In this episode of Hold On, Denae Warren shares her story of healing, faith, and identity after a childhood marked by trauma, instability, and starting over with nothing but a suitcase. Together, we unpack five truths you need to hear if your past still shapes how you see yourself. Especially if you feel stuck in survival mode or defined by what happened to you.

Denae opens up about growing up without a safe home, being believed for the first time, and learning how to separate her identity from her trauma. This conversation speaks directly to anyone asking hard questions like “Why can’t I move on?”, “Why do I still feel broken?”, or “How do I stop letting my past control my life?”

If you’ve ever struggled with self-worth, faith after trauma, or figuring out who you are beyond your experiences, this episode offers honesty, hope, and a reminder that healing is possible and your story is still being written.
