Living Slow, Living Sent: Rhythms of Faith in a Fast-Paced World

In this episode, Tanya Gioia sits down with Addie Ott—author, creative entrepreneur, and founder of gentle and lowly co.—to explore how to find quietness, maintain identity in Christ, and experience God’s presence in everyday moments.


Addie shares her journey of slowing down in a fast-paced world, offering practical wisdom for connecting with God amid life’s noise. From laundry to dishes, she reframes ordinary tasks as opportunities for prayer and worship. This conversation is a lifeline for anyone feeling depleted, overwhelmed, or struggling to find time for God while managing family, work, recovery, or caregiving responsibilities.

  • Recognize signs of spiritual depletion early and seek support from trusted friends.

Faith Over Addiction | Biblical Idenity and Boundaries for Loving Someone with Addiction
The struggle to be still and listen to the voice of God in a noisy world

In this deeply moving episode of Faith Over Addiction, host Tanya Gioia welcomes Catholic singer-songwriter and recording artist Lorraine Hess for an honest conversation about navigating life's darkest moments through faith. Lorraine shares her unique journey into ministry music, releasing her first album at 40 after earning a master's in pastoral studies to bring depth and authenticity to her songwriting.


From reaching those who've lost hope and felt disappointed by God to writing contemporary arrangements of traditional prayers, Lorraine's music speaks to people experiencing real suffering. Drawing from her own experiences with Hurricane Katrina, a devastating house fire, and walking alongside friends through unimaginable loss, she offers a witness to how God's presence becomes visible only in hindsight.


Lorraine encourages brutal honesty with God in prayer and the practice of journaling as a way to discern His voice. She introduces the powerful concept of switching from the "lane of self-pity" to the "lane of gratitude," sharing how scientific research shows gratitude releases dopamine and changes our physical and emotional state.


Lorraine also discusses her upcoming book "After the Miracle," which explores the untold stories of what happened after biblical miracles—reminding us that once we've been touched by God, we have a responsibility to be witnesses for others.

This episode offers practical wisdom for anyone struggling with addiction, loss, family challenges, or feelings of abandonment, showing how small victories and honest prayer can lead to healing.



Key points:


  • Prayer & Presence: Being honest with God, embracing silence, and moving from reciting prayers to true dialogue.
  • Journaling: Using journaling for spiritual discernment and songwriting inspiration.
  • Suffering & Hope: Seeing God’s presence during personal and community tragedies, understanding redemptive suffering.
  • Gratitude: Switching from self-pity to gratitude and its emotional and spiritual benefits.
  • Identity & Worth: Restoring identity through faith, especially for women in caregiving roles.
  • Practical Steps: Celebrating small victories, reading Scripture reflectively, and journaling gratitude daily.


Lorraine also discusses her upcoming book After the Miracle, exploring the untold stories after biblical miracles and inspiring listeners to witness God’s work in everyday life.

Faith Over Addiction | Biblical Idenity and Boundaries for Loving Someone with Addiction
Finding Your Identity in Christ: From Overwhelmed to Overcomer with Anna McLaughlin

Join host Tanya Gioia for an intimate, authentic conversation with Anna McLaughlin—entrepreneur, life coach, homeschooling mom of four, and host of the "Overwhelmed to Overcomer" podcast. In this powerful episode, Anna and Tanya explore what it truly means to ground your identity in Christ, especially during life's most challenging seasons.


Fresh from dealing with her own difficult day, Anna vulnerably shares how she practices leaning into her unchangeable identity in Christ when circumstances feel overwhelming. Together, they unpack the profound truth that our identity isn't dependent on our thoughts, actions, or emotions—it's immutable and secure in Him.

This conversation weaves together Scripture, personal testimony, and practical wisdom as they discuss:


  • The practice of abiding (John 15) as our primary work
  • Learning to be still and let God fight our battles (Exodus 14:14)
  • The balance between grieving well and choosing joy (Nehemiah 8:10)
  • Breaking free from spiritual "fatness"—taking in without giving out
  • Finding the courage to show up and serve even in our mess
  • God's supernatural provision when we step out in faith
  • Seeing the banquet table prepared for us, even in the presence of our enemies (Psalm 23)


Anna shares the transformative story of how God called Tanya to sponsor a child through World Vision during her separation—when $35 seemed impossible—and how that act of faith has resulted in 15 years of faithful provision. They also explore the wisdom found in recovery rooms, the danger of the "savior complex," and C.S. Lewis's powerful image of the dwarves in the stable who couldn't see the paradise around them.


