The Blinded Truth
The Blinded Truth Podcast is a raw, unfiltered space where real stories meet real healing. Hosted by Destinnee Vance, Registered Crisis Certified Peer Recovery Specialist, community advocate, and founder of Destiny Is By Choice Support Services, this podcast dives deep into the journeys we often keep hidden—addiction, trauma, grief, faith, resilience, and the messy, beautiful process of becoming whole.
Each episode pulls back the layers on the truths we’re scared to say out loud, creating room for honesty, growth, and transformation. Through powerful interviews, truth-telling conversations, and reflection segments like Truth Shots and Hidden Truths of the Heart, listeners are reminded that healing is possible, recovery is real, and your story still matters.
This is more than a podcast—it’s a movement, a ministry, and a mirror revealing what’s been in the dark for far too long.
Real Stories. Real Struggles. Real Healing.
Because your destiny is by choice… not by chance.
The Blinded Truth
When Love and Grief Sit at the Same Table
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when your heart feels full… and heavy at the same time?
In this deeply personal episode of The Blinded Truth Podcast / Truth Shots, host Destinnee Vance opens up about celebrating love on Valentine’s Day while simultaneously honoring the 20-year anniversary of losing her father.
Because sometimes…
🌹 You’re smiling in public
🕊️ But grieving in private
💔 Celebrating love
📅 While remembering loss
Love and grief can coexist.
Joy does not betray your grief.
Grief does not cancel your joy.
In this powerful conversation, we talk about:
• Grieving during holidays and special occasions
• The emotional conflict of joy after loss
• Why grief is evidence of love
• Healing after losing a parent
• Navigating anniversaries and birthdays after death
• Emotional maturity and growth after trauma
• Moving forward without “moving on”
If you’ve ever posted a happy picture… but cried later that night — this episode is for you.
If you’ve ever felt guilty for laughing after loss — this episode is for you.
If you’re carrying roses and ashes in the same hands — this episode is for you.
This episode is brought to you by Destiny Is By Choice Support Services — because your journey, your voice, and your truth matter.
