The bravest moment isn’t the breakthrough; it’s the decision to stop pretending. We sit down with author and prophetess Leah M. Kelly to trace a raw arc from generational trauma and domestic violence to faith-led healing, clean boundaries, and an unshakable sense of worth. Leah’s story dismantles the “pretty face” myth with startling honesty—soaked pillows, secret wars inside a divided home, and the heavy cost of keeping up a facade. Then she shows the pivot: surrender, therapy, and the courage to say, “This is not acceptable,” even inside ministry spaces that often prioritize titles over fruit.
We dig into how discernment protects the heart when charisma and platforms can mask impure motives. Leah explains why representatives show up first, how to test for fruit over time, and how to honor God without excusing harm. Her testimony reaches beyond one family or one church; it resonates globally, with readers across cultures recognizing the same patterns of silence, shame, and spiritual confusion. The response to her memoir, A Pretty Wreck: From Trauma to Triumph, sparked unexpected reconciliation within her own family and signaled a wider need for honest, spiritually grounded conversations about abuse, recovery, and identity.
Leah also shares what’s next: Kingdom Voices TV—a platform for women in ministry, authors, and creators—to take their message to the masses with excellence, plus a monthly Zoom class designed to move women from surviving to overcoming with practical tools and faith-centered support. If you’ve ever wondered whether God can redeem your wreckage, or if you’ve questioned the gap between public titles and private truth, this conversation offers clarity, comfort, and a roadmap. Start with one step: come out of denial, name what’s real, and choose worth over silence.
