009: Ditching the Mask and Coming out of Hiding w/Adelai Brown

 


Episode 009 of Get Naked LIVE features Adelai Brown,
Heart Coach, Speaker and Mentor.  In this
episode Adelai paints a very vivid picture of how ditching the
mask and coming out of hiding saved her life.  She speaks
candidly about how she had to overcome the pressure to be
impenetrable and secretive about her life. She takes a deep dive
into how black women unknowingly nurture humanity without caring
for themselves, and in many cases, without allowing themselves to
be cared for.


 
In this episode we get an inside look at a
courageous woman ditching the mask and finally coming out
of hiding

 


Growing up with a single mom, Adelai found herself tied up and
bound up in emotional turmoil.  Growing up without a father
meant growing up in a toxic environment for her.  After
years of the toxicity and fighting desperately to be STRONG in
the midst of LIFE HAPPENING, she finally  surrendered to
being vulnerable and renewed here relationship with God on a more
intimate level.
Some of the episode’s defining moments
include:

Growing up in a single parent home and how that impacted her
emotionally

The challenges of being a teen parent and feeling unworthy of
God’s love

How she had to get emotionally naked before herself and
before God

How she overcame church judgment and church hurt after
getting pregnant out of wedlock

How she’s helping women get to the HEART of the guilt and
shame that often wreaks havoc on their lives

How the church can help women embrace their vulnerabilities
instead of running from the pain
