A Journey of Healing, Reconnection, and Breaking Generational Cycles | Shawnti Refuge Interview
In this powerful and emotional interview, Shawnti Refuge opens up about her inspiring journey through mental health challenges, personal healing, and the road to reconnection with her children.
After experiencing a life-altering nervous breakdown in 2018, Shawnti sought the help she needed—setting her on a path of self-discovery, growth, and transformation. She shares candidly about her childhood trauma, the deep scars it left, and her commitment to ending the cycle of generational pain within her family.
For years, Shawnti was estranged from her daughters—completely disconnected from her eldest, and separated from her youngest for over seven years. But healing takes courage, and Shawnti's story is a testament to the power of restoration.
In this episode, she shares how she slowly rebuilt trust with her daughters and the intentional steps they’re taking toward stronger bonds in 2025.
Whether you're a parent navigating a broken relationship or someone on your own path of healing, Shawnti offers heartfelt wisdom, raw honesty, and hope for what’s possible.
