Vision In The Valley
Expecting More In '24
Could understanding the profound impact of generational trauma change your perspective on managing expectations? This episode of Vision in the Valley takes you through an intimate journey of my childhood, growing up with a schizophrenic mother. I recount how living in a household that suppressed painful truths shaped my aspirations and dreams, leading me to limit my expectations to avoid disappointment. Despite excelling academically, the heavy burden of my family's past kept me from seizing life-changing opportunities. Through this heartfelt narrative, we explore how early experiences influenced my professional approach to managing expectations, contrasting it with the boundless blessings God promises us, as illustrated in Ephesians 3:20.
In the latter part of this episode, we delve into the profound theme of trusting in a higher power for new beginnings, even when born under traumatic circumstances. At 24, I uncovered the painful truth of my conception and its lasting effects, but through faith, I came to see my birth as a divine intervention that ended my mother's suffering. Born in August, a month symbolizing new beginnings, I've embraced this symbolism in my journey of self-acceptance. In 2023, I finally began to fully embrace my identity and look forward to further growth in 2024. Join me as I emphasize the transformative power of faith and resilience, while sharing personal stories and insights that highlight the importance of trusting in God without the constraints of managed expectations.
