What if God loves you exactly as you are — beyond fear, shame, and rejection? Phoenix Shepherd (Fenix), author of *Loved Unconditionally*, shares her powerful journey from leaving home at 14 through addiction, trauma, and identity wounds to spiritual awakening and healing.
In this raw and hopeful conversation, Fenix discusses:
• Early rejection, family trauma, and leaving home young
