In this deeply personal and faith-filled episode, I open up like never before, sharing the journey that shaped who I am today. From transferring to Whitney Young during my sophomore year and enduring relentless bullying to facing a life-changing illness that left me unable to walk, talk, or eat—this is my story of loss, resilience, and ultimate redemption.

I take you through the darkest moments of my life: a year spent battling physical and emotional pain, devastating MRI results, three weeks in the hospital, and the mental health struggles that followed. But I also share how God met me in my lowest moments, how my faith carried me through, and how I’ve come out stronger on the other side.

This episode isn’t just about overcoming obstacles—it’s about flourishing in front of those who tried to break you, confronting your past, and embracing the purpose God has for your life. From rebuilding my relationship with God to finding healing through interviewing athletes and rediscovering my passion for life, I hope this story inspires you to trust the process and know that your comeback will always be greater than your setback.

Tune in for raw honesty, powerful lessons, and a message of hope for anyone who’s ever felt lost or broken. This episode is proof that God’s plan is always greater than the pain—and He will put you back together in front of the people who tried to tear you down.