This episode is for every woman sitting on the couch wondering how the rent will get paid, every person feeling spiritually exhausted, and anyone struggling to see God's abundance in the midst of very real hardship. Anna and Tanya remind us that we are beloved, that nothing is wasted, and that our identity in Christ cannot be shaken—no matter what we face.

Faith Over Addiction | Biblical Idenity and Boundaries for Loving Someone with Addiction
Being Seen and Feeling Safe: Finding Your Identity in Christ

In this powerful conversation, host Tanya Gioia sits down with Kristen Wambach—author, speaker, podcaster, and ordained pastor—to explore the profound connection between being seen by God and experiencing true safety. Kristen shares vulnerable stories from her journey, including facing humiliation in a 6,000-member church choir and discovering divine guidance through unexpected signs (like a timber slug on her kitchen counter!).


Together, they unpack practical ways to build trust with God through journaling, how to stay "seated in heavenly places" above life's onslaught, and why letting our spirit lead—rather than our subconscious mind—changes everything. Whether you're feeling unseen in your own home, struggling with self-forgiveness, or trying to find safety amid chaos, this conversation offers tangible tools and spiritual wisdom for women seeking to anchor their identity in Christ rather than in circumstances.


Key Points:

  • Many people don’t feel seen, but God always sees us and provides true safety.
  • Journaling builds a history of God’s faithfulness and deepens trust.
  • True safety comes from our identity in Christ, not circumstances.
  • Nothing can separate us from God’s love (Romans 8:37–39).
  • God uses unexpected prompts to guide us and teach self-care.
  • Self-forgiveness and quick forgiveness are vital to resist the enemy’s lies.
  • Trust with God grows through vulnerability and recording His words.
  • We may be the ones God placed in our families to stand boldly for Christ.

Faith Over Addiction | Biblical Idenity and Boundaries for Loving Someone with Addiction
Finding Strength in Scars - Avonley Lightstone's Journey of Resilience


Join host Tanya Gioia on the Faith Over Addiction Podcast for a deeply moving conversation with author Avonley Lightstone, whose story of survival and faith will leave you forever changed.


At just three years old, Avonley tried to save her mother from a devastating house fire while her father lay unconscious from drinking. Though she survived with severe burns covering much of her body, her mother tragically died after three agonizing days in the hospital. What followed was abandonment by her father, placement in an orphanage, and eventual adoption into a family where emotional, physical, and spiritual abuse became her new reality.


But this isn't just a story of trauma—it's a testament to the incredible resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of faith. Through years of struggle, including battles with suicidal thoughts and spiritual warfare, Avonley discovered true forgiveness, learned to hear God's voice clearly, and found her purpose in helping others heal.

In this raw and honest conversation, Avonley shares:


  • The harrowing details of the house fire and her painful recovery process
  • How abandonment and adoption led to years of abuse and identity struggles
  • Her journey through different spiritual practices and the dangers she encountered
  • The pivotal moment when God told her "You did all you could. Now give it to me."
  • What true biblical forgiveness actually looks like
  • How she broke free from victim mindset and suicidal ideation
  • Her calling to help others find healing and give God a chance


This episode contains difficult subject matter but offers profound hope for anyone who has experienced trauma, abuse, family dysfunction, or spiritual confusion. Avonley's transparency about her darkest moments—and God's faithfulness through them all—provides a roadmap for finding beauty in brokenness and strength through scars.


Content Warning: This episode discusses house fire, severe burns, child abuse, suicidal ideation, and spiritual warfare. Listener discretion advised.

Faith Over Addiction | Biblical Idenity and Boundaries for Loving Someone with Addiction
Finding Peace Through Loss

In this deeply moving episode, Tanya Gioia welcomes Leah Chrest, author of "At the Edge of the Jordan" and "It's Okay to be Okay," Christian meditation teacher, and contemplative blogger. Leah shares her profound journey of loving someone struggling with addiction and the transformative path from control to surrender.

