Top 5% Globally Ranked Podcast for Christian Women Healing from Emotional Trauma Have you ever felt like your past disqualified you from purpose? Are you smiling on the outside, but silently suffocating under shame, rejection, or unhealed trauma?

This podcast will help you heal from trauma, break free from shame, and rediscover your identity in Christ, giving you the clarity and confidence to walk in purpose. I am Shakera, widowed mother of two, Best-Selling Author, Transformation Speaker, and Christian Life Coach. For 14 years, I carried the weight of shame from childhood trauma and deep personal loss.

I went on a healing journey to face my truth and recover what trauma tried to steal. I developed spiritually, emotionally, and intentionally so I could show up confidently and build a Kingdom legacy. Now, I’m ready to help you heal, grow, and glow… If your heart is craving a clear, faith-filled roadmap from Broken 2 Whole — made for the Christian woman who refuses to stay stuck… ✨ To recover what trauma tried to steal… ✨ To reclaim your voice and God-given identity… ✨ To renew your faith, mind, and emotions… ✨ To rise boldly into the woman He created you to be… This podcast is for you!

Confidence isn’t built by doing more—it’s cultivated by healing who you believe you are. In this episode of the Identify You Podcast, we explore why shaky confidence is often an identity wound, not a discipline issue, and how healing identity at the root leads to lasting confidence in Christ.

Using Ephesians 2:10, we explore what it truly means to be God’s workmanship and how trauma, rejection, and aband...

Just because you’re confident doesn’t mean you won’t be tempted to strive.

In this heart-check episode, I’m sharing how big callings can stir up pressure, urgency, and overthinking—even when you know you’re walking with God. If you’ve ever felt like you need to “hurry up” or do more to prove you’re worthy of the assignment, this one’s for you.

Let’s talk about what it really looks like to t...

You’re not crazy—you did hear God. But sometimes, clarity unfolds in the quiet.

In this reflective episode, I’m sharing how God first called me in 2016—from college graduation into teaching—and how that one moment, though it didn’t make sense at the time, became the foundation for everything I’m walking in today.

Sometimes vision isn’t loud. It doesn’t always come with flashing lights or a ...

    Obedience isn’t God trying to control you—it’s His invitation to trust, grow, and live fully in the purpose He designed for you.

    In this heart-to-heart, I’m helping you reframe obedience from a place of partnership, not punishment. You’ll see how God uses every “yes” to build your character, clarify your path, and protect you from what you can’t yet see.

    In this visionary close to the Legacy Series, I’m helping you answer the question most women avoid: What will outlive me? This isn’t about titles or timelines—it’s about trusting God enough to walk boldly in the assignment He gave you, not the one you felt pressured to perform.

    What if silence isn’t abandonment—it’s refinement?

    In this intimate episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really feels like to walk with God when Heaven seems quiet. You’ll hear how I navigated a hidden season that stripped me of striving, rebuilt my trust in God’s character, and revealed the truth: legacy isn’t loud—it’s faithful.

    Sometimes God is silent—not because He’s absent, but because He’s working.

    In this tender and timely episode, I’m unpacking what it means to find gratitude in the quiet. When emotional pain lingers and answers don’t come quickly, it’s easy to feel forgotten. But what if the silence is where purpose is being formed?

    Shame says, “You don’t deserve to be thankful.” But gratitude? It silences that lie.

    In this healing episode, I’m diving into how gratitude becomes a weapon when shame tries to steal your joy, your voice, and your confidence. If you’ve been battling emotional pain, silent shame, or self-doubt—even while trying to trust God—this is your moment to reclaim peace.
