• Practice connection before correction
• Know your child’s heart, head, and hands
• You’re their manager, then their coach, then their consultant — THEN their friend

This is a clip from "She Felt Unseen for 40 Years… Until God Found Her" .

I wore a mask for over 30 years — nobody knew I was depressed.

I thought being unseen was normal… until God showed me the truth.

He met me while I was cleaning — the Holy Spirit came upon me right in my living room.

So many women carry silent pain — rejection, mother wounds, identity confusion, and the belief that they’re “not enough.” Erica Lewis lived this reality: biracial but not belonging anywhere, raised by white grandparents, labeled incorrectly in school, and told by her own mother she was a “mistake.”
Erica’s healing began when she became a mother herself and realized her daughter awakened a love she had never received. She dove into therapy, shadow work, and deep inner healing that forced her to confront the lies shaping her identity.

In this powerful episode, Erica walks us through the questions she asked herself, the work she did in therapy, and the spiritual and emotional tools that helped her heal decades of pain.

👉 If you’re ready to stop carrying what broke you and start owning your identity, this episode is your invitation to heal.

What if the “good girl” you became is slowly killing the woman you’re meant to be?

In this powerful episode of Staci Speaks Hope, Gwendolyn Althea and I unpack the lies we learned as little girls—like shrinking, overgiving, never needing anything, and earning love through doing.
And we talk about the truth that sets us free: rest is not lazy… rest is holy.
If you’ve been tired, resentful, or feeling invisible… this one will meet you right where you are.

✨ Watch the full episode and tag a sister who needs permission to rest.
✨ Let this be your reminder: You don’t have to earn your rest.

Many women—especially Black women—were raised with the unspoken rule: Be good. Be strong. Need nothing. This childhood survival strategy becomes an adult prison of overgiving, burnout, resentment, and shame around rest.

Gwendolyn Althea breaks down how to identify your “little girl” patterns, interrupt overgiving, build healthy boundaries, and reclaim rest as a spiritual and emotional necessity. She shows you how to rewrite your story, trust your inner voice, and shift from exhaustion to alignment. This episode gives you permission to rest without guilt—and teaches you how.

LISTEN IF YOU STRUGGLE WITH:

✨ Always being the strong one

✨ Feeling unseen or unheard

✨ Saying “yes” to avoid disappointment

✨ Guilt around resting or slowing down

✨ Overgiving in relationships

✨ Burnout, resentment, or emotional fatigue
