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.

8 | Favor is: Grace, Growth & God’s Unmerited Yes
Saturday Dec 21, 2019
Saturday Dec 21, 2019
They said, “Favor ain’t fair.” But sis, when God puts His hand on your life, it’s not a fluke—it’s a faith move. And guess what? Favor is fair when you’re walking in divine alignment.
In this episode of The Faith Podcast, I’m unpacking what it really means to be favored—beyond the fluff and Instagram captions. Based in Genesis 6:8, where “Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord,” we explore how favor is the highway to destiny, not just a shortcut to success.
You’ll learn how to:
EVOLVE your mindset to match your mission
Stop letting free excuses cost you profitable results
View EXPENSES as investment, not loss—especially when faith is fueling your next move
Favor will cost your comfort, but it’ll crown your calling.

5 | Let go of F.E.A.R: How to Break Free from the Lies Holding You Back
Saturday Nov 30, 2019
Saturday Nov 30, 2019
F.E.A.R. = False Expectations Around Results.
It’s time to expose the lies and snatch your power back.
In this episode, we’re going after the spirit of fear that’s been keeping you stuck. Whether it’s fear of failure, rejection, or not being enough—that fear has no authority over you. You were not given a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Let’s reclaim that truth today.
➡️ You’ll learn how to:
🎯 Refocus on your mission, not the mess
🛑 Stop comparing your chapter 1 to someone else’s chapter 10
👊🏾 Confront fear head-on and fight for your freedom
This ain’t just a pep talk—it’s a purpose push. Let this be your sign: it’s time to move.

➡️ Tune in to learn how to:
Let go of habits that keep you bound
Set the tone for your day—and your life—with intention
Protect your peace and prioritize your mental health because your breakthrough is on the way

Saturday Nov 16, 2019
Saturday Nov 16, 2019
“It doesn’t matter when we start. It doesn’t matter where we start. All that matters is that we start.”
Sis, the pity party is canceled. There were 45 days left in 2019 when I recorded this—but no matter what day you’re listening, this truth still hits: You have time to make something happen. And it starts with faith, not feelings.
In this episode, I’m speaking directly to that part of you that’s been stalling, second-guessing, or feeling sorry about what didn’t work out. The delay does not mean denial. Let’s rise from the ashes, shake off self-pity, and activate that bold next move.
We’ll talk about:
Why pity keeps you stuck, but purpose moves you forward
How to reset your mindset and reclaim your momentum
What it really looks like to finish strong with God—even when the year didn’t go as planned

1 | Validation Expired, FAITH Activated: Stepping Into Purpose Without Permission
Wednesday Oct 30, 2019
Wednesday Oct 30, 2019
Are you waiting for approval before you move? Sis, what if I told you the validation you’ve been seeking already expired—and it’s time to activate your FAITH?
In this kickoff episode, I’m diving deep into what it really means to walk by faith. Spoiler alert: it’s not always pretty. It’s unfamiliar. It’s uncomfortable. It demands your vulnerability and will stretch your trust in ways that feel painful… but the pain of faith is always anchored in the unshakable promises of God.
You’ll hear what happens when we stop waiting for permission and start walking in purpose. It’s time to trade validation for vision, comfort for calling, and fear for forward motion.
