Hi, I’m Doc. G. For the past 20 years, I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor, mentor, community liaison, youth director, and facilitator—but at my core, I am a "storyteller". My career has always been about people, about listening, learning, and lifting up others. I have sat with individuals through their darkest nights and their brightest breakthroughs. I have heard the whispered pain of loss and the triumphant laughter of survival. Through it all, I have come to understand one truth: Grace is the act of forgiving yourself. Grace is loving yourself. That’s why I created Emerging with Grace, a podcast that honors the journey of transformation. Just like butterflies, we all begin as caterpillars—navigating struggles, setbacks, and self-doubt. We enter our chrysalis when life challenges us, wrapping us in uncertainty, grief, or change. But here’s the truth: we were always meant to emerge. And when we do, we become radiant, resilient, and breathtakingly beautiful butterflies—even if we don’t see it ourselves. It’s time to live your life in the sunshine and leave your cloudy days behind. In this podcast, I’ll take you on a journey with inspiring guests who have walked through their own chrysalis of grief, trauma, transition, and triumph. We will share stories that make us cry with pain and joy, laugh in sorrow and triumph, and most importantly, remind us that we are not alone. Let’s chat, let’s laugh, and let’s cry together. www.marquitagarrettphd.com
