🎙️ E24 – The Secret Stops Here: Breaking the Silence, Breaking the Cycles, Healing Lives part 1


In this powerful episode part 1 of 2, oh Mel dives deep into the importance of breaking generational trauma, family secrecy, and abuse cycles. Drawing from her own lived experience, she explores what trauma looks like, how silence fuels suffering, and the power of speaking out.


We explore the meanings behind childhood abuse, domestic violence, mental health struggles like PTSD and addiction, and intergenerational trauma. Oh Mel speaks candidly about what it means to heal as an adult, how to integrate faith-based healing with practical support, and why confronting family secrets brings true freedom.


This episode is a raw, honest, and empowering conversation designed to help others step into light, healing, and restoration.


It’s time to break the silence. The secret stops here.
