In this episode of the Just Say Something Podcast, host Phil Clark talks with Shameka Chanel, founder of Points of Origin, to explore the power of embracing your identity and owning your personal story. Shameka shares how her Kansas roots shaped her counseling approach, why “come as you are” is more than just a phrase, and how she helps clients integrate all parts of themselves for true healing. They also discuss the importance of culturally responsive care, community connection, and why it’s never too late to grow beyond pain points.
