    Send a text The Peace & Prosperity Podcast is a bi-weekly conversation with Dr. Jason Phillips, LCSW, licensed therapist and confidence expert in Raleigh, NC, discussing all things related to self-love and self-confidence, and how we can improve ourselves personally and professionally. In this episode, Detroit therapist Joseph Barksdale joins the podcast to discuss why so many men—especially Black men—struggle to trust therapy.

Joseph also explains why addiction is often a symptom of deeper wounds like grief, shame, and unresolved trauma. This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing often begins with trust, honesty, and the courage to name what’s really going on.  Plus, remember to join our podcast community—like, share, subscribe, and let us know what topics you want us to cover next.

    From Grind to Grace: Building Love Without Losing Yourself with Cliff aka Clipperman - Episode #97

    Send a text The Peace & Prosperity Podcast is a bi-weekly conversation with Jason Phillips, LCSW, licensed therapist and confidence expert in Raleigh, NC, discussing all things related to self-love and self-confidence, and how we can improve ourselves personally and professionally. A bold question at a Georgia club—“Which one of y’all like me?”—sparked a love story rooted in faith, purpose, and self-work. In this episode, we unpack heartbreak, healing, and how confidence grows from clarity. From Detroit roots to comedy grind, we explore what it means to “know” your person—not by checklist, but by alignment. Think of love as a pyramid: God at the top, you and your partner climbing your own sides through gratitude, boundaries, and inner peace. When you can source joy within, you stop chasing it through people or applause. If you’re navigating faith, love, or self-growth, this conversation will help you find peace, prepare with purpose, and recognize real alignment when it arrives.

    Beyond the Hustle: When Success Covers Unhealed Pain with Isaiah Pettway - Episode #96

    Send a text The Peace & Prosperity Podcast is a bi-weekly conversation with Jason Phillips, LCSW, licensed therapist and confidence expert in Raleigh, NC, discussing all things related to self-love and self-confidence, and how we can improve ourselves personally and professionally. What if the drive to be “the best” is really a shield for unhealed pain? In this episode, we explore how achievement can become armor—hiding grief, loss, and the pressure to stay stoic. From surviving without safe spaces to finally seeking therapy after a breaking point, this conversation sheds light on the quiet struggles many high-achieving Black men face. We talk about how hypermasculinity, lack of confidentiality in public spaces, and cultural stigma keep men from getting help—and how reframing therapy as strength changes everything. Faith plays a key role here too: trusting that God can work through therapists just as He does through doctors. You’ll also hear about the “safety bubble,” a family ritual for emotional honesty, and practical ways to create space for healing at home. This is a real conversation about courage, clarity, and what it means to finally set the armor down.
