Kelvin Lumpkin noted, “Your heart has to be ready to handle the weight of your Calling.” In this episode, I tackle a question my oldest niece asked me during one of my pity parties: “Why are you holding a grudge against yourself?” I’ve had to grapple with the emotional toll of becoming who I prayed to be and walking into the life I asked Divine ONENESS to expand. More importantly, to figure out who or what taught ME to doubt mySELF to the point of self-betrayal and resist my highest good.

We carry more than just our own scars — we bear the wounds, fears, and weighted oppression of those who came before us.

This conversation isn’t about perfection or pretending the hurt never happened. It’s about reclaiming the authority to alchemize pain into power, fear into clarity, and inherited wounds into a new language of wholeness. Because the question isn’t whether your bloodline needs healing. The real question is — are you willing to be the one who starts to heal?

This episode is the second of my conversation about our emotional wounds—it’s an invitation to reclaim the power hidden inside them.

We’ll explore how our scars, especially in the African American experience, are not signs of weakness but sacred guideposts that point us toward our purpose.

You’ll learn why embracing our wounds as wisdom—not baggage—can awaken our Sacred Expressive Life Force™ and transform how we see ourselves, our history, and our role in healing our community.

If you’ve ever wondered how your pain could become power, this episode will show you why you are already qualified to be the healer the world needs.

Every year, this country throws a party on the 4th of July with flags, fireworks, and songs of freedom. But I’m no longer willing to ignore that woven into the broad stripes and stars of this celebration is a history of cruelty, erased contributions, sacrifices, and unpaid debts to those who built this country without freedom or safety.

As a Black woman, I know this ain’t our celebration. Yet, while they whitewash history, the present and future call us to reclaim what’s ours: purpose, wholeness, and sovereignty.

If you no longer want to carry the emotional burden of this country’s illusions… You need to listen to this episode, because it’s the perfect time to strategize our SELF-Reparation—instead of waiting for the healing justice that this country has never provided.

This episode dives deep into the wounded healer—not as a victim, but as a vessel of wisdom. Our scars aren’t proof of weakness; they’re the receipts of our fortitude and the blueprint to our purpose. As African Americans, our generational emotional injuries carry a sacred knowing that qualifies us to heal, lead, and transform. Tune in as we reclaim the power in our wounds and awaken the Sacred Expressive Life Force™ within.

We are the descendants of both pain and power—and that truth lives in our bodies, in our breath, and in how we choose to move through the world.

In this deeply personal episode, Dr. Pennie Murray explores what it means to carry two truths at once without trying to prove our worth through the struggle of this inner tug-of-war, but in realizing the most radical thing we can do is to “rest with purpose.” Not as a retreat or because we’re giving up—but because we’re finally tuning in to the truth of our Sacred Expressive Life Force™.

When rest is intentional, it becomes a reclamation. It becomes healing. It becomes a way to rewrite our story—on our own terms.

In honor of Women’s History Month, this episode of Rest with Purpose pays tribute to the African American women ancestors—those unsung wounded warriors who, despite their emotional wounds, mastered the art of subtle resistance. Within the confines of their daily, gender-defined roles, they moved with cunningness and courage, turning ordinary moments into extraordinary acts of defiance.

We also explore a new revolution—one anchored in three pillars of resistance, beginning with the radical act of Resting with Purpose.

In this first episode of my podcast "Remix," I share my journey of regaining focus and staying true to my life's spiritual assignment. While I was shifting my focus to rebel against the injustice of this 2.0 regime of social discrimination, my divine assignment won out.

With a firm scolding from my niece that ended with her using my own words against me—“Stay Focused.” I realized that a rebellion isn’t just about resistance. It’s about revelation.
