About
What Is The Freed Up Experience?
The Freed Up Experience is a multi-platform healing journey rooted in honesty, compassion, and faith. It was created to break the silence around childhood trauma and create space for truth, conversation, and restoration.
Through storytelling, we explore how trauma shapes lives—and how freedom begins when silence no longer has the final word. This work centers lived experience, emotional healing, and the belief that peace is possible, even after years of pain.
The Journey
The Journey Behind the Experience
The Freed Up Experience began as a personal act of truth-telling and has grown into a layered storytelling movement.
It started with the memoir I’m All F’d Up: The Story of My Life, accompanied by the song and music video You Are the Source of My Strength. These works marked the beginning of naming trauma, surrendering pain, and choosing faith over silence.
That journey continues through film with The Door, a four-episode web series exploring the doors trauma opens in our lives—and the peace found when we open our hearts to Jesus instead. Each episode represents a step toward healing, freedom, and restoration.
Healing didn’t happen all at once. It happened one door at a time.
