Vil, author of the #1 Amazon Bestselling book No More Secrets on Sunday: Shattering Your Silence and Rebuilding the Sacred Space Within You, and co-host Chariece Cylar, this podcast unpacks the unspoken truths of trauma, healing, and transformation.

You've Been in Character So Long You Forgot Who You Are
She was alone in the hospital. Just had a baby. And the first call she got was: be at church tomorrow. Make him look good.
That's where this episode starts.
We got into relationships where you have to perform to keep the peace. Religion that tells you to be the brand, not the person. Marriages where image mattered more than you did. And that slow, quiet thing that happens when you've been in those spaces so long that you look up one day and realize, you don't even know what your favorite color is anymore. You don't remember your own music. You've morphed.
Chariece asked it out loud and it just sat in the air: when do you break character?
And the real answer is, you shouldn't have to. But a lot of us have been in character so long, we forgot we were performing.
If that hits, this episode is for you. Come back with us.
The book is here. The community is open. And we are so glad to be back in this space with you.
