Identify You | Trauma, Emotional Pain, Shame, Confidence, God’s Plan, Affirmations, Journal Prompts
Top 5% Globally Ranked Podcast for Christian Women Healing from Emotional Trauma
Have you ever felt like your past disqualified you from purpose?
Are you smiling on the outside, but silently suffocating under shame, rejection, or unhealed trauma?
Do you know all the scriptures but still struggle to believe God really sees you—flawed, fragile, and still worthy?
If you whispered “yes,” sis… you’re in the right place.
This podcast will help you heal from trauma, break free from shame, and rediscover your identity in Christ, giving you the clarity and confidence to walk in purpose.
I am Shakera, widowed mother of two, Best-Selling Author, Transformation Speaker, and Christian Life Coach. For 14 years, I carried the weight of shame from childhood trauma and deep personal loss.
I tried avoiding my past because I thought it disqualified me and I needed to prove my worth.
I finally realized that God couldn’t heal what I didn’t reveal and if I wanted to move from brokenness to wholeness, I needed to identify who I was in Christ Jesus.
I went on a healing journey to face my truth and recover what trauma tried to steal. I developed spiritually, emotionally, and intentionally so I could show up confidently and build a Kingdom legacy. Now, I’m ready to help you heal, grow, and glow…
If your heart is craving a clear, faith-filled roadmap from Broken 2 Whole — made for the Christian woman who refuses to stay stuck…
✨ To recover what trauma tried to steal…
✨ To reclaim your voice and God-given identity…
✨ To renew your faith, mind, and emotions…
✨ To rise boldly into the woman He created you to be…
This podcast is for you!
So grab your journal, favorite pen and a heart ready to receive because we’re about to dig in.
