Episode notes

Ever wondered if you're sabotaging your own love story? In this raw and revealing episode, host Laterras R. Whitfield sits down with Johanna King, a woman whose journey from nightclub bottle service to street evangelist showcases the transformative power of faith and self-discovery.

Johanna candidly shares her experiences with heartbreak, including a whirlwind 19-day engagement that ended in chaos, and her pattern of friend-zoning the very man who might be her husband. Through tears and laughter, she reveals how past trauma, including two abortions, shaped her approach to relationships and how God's healing power allowed her to break destructive patterns.
