What does faith look like when your life feels like a matter of survival — and where can it take you?

In this episode of Contain Her Magic, Sonia sits down with Charity Owens — mother of six, entrepreneur, and former political candidate — for a grounded conversation about faith, grit, and self-trust.

Charity shares her journey through childhood trauma, homelessness, and moments that forced her inward — into silence, journaling, and the pivotal question: How can I add value to who I am right now?

What emerged wasn’t passive hope, but decisive action — making a plan, taking one step, and trusting she could build something better.

This episode is about strength born of adversity, faith expressed through action, and allowing something greater to move through you as you move forward.

👉Listen to the end for a guided practice to help you put your faith into action.

This episode includes discussion of childhood sexual abuse and homelessness. Please listen with care and take what feels supportive for you.
