From Pain Into Purpose
A Journey of Healing Through Story
Created by Mel Haffenden, From Pain Into Purpose is a powerful, faceless storytelling project born from real-life experiences of trauma, grief, and personal transformation. Through emotional voiceovers, pencil sketch animations, and healing reflections, Mel shares her path from brokenness to growth—inviting others to connect, reflect, and heal alongside her.
From Pain Into Purpose is more than a project—it’s Mel Haffenden’s living memoir, told without showing a face but revealing every emotion. Blending raw voiceovers, delicate sketches, and original music, Mel creates a space where silence speaks, wounds breathe, and healing becomes art. It’s a space for anyone carrying pain to feel seen, heard, and gently guided toward their own purpose.
