*** Top 2.5% Podcast *** Do you want to heal the childhood trauma wounds that are holding you back and keeping you from confidently living the life God wants you to live? Does your trauma history keep you crippled by fear, unable to discern and trust God’s plan, process, and purpose for your life? The effects of childhood trauma can show up as low moods, negative thoughts, overthinking, anxiety, crippling fear, low self-worth, physical illness, constant comparison, or emotional disconnection. I’ve been there. Hey sister-friend 👋🏽 Welcome to the Shades of Trauma Healing Podcast. A space for Christian women of all beautiful shades to experience trauma healing, move beyond blocks and begin fully living the life God is calling them to live. I’m so glad you’re here 😊 I’m Jenniel, a dearly loved daughter of God, trauma thriver, trauma therapist, and life coach, living out my purpose. The impacts of my childhood trauma remained unaddressed for years. I struggled through life, feeling stuck, unsafe, sensitive to threats of danger, and emotionally disconnected from God and the people around me. I desperately wanted to know and live out my purpose but had difficulty hearing God and figuring it out. I pursued education, career goals, ministry, and travelled, trying to find my place and call in this world. I thought had to do more things, but no matter what I did, I still felt unsure of who I was and what I was meant to do. I finally realized that the key to becoming who God wanted me to be started with facing my trauma wounds and pursuing holistic healing so I could remove the obstacles that prevented me from hearing God and experiencing life fully. As I healed from the emotional and somatic impacts of childhood trauma, my relationship with God improved, and I gained clarity about who I am and who God wanted me to be. I began to thrive. Today, I’m the most emotionally and spiritually healthy version of myself. I’m embracing more joy and laughter, and I’m living God’s call on my life as I walk in relationship with him. If you want to overcome the childhood trauma wounds that are holding you back… If you want to develop your ability to trust God and begin thriving in the life he is calling you to live… This podcast is for you. Here you’ll receive 🌟Trauma education to help identify and address the impacts of childhood trauma that keep you stuck. 🌟Mindset strategies and relational tips to help you develop your connection with others. 🌟Spiritual applications to help you deepen your trust and connection with God so you can gain clarity and discernment 🌟Motivational stories from other survivors so you see that you can heal and thrive after childhood trauma. My healing journey led me to address the emotional, spiritual, social, and neurological impacts and wounds caused by trauma, and this resulted in freedom like I’ve never known. And I’d love to share what I learned and experienced with you! We will approach trauma healing while walking together with God, The One who loves you most and wants you to heal and live an abundant life of joy, peace, and purpose. Today God is saying to you, his daughter… “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” Isaiah 41:10. God’s got you, sister-friend, so let’s do this.

Hey, Sister-friend 👋🏽When I began working with people to help them heal from difficult childhood experiences, I began having more and more conversations at work and with people in general about childhood trauma. We would talk about their struggles, hopes and wishes as it relates to healing from the effects of childhood trauma.
One thing I began to see was a pattern of women not understanding, minimizing or even dismissing their traumatic experiences. The more I heard it, the more it breaks my heart to hear these lovely women say it, and I want to address it today.
Many women don’t believe what they experienced was serious enough to warrant seeking help. After all, they did not experience any big events like violent sexual assault, war, or life-threatening situations. This means they often remain stuck in pain with trauma wounds instead of getting the support and healing they need.
Today I dig into the classifications of trauma, how trauma is actually formed and why your trauma is not based on a particular event.
I will give space to understand why your experience and trauma wounds deserve to be validated, voiced and addressed.
I hope this episode brings you some freedom and healing
In Healing and Love 😊
Jenniel

Hey, Sister-friend 👋🏽
The idea of being in control can be intoxicating, especially for trauma survivors. At some point, many of us have tried to do God's job in running our own lives. And I totally understand why. The motive is often self-protection—we want to avoid feeling powerless again. It’s part of the hypervigilance that results from trauma.
But have you ever considered that your need for control might actually be exhausting you instead of protecting you? Could it be that God has something better for you if you loosen your grip?
Today, we’re going to talk about why you can’t control your life better than God and how to begin letting go so you can experience safety and the abundant life that is possible.
I hope this episode blesses and inspires you.
In Healing and Love 😊

Hey, Sister-friend 👋🏽
Many survivors of childhood trauma focus on what was done to them and the people who hurt them. They believe the key to healing, feeling joy and love is to have the person who wronged them confess, ask for their forgiveness, and make amends. These actions certainly help with the healing process, and thankfully, it is not the only way.
Today, I will share with you the Surprisingly Overlooked Path to Attaining Joy, Love, and Discernment.
I hope this episode blesses you.
Blessings and Love 😊
