Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

In today’s episode of **Healing & Becoming**, Coach Tamika sits down with transformational coach and author **Chara**, a powerhouse voice in identity work, brain rewiring, and faith-based transformation.

If you’ve ever felt like your mind is blocking your blessings…

If you’ve prayed for breakthrough but battled self-sabotage…

If you KNOW God has more for you but your thoughts keep pulling you back…

THIS episode is your divine setup.

Chara breaks down how **neuroscience, scripture, and identity healing** all work together to rewire your brain so you can *actually* receive what God has been trying to get to you.

Inside this conversation, we dive into:

How your brain stores trauma, patterns, and spiritual resistance

Why so many women believe *in* God but struggle to believe **God for themselves**

What happens in your mind when you declare scripture

How neuroplasticity supports spiritual renewal (Romans 12:2 in real life)

The exact steps to rewire your thinking to align with God’s promises

How to break inherited mindsets and emotional cycles

The power of journaling, confession, and identity work

Why the enemy attacks the mind first — and how to fight back with strategy

How to stop rejecting what God is trying to release

If you’re ready to heal your identity, expand your faith, and reprogram your mindset on a cellular, spiritual, and biblical level — this conversation will hit your spirit like fresh fire.

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

If you grew up in the late ’80s or ’90s, you probably remember the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles—the action figures that defined a generation. In this powerful episode of *Healing & Becoming*, Tamika Thomas sits down with **Quiggly**, the lead concept artist behind those legendary toys, who has now stepped into a new calling—creating **Ancientz**, a faith-fueled universe inspired by Hebrews 11.

After years of business success, burnout, and a spiritual awakening, Quiggly rediscovered his creative fire and found a divine mission: to tell redemptive stories through futuristic heroes built on biblical truth. Ancientz reimagines timeless legends as robotic warriors of light, reminding us that faith and imagination can coexist beautifully.

Together, Tamika and Quiggly dive deep into the intersection of **faith, creativity, redemption, and legacy**—and what it means to let God breathe on your gifts again.

  What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

* Behind-the-scenes TMNT nostalgia and how it shaped the Ancientz universe

* The redemptive story of how God reignited Quiggly’s creative mission

* The biblical inspiration behind Ancientz—especially Hebrews 11

* Encouragement for creatives who think it’s “too late” to start again

* How Ancientz is redefining faith-based storytelling for a new generation

  About Ancientz:

Ancientz is a collectible universe where **spirit-powered robotic heroes** rise from the pages of faith and legend. Each character fuses **biblical courage** with futuristic design—light-up eyes, glowing hair, and the heart of a warrior who stands for **truth, justice, and sacrifice**.

 This is mythology reloaded. History re-engineered. A new kind of hero rises.

This episode is for the woman who’s in a season of uncertainty… wondering, God, what are You doing with my life?”

Today, we’re joined by **Matthew** — writer, teacher, and the creator of the upcoming screenplay *English Corner* — a project birthed out of one unexpected “yes.”

After losing his job, Matthew found himself at a crossroads. Instead of spiraling into fear, he leaned into faith. God led him halfway across the world to teach English in China — a place he never planned to go. His obedience not only transformed his life, but also sparked a story that would later become a screenplay impacting countless others.

In this conversation, we talk about how sometimes the greatest breakthroughs show up disguised as detours.

*In this episode we cover:

* How a setback positioned Matthew for God’s bigger assignment

* The beauty (and discomfort) of saying *yes* when God’s instructions don’t make logical sense

* Why obedience is not a moment — it’s a journey

* How to hold on to faith when the path looks nothing like the promise

* The power of trusting God with outcomes instead of trying to control every detail

Mic-Drop Moments & Takeaways:

 “Sometimes God will close a door you were too loyal to walk away from.”

 “Obedience is the bridge between where you are and who you’re called to become.”

 “Setbacks are often God’s setup to reroute you into purpose.”

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

What do you do when your faith feels fragile… and your anger is directed toward God Himself?

In this honest and healing conversation, **Coach Tamika** sits down with **Elena Huggins** — a passionate communicator, musician, entrepreneur, and lover of Jesus — to talk about what it really looks like to wrestle with God through pain, disappointment, and trauma.

For the past 18 years, Elena has inspired and challenged audiences with her raw transparency, biblical truth, and deep empathy for those walking through emotional and spiritual battles. She’s not afraid to talk about the hard stuff — from **PTSD, anxiety, and depression** to the journey of finding freedom, forgiveness, and intimacy with God again.

Together, we unpack questions many believers silently carry:

 What happens when I’m mad at God?

 How do I trust Him again after deep hurt?

 Why is honesty with God the beginning of healing?

This episode is for anyone who has ever shouted *“Why me?”* and still longs to believe that God is good.

 About Elena Huggins

Elena is a powerful voice of truth and transformation. Over nearly two decades, she has spoken on countless stages — from churches to conferences — using her straightforward, Spirit-led approach to empower others to live free and fall deeper in love with Jesus.

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

This is a powerful and deeply important episode of *Healing & Becoming*. Coach Tamika is joined by **Randy Goodwin**, a passionate voice for healing, deliverance, and freedom in Christ — especially for survivors of **satanic ritual abuse (SRA)**, those leaving the occult, and anyone recovering from deep spiritual and emotional trauma.

Randy brings decades of ministry experience, a deep understanding of spiritual warfare, and a compassion for those seeking complete restoration in Jesus Christ.

In this episode, we cover:

What satanic ritual abuse is and why it’s often misunderstood

How survivors can begin the journey toward healing and deliverance

Practical steps to break free from generational bondage and trauma

How the Church can be better equipped to minister to survivors

Randy’s personal faith insights on spiritual warfare and reclaiming your freedom in Christ

This is a sensitive but necessary conversation for anyone who has experienced deep trauma, or who desires to stand in the gap for those bound by darkness.
