Description

What if the very pain you’ve been running from is the thing that can heal you?

In this episode of Black Women North of 50, Wynn sits down with Denise James, psychotherapist and author of Back to Love, to explore how looking into our own story—without fear—can open the path to transformation.

Denise shares her deeply personal journey from a childhood marked by absence and survival to a woman who reclaimed her worth, spirit, and calling through the power of self-reflection and truth.

Her story reminds us that healing is about returning to our past with love, understanding, and compassion for the self that endured it all.

✨ You’ll Hear About:

• How facing your story can become a sacred act of healing
• The connection between mental breakdowns and spiritual breakthroughs
• Healing childhood wounds and rewriting generational stories
• What it means to live authentically in a world obsessed with perfection
• Using writing and reflection to return “back to love”
• How therapy, spirituality, and creativity can work together to guide us home

Listener Reflection / Invitation:

Take a moment to ask yourself—what part of your story still aches to be heard? Your pain isn’t your ending; it may be your invitation to rise into purpose.