Faith Over Addiction | Biblical Idenity and Boundaries for Loving Someone with Addiction
Surrendering to the Flow of Life with Amilynne Carroll

Join host Tanya Gioia for an incredibly powerful conversation with AmiLynne "Babs" Carroll, a certified Holistic Practitioner and Holistic Life Coach who has transformed profound personal challenges into a ministry of hope and healing. After receiving an expiration date from doctors in 2007 and later experiencing a stroke that left her quadriplegic in 2022, AmiLynne shares how surrendering control led to her most fulfilling life yet.

In this deeply moving episode, AmiLynne reveals how we're not meant to change who we are, but rather remember who we've always been - God's perfect, whole, and complete children. She introduces practical tools like the "Yellow Light Process" and explains why taking "mommy timeouts" isn't selfish but essential stewardship of what God has given us.


From her journey through multiple cancer diagnoses to finding peace as a quadriplegic, AmiLynne's story demonstrates that our circumstances don't define our wholeness. Her nickname "Babs" (badass butterfly) came from courageously intervening in a domestic violence situation, embodying the truth that butterflies can fly even with 70% of their wings damaged.


This episode will challenge listeners to examine what they're trying to control that belongs to God, how to find their "soul sisters" for support, and why every situation contains both a lesson and a blessing. AmiLynne's vulnerability and wisdom offer hope for anyone feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or struggling to surrender control.


Key Takeaways for Listeners:

  1. You are not broken and don't need fixing - you need remembering
  2. Every situation contains both a lesson and a blessing
  3. Control is an illusion; command centers require community
  4. Self-care is stewardship, not selfishness
  5. God is always present, especially when we feel most alone
  6. Course corrections are normal and necessary in life's journey

We're butterflies - designed to fly even when damaged

The Neuroscience of Trauma Bonds with Dr. Angela Deulen

Welcome to Faith Over Addiction, where we explore your identity in Christ. This podcast centers on women who have been caring for loved ones who are struggling with addiction and may have lost themselves or abandoned their relationship with God in the process.


In this powerful episode, host Tanya Gioia interviews Dr. Angela Deulen, who brings a unique Christian perspective to neuroscience with her clinical background, PhD, and true calling to share Jesus with others. Together, they unpack how we get neurobiologically hooked into relationships - revealing that it's not just our minds that connect, but our bodies create actual chemical bonds too.


Key Points Discussed:


  • The Oxytocin Connection
  • Survival Mechanisms from Childhood
  • Biblical Perspective on Relationships
  • Breaking the Trauma Bond Cycle
  • The Nervous System Connection


About the Guest:

Dr. Angela Deulen is an expert in behavioral neuroscience and neurotheology who combines clinical psychology with a deep Christian faith. As an adult child of an alcoholic family who attended AA meetings throughout childhood, she brings both personal experience and professional expertise to understanding addiction's impact on families. Her approach emphasizes that science must be interpreted through Scripture, not the other way around.

Reclaiming Feminine Power with Alegria Moran

In this deeply vulnerable and transformative conversation, Alegria shares her journey from rock bottom in Japan during the 2011 earthquake to finding spiritual recovery through the 12-step program. She discusses the complex relationship between shame and healing, the practice of living in the present moment, and how she reclaimed her authentic feminine power after years of survival-mode living.


Guest Bio

Alegria Moran is a recovery advocate, coach, and author whose name means "happiness and joy." After overcoming a decade-long struggle with addiction and prostitution, Alegria has dedicated her life to helping women exit the adult industry and break free from shame cycles. She is 14 years clean and sober, living in Dublin, Ireland, and is currently writing her book "I Want Out."


Core Insights

  • Letting Go Paradox – Freedom comes from accepting thoughts and feelings, not fighting them.
  • Shame Recovery – Healing shame is a daily practice; stay present to avoid past/future traps.
  • Subconscious Loops – 95% of thoughts are subconscious; awareness breaks repetitive cycles.
  • Authentic Femininity – True feminine power flows from authenticity and intuition, not manipulation or appearance.
