What I Know Now is not a lesson…. it’s a testimony.

In this episode, I tell the truth about who I was before healing, what pain taught me, and how God turned my deepest wounds into purpose. I speak honestly about surviving instead of living, loving from emptiness, staying where I knew better, and finally choosing myself without guilt.

This episode walks through childhood wounds, family patterns, unsafe relationships, therapy, boundaries, singleness, faith, and the quiet strength it takes to rebuild yourself from the inside out. It’s about losing people while healing, finding your voice after silence, and learning what real love looks like when God is at the center.

There are no filters here.

No rushed healing.

No pretending it didn’t hurt.

This is for anyone who has ever questioned their worth, stayed too long, loved too hard, or felt like they disappeared inside their own life. It’s for the woman who survived seasons she wasn’t prepared for — and still found her way back to herself.

Contrary to popular belief… healing isn’t pretty.

But it is holy.

And it is possible.

Before there was fruit, there was surrender.

In this episode, I’m taking you back to the moment everything shifted. The moment I stopped running, stopped numbing, and finally surrendered to God for real.

What started as a whisper became a full transformation. Through obedience, honesty, and some painful pruning, I learned that surrender isn’t weakness, it’s the start of freedom.

This is my story of becoming. Of laying down what once comforted me to pick up what was calling me. From breaking old habits to building a deeper relationship with God, this episode is the truth behind my growth, my peace, and my faith.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re being stripped just to be planted, this one’s for you. Because your breaking wasn’t the end. It was the beginning of something sacred.

This week, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to protect your peace without losing your softness. I talk about the version of me that stayed silent to keep others comfortable, the lessons I learned from heartbreak, and how I went from people-pleasing to setting boundaries without guilt. This isn’t about becoming cold, it’s about reclaiming your warmth and refusing to let it be used against you.

If you’ve ever struggled with honoring yourself after a lifetime of overextending, this episode is your reminder: you can be soft and still stand your ground.
