A Black Woman’s Guilt and Shame

 


 


This episode is filled with poetry snaps and slow claps. 
Seriously, Angela Roulette peels back every emotional layer while
sharing her story of releasing the pain of the past and taking
her life back from circumstances that threatened to kill her.


 
Some of the episode’s defining moments
include:

 


How her self esteem suffered as a result of not being wanted
by her father

How she overcame the guilt and shame of her father’s suicide

Her PTSD and anxiety diagnosis having grown up in a community
that “doesn’t do mental illness”.

How she went from one dysfunctional relationship to the next
in search of unconditional love

How she sabotaged the one great relationship she had because
she was broken

How therapy and faith CAN co-exist

Her life before and after therapy

How she chooses peace over everything, even if that means
letting some people go

This episode is jammed packed with realness and rawness

Angela wastes absolutely no time spitting her truth about
releasing the pain, heartache and trauma of past experiences. She
gets naked about her estranged relationship with her mother and
father, overcoming guilt and shame and how poetry saved her life.

Angela’s MOST Quotable Moment:

“ I love my mom from a very realistic place.  I had to
‘bury’ the mother I wanted; and learn to love the
mother I have.  The moment I let go of the idea of what I
wanted my mother to be, was the moment I started to get more
peace.”
