Healed and Still Healing

Podcasting Therapy

Welcome to Healed and Still Healing, a transformative journey of faith, reflection, and growth.


After much contemplation, I've decided to rebrand from The Diary of a Depressed Black Woman to embrace a new chapter in my life—one where I intertwine my mental health journey with the powerful truths of the Bible.


In this podcast, I’ll continue to share my experiences and the misconceptions I've battled, but now with the guidance and strength I find in my faith. God has become an integral part of my healing process, and I believe His wisdom can inspire others as well.


For those who are willing to embark on this journey with me, thank you for your patience and support as we explore healing together. Let's navigate the complexities of life, uplift one another, and discover the hope and freedom that comes from a heart rooted in faith in God.

YOUR GIRL IS RANTING TODAY!!


In this special Valentine's Day episode, I start a reflection on the Christian community's obsession with marriage. I will be challenging the narrative and advocating for a paradigm shift towards prioritizing individual fulfillment and spiritual growth.


I will be discussing the detrimental effects of this mindset on singles and the wider community. Drawing from personal experiences and cultural observations, I highlight the nuanced complexities surrounding marriage expectations and the damaging consequences of rushing into relationships for the sake of societal norms.


Tune into my heartfelt conversation as I invite you, my listeners, to reflect on your own beliefs and experiences. Whether single or partnered, Christian or non-Christian, this episode offers encouragement for all who seek to redefine the meaning of love, purpose, and fulfillment in their lives.

In this episode, we’ll be diving deep into the complexities of the struggle for validation. Building on my previous reflection of envy, I will discuss my personal journey of seeking praise from others and how it has often stemmed from feelings of inadequacy.


As per the theme of the show, we’ll contrast these experiences with Biblical teachings; highlighting verses from Luke and Galatians that emphasize the dangers of prioritizing human approval over God’s purpose. Through the story of King Saul, we’ll be witnessing the pitfalls of compromising one's identity and mission for the sake of pleasing others.


Today, I’ll be encouraging myself and all my listeners to shift our focus to God’s approval because there’s true fulfillment that comes from committing our ways to Him.


Let’s embark on this journey of healing together as we confront our feelings, seek truth, and lean on God for understanding. Tune in, and let's get started!

In this week's episode, I'll be discussing a deeply personal topic that has been constantly weighing on my mind: the concept of being a "good wife."

My personal GREAT CONSPIRACY THEORY!


In this episode, I will be opening up about a deeply ingrained belief that I hold about myself—the pervasive feeling of being a burden to others.


Despite reassurances from loved ones and my therapist, I constantly have to confront the persistent voice in my mind that tells me lies—a voice that insists that I am burdensome beyond measure. I am being forced to grapple with the contradictions between external affirmations of my value in the lives of those around me and my internalized belief of unworthiness.


I am inviting my listeners to reflect on their own deeply held beliefs and their impact on perception and behavior! I am encouraging y'all to challenge your own self-limiting beliefs and embrace the inherent worthiness of your existence. I hope by sharing this, my listeners feel a sense of solidarity and understanding; being reminded that we are not alone in our journey towards self-acceptance and healing.
