UNBOXED on Purpose

Host: Barbara A. F. Brehon

As Palm Sunday approaches, we often focus on praise while overlooking preparation.

In this episode of UNBOXED on Purpose, Rev. Dr. Barbara A. F. Brehon reflects on Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem—an entry marked not by power, but by humility and obedience. While the crowd celebrated with expectation, Jesus moved forward knowing the cost ahead.

This conversation invites listeners to examine their hearts before Holy Week begins and ask:

Are we praising Christ for who He is, or for who we want Him to be?

🎧 Listen, reflect, and prepare for Holy Week on purpose.

Title: A Healing Journey to Authenticity

Airs: Thursday, February 12, 2026

Presented by: Favored by the Father Ministries

Description:

In UNBOXED on Purpose Episode 109, host Barbara A. F. Brehon welcomes Chantale C. Nyonka, award-winning author, Registered Nurse, and Mindset Transition Coach, for a powerful conversation titled A Healing Journey to Authenticity.

Chantale shares her deeply personal story of healing, shaped by childhood caregiving in Africa, unspoken trauma, survival mode living, and her eventual transformation through spiritual alignment and inner healing. Drawing from her nursing career and lived experience, she explores how unaddressed pain impacts identity, behavior, and emotional wellness, and why true healing begins at the root.

This episode speaks to anyone who has learned to hide, silence their truth, or survive rather than live fully. Chantale invites us to stop performing, start healing, and align with who God designed us to be.

✨ In this episode, you will hear:

• How childhood experiences shape identity and self-expression
• The connection between healing, authenticity, and spiritual alignment
• Why survival mode delays wholeness
• The power of addressing pain at its root
• Encouragement for parents, leaders, and caregivers

🎧 Featured Guest, Chantale C. Nyonka, is the author of On My Way Back to Yesterday: A Journey to Authenticity and the Journey to Authenticity Workbook. Her mission is to help others heal, rise, and live authentically and unapologetically.
