Faith Unfiltered | Chapter 4: Savvy in the Struggle
Homelessness doesn’t always come with a smell, a look, or a warning. Sometimes, it comes wrapped in strategy, lip gloss, and anointing.
In this raw and revealing episode, I share my real-life story of navigating homelessness in Newport Beach—living in my car, raising teenage sons, and showing up daily with lashes on and purpose in my pocket. I expose the assumptions people make about homelessness, how the system failed us, and why I refused to lose my identity in survival.
We unpack:
- What it means to carry grace in the middle of grit
- How I used Lifetime Fitness as a wellness sanctuary
- The moment the District Attorney’s office showed up because I didn’t “look homeless”
- And why being judged for your strength is the ultimate backhanded compliment
This isn’t rock bottom.
This is the refining fire.
And I stayed savvy in it.
Stay tuned—Chapter 5 drops soon: Breaking the System, Not the Spirit.
