Hey, Gorgeous! I’m Nia D’Nea, and this is the space where we walk boldly into becoming HER through Christ—whole, healed, feminine, and purpose-filled.

On this podcast, I share my journey of falling in love with Jesus, growing into a Proverbs 31 woman, embracing my femininity, healing my heart, and letting God put together the pieces of my purposed puzzle. My hope is that as you listen, you begin to see yourself the way God sees you—loved, chosen, and destined for more.

Every episode is transparent, raw, faith-centered, and created to help millennial women step into their God-given identity. Here, we talk faith, healing, womanhood, self-love, discipline, relationships, and becoming the woman God calls you to be.

In this episode, we sit down with Shaila Carter—a woman whose life is a masterclass in quiet determination and radical transformation. Known by her friends as "Shy," Shaila is the creative force behind Shi’s Closet and Shi’s Crafts, but her true "powerhouse" status comes from a heart that has been refined in the fire.

The title of today’s episode, "Single but Not Forgotten," speaks to the season Shaila has walked since 2021, following the unexpected end of a four-year relationship. Shaila pulls back the curtain on her most difficult chapter: a miscarriage in 2020 that led to a battle with postpartum depression and a loss of self. She shares how she navigated the grief of losing a child and a relationship at once, and how she found herself again through the weight of it all.

Now, following her baptism on September 28, 2025, Shaila is walking in a brand-new season of purpose. From discovering her gift as an intercessor at the age of 13 to learning how to trade "anger" for "peace," Shaila’s testimony is for every woman who feels like she is waiting in the wings.

What you will hear:

• From Anger to Intercession: How a 13-year-old girl’s simple prayer to remove a "mean spirit" birthed a lifelong relationship with God.

• The Silent Grief: Navigating postpartum depression after a miscarriage and the journey to reclaiming her body and identity.

• Single but Not Forgotten: Finding contentment and "the holy grail" of balance while being single since 2021.

• The Entrepreneurial Spirit: How Shaila pours her heart into her brands, Shi’s Closet and Shi’s Crafts, while learning to rest in Jesus.

• The Baptism Transition: What life looks like when you finally go "all in" for Christ.

In this profoundly intimate episode, we sit down with Co-Pastor Keshia Haliburton, better known as Lady K, a woman whose life is a tapestry of service, sacrifice, and spiritual authority. Serving alongside her husband at Family of LOVE Outreach Center in Kansas City, Keshia is the definition of a "First Lady" who leads with her heart on her sleeve.
The title of today’s conversation, "The Tears of a First Lady," moves past the public-facing grace of leadership to explore the private weight of intercession. Lady K shares the reality of balancing life as a mother of five and a business owner in the beauty industry with a 13-year journey in foster care ministry. Having opened her home to over 30 children with intense emotional and behavioral needs, Lady K speaks candidly about the tears shed in the quiet hours—the tears of a mother, a healer, and a leader who refuses to give up on the broken.

What you will hear:
• The Heart of a Foster Mother: The emotional toll and the spiritual reward of supporting over 30 children through healing and stability.
• The Burden of Intercession: What it really means to be a "prayer warrior" and the tears that come with carrying the weight of a community.
• Beauty from Ashes: How her career as a cosmetologist and permanent makeup artist allows her to restore confidence on the outside while ministry restores it on the inside.
• Leading with Vulnerability: Breaking the "perfect" First Lady stereotype to show that strength is found in our most honest moments.
• Family & Foundation: Navigating 13 years of specialized ministry while raising her own three daughters and two sons.

Raised in the church under the leadership of her parents, Pastor Williamson and First Lady Thelmecya of Destiny Church, Malaya was called to be an intercessor at the tender age of three.

The title of this episode, "The Weight of an Intercessor," speaks to the raw reality of carrying a divine calling while feeling completely helpless. Malaya shares her transparent journey of trying to numb her pain through self-medication while struggling as a single mother to keep it all together.

Malaya is living proof that God can use every broken piece of your past to build a future of authority and grace.

What you will hear:
• The Burden of the Calling: What it really means to be called as an intercessor at age three and the fear that causes many to run.
• Healing Through the Fog: Malaya’s brave account of overcoming abuse, depression, and the cycle of self-medication to find her way back to the altar.
• The Strength of a Mother: How she navigated the "highs and lows" of motherhood and friendships to grow into the wife and daughter in Christ she is today.
• Walking into the Unknown: The power of trusting God’s guidance even when the vision feels clouded, and the peace that comes with finally saying "Yes" to the call.

In this incredibly raw and powerful episode, we sit down with the resilient and inspiring Taliesha Shockley for a conversation that delves deep into the intersection of faith, trauma, and calling.

Taliesha bravely shares her personal journey through some of life's darkest valleys, including her experiences with rape, domestic violence, the grief of miscarriage, and the ongoing battle with depression.

For years, Taliesha wrestled with the feeling of being "disqualified" by her pain and past, especially while actively serving in the church and striving to walk in her spiritual calling. This episode is a testament to the truth that our wounds do not disqualify our purpose.

What you will hear:

• How to reconcile deep personal suffering with a strong spiritual calling.

• The struggle of maintaining faith and service while navigating mental health challenges like depression.

• Taliesha’s wisdom on finding strength, healing, and voice after experiencing trauma and abuse.

• A powerful reminder that your anointing is not canceled by your affliction.

This conversation is essential listening for anyone who has felt broken, counted themselves out, or wondered if they are truly worthy of the path God has set for them.
