In this powerful and deeply moving episode, I talk with Demeka Vines, a courageous woman who knows the true weight of unspoken pain.

After losing her sister to suicide and shortly after, her brother-in-law Demeka was left navigating through unbearable grief, unanswered questions, and wounds that no one could see. But it was in the silence, in the stillness, and in the darkness that she began to discover a truth so many of us run from:

👉🏽 You cannot heal what you’re afraid to name.

Demeka takes us on her journey of learning to acknowledge the hidden wounds the heartbreak, the shame, the guilt, and the generational trauma and how choosing to confront her pain led her into a place of healing, purpose, and peace.

This episode is for:
đź’” The woman silently grieving
💭 The person carrying wounds they’ve never spoken aloud
🙌🏽 The soul ready to break generational cycles through truth and faith

🎧 Tune in and allow this conversation to remind you that your healing starts the moment you decide to face it.
*Remember, my podcast is not scripted. I am in the projects, working on my projects, trying to make it out of the projects. This is a safe place where you feel free and open. What you hear is what you receive. We don’t hide who we are. We are real, we are living, and we are just being the humans that God called us to be. We are not always perfect, but we continue to strive for perfection.
