Reopened Wounds at Dad's Viewing - MiniSeries Part4
đ§ Episode Summary:
What happens when grief and rage arrive togetherâuninvited and unapologetic?
In this raw and unflinching episode, Jasmine walks us through the spiritual and emotional chaos that unfolded during her fatherâs funeral and viewing. From church betrayals and unspoken family wounds to facing childhood predators in the pews, this episode is a sacred release.
She reflects on choosing her fatherâs final outfit, re-entering a church that once hurt her, and confronting the disrespectful eulogy âmemoryâ that revealed an affair her father had during his marriage. As if that wasnât enough, Jasmine is approached by three different men from her pastâmen who once preyed on herâand she makes a powerful decision to protect her inner child in real time.
This episode is more than storytellingâitâs a reclamation of power.
đ§đ˝ââď¸ Guided Meditation: âI Am Safe to Speak My Truthâ
At the close of the episode, Jasmine leads a healing 3-minute meditation for daughters, survivors, and preacherâs kids who were once silenced by shame or manipulation.
This meditation gently helps listeners release shame, reclaim their voice, and create safety inside their own body.
