I hope Shirley finds herself in the office of the right therapist who helps her release the pain she carries and frees herself from the guilt that was never hers to clutch onto.

[@Lzamora1]

Thank you Amanda for having Ms. Shirley as a guest. Thank you Ms. Shirley for your vulnerability and sharing a bit of your story. I hope you look in to therapy and continue to grow as the Queen you are❤

49:13 "If the people helping are not at their healthiest, they can't be at their helpiest" ❤

[@TheAmandaSeales]

😊

[@dbrownn211]

“Prayer comma never prayer period!!!” This was everything I needed right now. Amanda this by far is a favorite episode!!! 😍😍 Thank You!!

[@robyn294]

"Being sold a dream and being dropped off in a nightmare." My goodness. This was an incredible analogy. 😔🙏

[@bootifulbanshee4507]

“Habitual line stepper.” Love that Charlie Murphy reference.

[@normie9566]

[@jinae95]

This podcast was so healing. I pray that Ms.Shirley finds that forgiveness within herself because she’s such a beautiful soul

[@Zeek509]

This episode was such a DELIGHT! I've been smiling from ear to ear this whole episode. Thanks Amanda and Shirley!

[@diniquebunche4438]

This Queen is a national treasure. Thank you for all you do sis.

[@carolyng7128]

Some at work listening to the pod. And I'm in tears, of both sadness and laughter. Because even though they're talking about serious problems in his country, both of these women are hilarious.

[@TooMuchRamshackle]

You two make me so proud to be a black woman. This was a very beautiful conversation and connection between you two. Thank you so much for being in service to your people. Sending love to both of you. Thank you!🤍

[@staceyclark9023]

Thank you Amanda. I really enjoyed this interview and I learned something. We still have angels in this world. Thank you Shirley. May God continue to bless you.

[@TheAmandaSeales]

You are so welcome!

[@camiltb]

55….ma’am Ms. Shirley, your purpose is keeping you all the way together and keeping you going ❤ I love this

[@MSUBERA]

This was so beautiful to watch. Talk about SPIRIT MOVING! We’re blessed to be able to witness that in real time.

[@DrShardeMDavis]

I have been following her ministry for years. I loved this interview and the Queens Sistahs chat at the end. Beautiful from start to finish! Thank you for shining even more light on this amazing woman.

[@rashidacrutchfield2614]

I so enjoyed this. Thank you for the shout out about our work at Cal State University Long Beach and Long Beach City College! So much more work to do. Shirley thank you for your real talk and to Amanda for amplifying these important issues and the lives of folks experiencing homelessness. I truly appreciate the real challenge to the narrative of "choice". There is no "choice" when there are no good options. Quote of the day "there is skid row because there is racism." "Money has never been the issue, opportunity has been the issue."

[@laylawilson8807]

I love this lady!!! She is an angel on earth.

[@StayTru4eva]

Just as I you have to explode and feel the pain we don't want to deal with... I love how you are changing the world one day and action at a time!

[@22221mm]

Ms. Shirley is dropping gems. 🙏🏽

[@weezawinters]

I'm sending this to friends who think that the homeless want to be living in the streets. This was so informative and necessary.

[@flowerreyez6998]

Shirley is amazing! Thank you for having her on!

[@TheAmandaSeales]

We agree!

[@Koah1111]

I think the issue of therapy in this context the accessibility. As someone who has had their safe reflective space become inaccessible because of funding , it can do more harm than good at times if you are not prepared . In no way am advocating not to try, but just recognize that when people are not able to access what you need to get to a place of healing, it can retrigger and traumatize your wounds all over again. Shout out to everyone who chooses each day to show up for themselves in the littlest ways today, that will have the biggest impact tomorrow.

[@thehealer1489]

Shes powerful. The ability to turn pain into medicine to heal herself and help others. ❤

[@lovelytia1]

Amanda 👏🏽the love and support you poured into her way great. Ms. Shirley I pray for your continued healing and walking in your purpose. Thank you for stepping up in this world to help people. It is inspiring and encouraging to continued to step up for all of us! 🤎

[@emilygorey2237]

Shirley is such a radiant person.

[@jaykim6734]

I am lovvvinggg being able to watch it here and really feel the energy of the room!! Thank you for doing your life’s work in our presence ❤❤❤❤

[@thebrightideadevelopers4624]

It has been my experience that a lot of us women are afraid of vulnerability. To show that part of oneself, in front of ALL OF US, is STRENGTH. I pray that Ms. Shirley heals in totality.

[@francescafox9014]
