LaTerra Wise brings truth with tenderness and fire with faith. In this raw and redemptive episode, she unpacks what it means to survive trauma in waves—childhood molestation, father wounds, suicidal ideation, and devastating loss—and what it takes to rise from it with purpose.

In this episode, we talk about:

• 👧🏽 Growing up with emotional isolation and hidden depression
• 🧠 Experiencing molestation without knowing it was trauma
• 🕊️ Sitting on the floor with pills in hand—and hearing the voice of God
• 💔 Grieving her grandfather, father-in-law, and grandmother
• 😡 Why she didn’t know she was angry—and how it impacted her family
• 🧩 The emotional trap of survival mode disguised as strength
• 📖 Writing Unmasked and launching her Overcomer Circle

🎙️ What We Talk About:

• The silent link between emotional neglect and perfectionism
• How survival mode often masks as productivity
• How LaTerra broke free from autopilot and reclaimed her voice
• The difference between depression and survival mode
• The divine timing behind healing and purpose
• Why women must stop healing alone—and start healing loudly
• How LaTerra helps women turn their pain into purpose through strategy + support

🔑 Key Takeaways:“God didn’t need me attached to my parents—He just needed what was in them to create me.”“You can’t heal what you’re still pretending didn’t happen.”“Survival mode feels like you're living—but you’re really just existing.”“The mask may protect you, but it also isolates you.”
🙌 Why This Episode Matters:

This conversation is a lifeline for the high-achieving woman who looks put together but feels empty. LaTerra exposes the emotional weight of growing up unseen, the grief we don’t talk about, and the trauma that sneaks in under the guise of being “strong.”

Her story is proof that healing doesn’t happen overnight—but it is possible. And when you choose to unmask? You make room for purpose, connection, and radical peace.
