When Sunday Morning Shattered: From Chaos to Clarity — The Healing Power of Journaling
Description
On an ordinary Sunday morning, everything inside Shawnti finally gave way. What looked like a life held together became a mirror of small, unspoken truths — pregnancy at fourteen, nights of numbness, a thrill-seeking need to feel alive, and a hollow performance of strength that masked a growing storm.
In this powerful episode of Change Happened, Then What?, host Heather Holt guides us through Shawnti’s raw and relentless journey: from a childhood where feelings were forbidden and chaos felt normal, to the day her mind and body finally said, “Enough.” What followed was a month-long unraveling — a clinical diagnosis, a hesitant first visit to a psychiatrist, and the painful trial and error of finding someone who could truly hold her story.
Through faith, therapy, and the healing power of journaling, Shawnti began transforming pain into purpose — proving that asking for help isn’t weakness, it’s courage. From a stack of dollar-store notebooks labeled with old wounds, she built a life of meaning, becoming a Master Certified Mental Health Coach and best-selling author of Quiet As Kept.
This episode is a conversation about courage — about choosing therapy over shame, truth over silence, and healing over survival. It’s a reminder that you are not weak for needing help; you are human, and you are not alone.
