02:06girl how you doing kimberly girl i'm so happy to have you it's it's terrible hey i have to come

02:14down i'm just i'm excited i'm excited to have you definitely definitely i'm excited to be here as well

02:21thank you so emptiness we've i think i've i've had emptiness before to the point where you know

02:28depression kind of settled in for a minute there but but you can't be depressed when you have so

02:33many amazing people like yourself coming on the show so what inspired you to write emptiness and

02:38and how did these experiences shape you the message of your book uh it's a god-inspired work

02:46uh is rooted into my personal journey uh it reflects the pain and the hurt that i experienced

02:52from childhood even in into adulthood i lost my mom at a very early age uh although my biological

02:59father was present i feel i still struggle with the feeling of abandonment uh and so living uh with

03:06my aunt and living with others uh i still felt uncomfortable unwanted uh violated at times um but even in

03:16this experience i may have a testimony that god gave me his power of healing and so it is revealed

03:25uh in this book how he meets us in our brokenness and restore us from the inside out oh my

03:32gosh my

03:33gosh i'm so sorry that you lost your mom soon i i mean you know it it affects the loss

03:39of a parent

03:40a loving parent i'd have to say i have to define that is traumatic no matter when you lose but

03:47there's an

03:48emptiness or a void of maybe learning from that person if you lose them too soon and so you know

03:55that i can i can i can't i can empathize with you but i don't understand it you know what

04:00i mean because

04:00it didn't happen to me it happened to me in the later and later in life but it still hurts

04:05because

04:06you know you love them you love them so how do you define emotional emptiness and

04:13emptiness and why did you you think so many people struggle with that

04:19it's an emotion that is um suppressed uh unresolved and when these feelings um they they develop over

04:30time uh due to the that undressed pain or trauma uh or that behavior pattern that we build so when

04:38this

04:38happens it leaves us um untreated uh it take root uh it began to shape our thoughts it began to

04:47shape

04:47our behavior our identity and then it begins to just be pour out of our heart and so to do

04:53that

04:54you're not realizing in due time you are taking what you feel on the inside and you're living it

05:00out day to day you're pouring it on other people that don't deserve it so it's those emotions that have

05:06not been resolved needing to be resolved they've been suppressed over the years and i just think that

05:12uh it becomes a void it becomes that that emptiness inside of us that needs to be sealed and god

05:19is

05:19the only one that i know that can feel it because he's in mind true that true that true that

05:25i'll tell

05:26you what we got to just go there true that you know my gosh my gosh you know so i

05:33i understand

05:35how this has shaped you but but can you just can you share a personal story or antidote from the

05:42book

05:42that highlights your journey from the emptiness to spiritual fulfillment um so one will be it started

05:51you know a lot of it starts in your childhood so again i lost my mom when i was six

05:56years old

05:57uh i had a family member to come in and try to keep the family together uh in the midst

06:03of that um

06:05being a young child didn't know just wanted to be loved but i was violated uh i was molested i

06:12uh

06:14i was uh my virginity was taken and i was i was just violating it so that led me as

06:21i got older as a

06:22teenager as a young adult um that you know you become promiscuous you become looking for love in all

06:28wrong places and you you trying to find and feel that void that hurt get rid of it uh feel

06:35like

06:35you're worthy um don't feel ashamed and guilt and so it just came to a point where i had to

06:42reach out

06:42and i i you know uh reached out to spiritual leaders and they prayed over me and talked to me

06:48um reading the word um not knowing exactly what i was understanding and getting clarity as i do today

06:56but it helped me and then just being open and honest about where i was and just allowing the

07:03word the the mentoring um to bring that up up root that out of me so now today i know

07:10what true love is

07:11and i wouldn't i know what true love looks like i hear you i hear you wow i'm so sorry

07:17you know i don't

07:18know many people who have not been molested that's sad it is that's sad it's really truly sad i don't

07:27know many people even even the people who are really really kind of like hovered over as a child by

07:34their

07:34parents some of them slipped through the cracks too um because it was a family member or someone that

07:40they thought they trusted and and obviously they could not trust them so yeah it can be a friend

07:49a family member it could be at school and for me it was a family member yeah my gosh my

07:56gosh so

07:57how can someone begin to invite god's presence into their inner void when they're feeling

08:02distant or disconnected from faith one you have to i i truly believe you got to acknowledge the feeling

08:11um be honest with what you're experiencing um take action and that action will be is to get uh

08:20with someone that is of strong faith um someone that is rooted that can um navigate you uh help

08:30facilitate you through the word uh really uh tarry with that person um to help you because it's not

08:36something that's gonna um be you're gonna be healed of overnight but taking those actions um beginning

08:44to address the root cause where did this come from where is them from because a lot of times we

