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.

Bonus Episode: Grieving, Grace, and the God Who Holds Us
Jul 8, 202500:18:10Tap to summarizeIn this special bonus episode of The Heart Helper Podcast, I open my heart in honor of my cousin Jevaun Mulai—whose life was tragically taken by domestic violence and whose birthday we remember today, July 8th. Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and healing rarely looks how we expect. But even in the heartbreak, God remains faithful.This episode is a sacred space for those who are grieving—whether the loss is fresh or long buried. Together, we reflect on Ecclesiastes 3 and the reminder that there is a time for everything: a time to mourn, and a time to dance. We pray for the brokenhearted, for grieving parents, and for the victims of the recent flash floods in Texas. If you’re hurting, you’re not alone. May this episode guide you gently toward healing, and remind you that praise can still rise even from the depths of pain.Show @thehearthelperpodcastHost @iamjodieshannon
