Clifford Mack shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Clifford , a huge thanks to you for investing the time to share your wisdom with those who are seeking it. We think it’s so important for us to share stories with our neighbors, friends and community because knowledge multiples when we share with each other. Let’s jump in: Are you walking a path—or wandering?
I can say with confidence, that I’m walking a path that’s finally going to bring me joy, peace, healing and all the things that I’ve prayed for. While some of us have walked a path of uncertainty, confusion, and chaos (including me). In this season of my new chapter, I’m focusing on what’s in front of me, and that makes me very happy.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
The Peeling Off The Layers podcast, is unique and special due to its focus on educating and healing through authentic conversations and personal stories, particularly within the context of self-compassion and women’s empowerment. My personal commitment to education and healing, coupled with my role as a devoted mother, further underscores the genuine and relatable nature of my podcast. I knew that with my own experiences with life struggles and as a single mother, I still remained a woman who desired better. I knew deep down there was a community of women who could relate to me, but also could benefit from a non-judgmental space and human that fosters empathy and compassion. That’s why Peeling Off The Layers Podcast was created.
But before I could truly dedicate myself to something that was created out of my gift, I had to let go of my own fears, and shame if I was going to help others and tell my story. I’m excited to announce that I’m currently working on a weekly blog that will foster hope and healing, for women looking community, and a series of Children’s Audio Bedtime Stories that will help guide them towards God’s love. Peeling Off The Layer Podcast : Kids Edition is coming soon!
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
The bonds between people can be broken by various factors, often stemming from unresolved conflicts, manipulative dynamics, and a lack of trust or respect. Conversely, these bonds can be restored through a process that emphasizes communication, empathy, forgiveness, and a commitment to rebuilding trust and establishing healthy boundaries.
What I’ve learned from my own experience is that a person can only wear the “mask” but for so long and when they show you who they really are believe them. It’s not my or your responsibility to fix or change anyone’s behavior. Going to Therapy for my own trauma really helped me navigate through life’s challenging moments and helped me better understand in depth the essence of connection, healing, and partnership. I’m happy to know that I’ve done THE WORK!
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
I would tell my your younger self to trust the process and understand that every challenge is a stepping stone to growth and self-discovery.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What’s a cultural value you protect at all costs?
The cultural value that I tend to protect and advocate for would have to be ‘Self-Improvement’. The cultural value of self-improvement is important because it drives individuals to continuously enhance their personal routines, skills, and overall well-being, fostering personal growth and contributing to societal advancement. I believe we all have the power to change our situation, and if we’re doing nothing about than that tells me one enjoys living in their own “victimhood.” Be the change you want to see.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. Are you doing what you were born to do—or what you were told to do?
I believe that I am, and I know that I’m headed into a brighter future. Greater and Bigger blessings are on the way. My purpose is helping and guiding those into faith, hope, and healing. My gift is doing just that.
