Have you ever felt like you don’t even recognize yourself anymore? Like the person you once were—full of dreams, joy, and energy—has been buried under heartbreak, stress, or life’s endless expectations? In this episode of Thuli Talks, we go deep into the raw and real feelings of losing touch with yourself. I share personal stories, spiritual reflections, and practical ways to start reconnecting with the real you, even when it feels like that person is lost forever. If you’ve been feeling empty, stuck, or unsure of who you are, this episode is for you—a safe space to sit with your feelings, heal the cracks, and take your first steps toward finding yourself again.
n this deeply introspective episode of Thuli Talks, Thuli unpacks the heavy and often unspoken reality of church trauma—the pain that comes not from God, but from the people and systems meant to represent Him. She explores how spiritual manipulation, judgment, and hypocrisy can wound the soul more deeply than the world ever could, leaving believers questioning their faith, identity, and belonging. Through honest storytelling and gentle spiritual reflection, Thuli speaks to those who’ve been shamed for their struggles, silenced for their questions, or exiled for being human. This episode invites listeners to separate faith from institution, God from guilt, and reminds us that healing doesn’t mean walking away from God—it means finding Him again, free from the walls that once confined Him.
n this raw and soul-stirring episode of Thuli Talks, Thuli dives into the emotional paradox of praying for something that’s hurting you—when your heart still longs for the very thing that’s breaking it. From toxic relationships to unfulfilled dreams, she explores the tension between faith, desire, and surrender, and how we often confuse holding on with hope. With heartfelt honesty, personal stories, and spiritual reflection, Thuli unpacks what it means to love something that God may be asking you to let go of. This episode is a reminder that sometimes divine love looks like unanswered prayers—and that letting go doesn’t mean you’ve failed, it means you’ve finally chosen peace over pain.
In this deeply vulnerable episode of Thuli Talks, we explore the quiet ache of grief that doesn’t expire—the kind that lingers long after the world expects you to have “moved on.” Thuli opens up about the hidden waves of loss that resurface in unexpected moments, the pressure to appear healed, and the sacred truth that some wounds are not meant to fully disappear. Through personal reflection, heartfelt storytelling, and spiritual insight, this episode reminds us that grief is not a timeline—it’s a love that changed form. Sometimes, healing isn’t about forgetting, but learning how to live with the memory in peace.
In this raw and soul-baring episode, we dive into a truth many are afraid to admit: you can’t meditate the trauma away.
We’re peeling back the layers of spiritual bypassing, toxic positivity, and the dark side of the self-help world—the part that tells us to "just journal," "just breathe," or "just think positive" our way out of deep-rooted wounds.
Thuli opens up about her own healing journey, the messy, non-linear parts. The rage. The sadness. The nights when prayer didn’t feel enough and affirmations felt like lies. We talk about how healing isn’t a vibe or an aesthetic; it’s spiritual, emotional, and physical work.
We’ll explore:
How the wellness world often gaslights real pain
The danger of using self-help as a distraction from actually helping yourself
The myth of always being “high vibrational”
The role of therapy, community, and divine surrender
And why real healing can’t be rushed with a vision board and sage
This is for the ones who’ve tried everything and still feel broken. For the ones who are tired of pretending they’re okay. For the ones ready to go deeper.
💔 Healing isn’t pretty, but it is holy.
After years of grinding, surviving, overgiving, and constantly being on edge, what does it look like to finally exhale? In this deeply personal episode, Thuli opens up about her journey from living in survival mode to embracing the soft life: a life of ease, peace, rest, and joy not earned through pain but received through healing.
We talk about unlearning the hustle-for-worth mindset, setting boundaries without guilt, and learning how to trust peace again. Through honest storytelling, scriptural truths, and gentle affirmations, this episode is your reminder that softness is not weakness—it’s sacred.
Featuring:
✨ Real-life reflections
✨ Bible verses for healing and rest
✨ Gentle affirmations
✨ A grounding prayer to close
If you’ve been feeling called to slow down, rest more, and finally live instead of survive, this one’s for you.
Let the soft life begin. 🌸
