On this powerful episode of The Heart Helper, I sit down with award-winning media personality and now author Christina Dias for a conversation about faith, determination, and boldly pursuing your destiny.

Originally from Kansas City, Missouri, Christina made the life-changing decision 13 years ago to move to Atlanta because she knew her dreams were bigger than her hometown. She chose faith over fear — and she’s been moving that way ever since.

From working on Tyler Perry sets, hosting major events, managing brands and artists, to now becoming the author of Look What a Year Can Do, Christina embodies what it means to be not just a dreamer, but a doer.

In this episode, we discuss:
• Moving with determination when the vision feels bigger than you
• Trusting God’s calling on your life
• Pursuing your dreams unapologetically
• Manifesting what’s already been placed in your mind

If God is in you, who can be against you?

This conversation is your reminder that it’s time to stop sitting on the vision and start walking in it. The ideas, the calling, the purpose — they were given to you for a reason.

It’s time to manifest what’s already within you.

In this episode of The Heart Helper Podcast, artist Rico Flash opens his heart and shares a truth many men live with, but rarely name — having a father in the home, yet lacking emotional presence and guidance.

What began as a vulnerable social media post about the absence of fatherly support unexpectedly went viral, as men across the world reached out to say, “I feel this too.” Through his honesty, Rico created space for others to acknowledge their own wounds, reminding us that healing often begins when one person is brave enough to tell the truth.

This conversation is not about blame, but about becoming. Rico reflects on what it means to seek guidance from God when earthly guidance feels incomplete, how intimacy with God reshapes the heart of a man, and why starting each day at God’s feet allows us to walk more firmly in faith.

Rico also shares the heart behind his latest EP, Polaroid, and how music has become a vessel for processing memory, emotion, and healing — capturing moments of love, growth, pain, and transformation through sound.

At its core, this episode is a sacred reminder: men carry deep feelings too, and vulnerability is not weakness — it is the doorway to connection, brotherhood, and healing. When one man speaks, many hearts are freed.
