In this episode of The Blueprint Podcast, Yanique sits down with Daneil Dunkley for a raw and deeply moving conversation about rebuilding life from the ground up.

From moving to America from Jamaica at age 20 to navigating divorce, toxic relationships, and the shame she carried after becoming pregnant again, Daneil shares her powerful story with honesty and grace. She opens up about giving birth at 23 weeks to a micro-preemie weighing just 1 lb 7 oz, facing homelessness with a newborn, and the moment a doctor reframed her understanding of strength forever.

This episode is for anyone struggling with self-worth, healing from heartbreak, or trying to find God in the middle of a storm.
