    Jun 23 2025

    Hey, Sister-friend 👋🏽 Have you ever found it challenging to connect with God, read your Bible, or just be still in His presence? Maybe you’re struggling with feeling close to God, and you don’t know why. What if your trauma is getting in the way? Trauma isn’t just emotional or psychological—it affects the brain, including the prefrontal cortex, which plays a key role in spiritual discernment and impulse control. It also impacts how we perceive God and experience worship. Today, we’re diving into how trauma can affect spiritual growth and intimacy with God. Stay with me because this conversation may be the breakthrough you need.

    I hope this episode blesses and inspires you.

  • 152 | Why Trauma is Not What You Think, and Yes, You Need to Address it
    Jun 9 2025

    Hey, Sister-friend 👋🏽 When I began working with people to help them heal from difficult childhood experiences, I began having more and more conversations at work and with people in general about childhood trauma. We would talk about their struggles, hopes and wishes as it relates to healing from the effects of childhood trauma.

    One thing I began to see was a pattern of women not understanding, minimizing or even dismissing their traumatic experiences. The more I heard it, the more it breaks my heart to hear these lovely women say it, and I want to address it today.

    Many women don’t believe what they experienced was serious enough to warrant seeking help. After all, they did not experience any big events like violent sexual assault, war, or life-threatening situations. This means they often remain stuck in pain with trauma wounds instead of getting the support and healing they need.

    Today I dig into the classifications of trauma, how trauma is actually formed and why your trauma is not based on a particular event.

    I will give space to understand why your experience and trauma wounds deserve to be validated, voiced and addressed.

    I hope this episode brings you some freedom and healing

    In Healing and Love 😊

  • 150 | Can You Control Your Life Better Than God?
    May 19 2025

    Hey, Sister-friend 👋🏽

    The idea of being in control can be intoxicating, especially for trauma survivors. At some point, many of us have tried to do God's job in running our own lives. And I totally understand why. The motive is often self-protection—we want to avoid feeling powerless again. It’s part of the hypervigilance that results from trauma.

    But have you ever considered that your need for control might actually be exhausting you instead of protecting you? Could it be that God has something better for you if you loosen your grip?

    Today, we’re going to talk about why you can’t control your life better than God and how to begin letting go so you can experience safety and the abundant life that is possible.

    I hope this episode blesses and inspires you.

    In Healing and Love 😊
