On this episode of The CJ Moneyway Show, CJ sits down with Dr. Kirsten Viola Harrison, a trauma psychologist with more than 25 years of experience helping people rebuild after profound psychological, emotional, and spiritual challenges. Dr. Harrison has taught and trained at institutions including UCLA, Georgetown University, and Pepperdine University, but her work extends far beyond the classroom. Her approach focuses on the deeply human side of trauma recovery — how individuals reclaim identity, dignity, and purpose after systems and circumstances push them to the edge. Her newest book, co-written with Seana Smith, tells the lived journey of an intersex woman navigating homelessness, schizophrenia, and the complex systems meant to provide care but often create further harm. In this powerful conversation, we explore: • What trauma really does to identity and self-worth • The difference between surviving and truly healing • Why systems designed to help often fail the most vulnerable • The psychological path from crisis to transformation • Faith, resilience, and rebuilding the human spirit • What leaders and entrepreneurs can learn from trauma recovery This episode is a deep and necessary conversation about human dignity, healing, and the courage it takes to rebuild life after devastation. ⸻ PODCAST SHOW LINKS Listen to The CJ Moneyway Show https://pod.link/1707761906 Official Website https://cjmoneyway.com Book CJ Moneyway / Podcast Guest Booking https://calendly.com/cj-cjmoneywayshow/60min ⸻ CJ MONEYWAY EXCLUSIVE BENEFIT High performers protect both their mental clarity and physical health.

Powered by CJ Moneyway Entertainment and Bleav Network One of the biggest problems we face in today’s world is that technology is advancing faster than our ability to apply it with real human purpose. Innovation should solve problems. Not just create noise. On this episode of The CJ Moneyway Show, CJ sits down with Dr. Rob Yonover, a PhD volcanologist, Shark Tank entrepreneur, explorer, and inventor whose work has literally helped save lives. Dr. Yonover is the creator of the SeeRescueStreamer, a revolutionary survival signaling tool now used by astronauts, the U.S. military, and rescue teams worldwide. But his journey didn’t start in a lab. It started with curiosity, adventure, and a willingness to go where most people wouldn’t — including 2-mile-deep ocean dives in the Galápagos. This conversation explores how innovation happens when courage, science, and real-world problem solving collide. In this episode we discuss: • Why innovation must solve real-world problems • The science behind the SeeRescueStreamer survival technology • What it takes to turn ideas into life-saving inventions • Lessons from Shark Tank and entrepreneurship • The mindset required to push past fear and uncertainty • Why exploration and curiosity still drive the greatest breakthroughs This is a conversation about innovation, resilience, and building solutions that actually make the world better.

What a powerful conversation. Dr. John Bukowski reminds us that reinvention doesn’t require permission — it requires courage. From public health and veterinary medicine to writing psychological thrillers like Project Suicide and Checkout Time, his journey proves that it’s never too late to pivot, pursue passion, and build something new. Science gave him structure. Storytelling gave him voice. And both require discipline. If this episode challenged you to rethink your own path — share it with someone who needs that reminder.

Welcome to The CJ Moneyway Sh$w — powered by CJ Moneyway Entertainment and Bleav Network, where purpose is the blueprint and legacy is the goal. Today’s conversation isn’t your usual motivational talk. It’s deeper. It’s transformational. It challenges everything you thought you knew about spirituality, identity, and personal power. Our guest is Reginald D, a speaker, host of Real Talk With Reginald D, and creator who navigates the tension between religious conditioning, mental health, and personal identity. Reginald’s journey didn’t begin in peace or clarity. It began in depression, religious conflict, and “inherited scripts” — the unexamined beliefs we all carry without realizing it. One defining moment, while preparing for a talk, shifted his trajectory: he stumbled into science — not to replace faith, but to illuminate it. In this conversation, CJ and Reginald explore: How religious programming impacts mental health and selfhood Why unlearning inherited belief systems is a form of liberation Where faith intersects with psychology, neuroscience, and lived experience How to reframe spiritual identity without losing connection to God What it means to walk in power that transcends fear, judgment, and self‑doubt If you’ve ever questioned what you were taught about God, self‑worth, or identity — this episode will stretch your ideas, challenge your assumptions, and help you reclaim your voice.
