    Gerald Robinson's story reminds us of the importance of valuing every moment. A diagnosis of tongue cancer with multiple surgeries derailed his once peaceful life as a speaker. Now, as a speaker, he focuses on the hard earned lessons from his experiences.

    Presence and wise use of our time, Geralds explains is critical to a well lived life. "Time is eternal, but you are not," he states, emphasizing that while we all have the same 24 hours in a day, how we choose to spend that time is what truly matters.

    As he reflects on his journey, Gerald shares how his faith played a crucial role in his healing process. He learned to shift from questioning "why me?" to asking "what can I learn from this?" This mindset shift allowed him to find purpose in his struggles and ultimately led to a deeper understanding of joy.

    Whether you're facing your own challenges or simply looking for inspiration to make the most of your time, this episode is a must-listen. Gerald's story is not just about battling cancer; it's about embracing life, finding joy in the everyday, and recognizing the power of each moment.

  • Healing From The Unthinkable
    Dec 16 2025

    Kevin Hughes is the author of "SocioMom: My Story of Terror, Truth and Triumph.".

    Kevin grew up in a house of secrets, silence, and unspeakable abuse. Behind closed doors, his sociopathic mother wielded control with cruelty, manipulation, and terror, masking it all with charm to the outside world. For decades, Kevin buried the trauma deep inside, dissociating from his own memories and pain. It wasn't until a triggering incident in his late 40s that he began to confront his childhood and seek help.

    Kevin discusses the process of opening up memories and emotions that he had kept buried for decades. If there is a corollary to this story, it is that healing is always possible. It is a story that illustrates no matter what has happened in your life, you can not only overcome your wounds, but you can learn to live again.
