In this episode of the Reclaiming Us podcast, hosts Kennedy and Teneka explore the complex topic of forgiveness. They discuss the difference between true forgiveness and mere reconciliation, emphasizing that forgiveness is a journey that involves releasing others to God's care. The conversation delves into the importance of recovery and the need to reconcile with God before attempting to mend relationships with others. Through personal anecdotes and biblical insights, they highlight the significance of understanding our own wounds and the impact of forgiveness on our emotional health and relationships.

Episode 5: Questions We’ve Never Asked
In this episode, we slow things down and lean into a heart-to-heart conversation. We ask each other intentional questions—some deep, some light—that open the door to things we may have never known about one another. It’s real, raw, and refreshing. Join us as we explore the beauty of curiosity, connection, and simply being present with each other.

Episode 4 – "Don’t Take This the Wrong Way, But..."
In this episode, we unpack the loaded phrase: “Don’t take this the wrong way, but…” — a common preface that often signals miscommunication, hidden tension, or unresolved conflict. We explore the psychology behind why people use it: to soften criticism, avoid confrontation, or navigate difficult conversations with those who may not receive feedback well. Is it passive-aggressive? Is it fear of being misunderstood? Or is it simply poor communication? Join us as we break down real-life examples, talk about how to handle these moments with more clarity, and offer tools for healthier, more direct conversations.

In this episode, we experienced quite a few technical difficulties and had to shift from our original topic. But in true "Reclaiming Us" fashion, we turned the moment into an opportunity. Instead of scrapping the recording, we brought a real, unresolved issue to the table and worked through it on the spot. Our hope is that by witnessing how we navigate conflict—with honesty, grace, and a desire for connection—you’ll gain insight into what it looks like when a mother or daughter wants to bond, but competing distraction create tension. Watch as we unpack the layers in real time, offering a transparent look into our healing process.

Episode 2: Boundaries — Safeguards or Setbacks?

In this episode of Reclaiming Us, we dive into the what, why, when, and how of boundaries—exploring their purpose, power, and potential pitfalls. While boundaries are essential for protecting peace and maintaining healthy relationships, they can also become walls that hinder growth and connection when not rooted in wisdom. Join us as we reflect on our personal experiences and lessons learned about setting boundaries that build, not break.

This is Reclaiming Us—a journey of healing, truth, and transformation.

Episode 1: The Journey Begins
In this first episode of Reclaiming Us, we open up about our personal journey—how our mother-daughter relationship was broken, what led to the healing process, and why restoring this bond is so significant. We explore the layers of pain, growth, and revelation that brought us back together, and we share why reconciliation between mothers and daughters matters not just for families, but for generational healing.
