The Blinded Truth Podcast is a raw, unfiltered space where real stories meet real healing. Hosted by Destinnee Vance, Registered Crisis Certified Peer Recovery Specialist, community advocate, and founder of Destiny Is By Choice Support Services, this podcast dives deep into the journeys we often keep hidden—addiction, trauma, grief, faith, resilience, and the messy, beautiful process of becoming whole. Each episode pulls back the layers on the truths we’re scared to say out loud, creating room for honesty, growth, and transformation. Through powerful interviews, truth-telling conversations, and reflection segments like Truth Shots and Hidden Truths of the Heart, listeners are reminded that healing is possible, recovery is real, and your story still matters. This is more than a podcast—it’s a movement, a ministry, and a mirror revealing what’s been in the dark for far too long.  Real Stories. Real Struggles. Real Healing. Because your destiny is by choice… not by chance.

    What I Do Is Not Who I Am

    Send a text In this powerful episode of The Blinded Truth Podcast, hosts Destinnee Vance and Eric dive into a conversation many people silently struggle with. This conversation is for the ones who have worn the titles well.  The strong one.  The leader.  The provider.  The professional.  The fixer.  The pastor.  The advocate.  The boss.  The caretaker. Somewhere along the way, we start believing that what we do is who we are. We introduce ourselves by our careers.  We measure our worth by productivity.  We feel lost when the title shifts or disappears. And sometimes we never even chose the identity. We inherited it. We followed the path that others expected from us because it felt like the right thing to do. Because it felt like a rite of passage. Because it felt safe. But what happens when the role fits, yet your soul feels cramped? In this episode, Destinnee and Eric unpack the difference between your assignment and your identity, your career and your character, your title and your truth. Because your job is something you do.  Your purpose is something you live. What you do is an expression of who you are, but it is not the essence of who you are. This conversation will challenge you to rethink the labels you carry and reconnect with the deeper truth of who you were created to be. If you have ever felt defined by your career, trapped in expectations, or unsure who you are outside of your roles, this episode is for you. 🎙️ Listen now and join the conversation.

    Outgrowing People: Growth Isn’t Disloyalty

    Send a text Let’s be honest. Nobody talks about what growth actually costs. We celebrate healing. We celebrate leveling up. We talk about becoming the best version of ourselves. But we don’t talk about the distance. The silence. The grief. The unanswered texts. The realization that the people you once ran to… no longer feel safe to run to. In this powerful Truth Shot, Destinnee Vance breaks down what happens when you start healing, evolving, and choosing differently — and the people around you don’t come with you. This episode dives into: • The guilt of setting boundaries  • The grief that comes with outgrowing friendships and relationships  • Why growth can feel lonely  • The lie that change equals disloyalty  • How healing exposes unhealthy dynamics  • Why choosing yourself is not selfish — it’s self-respect Outgrowing people does not make you disloyal. It means you’re listening to yourself. If you’re in a season where your circle feels smaller… where it feels quiet… where it feels like you’re walking alone — this episode is for you. Growth will cost you people. But it will give you you. And that trade is worth it.

    You Can't Drag the Old Into the New!

    Send a text New year. New goals. Same habits? 👀 In this raw and real episode of The Blinded Truth Podcast, hosts Destinnee Vance and Eric Foster unpack a truth many people don’t want to face: 👉🏽 A new year doesn’t automatically mean a new you. We talk about how so many of us step into a new season still carrying old mindsets, old behaviors, old trauma, and old excuses—then wonder why nothing changes. We wait for someone else to call us out, correct us, or rescue us… instead of taking responsibility for the growth we say we want. This episode challenges you to ask yourself: What am I still dragging into this new season?What habits am I protecting instead of confronting?Am I waiting for permission to change instead of choosing it?This isn’t about shame....it’s about self-awareness, accountability, and alignment. Because growth doesn’t happen by accident… and you can’t build something new on an old foundation. 🎧 If you’re serious about healing, evolving, and walking into your next season differently—this one’s for you. 💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATION Drop a comment, share your takeaway, and let us know:  What’s one thing you’re leaving behind this year? 👍🏽 Like | 🔔 Subscribe | 📤 Share  Your engagement helps us reach more people and keep real conversations like this going. 🎤 WANT TO BE A GUEST ON THE BLINDED TRUTH?
