Mold, Rot, and the Feelings We Hide

 


 
What do dry rot and black mold have to do with emotional healing?

In this deeply personal episode, Brenda shares a surprising discovery during a simple home repair that revealed something hidden—not just in her walls, but in her heart. As black mold and decay were uncovered behind her windows, Brenda realized she had also been carrying hidden emotional toxins: long-ignored sadness, quiet loneliness, and deep unworthiness.

Using her signature marine analogy, Brenda reflects on how our outer world often mirrors what we suppress inside—and how powerful healing happens when we finally make space for what we’ve avoided.

Tune in for a story of emotional release, self-forgiveness, and the courage to feel.
