Maybe This Matters

Some moments change your life. Others leave you wondering why you're still here.

For Cain Kerner, there was a night when the weight of everything he had been carrying became too much. A night when he attempted to take his own life. And in the middle of that darkness, something happened that, to this day, he still cannot explain.

A Bible that had been sitting on his dresser somehow ended up beside him. He has no recollection of moving it.

Was it God? Was it coincidence? Cain doesn't pretend to know the answer.

But this conversation is about so much more than that night.

Because sometimes the battles we fight as adults began long before we had the words to describe them.

In this deeply personal conversation, Cain and I explore childhood abandonment, the lasting effects of trauma, mental health, sexual immorality, faith, emotional intelligence, and the complicated relationship between who we are, what we've experienced, and who we're trying to become.

Cain opens up about his suicide attempt, his experience inside a mental health facility, and the difficult realities of confronting the things we carry but rarely speak about.

We talk about the wounds that follow us into adulthood, the ways we search for belonging, the importance of understanding our emotions, and what it means to find faith when life has given you every reason to question it.

This isn't simply a conversation about surviving your darkest moment.

It's about everything that came before it, everything that followed, and the possibility that our stories are still being written, even when we believe they've reached their end.

Because maybe it does.

There is something beautiful about finding a person you can love deeply and tell absolutely everything to. Someone who makes an ordinary evening feel like the place you’ve spent your whole life trying to get to. Someone whose presence gives you room to exhale. 🤍

Bri & Lo join Geraldo on Maybe This Matters for “A Love That Heals,” a conversation about love, friendship, and the beauty of feeling at home with another person.

At the heart of this episode is a question: What becomes possible when we feel safe enough to be fully ourselves?

To be known beyond the easy parts. To have our smallest joys celebrated. To make room for growth, tenderness, and laughter along the way. To look at the person beside us and realize that the love of our life is also our best friend.

For anyone learning what love can look like, what they need within it, or what they hope to build with someone, there is room for you in this conversation.

Welcome to Maybe This Matters.

What happens when you start wanting more for yourself than the life you were taught to accept?

In Episode 26 of Maybe This Matters, I sit down with Cara Leigh Clinton for a conversation about breaking patterns, questioning inherited expectations, and giving ourselves permission to build a life that feels like our own.

We talk about parenthood, love, divorce, and mental health. About the relationships that shape us, the expectations we carry from our families, and what it means to want something different without having every step figured out.

Cara also shares her transition from Christianity to spirituality, making space for a conversation about faith, changing beliefs, and the questions that come with understanding what you believe for yourself. We explore her social media family, the community she has built online, and the connection that can grow when people feel seen in one another’s stories.

Through it all is a question so many of us are learning to answer: What do I want to carry forward, and what am I ready to change?

What happens when the kind of love you want to build is different from the love you grew up seeing?

Haley and MonDarius Black sit down with me for an honest conversation about love, marriage, partnership, and what it means to intentionally create something you may not have had a blueprint for.

We talk about learning each other, choosing each other through different seasons, communication, growth, grief expectations, parenting, and the work that comes with building a relationship that feels safe, healthy, and uniquely yours.

Because sometimes love is not about recreating what you saw growing up. Sometimes it is about having the courage to become the example you wish you had.

Maybe This Matters with Haley and MonDarius Black.

How much of your life can you spend trying to be chosen before you begin to choose yourself?

In Episode 24, Nakiah and I talk about the weight of rejection, the love that helped carry her, and what it means to stop measuring your worth by someone else’s acceptance. We also talk about motherhood, faith, and becoming the person you are when you no longer have to earn your place.

From being adopted and navigating belonging to growing up with vitiligo, we explore the experiences that shape how we see ourselves. We talk about the difference between confidence and self-love, and how much of a person’s story can remain unseen behind what they share online.

We also talk about the weight of grief, the pressure to keep showing up while hurting, and the mental and emotional impact of living with vitiligo. Through it all, we return to what taking care of yourself means beyond appearance, and why believing you’re worth that care matters.

Beating cancer is supposed to feel like the end of the story. But what happens when survival leaves you wondering who you are now?

In Episode 15 of Maybe This Matters, I sit down with breast cancer survivor Samantha Cheong for an honest conversation about identity, embodiment, and rebuilding your life after cancer.

Samantha shares what it was like getting married just before the world shut down, receiving a cancer diagnosis years later, and choosing to do a nude photoshoot before treatment so she could honor and remember her body as it was.

We talk about the parts of survival people rarely see: grieving the person you were, learning to trust your body again, being called strong while still trying to heal, and discovering that beating cancer does not automatically answer the question of what comes next.

From salsa and teaching Pilates to pursuing a new purpose in marriage and family therapy, Samantha’s story is about more than surviving. It is about reclaiming joy, redefining identity, and giving yourself permission to become someone new.

Maybe survival is not where the story ends. Maybe it is where the next question begins.

What does confidence actually look like?

Juani speaks candidly about the choices that shaped her life, the pain she carried in silence, and the God she found waiting for her on the other side.

Episode Description

This week on Maybe This Matters, I sit down with Dr. Zina Jacque for a conversation about identity, purpose, and the weight of becoming who you were meant to be.

From the pressure of being “the first” to the quiet moments that shaped her perspective on life, Dr. Jacque opens up about the people, experiences, and beliefs that taught her how much one life can truly impact others.

We talk about success, emotional survival, family, purpose, and the parts of ourselves we often abandon while trying to become everything for everyone else.

More than anything, this episode is about learning to fully step into who you are and understanding that your existence alone may already be changing someone else’s life.

Because maybe this matters.

In this episode of Maybe This Matters, Kristal Heredia opens up about the moments that shaped her long before the world saw her confidence.

From watching her family struggle financially, to carrying responsibility at a young age, to learning how to survive pressure, grief, expectations, and self-doubt, Kristal reflects on the emotional weight that forced her to grow faster than she was ready for.

This conversation is about resilience, femininity, ambition, family, heartbreak, confidence, and what it really means to keep going when life keeps asking more from you.

It’s honest. Emotional. Powerful.And maybe, it’ll remind you of the version of yourself you had to become too.

Who do you see when you look in the mirror?

In Episode 3, Jamison Lange opens up about the quiet battles most people never talk about — obsessing over appearance, struggling with self-worth, and placing too much value on how others see you.

But this conversation goes deeper than insecurity.

It’s about fear.
It’s about identity.
It’s about learning to face the parts of yourself you’ve been trying to avoid.

Jamison shares what it really means to be confident… not perfection, but ownership. Not having it all figured out, but choosing to show up anyway.

Because the truth is — everything you want in life lives on the other side of discomfort.

The only way out… is through.