08:49don't

08:49want to go back and visit that we don't want to visit where it started from what is the root

08:54of it

08:54and then seeking that help seeking that help uh don't be afraid to reach out for support um

09:00whether it be spiritual whether it be someone that uh you you know that you can truly confide in

09:06and then in that time frame just allow god just to heal you and it just comes over time

09:13allowing him to heal you inviting you into the inviting him into the process

09:18so you're healed yeah so are there any daily practices that you suggest people do or or any

09:24steps that they you recommend they they they do to fulfill their emotional emptiness uh with spiritual

09:31wholeness well as far as me it's it's more of i do read the word i i i do read

09:40the word a lot

09:41i i just i i do a lot of worshiping uh thanking god for where i am because i know

09:47it could have been

09:48a total different outcome for me yeah um just uh seeking that that daily meditation of living um i know

09:57we can't all live or we we should strive to live a stress-free life um decluttering our minds of

10:05other

10:06people um thoughts about you it becomes hard but decluttering your mind and just focusing on truly

10:14who i am and who i want to become um and you know reading devotionals help me um reading books

10:23uh

10:23concerning the areas where i felt empty at uh anger bitterness how do i get this under control

10:30not so much of a coping mechanism but how can i handle this and and uh acknowledge the triggers

10:38when it happens um so that i can cope with you know deal with it in a better in a

10:43more positive way

10:45um helps me so that's why i included the the devotion at the end of the book where those different

10:51feelings that i felt i created a a reflection um a mini devotion with a reflection and then you have

10:59time to write about how you feel and then there's a prayer to close you out sweet sweet you know

11:06i

11:06know that a lot of people have support when things like that happens you know um some people have told

11:12me that no one believed them when they told them that this happened what kind of support system did

11:17you have behind you and did you reveal that in the book um the support system that i had behind

11:23me

11:23is i um i had a spiritual mom and then i had a um a young lady that um i

11:33drew uh close to and confided

11:35in she was much older than i was uh at church and we talked about uh the things that i

11:41was facing

11:42and a lot of times i just journal my feelings um i just journal what i felt and um if

11:50when i needed to

11:51really compartmentalize them you know i reached out to them and talked to them um and then you know

11:59of course uh i was able to uh become a part of a ministry and that uh pastor there really

12:06helped me

12:06to see you just like a dead fig tree you got leaves but your fruit is dead because of the

12:13roots um that

12:15said at the end of it and we just he just acknowledged all the you know showed me all my

12:20roots and he just dealt you know in counseling he just outside of counseling him and his wife supported

12:27me you know just having that support system helped me get through it yeah yeah uh you know you know

12:35how

12:35when you read a book and you can read between the lines what would be one of the things that

12:39is

12:39between the lines in your book that most people would probably get

12:45um they will probably get this is this young lady is um she's open about how she's feeling because she

12:55has a a desperate desire for others to be to be healed um to be whole um because when we're

13:05not

13:07we just that impacts that that really impacts others in a in a a very negative way um and so

13:16to be able to see themselves in the book as they're reading it and realizing that hey i'm not in

13:23this

13:23alone there is someone um that has gone through this and now can walk me through it um i think

13:31that's what

13:31they'll get out of it because oftentimes we feel like we're alone in this um that we're the only

13:36one feeling these pains and feeling the hurt and feeling the disappointment until we really um began

13:42to communicate with other people or read other uh articles um you know yeah books that we can relate to

13:52um yeah what was the one piece of information that you got from someone else that you put in the

13:59book

13:59like something that uh something that you kind of live by now that you got from someone uh older than

14:05you or someone more experienced than you before you wrote the book or is there there um i was reading

14:12a book and i stand by it and i oftentimes uh being a school teacher i tell this to my

14:19students um we're

14:22not defined by our environment um and so sometimes we look at our environment and we allow it to define

14:30us and we we move in that motion we move in that way but our potential uh our life our

14:38purpose our plan

14:39is not defined by our environment do our environment have uh some kind of foundation or some kind of

14:44impact yes but do i have to live in in that moment or what the environment showing me every day

14:53you know i see the alcoholic i see the the verbal abuse so do i have to live that no

15:01because that's

15:02not my plan that's not my purpose that's not my life and so i read that in a book um

15:08and it you know

15:09it really stuck with me that you never let your uh environment define you because your environment can be

15:15compact of a whole lot of different things yeah yeah well you know i absolutely love what you've done

15:22you've taken it and you've healed yourself how long did it really take you and are you still going

15:27through that healing process because i know that sometimes you know i revert back to oh my gosh i

15:33can't believe she's gone i can't believe he's gone you know what i mean and it's like i feel like

15:36an

15:36orphan sometimes like i i need to be in an orphanage or something but i'm i'm too old for that

