I never thought I'd be able to celebrate my birthday joyfully again after the trauma I endured shortly after turning 18. This episode, I share my journey of reclaiming my voice and personal power, exploring how honesty and self-awareness have become my guiding lights. From challenging past experiences to setting boundaries and understanding self-worth, I reveal the raw and vulnerable moments that have shaped my path to healing and self-acceptance.
Our conversation also takes a heartfelt look at the complexities of love and relationships. Meeting my husband through a dating app at 21, I found myself navigating skepticism and self-doubt, colored by the shadows of previous emotional scars. Together, we faced family issues and the fear of repeating past mistakes, all while holding onto our values and vision for a committed future. This part of our story highlights the humor and authenticity that underscore our journey toward self-discovery and genuine connection.
Finally, the episode addresses the profound impact of personal and professional challenges on mental health and spiritual growth. I recount my experiences with PCOS, surgeries, and the choice to not have children, alongside the societal perceptions of weight loss surgery. Balancing my role in ministry with workplace challenges, I share the emotional toll and eventual empowerment that came from confronting these hurdles. This narrative is a testament to the importance of mental health awareness, open conversations, and the power of seeking support on the path to personal growth.
