17 MAR 2026 · Discovering grace for the journey you didn’t plan but were chosen for.
In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and former colleague, Alicia Lafoucade, for a deeply personal and powerful conversation about motherhood, resilience, and redefining what strength truly looks like.
Years after raising her two older children, Alicia found herself surprisingly pregnant again. What followed was a journey she did not plan — but one she was chosen for. Her daughter Trinity was born with Down syndrome, and from that moment forward, life expanded in ways she could never have imagined.
This isn’t just a conversation about diagnosis.
It’s about identity.
It’s about courage.
It’s about challenging misconceptions.
It’s about seeing worth beyond labels.
As we acknowledge Down Syndrome Awareness, this episode invites us to move beyond awareness into understanding — and beyond sympathy into dignity.
We talk about fear, faith, family, advocacy, exhaustion, joy, and the grace it takes to walk a road you never mapped out.
Sometimes the journey you didn’t plan becomes the very place where your heart grows the most. https://www.ceejayhorrell.com

10 MAR 2026 · When Purpose Feels Unclear
Like many of you, I’ve been through some things. I’ve walked through seasons that forced me to confront myself—seasons that stretched me, broke me open, and required me to rebuild from the inside out. I fought hard to come out of those experiences functioning at a higher level than when I entered them. I re-evaluated and repositioned every relationship in my life. I did the inner work. I strengthened boundaries. I deepened my faith. I clarified my identity as an Image Bearer.
And now, with multiple creative initiatives in motion, new vision unfolding, and momentum building… I still find myself having many, many moments where I quietly think: “At times I feel a bit misplaced in the world and there are times when I just don’t know what to do with my life.” Not because I don’t know who I am. But knowing who you are doesn’t always automatically tell you what to build next. And when you’ve been through the fire… when life has shown you how fragile and temporary some pursuits really are… You don’t just want to build something exciting. You want to build something that lasts.
Today, I want to talk about Identity vs Direction — and what happens when purpose feels unclear, even though your identity is anchored.

13 JAN 2026 · In today’s episode, we’re exploring what it really means to live well, naturally—not through trends or pressure, but through clarity, intention, and care for the whole person.
I’m joined by my cousin, Dr. Michelle Knights, the founder of Vicelle Naturals. Michelle is a transformational leader, former university professor, TEDx speaker, and someone whose life’s work has been centred on helping people turn pain into resilience.
In this conversation, we talk about her journey, the birth of Vicelle Naturals, and what it looks like to reconnect with your body, strengthen your well-being, and build a lifestyle rooted in clarity, resilience, and self-care.
This isn’t just a conversation about products—it’s about people, purpose, and choosing to live well, naturally. https://www.ceejayhorrell.com

23 DEC 2025 · Well Being with Ceejay Horrell, Season Finale: Year-End Reflection, Christmas Encouragement, and New Year Reflection.
As I come to the close of this first season, I want to take a moment—not to rush past it, not to package it neatly—but to truly pause, because pauses matter.
Thank you for listening. Thank you for trusting me with your time. And thank you for being part of this journey. We’ll continue it together—very soon. https://www.ceejayhorrell.com

2 DEC 2025 · When life demands more than you ever thought you could carry, who do you become?
In this edition of Well Being with Ceejay Horrell, I sit down with someone whose resilience, honesty, and faith have shaped my own journey more than she even knows — nurse, mother, widow, entrepreneur, and author Nichole Valentine.
We explore the early years that shaped her, the realities of marrying young, becoming a caregiver at home and at work, navigating grief, raising a daughter as a single mother, and finding strength through calling, community, and God’s sovereignty.
We also dive into her new 5-week reflective group study guide, Sovereignty Uninterrupted, and the women in the lineage of Jesus who inspired it.
If you’ve ever felt stretched, overwhelmed, or unsure how to keep going when life keeps demanding more, this conversation will meet you right where you are — with honesty, hope, and a reminder that God’s steady hand never lets go. https://www.ceejayhorrell.com

