In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with Roselene Thomas, who shares her deeply personal story of choosing love over tradition. Growing up in a family where arranged marriages were the norm, Roselene made the courageous decision to marry someone she loved—outside of her faith and cultural expectations. That choice, while rooted in love and authenticity, brought painful consequences, including conflict and distance from her family, especially from her father, with whom she had always shared a close bond.

Roselene opens up about the emotional journey that followed—the heartbreak of losing connection, the weight of guilt and misunderstanding, and the long road toward forgiveness and healing. Through reflection and time, she found the closure and peace she needed to reconcile her love for her family with her need to live truthfully.

This episode is a powerful reminder that following your heart can come with both loss and liberation, and that healing is possible even when the path is complicated. Roselene’s story beautifully illustrates the courage it takes to honor your own story, even when it means rewriting the one you were given.
