Kaedy Kiely: Finding Her Voice Beyond Cancer

Season 1 · Episode 4

Wednesday, October 22, 2025 • Duration 32:07

Radio icon Kaedy Kiely has spent decades connecting with Atlanta listeners — but nothing prepared her for the moment she found a lump in the shower and heard the words, “It’s cancer.” In this candid conversation, Katie shares her unexpected breast cancer diagnosis, the shock and humor that carried her through treatment, and the strength she found in faith, community, and even a wig she lovingly named “Bridget.” From vulnerability on-air to resilience in the chemo chair, Katie’s story is both deeply personal and universally inspiring — a reminder that survival is not just possible, but transformative.

Parenting Through the Unknown: Patrick Powell’s Journey with Medically Fragile Children

Season 1 · Episode 3

Wednesday, October 15, 2025 • Duration 40:01

Parenting comes with countless unknowns — but for Patrick Powell, father of two medically fragile daughters, those unknowns are magnified by the absence of a clear diagnosis. In this candid conversation, Patrick shares the joys and challenges of raising children with special needs, the strain and resilience it brings to family life, and how moments of compassion — from Disney’s Make-A-Wish trip to everyday acts of kindness — reshape what it means to belong. As a Senior Development Officer at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Foundation, Patrick also brings perspective on the support networks families need and deserve.

From Victim to Victor: Dr. John A. King on Trauma, Resilience, and Advocacy

Season 1 · Episode 2

Wednesday, October 8, 2025 • Duration 30:34

In this powerful episode of Facing Inward, Melissa Carter speaks with Dr. John A. King—author, poet, TEDx speaker, and trauma recovery advocate—about his journey from childhood abuse to becoming a leader in resilience and identity restoration. Together, they discuss the high-profile cases of Jeffrey Epstein, Peter Nygard, and Sean “Diddy” Combs—not to sensationalize them, but to spotlight the often-overlooked voices of survivors. Dr. King explains why healing requires redefining identity, building tools to face inevitable triggers, and empowering both children and adults to protect themselves. He also introduces the Phoenix Collective, his initiative providing long-term, structured support for trauma recovery.
