Every person faces trauma in a different way—either now or later when it comes unexpectedly.

It’s true for many of us. Trauma happens and the results can be ugly. Some of us have the support needed. Some of us numb it out. Some of us suffer silently.

Reader, thank you for the well-messages after my email last month and for the encouragement to keep doing what I’m doing.

In the past, I would have just hidden away in my cocoon and never invited you into what was happening in my inner world.

I’ve always valued taking the time to heal but didn’t think it was possible to be transparent in the midst of the process.

I held a belief that to be transparent, I must first be “fixed”. Clearly, that was a lie from the pit of hell, trying to keep me from connecting with you and holding/creating this space for us to all go on the journey together that God takes us on.

In this coming Sunday’s GFB episode, I’ll share what happened last month and the beautiful new place I’m in as a result.

I got a reminder this past week about how we’re more effective at helping others heal when we’re not ministering to them from a hurt place. That rings so true to me.

Yes, we all have areas that haven’t fully healed. And that’s okay. Because there’s still a part of your story where healing has fully taken place and you can encourage someone else.

I invite you to welcome God into the hurt places on a deeper level in this season. Remember you’re like an onion with many layers. Sometimes we think we’ve got it all figured out, and then God says, “Oh, there’s more sweet daughter.”

That’s the beauty of this journey though. There’s always more joy, glory, and healing to be had. It makes me excited for what’s to come.

God’s not done with you yet. You already have a history with him and yet there’s still more history to be made.

So today I’m sharing two episodes.

The first is Episode 65, where I talked about the 9 Ways Trauma Breeds Self-Sabotage.

One of the first steps to healing is awareness. So in episode 65, I’m highlighting 9 ways that trauma creates self-sabotage in your mind, in your relationships, and in your life.

I just completed a coaching program focused on having more command of your thoughts, an effective technique that helps us be transformed and achieve mental fitness. In this episode, I introduce you to the core information behind the new work that I’m doing to help as many women as I can to heal from childhood trauma. Tools I’m already using effectively with my clients and even my family.

Our latest release, Episode 66 is our newest release. In the last interview, we heard the wise words of Clint Hatton. The conversation was so packed with wisdom that bringing his wife Amárillys was the best way to keep the conversation going.

Clint and Amárillys Hatton have a track record of perseverance and a strong bond in marriage. In this episode, we talk about:

• how to stay united in your marriage
• how to make decisions together as a couple
• how to stay together during difficult times
• how God can bring healing even when facing what feels unbearable
• how they stayed committed to following God even after facing the loss of a child

Listen to this episode to be encouraged in your marriage, have your faith strengthened, and get to know how Clint and Amárillys are fulfilling their purpose.
