Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of abuse and trauma.

This week on The Blueprint, Yanique sits down with Devon Croom—author of Abused But Not Broken, minister, leadership coach, and founder of Women Warriors Group. Devon opens up about early trauma, why many women stay, the code system she used to leave (411/911), and the tools that rebuilt her life: faith, therapy, journaling, sisterhood, and purpose-driven leadership.

We also get practical on imposter syndrome, stage jitters, boundaries, burnout, and what it really means to be “salt and light” in every room. If you’re in a hard season: you are not alone. There is help, there is hope, and there is a way forward.
