- What happens when you've spent so much time surviving, taking care of everybody else, and being who everyone needed you to be… that you don't even recognize yourself anymore?
Maybe you've experienced heartbreak, grief, emotional trauma, or a major life transition, and now you're asking yourself:
"Who am I outside of everything I've been through?"
Girl, I get it.
Sometimes life changes so much that you don't even realize how much you've changed along with it. You become the strong one. The responsible one. The one who keeps everything together.
But somewhere along the way, you lose sight of the woman underneath all those responsibilities, expectations, and painful experiences.
In this episode of Identify You, we're having a real conversation about what happens when emotional pain and survival mode begin shaping your identity—and how to start rediscovering who you are in Christ.
We'll talk about:
How heartbreak, grief, and trauma can affect your sense of identity
Why survival mode can make you lose sight of yourself
How to separate who you are from what you've experienced
What it means to rebuild confidence and rediscover your identity in Christ
Because beautiful girl, what happened to you may have changed your life, but it doesn't have to define who you are.
You are more than your pain.
You are more than the roles you carry.
You are more than the woman you had to become to survive.
And you don't have to go back to who you were before everything happened. You can partner with God to discover who He's calling you to become.
🎧 As you listen, I want you to begin reflecting on the parts of yourself you may have lost sight of and what it looks like to reconnect with your God-given identity.
Your past is part of your story, but your identity is rooted in who God says you are.

#WalkByFaithAndSlay + Pray each and every day because God will make a way. - You survived it… but somewhere along the way, you lost yourself.
You became strong because you had to.
You learned how to keep going, take care of everybody, hold everything together, and survive things you never thought you’d have to face.
But now that you’re on the other side, maybe you’re asking:
“Who am I after everything I’ve been through?”
Beautiful girl, sometimes surviving emotional pain changes more than how you feel. It can change how you see yourself, how you show up in relationships, how much you trust, and even who you believe you have to be in order to feel safe.
And eventually, survival mode can start feeling like your identity.
In this episode of Identify You, we’re talking about what happens when the version of you that helped you survive becomes the version of you that you’re afraid to let go of.
We’ll unpack how emotional pain can shape your identity, why being “the strong one” can become a survival response, and how to begin rediscovering your identity in Christ beyond the pain, the roles you carry, and the woman you had to become to make it through.
Because you are more than what happened to you.
You are more than the strong one.
You are more than the survivor.
And you don’t have to remain in survival mode just because survival got you here.
🎧 Stay until the end because I’ll give you an affirmation to help you reconnect with your identity in Christ and a journal prompt to help you recognize what parts of yourself God may be inviting you to rediscover.
Girl, survival got you through it.
But God is calling you beyond survival and into wholeness.

#WalkByFaithAndSlay + Pray each and every day because God will make a way. - God forgave you—so why are you still replaying the mistake, carrying the guilt, and punishing yourself for who you used to be?
Maybe you’ve repented. You’ve apologized. You’ve changed your behavior. You’ve grown. But every now and then, your mind takes you right back to what you did, and that little voice says, “Yeah…but look at your past.”
Beautiful girl, if God released you, why are you still holding yourself hostage?
In this episode of Identify You, I’m breaking down the difference between conviction, repentance, forgiveness, guilt, and shame so you can recognize when God is correcting your behavior versus when shame is attacking your identity.
We’re talking about how to take responsibility for what you’ve done without living in condemnation, how to receive the forgiveness Jesus already paid for, and how to move forward without allowing your past to define who you are in Christ.
Because there’s a difference between saying, “I did something wrong” and believing, “There is something wrong with me.”
And if you’re healing from emotional pain, struggling with shame and unforgiveness toward yourself, or wondering whether your past has disqualified you from God’s plan for your life, this conversation is for you.
🎧 Stay until the end because I’ll give you an affirmation to help you separate your identity from your past and a journal prompt to help you identify what you’re still punishing yourself for—even though God has already forgiven you.
Your mistake may be part of your story.
But it does not get to become your identity.

#WalkByFaithAndSlay + Pray each and every day because God will make a way. - Have you ever prayed for God to speak… only to start questioning whether what you heard was actually Him?
Was that God?
Was that me?
Was that fear?
Or was that simply what I wanted to hear?
If you struggle with second-guessing God’s voice or you’re afraid of making the wrong decision because you don’t want to step outside of God’s plan, this episode is for you.
I’m sharing three ways I’ve learned to discern when God is speaking: whether what I’m hearing aligns with God’s Word, the fruit it produces, and the confirmation God provides.
We’ll also talk about becoming familiar with God’s voice through Scripture, prayer, fasting, removing distractions, and intentionally growing in relationship with Him.
Beautiful, you don’t have to live afraid that you’re going to get everything wrong. God knows His daughters, and He knows how to communicate with us in ways we can understand. Our responsibility is to stay close enough to recognize His voice.
🎧 Stay until the end because I’ll give you an affirmation to strengthen your confidence in hearing God and a journal prompt to help you recognize the ways He may already be speaking in your life.
If you’ve been praying for clarity for God’s purpose, second-guessing your next step, or wondering whether you can trust what you heard, this conversation will help you move from confusion toward greater confidence and dependence on God.

I am Shakera, widowed mother of two, Best-Selling Author, Transformation Speaker, and Christian Life Coach. For 14 years, I carried the weight of shame from childhood trauma and deep personal loss.