15:41but you

15:41know sometimes i just kind of revert back and it's just it's hilarious to think that way but at the

15:46same

15:46time it's like you feel that way you know because the one person that you used to go to is

15:53no longer

15:53available so um i am still in some areas because some things as i got older um that i i

16:03had i dealt

16:04with as as being as an adult um that i'm still healing from and that that was um things i

16:11experienced

16:12in my marriage but uh far as my childhood and coming into being a young adult even today i

16:19sometimes often think about how how would it have been or how would my life have been if my mom

16:25was

16:26still here you know how would it have gone and sometimes i play those moments where you know she would

16:33come in from work get those fresh crispy cream donuts and we just sit in there drinking orange juice

16:40and then we lay up on the couch together and watch young and the restless you know and i think

16:46about

16:46those moments and i was like well i wonder what would it really been like but i also think about

16:51um

16:53now i can you know i went through all of that and god healed me about to get it get

16:59emotional he healed

17:01me at the right time because now i didn't pour those emotions and that hurt into my children yeah

17:10and i was able to show them love the love that i didn't receive as you know after my mom

17:16passed away

17:17um received as i was growing up yeah everybody was doing the best they could to be present for my

17:23brothers you know my siblings and they was you know everybody was doing what they could to be

17:27you know a provider but nothing can take a place of the mom where you know where is mom and

17:33you know

17:33being healed at the right time when it came to me having children of my own so now i can

17:40show them

17:41real love i can embrace them and you know they don't have to experience this anger they don't

17:46have to experience this bitterness that i had you know but they did experience some of the resentment or

17:52you know that i felt as i you know being you know with my husband you know we going we

17:56went through some

17:57things but now we are at a very peaceful place and you know it hurt um when my son say

18:03you all at the

18:04best place of your life right now and i was like oh well you was really paying attention we thought

18:09we

18:10was hiding everything um but you know but as far as my childhood i just thank god that you know

18:16he gave

18:17me that right in the nick of time you know to really be able to cultivate them in a loving

18:23environment

18:24that you know they can build their you know they they're going to have their own emotions

18:29their emotions is not built off of what they parent poured into them um so that's that that's the beauty

18:36of it yeah i hear you i hear you and it's beautiful that our lives are not really reflective of

18:42our parents

18:42lives that our lives are can be different and can be more fulfilling and you know sometimes we just

18:49don't know the plan of the most high and we just have to roll with it just have to roll

18:54with it you

18:55know and i'm glad that you are healed in some aspects and still healing in others and that your

19:00marriage is going well you know that it's it's important that we learn and try to impart in our

19:08children what we didn't have as children uh and i know a lot of people say well you're trying to

19:14make up for something you didn't have yeah yeah i am i am i literally am yes yes and so

19:21yeah it's not

19:21an insult i am really doing it and i love that you put your book out emptiness and that you're

19:28you're

19:28talking to people who may have felt empty and and may still feel empty and may have lost their

19:37parents at a young age and just never been able to maybe recuperate from that and and fill that void

19:45you know if you were talking to someone face to face and you had to tell them something from your

19:52book or you know talk to them about it and kind of get them started what would you tell them

19:58hmm it's a lot there um i would tell them to um

20:13let release the pain and place it with joy happiness peace um because

20:26carrying that pain for so long we don't realize that it deteriorates the inside of us

20:36sometimes our sickness don't necessarily come from food or it don't necessarily come from

20:42another genetic it comes sometimes it comes from the pain and the hurt that has been so rooted in us

20:50for so long and it overwhelms us i would tell them to elect release the hurt it will be it

20:59will do you

21:00well to release it because then it would allow you to experience the peace and the joy that god has

21:10for

21:10us and even as being a non-believer there is still a joy for you there is still a life

21:16or peace for you

21:17all you have to do is release your hurt just release your hurt if if you are not a believer

21:23of god you can still release your hurt and experience something that you never experienced

21:29before that will make you feel so much better on the inside because believe it or not our trauma our

21:36pain our disappointment when we hold on to it's just like cancer it just spreads it spreads and it

21:43takes over your thought process and it it takes it just really takes over you and then have you in

21:50a place of depression i don't want to do i don't want to go i don't want to move and

21:54then before you know it

21:56life has passed us by but if we just release it acknowledge it take action seek help and just allow

22:07god to heal you and if you don't if you're not a believer whoever you have been led to to

22:13be your

22:14support african-american people don't believe in going to psychiatrists and they i ain't laying on

22:20nobody couch i ain't giving nobody all my business but that's the best place if you're not going to give

22:26it if you're not going to if you're not faith if you're not a believer over to god and wait

22:31on him to

22:32do it then go to go to one and allow them to heal you because your hurt hurt other people
