In this powerful episode of the Journey to Freedom Podcast, Dr. Brian Earnold sits down with soon-to-be Dr. Wendell Moss, a mental health therapist, instructor, and trauma specialist, for a deeply honest conversation about story, identity, healing, and faith.

Wendell shares his journey from St. Louis to becoming a therapist who helps men—especially men of color—engage their stories, face trauma, and find healing through community. He opens up about childhood sexual abuse, addiction, shame, self-hatred, and the difficult but necessary work of allowing others to witness his story.

This conversation explores why healing does not happen in isolation, why therapy is still often stigmatized in the Black community, and how faith can become a place where trauma is not hidden—but redeemed.

🔥 In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why your story is not just for you
How trauma impacts the body, mind, and identity
Why Black men need safe spaces to tell the truth
How faith and therapy can work together
Why boundaries with family are sometimes necessary
The difference between survival and true healing
Why engaging your story takes a different kind of courage

As Wendell reminds us, healing requires risk, courage, and an empathetic witness. This episode is for anyone who has carried pain silently and is ready to believe that their story can become part of someone else’s healing.
