    Fueled by No’s — with Shanae Strachan How to Transform Pain Into Power
    Jun 18 2025
    Have you ever been told “no” so many times, it started to feel like your name? Like every door you knocked on stayed shut, no matter how much light you carried? In this week’s episode of The Soul Centre Podcast, I sit down with curve model, actress, and immigrant trailblazer Shanae Strachan, who shares the raw, powerful truth of what it means to rise after rejection—and how the “no’s” she received didn’t stop her… they fueled her. From The Bahamas to runways across the globe, Shanae has broken barriers in fashion and film, but behind the spotlight is a journey of pain, self-reinvention, mental health struggles, and deep spiritual clarity. Together, we explore: The moment a “no” nearly broke her How she found her voice in an industry designed to silence her The soul-body connection and how rejection lives in the body Mental health and immigrant trauma in the Caribbean community How to rebuild yourself after loss, betrayal, and public failure The sacred power of Bahamian roots and global representation This episode is for the woman who's been told she’s too much. The dreamer who left home to build something bigger. The one still healing silently behind her smile. You are not alone. And your story isn’t over.
