*** 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 👋🏽
Today, I’ll be talking about a topic many survivors struggle to put into words: abandonment issues.
If you’ve ever felt the deep sting of being left behind, rejected, or unseen—whether as a child, in relationships, or even in your connection with God—then this episode is for you.
We’ll unpack what abandonment wounds really are, how they impact us as women, and, most importantly, how to begin the healing process. Let’s get into it with some compassion, faith, and practical tools.
I hope this episode blesses and inspires you.
In Healing and Love 😊

Hey, Sister-friend 👋🏽
As we wrap up the first month of the year, I want to ask you a question: What does your faith look like right now? Have you thought about your faith journey in the past year?
Did you have faith goals that maybe didn’t turn out the way you hoped? Or perhaps you’re in a place where you’re wondering how to grow closer to God in this next season.
Today, we’re going to talk about how to develop your faith in this new year. Faith isn’t about striving or earning God’s love—it’s about accepting the free gift of salvation through Jesus and learning to trust Him more deeply each day.
If you’re ready for some practical, down-to-earth tips, let’s get into it!
I hope this episode blesses and inspires you.
In Healing and Love 😊

Hey, Sister-friend 👋🏽
On the podcast this month, I’m focusing on building social connections, which can be such a healing part of our journey. But let’s be real: not every interaction is easy or comfortable, right?
Some people can come across as unfriendly – and dealing with that can be challenging, especially when you’re already dealing with your own stuff.
But here’s the thing: learning to relate to all kinds of people, including the ones who aren’t the most welcoming, is part of life. And as Christian women, we’re called to walk this path with compassion, wisdom, and grace.
In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about 5 practical tips for dealing with unfriendly people. I’ll also share some examples and encouragement to help you show up in these situations with confidence and love.
I hope this episode blesses and inspires you.
In Healing and Love 😊

Hey, Sister-friend 👋🏽
Today we begin to explore the concept of the inner child, which is one of my favorite topics.
We’ll define who the inner child is and talk about the benefits of getting to know your inner child and why letting them show up as they are essential to healing your trauma.
This is an important topic because, for many women, the inner child has been suppressed, dismissed or denied. When this happens, it affects how you show up in your adult life. You need to have a healthy inner child experience to have a healthy adult life.
I’ll share some examples of how I got to know and embrace my inner child. I will share some practical exercises in Episode 28 that you can use to get to know your inner child.
I hope this episode supports you.
In Healing and Love 😊

Hey, Sister-friend 👋🏽
Today’s topic is one that I think hits close to home for so many of us: fostering a sense of belonging.
If you’ve experienced childhood trauma, feeling like you truly belong can be really challenging. Maybe you grew up feeling left out, misunderstood, or even unwanted.
As adults, we can carry those wounds into our friendships, relationships, and even our relationship with God.
I want to let you know that there are spaces where you do belong. God created you for connection—with Him and with others.
And today, we’re going to unpack why belonging matters, how community helps us heal, and 5 practical tips to help you foster a sense of belonging in your life.
I hope this episode blesses and inspires you.
In Healing and Love 😊
