From Palo to Peace: A Filipina's Journey to Complete Healing and Grace
Many of us carry silent wounds—pain from childhood, broken relationships, or seasons of deep struggle that we’ve tucked away for years. In this vulnerable and powerful episode, I share my personal journey growing up in the Philippines, navigating emotional, physical, and verbal wounds, and how the grace of God carried me from survival to healing.
You’ll hear the raw truth of what it was like to grow up as the eldest daughter in a home marked by hardship, responsibility, and the absence of emotional safety. But more importantly, you’ll hear the redemptive power of forgiveness, the beauty of restoration, and how God can transform even the most broken stories into something purposeful.
If you’ve ever felt like your past was too painful to speak about—or too messy for healing—this episode is for you.
