Behind the Platform: The Woman Who Needed Healing Herself

Rev. Jocelyn has spent her life helping others heal — as an ordained minister, Certified Grief Counselor, and founder of Faith on the Journey, a Christian counseling company. But behind her leadership was a silent struggle marked by manipulation, gaslighting, and emotional control. Like many survivors, she battled self-doubt and societal expectations, asking: Does this count as abuse if there are no bruises? In this groundbreaking episode, she answers that question with unapologetic truth — and gives others permission to do the same.

This episode is more than a conversation — it’s a lifeline for those navigating the aftermath of emotional abuse. With wisdom and unwavering compassion, Coach Déa cultivates a safe, judgment-free space where survivors can feel seen and heard. Together, she and Jocelyn delve into the spiritual, emotional, and relational toll of abuse, revealing how healing begins the moment we dare to speak our truth.
