In this deeply vulnerable and refreshingly honest episode of The Art of Rebounding, host Harold “Lefty” Williams sits down with someone who has seen every chapter of his life — his wife, Shyneefa Williams. After 20 years of marriage, three children, countless moves, and a journey full of love, loss, purpose, and rebirth, Shyneefa opens up like never before. Shyneefa shares what it really means to find your identity beyond being a wife, a mother, or being connected to someone with a platform. She talks about the moment Lefty challenged her with the questions, “What are you doing for you?” and “Who are you?” — and how rediscovering herself became a turning point in her life. Together, they unpack: Feeling overlooked or tolerated because of who you’re connected to The importance of remembering who you are and whose you are How to build confidence, purpose, and identity outside of titles Navigating marriage, partnership, and raising purpose-driven kids Supporting children through rejection, auditions, and emotional growth Her journey as a stylist, author, educator, and the glue of the Williams family The devastating loss of their child — and how she found a strength she didn’t know existed Learning to carry grief, support a grieving husband, and heal together Shyneefa also shares the stories behind her books, From Mama’s Kitchen and her upcoming family journal — and why food, faith, and storytelling matter so deeply to her. This episode is emotional, funny, honest, and full of wisdom. Whether you’re married, parenting, leading, grieving, or trying to find your voice again, Shyneefa’s story will pour into you. It’s a reminder that identity is not given — it’s discovered. And that every setback can become a setup for strength, resilience, and purpose.
