Healing Out Loud: Our Story on The Steven & Cecelia Show

At Ya Enough, we believe that silence is where trauma lives, but your voice is where healing begins. We recently had the incredible opportunity to sit down with The Steven & Cecelia Show to share the heart and soul behind our mission.

If you’ve ever felt like your past defines you, or like the system was designed to keep you small, this episode is a "must-watch." Here’s a glimpse of what we discussed:

Breaking the Cycle of "Sucking It Up"

We dove deep into what we call the "belly of chaos". For generations, many of us were taught that crying is a weakness and that we should just "tough it out." We talked about the raw reality of unlearning those patterns so we can show up better for ourselves and our children.

From Victim to Visionary

Damaris shared the harrowing story of her 2020 experience—being forcibly silenced in a mental health ward for simply speaking her truth. That moment of injustice wasn't an end; it was the birth of Ya Enough. We discuss how we turned that pain into a platform for community advocacy and support.

Sisterhood as a Lifeline

The bond between Sarai and Damaris hasn't always been easy, but it’s been essential. From navigating a cancer diagnosis to supporting each other through grief, we explored how finding "your person" is a critical part of the recovery process.

Reclaiming Your Name

One of the most emotional moments of the show was the reading of the poem "Spell Your Name". It’s a tribute to everyone who has been treated like a number or a diagnosis rather than a human being. It’s about taking your power back from the systems that tried to take it away.

Why You Should Watch

Whether you are currently navigating a court case, struggling with institutional trauma, or just need to know that you are enough, this conversation is for you. We aren't just talking about problems; we’re building a community of survivors who are ready to lead.
