Give Me What I Need, Not What I Want: Faith, Health & Self-Rescue
In this powerful episode of Shaping Freedom, host Lisane Basquiat sits down with Dr. ShantaQuilette Develle — a wellness educator, content creator, and heart health advocate whose journey of resilience has inspired millions. After surviving a heart attack and multiple strokes, Dr. ShantaQuilette transformed her pain into purpose, using humor, honesty, and faith to spark conversations about healing, self-advocacy, and joy.
Dr. Develle opens up about the ego-driven version of her former self and how life’s hardest moments forced her to listen deeply and realign with her divine purpose. Through heartfelt storytelling, she shares lessons on letting go of control, embracing gratitude, and recognizing that true purpose isn’t what we do — it’s who we do it for. Her perspective invites listeners to reframe adversity as an invitation to grow closer to God and themselves.
The conversation dives into the importance of women, especially Black women, becoming active participants in their own rescue — in health, faith, and life. Dr. ShantaQuilette stresses that “treatment doesn’t always take place in hospitals; it takes place in habits,” urging listeners to advocate fiercely for their wellness, listen to their bodies, and take accountability for their healing.
Closing on a message of empowerment, Dr. Develle reminds us that reinvention is always possible. Healing isn’t perfect — it’s a process. By extending grace to ourselves, setting boundaries, and finding joy in small things, we can live fully and intentionally. As she says, “You have to be a participant in your rescue and in your reinvention.” Learn how to set boundaries without guilt.
