Chapter 7: The earth shook,and so did I

In this episode of Soft Strength with Stephanie Juste, I share a chapter from my memoir Between Worlds about the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, and the unexpected emotions that came with it.While the world around me was shaken, something inside me shifted too. For the first time, I experienced relief from a life that had already felt heavy. Later, moving to the Dominican Republic gave me a glimpse of belonging, growth, and what it felt like to breathe again.This episode is about how environment shapes identity, how pain can hide beneath routine, and how sudden change can sometimes become the beginning of healing.Includes personal reflection, and prayer.#poem #podcast #creativeexpression #healing journey
