In this conversation, Karen R. F. Mitchell sits down with Sharlyn Russell for a powerful and deeply honest conversation about childhood, identity, survival, and the beginning of her story behind her upcoming book, Lame No More.Sharlyn shares what it was like growing up between Abaco, Freeport, and Nassau in The Bahamas, the memories of island childhood, and the moment life began to change when instability entered her home.This first part opens the door to a larger story about what happens when childhood innocence meets family pain, displacement, silence, and survival.This episode is for the woman who has ever allowed something that happened to her to convince her it was who she was.You are not the label.You are not what happened.And your story is not over.Lioness Question:What happens to a little girl when the place that should protect her becomes the place she has to survive?Subscribe to The Empress Lioness Podcast for real conversations about healing, identity, womanhood, survival, purpose, and becoming.The Empress Lioness PodcastWhere spirit roars and the soul remembers.#TheEmpressLionessPodcast #HealingJourney #Becoming👑 Welcome to The Empress Lioness with Karen R.
