In this episode, we sit down with Barbara, who shares her powerful story of resilience in the face of unimaginable challenges. At just 17 years old, Barbara found herself navigating teen pregnancy, enduring heartbreaking loss, and grappling with the judgment of her church community. After experiencing a devastating miscarriage at 5-6 months pregnant while at summer camp, she returned home only to face the scrutiny of the church deacons. Just one week after her father’s absence, they demanded she stand before the congregation to ask for forgiveness—but her mother refused to let that happen.

Join us as Barbara recounts these life-altering moments and shares how they shaped her journey, leading her to the person she is today. This is a story of heartbreak, courage, and defying expectations.
