What happens when pain becomes purpose? What happens when the scars we try to hide become evidence of God’s healing power?

In this powerful episode of Heart Sleeve, I, Octavia | The Surrendered Gem, sit down with special guest Minister Kia Goodson, Founder of SiStars Speak for a real, raw, and redeemed conversation about grief, healing, identity, and restoration.

Minister Kia opens up about navigating multiple forms of grief — from broken relationships to the incarceration of her son and other life-altering experiences that have tested her faith and stretched her heart. Together, we unpack how childhood experiences can shape the way we love, show up in relationships, and move throughout the world.

But this conversation doesn’t stop at pain.

Minister Kia reminds us that true healing and clarity are found through identity in Christ — and that God is still able to straighten every crooked path.

This episode is filled with wisdom, transparency, encouragement, and powerful gems that will resonate deeply with anyone who listens.
