Yeah, I remember writing in my journal just crying out to God, like, God, make me bigger.

Let me be able to do this.

Like I can't, if I was bigger, I could.

If I had more emotional capacity, I could.

Like, I just can't, you know?

I just felt my humanity in that moment and I felt like God was saying, like, only Jesus can hear. And you're not me. You know, like, you're not, you don't have the same stamina because I never called you to be her savior. Like, you can't be her savior. But I so badly wanted to.

I wanted to.

I wanted to.

Are you ready to talk to me?

My name is Deborah Felata and I'm a licensed professional counselor, national speaker, and author. Through my blog, books, and

podcast, I have the privilege of helping millions of people get healthy mentally, emotionally,

spiritually, and relationally. The purpose of this podcast is to have on-air, authentic,

counseling-style sessions where we talk about how people are really doing and give my guests

and callers an opportunity to talk to me as a licensed professional counselor. Each of these

episodes is meant to show you that we are all on the journey of healing, mentally, emotionally,

spiritually and relationally, together. None of us are immune

to the challenges and struggles of life, but we don't have to walk this path alone. I'm so proud

and honored to be having these conversations with men and women who are courageously paving

the way for open and honest

conversations about their personal journey of healing. So if you're ready, let's talk.

Today on the podcast, I'm excited to have Haven Wheats joining me. She's a new friend of mine,

so it's nice to have you today. Nice to have you as well. I feel like I get the side of I feel like I know you a little better because I've read your books. And I'm excited to get the opportunity for you to know me a little better. Yeah, I am looking forward to it as well. Haven, why don't you take a moment to tell us a little bit about yourself?
