In this deeply vulnerable follow-up episode, we share a real story from a woman who courageously wrote in about surviving childhood abuse at the hands of a trusted family member. Her uncle never admitted what he did. He became sick. She hoped for an apology. It never came. He passed away without confession, without acknowledgment, without closure.

Now she is left holding the weight; struggling in motherhood, navigating the ruins of a failed marriage, and wrestling with God over questions that feel too heavy to ask out loud:

How do I heal when there is no apology?

What happens to his soul?

And how do I trust God again?

As a life coach, suicide prevention counselor, and pastor, we walk through the emotional, spiritual, and psychological layers of trauma, grief, justice, forgiveness, and divine accountability.

This episode is not just about abuse.

It’s about reclaiming your voice.

It’s about healing without validation.

It’s about trusting God with the justice we will never see.

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses childhood abuse and trauma.

If you’ve ever carried pain in silence, this one is for you.

Queens, your healing does not require their confession.

“She Grew Up… But the Pain Didn’t Leave” Some wounds don’t disappear with age - they just learn how to hide.

In this opening episode of Season 3, Pastor Osh speaks to the woman who grew up, built a life, and learned how to function… while quietly carrying the weight of unresolved childhood abuse. This is a compassionate, faith-centered conversation about how early trauma follows women into adulthood; shaping relationships, self-worth, boundaries, and emotional safety.

This episode is not about reliving the past.

It’s about naming what was never acknowledged, understanding how trauma shows up later in life, and creating space for healing without shame.

Speaking from her experience as a pastor, life coach, and suicide prevention counselor, Pastor Osh offers insight, language, and hope for women who were never given the tools to process what happened to them.

If you’ve ever wondered why certain patterns persist, why healing feels slow, or why pain still surfaces years later; this episode is for you.

Please listen with care. Pause when needed. You are safe here.

🎧 Healing begins with honesty.

This episode is not about hype; it’s about honor.

As we close out Season 2 of Parables for a Woman’s Heart, we pause to reflect on the stories, tears, prayers, and growth shared throughout this journey. This finale is a sacred moment for the woman who listened quietly, nodded in agreement, cried unexpectedly, or felt seen for the first time in a long time.

In this final episode, we speak to the woman who carried a lot this season; emotionally, spiritually, mentally; and kept going anyway. We talk about endurance, faith, healing, and the beauty of becoming, even when the process was uncomfortable.

This is not an ending filled with answers.

It’s an ending filled with gratitude, grace, and hope.

So many women are doing more than anyone realizes; and calling it normal.

In this episode of Parables for a Woman’s Heart, we speak directly to the woman who works, mothers, leads, builds, serves, creates, and still downplays her load. The woman who says “It’s nothing” when it’s actually heavy. The woman who keeps showing up while quietly carrying responsibility, pressure, and purpose.

This conversation is honest and unfiltered. We talk about the invisible labor women shoulder, the emotional cost of always being “the strong one,” and the subtle ways we shrink our reality in the name of humility. We explore the difference between true humility and self-erasure; and why acknowledging the weight you carry is not complaining, it’s stewardship.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, stretched thin, or unsure if you’re allowed to admit that this season is a lot, this episode is for you.

You are not “just” doing anything.

You are building legacy.

And it’s time to honor the weight you carry.

🎧 Listen in. Reflect. Breathe.

This one is for the women who never say how much they’re holding.

Marriage is beautiful, but it can also be refining, stretching, and painful in ways few people talk about.

In this powerful episode of Parables for a Woman’s Heart, Lenora and Pastor Osh have an honest, heart-level conversation about what it means to be a wife when the pressure is on. When love is real, faith is tested, and silence feels heavier than words, this episode speaks to the seasons of marriage that feel like fire.

We talk about:

• ​ Faith-tested moments in marriage
• ​ Praying through hurt and disappointment
• ​ Spiritual warfare behind closed doors
• ​ Carrying responsibility while feeling unseen
• ​ How God refines wives through pressure, not perfection

This is not a surface-level conversation.

It’s for the woman who is loving deeply, praying honestly, and standing, even when it’s hard.

If you’ve ever felt the heat in marriage but refused to quit, this episode is for you.

Press play and know: you are not alone in the fire and you are not coming out empty-handed. 🔥
