Ep. 226 What happens when we finally stop hiding our pain and start writing our truth? I’m excited to introduce you to my upcoming anthology, In the Pursuit of Fearless Living: From Wounds to Wisdom, and one of the incredible women featured in it—Leatrice de Bruhl. Her chapter, “Scars That Speak of Strength,” is a powerful testament to what it means to rise after life has broken you open.

Leatrice takes us inside her journey through abuse, injustice, and the unimaginable loss of her son Malik. She shares how grief brought her to her knees, but also how God rebuilt her from the inside out. Her willingness to break her silence—and help other women break theirs—is exactly why I chose her for this anthology.

This conversation is raw, faith-filled, and overflowing with wisdom. If you’re navigating pain, questioning your strength, or wondering how to rise again, Leatrice’s story will remind you that healing is not a moment—it’s a series of courageous choices to stand back up.
