The Heart Helper Podcast
Welcome to The Heart Helper Podcast, hosted by Jodie Shannon—transformational author of The Book of Real S**t, Flowers in the Garden, and the highly anticipated devotional Out of Comfort Into Calling. This award-winning podcast isn’t just content—it’s a calling. In a world chasing influence, we offer something deeper: connection, conviction, and Christ.
At The Heart Helper, we believe healing happens when hearts get honest. Rooted in biblical truth and spiritual transparency, this podcast is a sacred space for the stories that shape us. Every episode invites you into powerful conversations with people who’ve overcome alcoholism, depression, divorce, suicidal thoughts, and more—guided back to life through faith, forgiveness, and grace. You’ll also hear testimonies of restoration, God-ordained marriages, and the beauty of becoming who you were always meant to be.
This isn’t about perfection—it’s about process. And if you’re ready to rise from where you are to where God is calling you, you’re in the right place.
Named Best Mind, Body & Soul Podcast by the Urban Media Film Festival, we exist to help you manage your mind, strengthen your spirit, and honor your heart. Inspired by Jodie’s upcoming book Out of Comfort Into Calling, each episode is your invitation to walk boldly in purpose.
Join us every week. This is more than a podcast—it’s heart work for your healing.
