    Season 1 Wrap-Up: My Story, Your Healing, and What’s Next
    Jul 7 2025
    💛 Episode Summary:

    In this season finale, I reflect on the journey of Season 1—starting with telling my full story out loud for the first time. We talked about grief, narcissistic abuse, reclaiming what trauma tried to take (like voice, worth, and joy), and using somatic tools to support your healing.

    I hope my story helped you feel less alone. And now, I want to hear yours. Season 2 is coming—and I’d love to feature more voices, more stories, and more tools for your journey.

    Do you have a story to share? I’d love to hear it and maybe even share it or invite you to share here on the podcast..

    Let’s keep reclaiming together. 💛

  • Reclaiming Hope with Reverend Dr. Melodie Jones-Pointon

    Reclaiming Hope with Reverend Dr. Melodie Jones-Pointon
    Jun 30 2025
    In this deeply personal and inspiring episode, I’m joined by Reverend Dr. Melodie Jones-Pointon, senior leader at Eastridge Presbyterian Church and someone I call a true hope bringer.

    I first met Melodie during a time when I was wrestling with the aftermath of spiritual harm. Walking into a church again felt nearly impossible—but Eastridge became one of the first places where I felt spiritually and emotionally safe. It was there I attended my first trauma healing group and facilitator training, and it marked the beginning of reclaiming my own hope.

    Melodie and I recently reconnected through an interfaith cohort called Missio-Lincoln, where we didn’t just ask church questions—but God questions.

    In this conversation, we explore what it means to hold on to hope in a fractured world, how to reconnect with it after trauma, and the practices that help us stay grounded. Melodie shares with grace and wisdom about seasons when hope felt distant, the role of faith and community, and how we can create safe spaces for others to heal.

    Melodie’s wisdom, faith, and grounded compassion make this a powerful and timely conversation

    .✨ If hope has felt distant, this episode is for you.

  • Adventure Part 2: The Unexpected Gift of Connection

    Adventure Part 2: The Unexpected Gift of Connection
    Jun 16 2025
    This episode continues my Panama journey as I take a Hop-On Hop-Off bus to the iconic canal and make meaningful connections along the way—with a fellow solo traveler, a generous kindred-spirit, and new friends in Boquete. From hiking mountain trails to surprise birthday celebrations, this leg of the trip reminded me that solo travel isn’t about being alone—it’s about making space for connection, kindness, and rediscovering your strength.
