Explore every episode of the podcast Healing Out Loud

In Episode 2 of Healing Out Loud, Isha Reed explores what it means to know who you are and remain true to yourself when people misunderstand, reject, criticize, or try to define you.

Isha shares lessons about correction versus condemnation, setting healthy boundaries, releasing the need for approval, and refusing to let another person’s hatred change your heart. She also reads a powerful passage from her newly published book, Healing Out Loud, about becoming fully present in her life after years of using relationships, substances, work, and distractions to escape herself.

This episode is a reminder that you are not your mistakes, your hardest season, or the worst thing someone has said about you. You can remain accountable, protect your peace, trust who God says you are, and continue becoming—without shrinking or becoming bitter.

In Episode 1 of Healing Out Loud, Isha Reed shares her honest experience with depression while continuing to work, serve in church, encourage others, and appear strong on the outside.

She explores what depression can really look like, the ways people sometimes use busyness, relationships, alcohol, and service to avoid facing their pain, and why true healing begins with honesty and accountability.

This episode is a reminder that you don’t have to be completely healed before you begin living, creating, serving, and walking in your purpose. You can still hurt and have purpose. You can tell the truth about where you are without being ashamed—because healing doesn’t have to be quiet.

Healing Out Loud is a space for real, courageous conversations about mental health, recovery, grief, relationships, sex, faith, God, mistakes, growth, and everything that happens when you decide your past does not get the final word.

Hosted by Isha Reed—a Peer Support Specialist, community advocate, founder of EPIC, and woman with lived experience—this podcast makes room for the truths people are often ashamed or afraid to say. Isha is still writing her story and still healing, too. She does not come with all the answers; she comes ready to tell the truth.

Because healing is not always quiet. Sometimes, healing gets loud.
