If you’ve ever wondered why you still feel stuck, or doubted whether you’re making progress, this conversation is for you.

Episode 4 Season 5: You Don’t Have to Earn Your Worth
Description Do you ever feel like there’s a specific area of your life where you struggle no matter what you do? I spent years doing all the “right” things—vision boards, affirmations, money mindset work, deep dives into my blocks, all in hopes of becoming someone who deserved abundance. But no matter how hard I worked, nothing changed the way I hoped. The promises of the law of attraction and prosperity gospel started to feel like gaslighting—like if it wasn’t working, it must be my fault. I...

Episode 3 Season 5: Celebrating Progress, Not Perfection
Description: If you’re feeling tired from trying to hold everything together perfectly — you’re not alone. In today’s episode, we’re having a real, honest conversation about what it looks like to choose progress over perfection. We’ll be looking at it through three lenses: first, how perfectionism shows up for just about everyone when we tie our worth to our performance; second, how it runs even deeper for trauma survivors, where perfection sometimes became a way to stay safe or avoid harm; a...

Episode 2 Season 5: Restoring Identity: Remembering Who You Are in Christ, Not in Trauma
When you’ve experienced trauma, it can be hard to separate who you are from what you’ve been through. The way trauma affects the brain can leave you with deep-seated beliefs that you are unworthy, broken, or beyond healing—but that isn’t the truth. You can feel like you're always reactive, angry, and afraid. In this episode, we explore how trauma distorts self-perception and how both psychology and faith offer pathways to reclaiming your identity. We’ll talk about how the brain forms false na...

Episode 1 Season 5: Harmful Statements Trauma-Uninformed People Say & What to Tell Yourself Instead
Description: In this first episode of the season, we’re tackling the impact of words—how well-meaning but uninformed people and abusers use language to dismiss, shame, or control survivors. These statements can keep you stuck in self-doubt and isolation, making it harder to trust yourself and your healing process. We’ll break down common phrases that invalidate and gaslight, then reframe them with trauma-informed alternatives that affirm your experiences and support your growth. We break this...

Episode 16 Season 4: Embodying Authentic Joy After Trauma
Description:It can be easy to get caught up in what happened to us, in difficulties, and in the healing work so much, that forget why we're doing this healing work, to experience more joy! The following saying resonated with me and inspired this podcast: "You're not healing to be able to handle trauma. You're used to trauma. You're healing to be able to handle joy." Joy is one of the fruits of the spirit and a fruit of our healing labors. God wants us to not only experience joy, but to embody...

Episode 15 Season 4: Six Types of Self-Care and How They Can Help Your Recovery
Description:Many of us heard growing up that self-care was "selfish" or "ungodly." However, no one can give from an empty well, and even Jesus escaped the crowds for rest, solitude, and time with God. We all need forms of self-care to heal and restore our bodies, minds, and souls. Healing from trauma requires a holistic approach to self-care, addressing all aspects of our well-being. There are six categories of self-care: physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and practical. Each of ...

Please keep in mind that having a certain level of narcissistic traits can be healthy in a balance. However, narcissism exists on a spectrum with some people having higher narcissistic traits, and even some who have full blown NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which is in the DSM).

Knowing the difference between blame and self-validation, finding the balance between knowing what happened to you and taking ownership of healing, and finding the line between self-compassion and victim mindsets can make all the difference in your healing journey.
