Rachel sits down with JR Harvey, who shares how Kings Community was born out of his own pain and insecurity. Throughout the conversation, they reflect on how much confusion and pain comes from never being shown what healthy purpose, love, or leadership looks like in real life.

Together, Rachel and JR unpack how doubt slowly becomes identity, how shame takes root, and why real healing begins at the roots rather than by trying to fix surface behavior.

This conversation also explores:

• Why purpose is often found through pain
• The danger of tying identity to roles, careers, or relationships
• How community interrupts isolation
• Why healing men also lifts women
• And why men and women need each other

This episode is especially meaningful for anyone who cares about mental health, leadership, relationships, and breaking generational patterns.

✨ This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation.
Be sure to come back next week for the continuation of this honest, healing dialogue.

JR Harvey is the founder and leader of Kings Community, a thriving online brotherhood dedicated to helping men rebuild their confidence, leadership, and emotional resilience after life’s toughest challenges. Through mentorship, community support, and candid discussions about mental health, authentic masculinity, relationships, and personal growth, he has created a space where men can move past survival strategies and step into purposeful, values-driven lives.

Under his leadership, Kings Community has grown into a meaningful network of tens of thousands of men who seek to break free from outdated coping patterns, embrace accountability, and support one another in becoming stronger, more confident, and emotionally grounded versions of themselves.

He shares personal insights and lessons publicly through social platforms like Instagram (@kings__community) and in interviews and podcasts, where he speaks openly about overcoming adversity, redefining strength, and helping men lead with integrity both in their relationships and in their own lives.
