Finding Freedom Through Vulnerability with Dr. Dequies Lanier

In this episode of The Unsidelined Life, host Eileen Noyes welcomes Dr. Dequies Lanier, who opens up about her personal healing journey and the unexpected ways God revealed her true calling. Dequies shares how her attempt to control her environment actually masked deeper emotional wounds that needed addressing, particularly in the areas of love and relationships. She explains how a series of life challenges—including a diagnosis of OCD, surgery for fibroids, and emotional struggles—became the catalyst for authentic healing and self-discovery. The conversation explores the difference between isolation and true healing, with Dequies revealing how she moved from merely avoiding pain to actually working through it in community with others. Listeners will gain practical insights on recognizing when fear drives behavior, distinguishing God's voice from destructive thoughts, and the importance of emotional stability even during difficult seasons. This episode beautifully showcases how our deepest wounds often become the foundation of our purpose, as Dequies describes transforming her women's empowerment platform "WE Suite" into a space for authentic vulnerability and connection.