11 NOV 2025 · Reading the Red, Yellow & Green Flags in Every Relationship
In today’s culture, especially online, we hear a lot about “red flags” — warnings about toxicity, manipulation, or unhealthy patterns. But relationships aren’t just romantic, and the signals we need to pay attention to aren’t always red. In this episode of Well Being with Ceejay Horrell, I explore the full spectrum of relational signals — green lights that show safety and trust, yellow lights that call for reflection and clarity, and red lights that signal danger or emotional harm.
I break down:
- Emotional, behavioural, and spiritual green flags
- Yellow flags that invite honest communication and boundaries
- Red flags that require courage, distance, or release
- How God’s Word becomes a lamp and a light for relational discernment (Psalm 119:105)
- Why discernment is not judgment — it’s stewardship of your peace, purpose, and emotional well-being
You’ll also hear a personal moment from my own journey, a spiritual reflection to help you see your relationships with fresh eyes, and a “Pause Point” to guide you into deeper discernment this week.
Plus, I share about Timeless Ties Legacy Projects — because your story matters, your life holds wisdom, and your legacy deserves to live on.
If you’re navigating loss, burnout, or relational confusion, or you’re longing for healthier connections, this episode will help you slow down, see clearly, and move wisely.

21 OCT 2025 · Healing and Hope for Men in Crisis.
When crisis, separation, or divorce turns life upside down, many men find themselves caught between silence and survival — struggling with identity, loneliness, and the weight of losing connection with their children. In this episode of Well Being with Ceejay Horrell, I’m joined by Bijan Rafii, Executive Director of the Canadian Centre for Men and Families in York Region. Together, we talk about what happens when the storm hits — how men can navigate emotional crisis, find their footing again, and rediscover healing and hope on the other side.

14 OCT 2025 · Redefining Strength, Joy, and Belonging
In this episode, I sit down with my friend and brother, Dr. Emmanuel Tabi — a scholar, artist, and educator whose work explores Black identity, community, and well-being through creativity and culture.
We have an open and honest conversation about what it really means to pursue wholeness as Black men living in Canada. Together, we talk about the pressure to always be strong, the hidden emotional costs of that expectation, and the quiet power of rest, joy, and belonging.
We explore how faith, purpose, and creative expression can become sacred pathways to healing — not just for us as individuals, but for the communities we serve and love.
This isn’t just a conversation about race or resilience — it’s about being seen, being human, and being well. https://www.ceejayhorrell.com

7 OCT 2025 · The Battle Isn’t Out There, It’s In Here.
Have you ever noticed how certain thought patterns keep you stuck in fear, anger, or shame? It’s almost like fingerprints left behind by a broken world that relentlessly tramples across our minds.
But there’s good news: our Creator invites us to break free from those patterns and experience real transformation through the renewing of our minds.
In this episode of Well Being with Ceejay Horrell, we explore why the battle is not “out there” but “in here” — in the way we think. I share my personal struggle with self-reward and rest, explain the difference between rest and reward, and walk through 10 common cognitive distortions with practical, biblical reframes that bring clarity and freedom.
You’ll discover how distorted thinking shapes your choices, how to uproot lies with truth, and how God’s Spirit prepares your mind for both present renewal and future wholeness.
Whether you’re wrestling with negative self-talk, struggling to show up for yourself, or longing for deeper peace, this episode will equip you with tools to anchor your thoughts in life-giving truth. https://www.ceejayhorrell.com

23 SEP 2025 · In today’s edition of the Pod my guest (Renee Weekes-Parris) experienced the sudden, tragic loss of her brother to suicide — a moment that changed everything.
Yet, through unimaginable pain, she found her way toward hope, healing, and even grace.
This conversation is not about answers or quick fixes. It’s about being real with the pain of grief, honouring the memory of a loved one, and discovering that even in darkness, light can find its way through.
If you or someone you love is walking through loss, I pray this episode reminds you that you are not alone, and that healing, while slow, is possible.
