What happens when the life you prayed for starts to wear you down?

In this episode, Shelah sits down with Gia Peppers—award-winning journalist, host, and creator of Healed Girl Era—to talk about the sacred (and often messy) work of healing while still showing up for the job, the dream, and the people who count on you. From red carpets to radio shows, Gia built a thriving career in media—but behind the scenes, she was burnt out, spiritually depleted, and craving softness in a culture that demands grind. Now, she’s rewriting the rules. Together, they unpack what it means to heal in real time, the prayers that carried her through, and the boundaries she’s learning to honor as she chooses peace over performance.

This one’s for the women doing the work—even when no one claps for it.
