Content Warning: This episode mentions abuse, child sexual abuse, child neglect, suicidal ideations, and suicidal attempts. 

Having a nurturing and stable upbringing is something too many of us take for granted. And growing up with a single parent in the throes of addiction can shape and mold a young, impressionable girl in many ways. This week on Journeys Through Change, I am joined by guest Tynitria Portis as she shares how she transformed her experience growing up around addiction, neglect and abuse into a beacon of hope for others. 

Tynitria Portis grew up with an alcoholic mother who abandoned her at the age of 5 – leaving her to care for her younger siblings while struggling to find stability within the chaos of emotional, mental, physical, and sexual abuse. Over the years, she experienced challenges in relationships and after coming to terms with her own infidelity, she credits years of therapy along with a strong will to break the patterns of generational dysfunction for helping her grow into the woman she is today. 

Now, as a spiritual leader and confidence coach, she now helps others gain the confidence to channel the pain caused by past trauma into creating greater purpose in their lives. Tynitria is a Spiritual Leader and Confidence Coach for black men and women who have the ambition to create their own opportunities and the passion to experience greater fulfillment in life. She is also a woman of God, a devoted wife, a mother of 2 boys, and an author. She specializes in helping her clients get out of the survival mentality and into a mindset of prosperity.

In this episode, Tynitria and I discuss:

  • How the circumstances of her upbringing influenced every decision she made into her adulthood. 
  • Breaking the cycle of addiction and abuse by using therapy as a tool to heal and teach her children a different path. 
  • Finding forgiveness and healing with her mother later in life.
  • Letting her past guide her as she helps others heal from their childhood trauma. 
  • Lessons learned on her path of transformation.
