In this episode, we explore how acknowledging pain can be the first step toward transforming it into purpose. Inspired by Krystal Hood’s journey, we discuss the difference between toxic and transformative resilience, the power of being both soft and strong, and how vulnerability-centered leadership can create real change. Discover how education and mentorship can break cycles of trauma and open pathways to liberation, not just for ourselves but for future generations. If you’ve ever felt pressured to hide your struggles, this conversation is your reminder that healing and legacy begin with embracing your full humanity.
