Healing while raising everybody else isn’t easy — but you don’t have to do it alone. 💡
In this episode of Hope at the End of the Tunnel, Joi and Juanita sit down with Cyteese Alexander — wife, mom of four, multi-time author, and Fall 2025 Moments for Moms magazine cover feature — for a powerful, honest conversation on what it really looks like to heal while you’re still showing up for everyone else.
From becoming a teen mom of three under two, navigating premature births and hospital stays, to realizing (years later) that she was raising her children from an unhealed place, Cyteese opens up about:
Being the “generational curse breaker” in her family
The moment she finally took her healing seriously
Learning to take accountability and stop blaming everyone else
Apologizing to her children for parenting from an unhealed place
How prayer, journaling, and hard conversations became part of her healing toolkit
Seeing that sometimes the light isn’t just at the end of the tunnel — it’s with you in the tunnel 🕯️
If you’re a mom who has ever felt like you were falling apart while holding everyone else together… this conversation is for you.
If you’ve ever wondered if it’s “too late” to start your healing journey… this episode is your reminder that it’s not.
And if you’re a former or current teen mom trying to rewrite your story… let this be your proof that God can still do something beautiful with your life. ✨
