About Me

Picking Up the Pieces

Vanessa Canteberry is the founder of Breaking Barriers Unapologetically, a transformative movement built on her journey from childhood trauma to deep emotional healing. Raised with nonexistent relationships with both parents, Vanessa spent years navigating life in survival mode. As a single mother determined to rewrite her family’s story, she became the first in her lineage to break multiple generational cycles.

Her work focuses on helping individuals heal without apologies, develop healthier relationships, and step into their identity with confidence and purpose. Vanessa is known for her raw transparency, her ability to turn pain into powerful lessons, and her commitment to guiding others through their own healing and restoration.

Today, she is a sought-after speaker, author, and advocate whose message empowers audiences to rise from their past, reclaim their voice, and walk into every room healed and unapologetically themselves.

She’s also a soul-snatching speaker who lets God speak to your soul to stir something within you so you can move. 

Vanessa Canteberry is a ten-times best-selling author. She founded the self-publishing company InspiredByVanessa and has authored several books, including Breaking the Cycle of Brokenness, Do I Not Matter, and Keep Digging. Her books have been featured in various publications, including His Favor Magazine. 

Breaking Barriers Unapologetically is on a mission to bring forth healing and wholeness, as long as you are willing to dig deep. 

If you seek upfront, no-sugar-coating guidance on your healing, Vanessa is the person you want to connect with. She has the heart of a servant leader. 

Breaking Barriers Unapologetically is necessary. If that means taking your peace and power by force to break generational curses, then the time is now—one household at a time.

Stepping Stones

I am grateful for overcoming the various things that transpired in my life and resilient enough to dig deep into my trauma. Owning my part in understanding untold stories leaves room for the next generation to experience what you were too afraid to share. You owe yourself to live a life of abundance unapologetically. Look at God!
