In this deeply moving episode of Courage to Heal, Anna sits down with Rhoda Banks, motivational speaker, coach, and author of the powerful memoir Daughter of an Assassin. Rhoda shares her extraordinary story of growing up amid violence, intergenerational trauma, and emotional neglect – and how she rose above it all to become a successful executive and advocate for healing and self-worth.

Together, Anna and Rhoda explore themes of childhood trauma, survivor’s guilt, emotional neglect, body image, forgiveness, faith, and personal transformation. Rhoda’s honesty and resilience will resonate with anyone who has struggled with feeling unworthy or burdened by their past. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing is possible, and your legacy is yours to write.
