He only had a Pocket of Hope.
Chad freely admits that had it not been for his relationship with God, he would not be here today. His years of horrific child abuse led him into a life full of gangs, drugs, and alcohol. This also led him to time in prison.
In 2001, Chadâs mother killed his stepfather. But in his darkest times, he also knew God had more planned for his life than what he was currently experiencing. Chad never gave up working and believing that one day this would come together, and it would allow him to help millions of people that suffer from depression, trauma, and PTSD.
In 2004 Chad was honored as one of the Ten Most Outstanding Young Americans (TOYA) in the country. In 2008, he was awarded with the Daily Points of Light by President George Bush.
But by 2020, Chadâs health began declining because of fibromyalgia and his own battle with PTSD. As he began to write his book, WHO Am I (The Chad Gaines story), Chad was sleeping on the streets in San Francisco while working a full-time job six days a week. But he also knew he had a big edge on most people because he was too crazy to stop. Finally, in 2023, Chadâs book was released which sparked a new chapter in his life.
Hollywood has now begun turning Chadâs life story into a movie called Pocket of Hope and will be released theatrically soon.
Tune in to hear this amazing story of resilience and how Godâs plan for us is always bigger than the mess we find ourselves in.

Mercedes grew up in church and knew of God but didnât have a real connection to God. Early in her life she fell into drugs and alcohol and the distance between her and God grew.

As Mercedes has healed from the guilt and shame of her past, she truly understands that it really is a beautiful life.

Christa grew up with a compromised immune system and spent most of her childhood with nurses and doctors. She was unable to have the level of inner activity with her peers as most children do. Instead, she spent her time reading and expanding her mind.
Stress and other activities would cause issues with her system, so she spent a lot of time with family and resting. This caused Christa to want to explore the mental health aspect of life and although she had originally wanted to be a vet, she became a mental health advocate instead.
It has only been within the last few years that Christa has been able to come off her protocols and begin to live a more ânormalizedâ life.
Christaâs journey of self-discovery has taken several twists over the years.
Tune in to hear how self-awareness and determination can help overcome a lot of things, and even with a life altering âdisability,â you donât have to live your life in a bubble

Growing up with a unique name has its advantages and disadvantages. The downside, you are constantly being asked the same question, âIs that your real name?â The upside, you get to have interesting conversations with a lot of people. This allowed Whitedove to get comfortable outside her comfort zone.
As a young girl, Whitedove envisioned herself going into law enforcement and using that pathway to become a lawyer. But life had different plans for her. At age 18, Whitedove headed out to Colorado for a 30-day adventure that wound up altering the course of her life.
Those 30 days lead Whitedove into her true calling, which as she describes, is now serial entrepreneurship. She and her then friend, now husband, started a construction company. They also eventually started a 160-acre sustainable farm for a little while as well as several other endeavors.
Today, Whitedove is a coach, podcaster, author, mentor, and is growing her new bread business, Little Spouse Bread House.

Ann knew from a very early age that she was gifted and special. She didnât fully understand those gifts until later in life when she stumbled into massage therapy and Reiki. Ann found herself helping others and even wound up working with a couple who was in hospice, and actually worked with them for 5 years.
Ann went on to become a mental health advocate and has put on conferences and events around this subject and she has also made several films as well.
A few years ago, her entire world was shattered by the loss of her son. Suddenly, Ann felt like a fraud and withdrew from her life. She dove into the subject of grief and figured out how to live life without her son. Through this period of her life, she developed a course to help teach and guide others through their grief. Ann also eventually also wrote a book to help the healing process.
By allowing herself grace, Ann has been able to move forward in life and continues to show up in her authentic way and has regained her mind, body, spirit connection.

Nick grew up on the Jersey shore where he attended Catholic school and even though Nick was an honors student in math and physics, he used the things that he enjoyed for fun as an escape from the rest of life. So naturally, Nick headed off to college to pursue a degree in art with a minor in radio and video.
He was a sculptor, and his dream was to have his art exhibited in big shows. Nick wanted his âday job,â until he made it as an artist, to be in something close to art and came across a job in sale and advertising, which turned out to be a MLM position. During this time, Nick discovered that he had a skill for boosting the confidence in others.
Several years later, he got a job in the HR department of a casino in Atlantic City. Nick took the job head-on and soon became a sought-after recruiter in the industry.

Susan is a writer, community creator, coach, wife, and mom. One of her children has autism so needless to say, life in her household is a little different than it is for others.
Susan was already practicing home schooling (or as she calls it, unschooling) with her other children, so having to teach her autistic child from home was something she had been prepared for.
But Susanâs purpose and passion goes beyond just raising her children. It is to bring awareness to the way society has treated those with autism and that there is real proof that the knowledge and understanding of the autistic person is âin there,â and there are better ways to bring them âout.â

Jan grew up in Pittsburg, PA and spent a lot of her childhood sick. The climate of PA did not bode well for her, and she had upper respiratory issues most of her life.
Eventually Jan moved to Arizona, which was better for her physical body, but then she developed chronic migraines. In Arizona Jan was introduced to alternative medicines and techniques including, chiropractic care and acupuncture. For about 10 years she âwrote offâ allopathic medicine and began her journey into a more natural route and eventually into âenergy medicine.â
Jan originally had dreams of becoming a pilot in the military, but her short stature and vision issues prohibited those plans, so instead, she went into teaching. She started at the elementary level but after 10 years, Jan found higher education to be a better fit and taught at the college level for over 25 years.
Jan had a spiritual awakening when she was very young and sought out a deeper connection with God. Through her healing journey, she studied a variety of religions and eventually found herself studying the shamanic healings of the indigenous people of Arizona.
Today, Jan is an author, coach, and public speaker. She often refers to her spiritual practice as being a midwife to the spirit world and she loves helping others go within and transform their lives through mindfulness and meditation.
Tune in for a discussion that may spark a desire, or continuation, of your own transformation and inner healing.
