This episode explores the possibility that not all hardship is punishment, some of it is preparation. Inspired by a conversation on Angie Martinez IRL with Joe Budden reflecting on Kobe Bryant, Erika asks a powerful question:

What if everything you survived didn’t shape you for pain…
 but for purpose, peace, and blessings you haven’t met yet?

We talk about becoming emotionally ready for the life we want, understanding divine timing, releasing armor, and stepping into a season where strength looks like softness, truth, and self-acceptance.

This episode will challenge the way you see your past and open your heart to a future where you don’t just survive, you become.
