THE Go-To Podcast for Black Women wanting to build resilience and BOUNCE BACK after heartbreak through God’s Love!
Healing doesn’t have to be loud to be real. Coach Del shares how to honor the quiet work of recovery, rebuild self-trust, and find strength in stillness.
When truth arrives through heartbreak, it hurts — but it also heals. Coach Del shares a personal story of revelation, self-forgiveness, and faith, offering practical coaching insight on how to process painful truths without losing your peace.
Happiness isn’t denial — it’s defiance. In this finale of the Ruthlessly Intentional™ series, Del unpacks how joy becomes a spiritual practice and a bold choice after heartbreak. Learn how to protect your peace, rediscover confidence, and choose joy on purpose.
Forgiveness doesn’t excuse what happened — it frees you from what’s been holding you. Del opens up about forgiving her father and former husband, and how releasing resentment became the gateway to peace.
This episode explores what it means to rest, release, and rebuild after life has broken you open. Del shares how true healing begins when you stop performing strength and start trusting your own rhythm of recovery. You’ll learn why knowing yourself — and having the confidence to heal your way — is a vital part of bouncing back.
You can’t heal from what you won’t face. In this episode, Del shares how radical honesty with yourself opens the door to real freedom — and how facing your truth is the first step toward peace.
If resilience had a report card, what would yours say? In this reflective episode, Del shares how to evaluate your growth with grace — and how self-awareness, not perfection, sets you up for your best year yet.
Starting over doesn’t mean you failed—it means God’s redirecting your path. In this episode, Del shares how faith and resilience work together when life changes and how to trust the process of new beginnings.
Healing isn’t about erasing the past—it’s about learning from it. In this final episode of the Trauma Series, Del shares 5 faith-based truths to help you move forward with peace, purpose, and confidence after trauma.
Unhealed trauma can quietly shape how you see yourself. In this episode, Del explores the weight that unhealed trauma leaves on your heart—and how faith helps you release it, reclaim your worth, and remember you are already enough.
You can’t heal what you won’t feel. In Part 4 of the Trauma Series, I’m breaking down the weight of unhealed emotions — grief, anger, shame, and fear — and showing how suppressing them keeps us stuck. Let’s talk about how to release what’s been buried and allow God to meet you in the middle of it.
You might think your trauma is behind you — but what if it’s showing up in how you respond, protect, or connect every day? In Part 3 of the Trauma Series, we’re talking about recognizing trauma in your own life — from people-pleasing and control to exhaustion and disconnection — and learning to see these patterns through the lens of healing and faith.
Not all trauma looks the same. Some hits you suddenly, some wears you down over years, and some comes from tangled relationships that leave you questioning your worth. In this episode, I’m breaking down the 3 main types of trauma — acute, chronic, and complex — with real stories from my own life, and how God meets us in each one.
When you hear the word trauma, what comes to mind? For most of us, it’s catastrophic events — but the truth is, trauma often shows up in everyday life. In this kickoff to my 6-part Trauma Series, we’re unpacking what trauma really is (and isn’t), why naming it matters, and how recognizing hidden wounds is the first step to healing.
