Vanessa reveals how her past trauma influenced her choices of partners, leading to abusive relationships in her late teens.

Reflecting on her rebellious personality as a response to trauma, Vanessa recounts facing her abuser at family gatherings, only to be silenced and disbelieved. Her life took a turn in her early 20s when she sought solace in religion, only to encounter a Ugandan pastor who claimed divine instruction to marry her.

Ignoring warnings from loved ones, she took the plunge and moved with him to the United States, only to realize the depth of his deceit, prompting her to swiftly end the marriage.

Through it all, Vanessa's unwavering optimism and belief in the potential for good in her life carried her through. Join us for this eye-opening episode as Vanessa shares her journey of resilience, forgiveness, and self-discovery.
