The Road Back Podcast: Conversations to Guide You Home


Life has a way of pulling us off course — trauma, expectations, burnout, and seasons where we forget who we are and why we're here. The Road Back Podcast is a podcast for people in seasons of transition—returning to their bodies, their voices, their dreams, and their belovedness.


Join hosts Melissa Runacres & Desiree Amariei, two trauma-informed emotional health coaches, as they share candid conversations about identity, faith, emotional wellbeing, personal growth, and even tools for navigating finances.


Expect practical wisdom, heartfelt storytelling, steps for rebuilding your life and reimagining your future, and moments that feel like sitting with friends over coffee—because you're not meant to walk this road alone.


New episodes every Wednesday starting August 27, 2025. Subscribe so you never miss your next step forward.

The discussion highlights the importance of reframing narratives, embracing generosity, and recognizing that life is happening for us, not to us. Through personal anecdotes and insights, our aim is to inspire listeners to adopt empowering beliefs that can lead to personal growth and emotional resilience.
