    Grief Isn’t the Breakdown—It’s the Reorganization

    Grief isn’t just something you “get through.” It reorganizes everything—your identity, your relationships, and the way you move through life. On this episode of Keeping It Real on Purpose, Edna White sits down with Marcia Earhart for a real conversation about what grief actually does beneath the surface—and why so many people feel lost long after the loss. This isn’t about coping. This is about understanding the shift. In this episode, we break down: Why grief is not a breakdown—but a full life reorganizationHow loss impacts your identity, decisions, and emotional patternsThe hidden behaviors grief creates (shutdown, overthinking, isolation)What it looks like to rebuild your life without abandoning yourselfIf you’ve been told to “move on” but something still feels off—this is the conversation you need.

  2. They Took Her Title Not Her Power The Truth About Resilience Under Fire

    They Took Her Title Not Her Power The Truth About Resilience Under Fire

    They took her title—but they couldn’t take her power. In this episode, I sit down with TaShun Bowden-Lewis to unpack what really happens when the position is gone, the recognition fades, and you’re left facing who you are without the title. TaShun made history as Connecticut’s first Black Chief Public Defender—but two years later, she was fired following months of disagreements with the agency’s oversight body, accusations of workplace misconduct, and a highly contentious hearing. And that’s where most people stop the story. But we don’t. We go deeper into what it means to stand in your identity when everything external is challenged—resilience under pressure, navigating public scrutiny, and separating who you are from what you held. TaShun shares what it really took to face the internal battle, process the fallout, and begin rebuilding from a place no one can take from her again. If you’ve ever felt pushed out, misrepresented, or forced to start over in a way you didn’t choose, this conversation will challenge how you see loss—and show you where your real power has been all along. This isn’t about bouncing back. It’s about rebuilding from a place they can’t touch. You heard the story. Now let’s talk about what to DO with it.

    She Turned Trauma Into Children’s Books… But It Started With Pain, Loss, and Toxic Love

    In this episode of Keeping It Real on Purpose, Ashley Donegan shares how her journey through trauma, loss, and toxic relationships became the foundation for purpose—and powerful storytelling. After surviving a near-fatal head-on collision caused by a drunk driver, Ashley found herself navigating a series of painful life experiences, including toxic relationships, divorce, and the devastating loss of a miscarriage with twins. At one point, all she saw for her life was becoming a mother—and even that path came with deep emotional challenges. But everything shifted when she finally had her daughter. That moment became her turning point. Together, they now co-create children’s books like Pirate Chickens Under Attack and Adventures of Snuggs, transforming pain into creativity, connection, and legacy. This episode explores: How trauma can distort self-worth and relationship choicesThe emotional impact of miscarriage and lossWhat toxic love really looks like when you’re inside itHow motherhood can awaken purposeTurning pain into something meaningful for the next generationIf you’ve ever questioned your worth, stayed too long in the wrong relationship, or wondered how to turn your story into something powerful—this conversation will meet you right where you are.
