You’ve been taught vulnerability is strength, but what if that’s half the truth, and it’s costing you more than you realize? This week, DawnCheré Wilkerson joins me to dismantle the hidden toll of isolation. She shares how walking through infertility, life’s furnace, and unsurfaced grief fractures the soul, and how secrets rob you of belonging before you even realize it. DawnCheré exposes why vulnerability isn’t a spotlight; it’s a sanctuary that demands integrity. She unpacks the orphan spirit every believer must resist, warns against idolizing therapy as the endpoint, and offers a path forward: a refusal to run, safety in community, and the spiritual grit to stay alive.
If you’re tired of pretending you’re fine…if your pain feels invisible…if you’ve mistaken therapy for healing, this episode is your call to come home.
This episode will help you:
- Confront the cost of isolation and secret-keeping
- Navigate infertility as both struggle and sanctuary
- Recognize and heal the orphan spirit in the Christian community
- Stop misusing vulnerability and reclaim its power
- Walk the painful path with integrity, not a façade
