surrender, and practical ways to move from tension to clarity.

LIIV Atlanta church Pastor Mayo Sowell shares the impact of living homeless on the streets of Atlanta for one week last spring. With only a GoPro camera, a Bible, a journal, and the clothes on his back, he set out with a determination to better understand life for the city’s unhoused residents.
In this conversation, Pastor Sowell also reflects on his own remarkable journey — from selling drugs and serving time in prison to becoming a pastor— and how he transformed his life.

Author Danny Blue shares how after years of corporate success, career pivots, and personal soul-searching, he turned his journey into inspiration with his debut children's book, “Coalie and the Great Mystery.”
During our conversation, Danny opens up about connecting with deeper, sometimes hidden aspects of himself, insights gained through The Monroe Institute — an educational center that offers the study of human consciousness — and why he believes life isn't necessarily about finding yourself, it's about becoming who you are.
"Coalie and the Great Mystery" is available by paperback on Amazon. Hard copies of the book are available at Iamcoalie.com. https://iamcoalie.com/
Note about this episode: About 20 minutes into this conversation, something strange happened. My power suddenly went out with a loud boom as if it was raining, even though the sun was shining.
When the power came back, my internet kept dropping. My guest Jacqueline Drumwright and I were disconnected three, four… maybe five times during this recording. But she stayed patient, and somehow we were able to keep the flow and capture the entire conversation.
A friend later asked if maybe that was a sign I wasn’t supposed to have this talk, but I felt the opposite. I was determined to see it through, and I’m so glad we did.
About the conversation: Do you find it easy to talk with friends about God?
This episode began with a spontaneous phone call. I was having a spiritual epiphany, deep in thought about God, when my friend Jacqueline called. In that moment, I invited her to join me on the podcast to talk about what was on my heart. Jacqueline — who is an educator in North Carolina — and I have some real differences in how we see things spiritually, yet this conversation turned out to be rich, thought‑provoking, and insightful.
Even in our differences, we found a way to communicate with love and respect. And I’m grateful for friends like Jackie who remind me that’s possible.

In this episode, I talk with Charles Sharper, founder of Healthy Youth USA Foundation in metro Atlanta. Charles shares his journey of being adopted through foster care and how the grace of God has helped to shape him — both as a person and in the way that he wants to live his life.
He says that grace and guidance shows up with his family, in mentoring and creating opportunities for youth, and in his church community.

Dr. Karida Brown discusses historic inequities in the education of Black children, and her new book, 'The Battle for the Black Mind."
The book is a historical account of a century of systematic efforts to control what Black children are taught and how they are educated. It reminds readers that Black educators and families built private schools and institutions to resist those efforts. Brown says they left behind a blueprint for today.
During our conversation, she shares her spiritual connection to ancestors and what it means to express humanity and empathy during these tumultuous times.
She is a cultural sociologist, an Emory University professor of sociology, and an oral historian who served on The Obama Presidency Oral History Project. Brown has earned recognition from such institutions as the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and last year, she received an NAACP Image Award for “The New Brownies Book: A Love Letter to Black Families,” an anthology that she co-authored with her husband, artist Charly Palmer.

What does it really mean to accept God's love — and what changes when you finally do? In this episode, I share a personal reflection on letting God love you fully and without fear.
God's love doesn't come with conditions. Accepting it means letting of guilt, shame and fear. And stepping into deeper truth that you are already loved, already worthy and already enough.

In this full-length conversation, I sit down with three men from different generations to talk about what too often goes unsaid — the emotional battles men carry behind the scenes.
Russell Murchison, Charles Gilbert and David Thomas speak candidly about the pressure to stay strong, the pain of grief and identity loss, and why being vulnerable can feel so risky. As Black men, they also reflect on the added layers of cultural conditioning and societal expectations; and how those experiences can shape the way Black men navigate emotion, relationships, and healing.
In my introduction, I talk about how — when we look beyond cultural differences and the histories we carry — many of us share the same deep desire: to be seen, understood, and free to be ourselves.
Whether you’ve followed the series or are tuning in for the first time, this episode offers a raw and heartfelt look at what strength in men really means. #mensmentalhealth #godislove

In this segment on men's mental health, Russell Murchison, Charles Gilbert and David Thomas open up about what males are taught while growing up about emotions and manhood. And how those early lessons during childhood can shape a man's ability to express emotional needs as an adult.
From being taught to 'tough it out,' to feeling misunderstood by the women in men's lives, my guests share what gets in the way.
This is the third segment of the larger conversation held with my guests.

