JOURNEY OF HOPEJourney of Hope With Rodney Mathers (218)Welcome!Throughout the time I've been doing this podcast, I've stayed away from looking backwards. Things like prison conditions, abusive guards, sentencing, and other topics related to being in prison are not the purpose of the podcast. I want to put prison behind me and move on with life in a way that proves I am worthy of the second chance I've been given. However, that 7 years and 11 months I did, is a reality that can not be denied. I think about it all the time. I think maybe I've been a little too harsh about st...2021-07-1635 min

I've looked at guests to interview and there are some experts in recovery with professional credentials that I may still try to interview. But ultimately, I decided to share some facts, look at the negative issues that arise from sex addiction, and share some resources for getting help. As we work to become productive citizens, we don't ne...2021-03-0109 minJOURNEY OF HOPEJourney of Hope With Rodney Mathers (214)Hello!I hope everyone is safe and warm. It has been a rough week here in the Houston area! Three has been record cold, ( 11 degrees a couple of nights ago), major power outages, water outages, and empty grocery store shelves. All of this is on top of Covid. Wow! My heart goes out to people walking out of prison into this mess because while freedom feels great, there is a reality here that can make getting restarted even tougher. My guest this week, Lois Hollis will help us to address some the emotions we feel while getting ourselves goin...2021-02-2027 minJOURNEY OF HOPEJourney of Hope With Rodney Mathers (213)Hello Everyone!I came across a really good article on overcoming adversity I wanted to share. Overcoming adversity is a topic this podcast will always put front and center. Ultimately, that's what getting out of prison and successfully getting what cased that to happen in our rear view window. How do we get from prison and the action that resulted in prison turned into an experience we can use to propel us forward into a clean life we can be proud of? That's what overcoming our adversity is. Hopefully there is something in this week's podcast that helps you on...2021-02-0115 minJOURNEY OF HOPEJourney of Hope With Rodney Mathers (212)Hello and Happy New Year!Hello everyone! I hope this year brings wonderful things to you! I wanted to spend some time talking about the National Institute of Corrections. The National Institute of Corrections is an arm of the Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Prisons. I'm sure they do great work...except for issues of reintegration. Inconsistent data and kicking the can down the road are immediately apparent when it comes to this government agency caring about what happens to people when they leave prison. Their general philosophy, appears to me, to pass the buck to a...2021-01-1819 minJOURNEY OF HOPEJourney of Hope With Rodney Mathers (211)Hey there!My guest on this episode is Dr. Aimee Harris Newon.

Occasionally I'll find myself ruminating about whatever issue has popped up (as issues do) and it keeps me from getting any sleep. We've all been there. Reintegrating into society is alone enough to cause the kind of anxiety that results in restless nights let alone all the other pressures of life. My guest today, Sondra Kornblatt, has a rather unique way of approaching these nights and I hope by listening to her you can find a way to ge...2020-08-1222 minJOURNEY OF HOPEJourney of Hope With Rodney Mathers (206)Hello !My guest today, Rhonda Farrah, is said to have many years experience as an educational counselor and psychotherapist.

Transitioning from incarceration to the real world is challenging enough without this bizarre Covid 19 curve ball. Let's keep moving forward!Sometimes, problems we experience can have their roots in our childhood. If we can find the trauma, we can address it and work through it. My guest this week is retired psychiatrist Anne Redelfs. Anne has very important information for us to consider regarding past trauma and the way that trauma, when left unaddressed, can affect us in adulthood.2020-06-2821 minJOURNEY OF HOPEJourney of Hope With Rodney Mathers (203)Welcome,Despite this bizarre time, we still need to pay our bills and buy groceries. In fact, there are ex-offenders that were in the middle of a job search when this all began. So, I thought we could talk a little about job searches on this episode. Covid-19 and the riots don't stop our lives! We have to keep moving forward. I found a great site that has some very good job related information for ex-offenders. The site is called Career One Stop. The site is sponsored by the United States Department of Labor. On this epi...2020-06-0113 minJOURNEY OF HOPEJourney of Hope With Rodney Mathers (202)Hello!I hope everyone is staying safe.
