Healing The Hidden Wounds – Episode 5
Words That Heal, Not Break
In this episode, we reflect on the power of words —
how they can either wound deeply or bring healing into families, relationships, and communities. Theme: Speaking Life, Not Wounds.
Many of the deepest wounds are not caused by actions, but by words spoken carelessly, repeatedly, and without healing. True recovery begins when we choose words that build rather than destroy. This series is part of the Silas Mkoba Foundation’s Family Recovery work,
supporting individuals and families affected by grief, long-term illness, and emotional hardship.
Episode 4 — Boundaries That Build Peace
Real love doesn’t demand your exhaustion.
Setting boundaries isn’t rejection — it’s protection.
When you guard your time, energy, and heart, you make room for healing and peace to grow.
Episode 3
When disability enters a home, it changes everything — routines, relationships, and expectations.
This episode of Healing the Hidden Wounds explores the hidden emotional impact of disability on families. Beyond physical challenges, there is grief for what has changed, fear of the unknown, and the quiet weight carried by both caregivers and loved ones.
Through honest reflection, we acknowledge the exhaustion, guilt, and unanswered questions many families face — while also honouring the resilience, love, and faith that grow in unexpected ways.
This conversation invites listeners to recognise emotional wounds, honour both the caregiver and the cared-for, and remember that seeking support is a sign of wisdom, not weakness.
If you are living with disability, caring for someone you love, or supporting a family on this journey, this message reminds you:
You are not alone. Your pain is seen. Healing can still take place — together.
Episode 2 – Healing Without Revenge: Freedom from Bitterness
This episode explores how holding onto revenge can quietly imprison the heart, while forgiveness opens the door to true freedom and peace.
Through honest reflection, it invites us to recognise bitterness not as strength, but as a wound that needs healing. Revenge may promise relief, but it prolongs pain; healing begins when we choose release over retaliation.
This message encourages listeners to lay down the burden of resentment, trust God with justice, and allow healing to break cycles of hurt — not only for ourselves, but for generations to come.
Listen, reflect, and share with someone who may be struggling to let go, seeking peace, or longing for emotional freedom today.
Episode 1
Explores why people hurt others and invites us to look beyond behaviour to the unseen wounds beneath.
This reflection encourages understanding instead of judgment, healing instead of retaliation, and compassion over blame. Through lived insight and gentle truth, this episode reminds us that unhealed pain often speaks through harmful actions — and that healing begins when pain is acknowledged, not passed on.
Listen, reflect, and share with someone who may need hope, clarity, or reassurance today.
