What would you do if a car accident left you with a scar across your face?

That's exactly what happened to Peculiar Medinus, a Nigerian author, career coach, and former journalist, and it led her to ask one life-changing question: "What does ugly mean to you?"

In this conversation, Peculiar shares the lessons and experiences that shaped her journey and how she came to see beauty from God's perspective.

Alana also shares some insights and lessons on how the meanings of the words we hear and use shape our reality, where those meanings come from, and how to choose meanings that will empower us.

If you've ever struggled with the way you see yourself or in finding the beauty in your life's journey, this episode is for you.

IN THIS EPISODE:

  • Why defining ugliness as harmful choices, and not just appearance, shifts everything
  • The inner virtues that reveal true beauty
  • The personal story behind What Ugly Means to You, and how a scar became a symbol of survival and purpose
