About this listen

The Road Back Podcast: Conversations to Guide You Home


Life has a way of pulling us off course — trauma, expectations, burnout, and seasons where we forget who we are and why we're here. The Road Back Podcast is a podcast for people in seasons of transition—returning to their bodies, their voices, their dreams, and their belovedness.


Join hosts Melissa Runacres & Desiree Amariei, two trauma-informed emotional health coaches, as they share candid conversations about identity, faith, emotional wellbeing, personal growth, and even tools for navigating finances.


Expect practical wisdom, heartfelt storytelling, steps for rebuilding your life and reimagining your future, and moments that feel like sitting with friends over coffee—because you're not meant to walk this road alone.


New episodes every Wednesday starting August 27, 2025. Subscribe so you never miss your next step forward.

    In our Season One finale, we celebrate ten episodes and look ahead to our Camino de Santiago pilgrimage. (Season 2 begins November 19, 2025.)

    We share stories from past journeys, explore themes of trust, growth, and community, and remember: the road back is not about finding something outside of ourselves, but rediscovering the truth that everything we need for healing is already within.

    Dez also announces her 12-week 2026 mentorship for coaches. Check out the details here:

  • #8 – Building Blocks to Dreams, Pt. 1 – Clarity & Trust
    Oct 15 2025

    Got a comment or feedback? Send us a text!

    What if the desires in your heart weren’t random—but actual guidance toward your purpose? In Part 1 of our Building Blocks to Dreams conversation, we’re talking about the foundations of pursuing what you long for: clarity, understanding desires are guidance, and releasing the pressure of figuring out “the how.”

    Join us as we share stories of how our dreams began to take shape when we stopped shrinking back and started believing they were pointing us somewhere intentional.
