Journey to Freedom Questionnaire

Are you ready to embark on a transformative journey towards healing your inner child? Join us as we welcome the insightful and experienced psychotherapist, Dr. Sophia Caudle, who seeks to unravel the powerful practices of reparenting and rescripting. As the founder of Original Grief, Dr. Caudle offers us a fresh perspective on how to process and heal memories linked to trauma, and how to nourish the wounded inner child that often carries the burden of these experiences. Through her wisdom, she guides us toward understanding how trauma during childhood often leads to internalized blame, and subsequently, feelings of self-doubt and shame.
Dr. Caudle further enlightens us into the intricate process of reparenting and rescripting, and how we can use these healing techniques to create a stronger sense of safety and connection. We explore practical tools, such as creating a relaxed state, using imagery, making recordings, and slow bilateral stimulation, to support our healing processes. Not forgetting the powerful role of healing symbols in rescripting, we delve into how these can be used in our journey toward self-healing. This discussion is not just about highlighting the struggle, but also about offering solutions and resources to face past traumas and foster healing. Tune in and open your heart to healing possibilities you may not have considered before.

Journey to Freedom Questionnaire

What does it look like when trauma, heartbreak, and faith collide? Today, I have the honor of hosting Le'Keshia Atchison, who is here to share her journey of transformation and the healing power of the Holy Spirit. Le'Keshia, also known as 'I Am Creative Words', opens up about a childhood tainted with sexual abuse, abandonment, and rejection, and how these tribulations took her down a path paved with brokenness. However, through the power of the Holy Spirit, she found solace and a way to turn her pain into blessings.
Suffering from disassociation, with the scars of narcissistic abuse still fresh, Le'Keshia’s story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit. She talks about her fight to overcome these challenges, and how, with the help of the Holy Spirit, she managed to break generational curses and discover her true identity. A spoken word artist and author, her experiences have led her to write a trilogy and two children's books in just one year. These books aren't just a reflection of her healing process; they are an inspiration to those who have faced similar traumas.
In the third chapter of our conversation, Le'Keshia reveals her upbringing in a family rife with witchcraft and her struggles with promiscuity. She shares how these experiences shaped her, leading her to join the Navy and continue her destructive behavior patterns. Opening up about her same-sex marriage, Le'Keshia tells how it played a key role in breaking free from these patterns. Throughout the conversation, she emphasizes the crucial role of self-awareness and taking responsibility for one's actions. In the end, you'll find yourself inspired by a woman who has turned her painful past into a beacon of hope for others. The story of Le'Keshia Atchison is a powerful testament to the transformative power of the Holy Spirit, and the potential within each of us to transform our brokenness into blessings.

Journey to Freedom Questionnaire

As we step into Women's History Month, I, Michelle Hall, embrace the raw and poignant stories that have sculpted our identities as women. With 'Broken to Blessed', we honor the magnitude of women's achievements and confront the sobering reality of childhood sexual abuse—a reality I know all too well. This episode is a tapestry of celebration and vulnerability, threading the powerful contributions of women in history with the personal narratives that often remain hidden. Through my lens as a Christian life coach and survivor, I offer a candid exploration of the evolving landscape of gender roles and the often challenging dance between society's expectations and the pursuit of self-empowerment.
Emboldening women to step out of the shadows and into the light of visibility, I extend a heartfelt invitation to our Journey to Freedom program. It's a sanctuary for growth and healing where women can foster a deeper sense of self and emerge as the authors of their own stories. My message is one of hope and transformation, urging listeners to pass along this episode as a beacon of support. Together, we traverse the intricate journey from feeling unseen to a place of presence and recognition. Join us, and be part of a collective movement that champions the voices of women and the sacredness of our shared experiences.
