Summary
In this week’s episode, I’m joined on the couch by Gloria Umanah for the very first time on In Totality, to share her story of survival, identity, and the war for her life.
We unpack the seeds of trauma planted in childhood, the quiet despair masked by performance, and the miracle of choosing hope. Gloria opens up about her lifeversary, and how one whisper from God changed everything.
If you’ve ever wondered if your pain disqualifies you from purpose, or questioned whether God sees your suffering, this conversation is for you. You’re not too broken. You’re not a burden. You are essential to the story God is writing.

| 0:00.0 | What's up fam? Listen, if you've been blessed by in totality the podcast, then I want to personally |
| 0:06.5 | invite you to go deeper by joining our Patreon community called The Village. Every Tuesday |
| 0:12.5 | morning, the Village members get early access to the full episode of the podcast two days |
| 0:18.4 | before it drops publicly on YouTube. |
| 0:24.9 | So while everyone else is waiting, you're already soaking it in. |
| 0:26.7 | But that's just the beginning. |
| 0:31.9 | As a village member, you get exclusive access to the Inotality docu-series. |
| 0:36.3 | It's a behind-the-scenes look at how I walk out my faith in real life. |
| 0:39.2 | No filters, no fluff, just real moments of me trusting the Lord, processing life, and growing in truth. We also do live book club Zoom calls |
| 0:45.2 | where we read and grow together in the word. I'm not just talking at you, worth walking |
| 0:51.0 | through it together, asking questions, wrestling through scriptures, |
| 0:55.4 | learning to follow Christ more fully. |
| 0:57.8 | You know, like that Romans 12, you'll also get bonus content, extra conversations with |
| 1:03.3 | podcast guests that go even deeper, plus moments that didn't make it to the episode, |

| 1:10.8 | And one more thing, |
| 1:11.9 | when you join the village, you get first access to merch before it drops public. So if you love |
| 1:18.3 | the message and you want to rep the movement, you'll get first dibs every time. But more than the |
| 1:23.8 | content, the village is about community. It's a safe place for believers to connect |
| 1:29.4 | and grow and be reminded that you're not doing this walk alone. You're a part of something real. |
| 1:35.2 | We're building something special and we would love for you to be a part. So hit pause. |
