What does it really mean to heal from the legacy of broken relationships? Is healing a passive process, something that happens to us over time, or is it an intentional, active choice we make—one that requires courage, resilience, and faith?
In this transformative episode, Charvette Shirk Pitt—founder of M.E.N. (Men Embracing Non-Violence) and author of Healing the Fatherless: Valuing and Validating the Daughter You Have Always Been—shares her deeply personal journey as a fatherless daughter, inviting us to confront our past, break free from generational cycles, and embrace a future of healing and empowerment.
Her book has been praised for its transformative approach, introducing the HEALED framework—Honesty, Eagle-eyed, Adjustability, Limitlessness, Endurance, and Digging through the layers—a step-by-step guide to overcoming trauma and reclaiming self-worth.
But her mission doesn’t stop there. Through her work with M.E.N., Charvette creates safe spaces for male survivors of domestic violence, amplifying voices often left unheard. She is breaking barriers, advocating for healing, and empowering others to reclaim their lives.
Whether you’re seeking healing for yourself, supporting someone you love, or striving to leave a better world for future generations, this episode offers valuable insights, practical tools, and hope. Charvette’s story reminds us that healing isn’t just about moving on—it’s about moving forward with purpose, power, and grace.
