The Heart Helper
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 the 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 on the 2nd and 4th Sundays at 12PM EST. This is more than a podcast—it's heart work for your healing.

Becoming the Man I Needed with Rico Flash

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.
