Grief sucks. There really isn’t a prettier way to say it.

In this episode, Garrika D. Shern open up about navigating grief one of life’s most painful and uncomfortable seasons. I talk about what grief looks like, how to trust God when nothing feels familiar, and why healing isn’t something you can rush or ignore.

We’ll explore the importance of leaning on community when you’re tempted to isolate, the danger of suppressing your pain instead of processing it, and what can happen when grief goes unhealed. Most importantly, we’ll talk about the hope that God meets us in our brokenness and gently restores us one step at a time.

If you’ve experienced loss, feel stuck in your healing journey, or are learning how to trust God through heartbreak, this conversation is for you.

Remember: grieving isn’t demonic. It’s evidence that you loved deeply. And while grief may change you, it doesn’t have to define you. Let God Restore you 🩷

Being still is not easy, especially when you have plans to hit the ground running. But what if God’s call to pause is actually a call to greater obedience, clarity, and purpose?

In this episode, we explore the power of waiting, the peace that comes from surrendering control, and why sometimes the most productive thing you can do is simply be still. Tune in to discover how patience and obedience can transform your journey in ways rushing never will.

What happens after you finally walk away from a toxic relationship?

In this episode, we dive into the emotional aftermath- the part no one really prepares you for. Healing isn't always instant or empowering at first. Sometimes it's a messy journey you have to walk through, filled with emotions , shame and guilt with self-doubt trying to take the front seat.

In this episode I open up about what led to my healing journey after getting out of a 6 year toxic relationship with a narcissist. I talk about what the healing journey can really look like after leaving a toxic situation: the internal battles, the questioning, and the quiet moments where you're learning to trust yourself again.

We'll talk about the familiar voices of guilt and shame that shows up from childhood to distort your perspective, and what it means to take your power back. I give you step by step keys on how to began your healing journey.

In this episode, Garrika opens up about the truth behind “high pain tolerance” — and why it’s not the superpower we were taught to believe it is.

She speaks to the woman who endured too much. The woman who learned to survive instead of receive. The woman who mistook chaos for chemistry and strength for silence.

Garrika shares her personal childhood experiences that shaped her understanding of love and led her to choose toxic partners — including remaining in a toxic relationship for six years. She unpacks how unhealed wounds can normalize dysfunction and why endurance is often a trauma response, not a badge of honor.

This episode dives into what real healing looks like and the uncomfortable but necessary transition from toxic love to safe love. Garrika explores what it means to go from choosing emotionally unavailable, harmful men to allowing yourself to be loved by a safe man — and why healthy love can feel unfamiliar, even unsettling, at first.

If you’ve ever confused pain with passion, or survival with strength, this conversation is for you.

It’s time to stop glorifying endurance and start choosing peace.
