My Pain Created My Purpose (Dr. Vernell Mackie)

Allow your pain to help you discover your purpose! Our guest today was introduced to trauma at a very early age and experienced the horrors of abuse for many years. In this episode, we’ll discuss how pain can be a stepping stone to the place that was ordained for you even before you were born. Do not be afraid to feel the pain each step of the way. It will help you turn from a caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly!
