Unmasking Strength: Turning Pain into Purpose with Dr. Shana Gourdine

 

In this powerful episode of The Secret KeepHers Podcast, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Shana Gourdine, a woman who has turned her deepest struggles into a mission of healing and empowerment. Dr. Shana, also known as The Lady Behind the Mask, shares her journey of overcoming domestic violence, chronic health challenges, and the emotional toll of keeping secrets.

We discuss how trauma manifests in our bodies, the importance of setting boundaries, and how true healing begins when we reclaim our voice. Dr. Shana’s story is a testament to resilience, self-worth, and the power of using our pain to uplift and inspire others.

One of the reasons I admire Dr. Shana is because we had the honor of collaborating on her book Turning Pain Into Purpose, which became a #1 bestseller in the spiritual category. In this episode, she shares the deeply personal story behind her work, the pivotal moments that changed her life, and the wisdom she has gained through her hearling journey.
