In this powerful and heartfelt episode, host Mark Talukdar sits down with Francis Jones who is a therapist, speaker, and author of Heal and Grow. Francis shares his journey from radio and television to becoming a therapist, and how one life-changing moment led him to his true calling: helping people heal from the inside out.
This episode is all about healing, mental strength, and being your best self. Francis tells us that healing and growing never stop. It’s not a race or a finish line it’s a daily choice. Whether it’s healing your mind, your body, your emotions, or your spirit, there’s always anew step to take. Francis reminds us: when we grow, we help everyone around us grow too our families, our friends, even our communities.
Mark and Francis talk about how hard life can feel sometimes. We all face struggles. But instead of giving up, we can learn to push through. Francis shares stories from his work and his own life to show us how the struggle makes us stronger.
Francis also shares the difference between true healing and just covering things up. If you still feel uneasy or unhappy when you think about something painful, the healing isn’t done. But when you feel peace inside, that’s when healing is real.
He talks about how people expect healing to be quick or easy. But real healing takes time just like a broken arm needs time to mend. It might leave a scar, and that’s okay. Scars are signs that we’ve made it through.
The episode closes with Francis’s biggest message: keep growing. Even if life is hard, even if you feel stuck, even if you think you’re not broken there is always room to heal and grow. It’s not about being broken. It’s about being better.
