What happens when life looks successful on the outside, but something inside still feels incomplete?

On this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, Shemaiah Reed welcomes intuitive life coach and creator of Living Fully with Sarah, Sarah Collins. After spending more than 20 years working as a civil engineer, Sarah began questioning the constant pursuit of achievement, the pressure to reach the next milestone, and the belief that happiness was always somewhere in the future.

Sarah shares how mindfulness, self-inquiry, and a deeper exploration of identity helped her understand the thought patterns, beliefs, and conditioning that can keep people waiting for life instead of fully experiencing it.

Together, Shemaiah and Sarah explore awareness, overthinking, personal awakening, fear, inner wisdom, and what becomes possible when we stop searching outside ourselves for every answer.

This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck, out of alignment, or ready to look beneath the surface and begin living more fully, no matter what life brings.

Are You Really Living? Sarah Collins on Awakening, Self-Inquiry, and Finding Your Way Back

Author R.W. Fields joins I Am Refocused Radio to discuss his debut novel, The Mullet Man, a moving coming-of-age story inspired by events he experienced in the Deep South during the summer of 1955.

The story follows Richie, a young white boy whose love of fishing leads him across the social boundaries of his community and into an unlikely friendship with Ulysses, an elderly Black fisherman known as the Mullet Man. As their bond grows, Richie begins confronting the realities of racism, poverty, fear and the unwritten rules that were designed to keep people apart.

Fields reflects on the childhood experiences that remained with him for nearly 70 years, why he began writing his first book in his eighties, and how honest relationships can challenge prejudice more powerfully than arguments alone. The conversation also explores critical thinking, the courage to question inherited beliefs, and why the lessons of 1955 still matter today.

The Mullet Man is ultimately a story about friendship, trust and what can happen when two people choose to cross the creek dividing them.

The Mullet Man: A 70-Year Lesson on Race, Friendship and Courage | R.W. Fields

What if success, relationships and lasting happiness depend on understanding what is happening beneath the surface of our emotions?

In this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, Shemaiah Reed speaks with therapist and author Bryan Blakeny about emotional intelligence, spiritual growth, human behavior and the deeper search for meaning and purpose.

Drawing from more than two decades of counseling and coaching experience, Bryan shares how our thoughts, emotions and unresolved patterns influence the choices we make, the relationships we build and the lives we create. He also explores why outward success does not always produce inner fulfillment, how anger can reveal deeper emotional needs and what it takes to move from confusion and pain toward clarity, peace and personal transformation.

This thoughtful conversation invites listeners to examine what drives them, strengthen their emotional and spiritual intelligence and begin creating a life rooted in greater wisdom, purpose and authentic happiness.
