In this powerful full-length interview on the TeKenya K. Worldwide Podcast, Coach TeKenya K. Johnson sits down with Gen Reed Richards—author, inspirational speaker, gospel artist, and featured contributing author in The Scars That Carried Beauty: A Healing & Love Series Anthology.
Gen opens up about the story behind her chapter, “The Necessity of Pain in Healing,” and the truth that healing does not always mean avoiding pain—sometimes the very thing that hurt us becomes part of what develops, strengthens, and transforms us.
This conversation goes beyond the surface as Gen shares her journey, the lessons she has learned through difficult seasons, the importance of faith, and what it means to keep moving when life gives you every reason to stop.
We talk about healing, resilience, purpose, faith, identity, perseverance, and learning how to stand tall while you are still walking through the tunnel.
If you have ever questioned why you had to go through what you went through, this conversation is for you.
Your scars are evidence that you survived—but your healing reveals what you became.
