Chapter 3: The child they try to erase

In this episode of Soft Strength with Stephanie Juste, I share a deeply personal chapter from my memoir Between Worlds.This is the story of how I came into this world not through love, but through survival. A story shaped by rejection, silence, and the quiet strength of a mother who chose to carry me when everything around her told her not to.I speak about childhood memories that stayed in my body moments of loneliness, fear, and learning to find safety on my own.But this is not just a story about what I lacked.It is also a story about what remained.About being here… even when life tried to say otherwise.This episode includes a personal reflection, gentle breathing, and affirmations for anyone who has ever felt unseen, unsupported, or alone.You are not invisible.You are here.And that matters.
