Family trauma runs deep, but so does the power to break cycles and heal. In this episode of Dear Soul, I sit down with Nell and Tish of Twinpowerment, therapists and twin sisters passionate about educating and empowering others on mental health, trauma, and somatics. Together, we unpack the silent pain many of us carry, the hard but necessary work of setting boundaries, and the journey toward healing—even when family doesn’t change.

We’re keeping it real about:
✨ How family trauma shapes us and how to name it
✨ Navigating guilt, boundaries, and cultural expectations
✨ What healing and forgiveness look like in real life
✨ The power of storytelling in breaking generational cycles

If you’ve ever struggled with breaking free from family patterns or felt the weight of expectations keeping you stuck, this conversation is for you.

Listen now and let’s heal, together. 💙

Welcome to Dear Soul, where real stories meet raw healing. In this first episode, I sit down with playwright and screenwriter Sonhara Eastman to have an open, heartfelt conversation about the silent struggles of infertility, waiting, and faith through life’s hardest seasons.

Together, we dive into:

✨ The unseen parts of the journey—what the world doesn’t see.

✨ Processing loss, disappointment, and frustration while holding onto faith.

✨ The silent pain so many Black women carry and why we suffer in silence.

✨ Healing, forgiveness, and the strength to move forward when life doesn’t go as planned. We also explore how storytelling, journaling, and speaking out loud can help us heal—tying it back to the themes of my book, Love Letters to My Soul. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the waiting, this conversation is for you.