This is Part 2 of my conversation with men speaking on Men’s Mental Health, a segment of our larger conversation that will be released in full after part three.
In this part, Russell Murchison, Charles Gilbert, and David Thomas open up about coping with loss and the weight of what they can’t control.
They share how the loss of loved ones shaped them, reflect on grieving experiences as young men, and describe the disorientation that comes with such moments.
If you missed Part 1, be sure to check it out — and stay tuned for part three and the full episode release.

In this first segment on men speaking on Men’s Mental Health, three men — Charles Gilbert, Russell Murchison, and David Thomas — join me for a candid conversation about vulnerability, communication, and how men navigate emotional openness with women.
Can women truly accept a man who shows his softer side? Or does being vulnerable risk being seen as “soft”? The men share their perspectives on whether women can handle the truth when it comes to men’s inner struggles.
Stay tuned for parts two and three — and the full episode release coming soon!

In this episode, I’m joined by Cassie Parlotto, owner of Joiful Yoga in metro Atlanta. Cassie is a certified expert in Kundalini yoga, Reiki, vision boarding, and more. She shares her unfolding spiritual journey — one that has led her to become a woman of deep wisdom, compassion, and insight.
Together, we reflect on the importance of sharing what we’ve learned with others — not from a place of ego, but from a desire to help, connect, and heal. Cassie reminds us that our lived experiences and spiritual growth aren’t just for us; they’re meant to be offered outward as light for someone else’s path.
If you’ve ever questioned whether your voice or story matters, this conversation will encourage you to share your truth, because someone out there needs to hear exactly what you’ve learned.

How purpose, passion, and prayer align with divine guidance.
In this solo episode, I’m reflecting on the call we each receive — that spiritual pull from God that aligns our purpose, our passion, and our healing. When we ignore that call, we disconnect from who we truly are. But when we answer it, we step into a life of deeper meaning and peace.
I also talk about the power of forgiveness, especially self-forgiveness, and how honest communication with God through prayer and meditation can transform us from within.
If this episode moves you, I invite you to follow the podcast and share it with someone who’s walking their own path of healing and purpose.

Adrianne Murchison
Emergency Room Veterinarian Dr. Camara Carter understands the aching sadness of pet owners and their dying pets. Dr. CC shares how she started her business of euthanizing very sick pets at their family's home.
Dr. CC says on her website for PeacefulPaw Transitions: "I realized that many of my patients and their loved ones could have a more comfortable transition process, something that I would have liked to experience with the passing of my own beloved pets.
I not only wanted to offer professional in-home euthanasia services that allow families to be in a familiar, comfortable environment, but to also create an atmosphere that supports a tranquil, peaceful energy. Thus, PeacefulPaw Transitions was born."

Political activist and best-selling spiritual author Marianne Williamson is unapologetic about why we are in a period of time in which people are called to be proactive in humanity, politics and spirituality.
She also discusses her candidacy for U.S. Presidential Office in 2020 and 2024. Following the November election, Marianne was a candidate for Chair of the Democratic National Committee.
Marianne has been a leader of spiritually progressive circles and is known as a teacher of the book "A Course in Miracles."
She is the author of 16 books, four of which have been #1 New York Times best sellers. Two lines from the mega-bestseller, "A Return to Love," are often quoted and considered an anthem for a contemporary generation of seekers: "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…”
Marianne's other bestsellers include "A Woman’s Worth," "The Law of Divine Compensation," "Tears to Triumph" and 'The Gift of Change." With her books and online classes she has taught millions of people the universal spiritual principles at the heart of miracle-minded thinking.
Marianne founded Project Angel Food, a non-profit organization that has delivered more than 18 million meals to ill and dying homebound patients in the Los Angeles area since 1989. The group was created to help people suffering from the ravages of HIV/AIDS. She has also worked throughout her career on poverty, anti-hunger and racial reconciliation issues. In 2004, she co-founded The Peace Alliance and supported the creation of a U.S. Department of Peace.
Her latest book titled, "THE MYSTIC JESUS: The Mind of Love," is available online and at bookstores everywhere.

Instead he joined the U.S. Army and spent a tour in Vietnam. Afterwards, McAllison worked in a counter smuggling, counter terrorist unit interfacing with cartels.
