UNSTUCK After 40 (Part 1): The Childhood That Shaped Her-w/ Fee King

May 06, 2025 • Dwayne

What if the key to your next chapter was hidden in your first?

In Part 1 of this raw, two-part conversation, host Dwayne Barnes sits down with the powerful and unfiltered Fee King—actor, writer, NAACP-nominated solo performer, and the living blueprint of what it means to rise after 50.

Before the coaching, before the spotlight, before the reinvention… there was a little girl who witnessed the unthinkable:

* Her mother being shot by a boyfriend

* Being taken to doctor’s offices to fake symptoms for street prescriptions

* Growing up with Nostradamus predictions that convinced her the world would end in 1999

And yet, even through that chaos, Fee held a desire to do better and be better.In this first half of her journey, she shares the pivotal point that changed everything: the day her mother passed — and the compassion, patience, and power that awakened inside her afterward.

💥 Topics in Part 1:

* Childhood trauma, confusion, and survival

* Spiritual identity, self-worth, and early pivots

* The hidden cost of being the “strong one”

* How compassion becomes a superpower after loss

This episode isn’t just storytelling — it’s soul work.And it’s only the beginning.
