Only My Face Was Smiling: When the Woman Who Fixes Everything Finally Chooses Herself - Denise Benz
In this deeply vulnerable episode of Sacred HERstory , Jennifer Natasia sits down with author, business consultant, and longtime self-development professional Denise Benz , author of the memoir Only My Face Was Smiling . Known throughout her career as "The Fixer," Denise built a reputation for seeing what wasn't working, solving problems, managing crises, and helping others move forward. But beneath that strength lived a woman whose childhood experiences had taught her to stay vigilant, accommodate others, and keep moving—even when she was hurting. Now, Denise is entering a different season. A season of self-care, self-love, self-celebration, and finally allowing herself to be seen. Together, Jennifer and Denise explore childhood trauma, emotional masking, relationships, faith, survival, writing as a form of truth-telling, and what happens when the woman who has spent her life fixing everything realizes: Maybe I don't need to fix anything right now. Maybe it's finally time to choose me.
