In honor of today being 11 months in therapy as someone who has survived child abuse and narcissistic abuse, I want to share 11 things I've taken away from my time on the couch that have enabled healing to happen.

I am not a doctor nor is this to replace any health care providers recommendation for your own personal treatment, but is a goal to encourage anyone, especially those of faith that is okay to seek help, and that there is hope.

Hope always starts in Jesus.
The Gospel : 1 Corinthians 15: 1-5

After a few month hiatus I am back behind the mic. This podcast is rooted in encouraging those in their faith, but in that there's also the sharing of struggles, struggles that have been stacking up over the last year.
Today in this part one of two series, I'll be sharing about these moments that have caused me to hang on to Jesus for dear life, moments that have to do with recovering from narcissistic abuse, the healing journey with someone who lives with PTSD/CPTSD, and other fights while juggling a full and normal everyday life.
I'm stepping out in faith by being open and vulnerable to my fellow saints in hopes that they will feel less alone, and more bold in knowing that despite how life looks, no matter how we feel grasping for peace, love and joy in Christ, that one tiny fringe of His garment is enough to keep us.

Be sure to follow up with part 2: Glimpses of the Garden.
The gospel is contained in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, be sure to renew your mind in that truth, that we are complete and secure in Christ once we have believed and put our full faith and trust in His finished work.

This is a part two in the following of the last episode where I share my struggles, in contrast this video is to shine a light on God's goodness through it all.

My hope is that you'll be encouraged to view life through the lens of His grace amid the struggle, the roses amid the thorns.

The gospel is contained in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, remind yourself daily of the life we have in Him, because of Him. That we can boldly walk knowing He has our back--by faith. Faith in the blood.

Today I process a new development in the estrangement situation that exists between my family and the neighbors across the street AKA my estranged parents. Life in 2026 continues to challenge us in profound ways while also providing avenues for joy and gratitude. I also share on my latest combination round of plastic surgery; the experience and results about 5 months out.

If you're struggling with a myriad of things, just know that we are warriors for Christ and when that's the case, we need disclipine aka training. I realize more and more that this experience that I'm going through isn't shocking as we all have our cruces to bear. and this one is mine. Whatever challenge you're facing, know that you're not alone and that God will get you through it. He is near to the brokenhearted, and He is faithful and will do it.

Are we having fun yet? Short answer: no, not really.
And ya know what? That happens.
Even as believers we experience trials and tribulations that test our ability to keep going, to keep trusting in what God has for us.
Today I share more about how God keeps separating me from groups/people that aren't benefitting my growth, and using it to teach me to discern amid the disappointment and difficulties it has brought me of late.

Need encouragement these days? Take a listen and know you're not alone.
Need to be reminded of the blessed hope we have in Christ?
Open your bible to 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 and renew your mind in the gospel, and through it that we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing, because of how good God is. That's right, even when our life seems to speak of heartbreak and chaos; He is faithful and is already using it for our good, and the good of the body of Christ. Amen.

Well well well, life has continued to stay pretty spicy amid the healing journey.
What healing journey? The journey to discover and create a safe life by surrounding myself with people who support me, as well as manage the PTSD condition that I've been diagnosed with after a lifetime spent being abused by my covert narcissistic birth person, as well as surviving the toxic environment of a narcissistic family cult.
My faith in Christ, in the gospel, has been the foundation in which I am able to move in liberty and grace to do what's necessary to do just that. And man, have I needed that this last week as I found myself cutting a person loose that has been in my close circle for 20 years.

Sometimes we think that we can handle the differences that divide an unbeliever from a believer, or that we can fix people who are not able to handle reflection, or look at themselves and their need for the truth.
And sometimes we just realize some people are not safe for our healing, or supportive in the ways we need them to be.
That we can't be whatever they need us to be, either.

Press play and be encouraged in your faith, inspired to take the necessary steps to prioritize your healing journey, and potentially learn from my mistakes--being comforted by the comforts I've been given from God in our mutual faith.

Need to explore the gospel? Start here knowing the gospel isn't do, it's done. and it's easy. Simply believe on Christ's finished work. His death, burial, and resurrection for life everlasting the moment you believe.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4

Today I do a brief checkpoint on life, and then dive into how the revelation about the world's activities should be affecting us as believers. It's never been more clear the times we are in. I want to encourage my sisters in Christ that its none of ourselves, and not a time to go back to works to be ready for Christ, but to stay abiding in His faithfulness.
Lighten people's load with the good news, don't put a burden on others that you yourself don't even manage.

You can find the gospel starting here:
1 Corinthians 15:1-4

We're headed into our third year together, and kicking it off with a fresh new season. What will it entail? Only the Lord knows, but it's starting with an episode where I open up a bit more to you guys about my backstory, how it played into who I am today, and how the Lord has taken me through and shown me I can do hard things, and here's the thing: so can you.

As you know, it all starts with the gospel of grace.
Putting my faith and trust in the finished and redemptive work of Christ changed my life, and it continues to morph and grow as I lean into what He has for me, as I rely on Him for all things---but especially my peace and sound mind.

I pray this episode blesses you-and that you know that you've been given the freedom and grace to go after what you need to have peace in your life, too.

Where can you find the gospel? In the Word, it's all over-but start here:
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
