From Pain to Power: Barbara Parker’s Journey Through Healing" | You First with Shawanna Kennedy

In this powerful and emotionally charged episode of You First, host Shawanna Kennedy sits down with Barbara Parker, the visionary behind BF Empowerment, for a raw and unfiltered conversation about healing, identity, and reclaiming your voice.

Barbara opens up about the early trauma that shaped her life—and how she learned to transform pain into purpose. This episode pulls back the curtain on what it really means to sit in your truth, confront what hurt you, and still choose to rise.

🔍 In Part 1, you’ll discover:

• Why silence was once Barbara’s survival—and how breaking it saved her
• The emotional cost of being the “strong one” in the family
• How unprocessed pain spills into relationships, parenting, and purpose
• What it really looks like to put yourself first after trauma

🎯 Whether you’ve been through it or you’re walking someone else through it, this is the conversation you didn’t know you needed. This episode will stir your spirit, challenge your beliefs, and ignite your healing.
