🎙️ Lions And Kings Lifestyle: The Podcast
This isn't a podcast for the polished — it's for the ones still bleeding, still building.
Hosted by Author and Creator Chris Barnes, Lions And Kings Lifestyle: The Podcast dives deep into the raw, real, and often overlooked corners of personal rebuild. This show is for the broken-hearted, the misfits, the burned-out leaders, and the quiet warriors who kept going when no one clapped.
We talk about pain, purpose, and what it means to rise from the ashes with grit, grace, and sacred responsibility. Expect no fluff — just unfiltered conversations, spiritual gut-checks, and battle-ready stories from those who’ve been through it and came back stronger.
This is where resilience lives.
Welcome to the tribe.

Chapter 43 - Clarified, Not Broken
This episode is about closing a year that changed everything.
Not with noise.
Not with explanations.
But with clarity.
This past year was not about being seen. It was about being stripped down. About learning how to be quiet when every instinct wanted to be loud. About humility, restraint, and facing yourself without flinching.
This is a reflection on a year of repair, rebuild, and restructure across every area of life. Marriage. Business. Identity. Relationships. The internal work nobody applauds.
It is about killing codependency. Letting go of validation. Breaking the addiction to approval. Learning how to be content when nobody claps and realizing you do not need them to.
After 43 years of conforming, performing, and becoming what others needed, this chapter marks the beginning of something different. Learning how to set yourself free. Slowly. Intentionally. Without theatrics.
This episode speaks on learning how to communicate instead of react. How to let dead things stay dead. How to stop breathing life into what only mattered for a moment and start protecting what matters for tomorrow.
It is also about carrying vision and heart in places that resist growth. About breaking free from small town mentalities, generational patterns, and systems built on staying small. About choosing expansion even when it costs comfort, familiarity, and belonging.
At the center of this episode is a realization that hits hard. Chapter 43. At best, halfway through the book. A moment of reckoning that forces you to look at how many years were spent trying to heal from things you were never taught and wounds you never asked for.
This is not about regret.
It is about ownership.
It is about alignment over applause. Direction over reaction. Becoming someone you respect when you are alone.
If this year felt quiet, heavy, or lonely, that does not mean you lost.
Sometimes silence is where the rebuild happens.
This episode is for anyone who feels like they disappeared this year when in reality they were being clarified.
Not broken.
Clarified.
