The Hearts Hello

Have you ever looked up and realized you're simply going through the motions? Showing up, checking boxes, smiling on cue—while feeling completely hollow inside? You're not lazy, ungrateful, or broken. You're human.
Today's episode emerges from a deeply personal place. For the first time in nearly two years of consistent weekly podcasting, I missed an episode. The reason was simple yet profound: I didn't have it in me to pour out. This moment of recognition wasn't a failure but a powerful awakening to the fact that I'd been caught in the cycle of mechanical productivity without honoring my own needs and season.
We dive into why we fall into these patterns—survival mode, burnout, unprocessed grief, or the belief that our value comes from doing rather than being. More importantly, we explore the path back to alignment: pausing to check in with yourself, honestly assessing what you need, giving yourself permission to feel and rest, and reconnecting with your purpose rather than your title. For me, this meant acknowledging that in my current season, I need support around me—people who can run alongside me, see me, and hold me accountable.
The invitation is clear: give yourself permission to stop performing and start living. Choose momentum—real, messy, intentional momentum toward your authentic self. One small aligned action today can begin shifting you from hollow motions to meaningful momentum. Are you ready to walk this journey together? Because the awareness you're feeling right now isn't weakness—it's your power awakening.

Did you Ever feel like life had you on the ropes and just needed a sign to keep going? Join me, Keona Talana, on this heartfelt episode of the Hearts Hello Show as I share a profoundly personal moment that reignited my faith and sense of direction. Picture this: feeling lost and heavy with life's burdens, I ventured to my favorite waterside retreat, only to stumble upon a car with a license plate reading "Second Wind." This serendipitous encounter was the spark I needed to realize that even in our darkest moments, a higher power guides us toward new beginnings.
Through candid reflections on my recent job loss, the emotional turbulence of a divorce, and the daunting task of re-entering the dating world, I explore the idea of a "second wind"—a season of renewal and strength. This episode is a testament to the resilience and the belief that closed doors are just preludes to more significant opportunities. Join me for an inspiring conversation to help you embrace your second wind with renewed confidence and optimism, knowing that support and guidance are always within reach.

Have you ever stood on the precipice of change, your heart pounding with equal parts terror and excitement? That's where I found myself, teetering between the safety of the known and the thrilling promise of the unknown. In this powerful episode, we confront the transformative magic that happens when we dare to leap—particularly in a leap year. You'll join me as I pull from my own journey and the wisdom of others to shed light on the courage it takes to step beyond our comfort zones, whether that means pursuing a new career, moving cities, or evolving within our relationships. Together, we explore the boundless possibilities that risk-taking unveils, and the personal development awaiting us on the other side of fear.
We take inspiration from biblically profound figures like Solomon and David, and with our LEAP framework—Learn, Evaluate, Act, Persevere—we devise a battle plan for facing life's Goliaths. This isn't a solo mission; it's an invitation to collectively rise to the challenges before us, to voice our opinions on pressing matters, and commit to the hard work of personal growth for the betterment of all. I'll guide you through the importance of shedding past habits to embrace new opportunities, and the collective effort needed to climb the mountains of change. Prepare to be emboldened to show up as the best version of yourself, and to join a community committed to spreading love and learning from each other's leaps of faith.
