What if the biggest thing standing between you and financial freedom isn’t your income—but the story you’ve learned to believe about money, success, and your own worth?

In this powerful episode of Breaking Curses with Excellence, Christina Russell sits down with Dr. Billina Shaw, a triple board-certified psychiatrist, public health physician and financial wellness strategist, for a conversation that goes far beyond budgeting and debt.

After unexpectedly losing a federal government position she deeply loved, Dr. Billina was forced to confront something many high-achieving people experience: Who are you when the title, paycheck, position, or achievement you built your identity around suddenly disappears?

That experience led her to recognize something surprising. Although she was financially secure and had already built significant wealth, her mind was still operating from scarcity.

Together, Christina and Dr. Billina explore how childhood experiences, generational trauma, career pressure, faith, family expectations and cultural messages can shape the way we think about money—and why financial wellness often requires emotional healing too.

In this episode, you'll discover:

- How to recognize a scarcity mindset in your finances, relationships and career
- Why your net worth and self-worth are not the same thing
- How childhood and generational experiences can shape your relationship with money
- Why shame around debt can actually keep you financially stuck
- The difference between chasing credentials and creating genuine value
- Why comparing yourself to others can reinforce scarcity
- How to pursue excellence without depending on titles or outside validation
- The connection between mental health and financial stress
- Why building assets and wealth can matter alongside paying down debt
- How faith and financial abundance can coexist
- Why boundaries—especially financial boundaries—can be a wealth-building strategy
- How to stop over-giving from guilt and start giving from purpose
- Why investing in yourself can create an impact far beyond money

Dr. Billina also walks listeners through her four-part framework for creating change:

1. Align with Purpose
Get clear about the life you're actually trying to build—not simply the title, job or financial number you're chasing.

2. Identify with Abundance
Learn to recognize what you already have while becoming the person capable of moving toward what you desire.

3. Abolish Limiting Beliefs
Challenge inherited beliefs about money, morality, success, worthiness and what you're "allowed" to have.

4. Act with Authority
Make decisions, establish boundaries and take actions that match the person you're becoming.

One of the most powerful reminders from this conversation:

Your past can inform your present without dictating your future.

Whether you're rebuilding after a job loss, trying to escape generational financial patterns, carrying shame about debt, questioning your purpose, struggling to set boundaries, or simply wondering why financial success still doesn't make you feel financially safe—this conversation is for you.

This isn't only about having more money.

It's about becoming healthier, freer and more intentional in the way you think about money, purpose, identity and your future.

🎧 Listen, take notes, and ask yourself:
What would change if I stopped making financial decisions from fear and started making them from purpose?

What if the patterns affecting your relationships, confidence, parenting, faith, and sense of self didn’t begin with who you are today—but with what you learned to do to survive?

In this powerful episode of Breaking Curses with Excellence, Christina Russell Strong sits down with Dr. Mylira Cary, PhD, LCSW, CCTP-II, CAIMHP, CEO/Founder of M. Green Enterprises LLC and The Metamorphosis Healing Experience, for an honest conversation about healing trauma, childhood wounds, survival mode, self-worth, emotional triggers, generational patterns, mental health, faith, and discovering who you are beneath what happened to you.

Dr. Cary shares her own deeply personal journey through trauma, depression, suicidal thoughts, sexual assault, struggles with feeling “enough,” and the experiences that ultimately helped shape her calling to help others heal.

Together, Christina and Dr. Cary explore what unresolved trauma can actually look like in everyday life—from people-pleasing, over-functioning and seeking validation to relationship conflict, isolation, defensiveness and repeatedly finding ourselves in the same painful patterns.

They also unpack the difference between therapy and transformational coaching, how childhood experiences can follow us into adulthood, why so many people are surviving instead of truly thriving, and how becoming aware of our behaviors and emotional responses can help us uncover wounds that still need attention.
One of the biggest reminders from this conversation:

You are enough. Your trauma may be part of your story, but it does not have to control the rest of your story.
If you've ever wondered:
Why do I keep repeating the same patterns? Why am I always in survival mode? How do I heal childhood trauma? Why do I need so much validation? How do I stop allowing my past to affect my relationships? How do I rebuild my self-worth? How do I break generational cycles?

This episode is for you.
Listen, reflect, heal—and keep Breaking Curses with Excellence.

In this inspiring episode of Breaking Curses with Excellence, Christina sits down with independent artist, mentor, and Boys & Girls Club manager Enaka Betech (NOC) to explore a journey of identity, healing, resilience, and purpose.
After moving from Cameroon to the United States as a child, Enaka struggled to find his voice while balancing family expectations, cultural differences, and the pressure to measure up academically. Those experiences led to years of self-doubt and depression before he rediscovered his purpose through music.
This conversation goes far beyond music. It's about learning to believe in yourself, embracing your unique story, and understanding that your greatest purpose often grows from your deepest pain.
Whether you're a music lover, creative, parent, mentor, or someone searching for purpose, this episode offers encouragement to stop chasing other people's expectations and start living authentically.

One of the most powerful moments of this conversation is our discussion about web usage—how intentionally using the web and the content we consume can shape our mindset, broaden our perspective, and influence the way we think, feel, and heal. The information, stories, and voices we choose to engage with can either keep us stuck or help us grow into who we're meant to become.
In this episode, we discuss:

🎵 Finding purpose through music

🌍 Growing up between two cultures

🧠 Overcoming depression and self-doubt

💜 Healing from childhood wounds

🎤 Using creativity to inspire and uplift others

✨ Why authenticity is more powerful than popularity

🌱 How changing what you consume—including your web usage—can transform your perspective and personal growth

✔️ Why mindset often determines success before your résumé does
✔️ The hidden beliefs that keep high-achievers stuck
✔️ How changing your expectations changes your outcomes
✔️ Why the questions you ask yourself matter more than you think

✔️ Breaking generational cycles around work, worthiness, and success
✔️ Healing from burnout while creating a meaningful life
✔️ Practical ways to think differently so you can live differently

We often spend years grieving the parent who wasn't there, chasing the love we deserved, hoping one day things will be different.

But what if our healing also requires us to honor the parent—or caregiver—who consistently showed up?

In this heartfelt solo episode of Breaking Curses with Excellence, Christina Russell explores why so many of us can become consumed by the love, approval, or attention we didn't receive that we unintentionally overlook the person who faithfully carried the responsibility of being there.

This isn't only about absent parents.
Sometimes both parents are physically present, yet one parent carries most of the emotional support, guidance, encouragement, discipline, daily care, or sacrifices that keep a family together. Sometimes that person is a grandparent, stepparent, foster parent, sibling, aunt, uncle, or another caregiver who quietly stepped into the gap.

This episode is an invitation to recognize those people.

Not to dismiss the pain of what was missing—but to acknowledge the love that remained.

In this episode you'll discover:
Why we naturally long for validation from those who couldn't or wouldn't give it
How that longing can cause us to overlook the people who consistently loved us
Reflection questions to help you recognize the quiet sacrifices made on your behalf
Practical ways to express gratitude to the people who showed up
Why honoring consistent love is a powerful step toward healing and breaking unhealthy cycles

Healing doesn't mean pretending your wounds don't exist.

Healing also means learning to recognize, appreciate, and celebrate the people who chose to love you consistently—even when their sacrifices weren't always noticed.
