Healing Trauma & Reclaiming Your Story with Kandace Rather

In this powerful episode, I sit down with trauma coach, mediator, and author Kandace Rather to talk about healing trauma, reclaiming your story, and learning how to walk through grief with faith.

Kandace shares her deeply personal journey of overcoming childhood trauma, navigating years of shame and pain, and ultimately discovering how healing begins when we allow ourselves to face the parts of our story we once tried to hide. Through her work helping women heal from past trauma, Kandace explains why inner child healing, grief work, and emotional awareness are essential steps in personal growth and spiritual transformation.

Together, we explore what it means to disrupt the false stories trauma creates, take back your voice, and step into the identity God originally intended for you. Kandace also shares how grief can either harden our hearts or tenderize them — and why choosing healing allows God to redeem even the most painful parts of our story.

If you've ever struggled with past trauma, shame, grief, or feeling disconnected from your purpose, this conversation will encourage you to begin the healing process and remember that your story is not over.
