Trauma. It’s a heavy word, and it hits differently for everyone.
For me, losing my dad at just 10 years old during a home invasion left a wound that ran deep. That pain held onto me for a long time, and letting go wasn’t easy. But through it all, I’ve discovered something life-changing: God meets us even in the darkest places.
The hardest seasons? They’re part of a bigger story He’s writing. 🌑➡️🌟

In this episode, I open up about the trauma that shaped my childhood and faith — and how healing has looked messy, real, and holy. This is for anyone who feels like their past still has a grip on them. You’re not alone. And the pain? It doesn’t get the final say. 💯❤️

What We Talk About in This Episode:

🖤 When trauma shows up unexpectedly — and how we pretend we’re “okay” while silently breaking inside
🙏 Faith while you’re still bleeding — what it looks like to pray through the pain
🗣️ Generational silence — and why telling the truth can be a form of freedom
🌱 Healing as a process — not perfect, not linear, but absolutely possible
✨ Victory in the wreckage — because God didn’t let the pain win

My anchor verse through it all?
Philippians 4:13 (KJV):

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." 💪✝️

If this resonates, grab a journal, take a deep breath, and know this: healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone. 💖🤝
This is just Part 1. Let’s take this journey together.
