Family… this one right here is for the people who’ve been carrying pain quietly.
In this episode of the Love You Moore Show, I sat down with Coriya Burns for a conversation that was honest, freeing, and way deeper than I think some people were expecting. We talked about divorce, pressure, pretending, church culture, motherhood, self-worth, and what it really looks like to stop performing and finally walk in truth.
Coriya shared how she and her ex-husband hid their divorce for over a year, how her son saw through it all, and how God began to release her into a brand new season. And not gon’ lie… this conversation has something in it for anybody who has ever stayed too long, carried too much, or lost themselves trying to hold everything together.
There’s a level of freedom on the other side of honesty.
And this episode proves it.
