EP 154 | Stop Performing Pain: Share Your Story With Power (Not Trauma)

There's a razor-thin line between authentic vulnerability and damaging overshare. Most speakers get this wrong and it destroys their impact before they even realize it's happening. Rae reveals the costly mistakes she made while building her brand - from trauma-dumping in public to swinging so far toward privacy that she lost all connection with her audience. The solution isn't what you think. It's not about finding balance or following content formulas. It's about taking your stories to God first and letting Him decide what serves His mission. When you stop performing your pain and start sharing from a place of complete healing, everything changes.
