“I’ll never heal.”
Has that thought ever crossed your mind?
There’s too much pain. Too much trauma stored in your body. Too many horrible memories trapped in your mind. It’s an ocean to cross, and you’re just treading water.
You need deep internal healing.
In this episode, learn how to plunge into the depths of your most profound anguish productively and safely.
Imagine carrying around a backpack full of books from high school.
You aren’t taking those classes anymore, but you always carry the weight anyway.
It digs into your shoulders. It makes you tired. Slows you down. Doesn’t let you truly rest. It keeps others from getting close.
Abuse is like that. It teaches us a lot—lessons no one should ever learn. And lessons we don’t even realize we’re still living out.
So we may escape abusive relationships, but we’re stuck in limbo, carrying the textbooks we think hold the truth about life, love, and ourselves.
Listen to this episode to learn how to be truly free from your past.
Lydia left her abusive husband.
Then she came back.
She found the guts to leave him again.
And returned another time.
In the end, it took SEVEN times for her to get free.
If you’ve been there or if you’re wondering whether you’ll ever get out too, she’s laying it all on the table in this episode.
The BEST PART? She’s thriving. And she’s no longer ashamed of her past.
Learn more about Lydia’s story in this episode and how you can thrive as well.
If you’re like most Christian women in confusing and painful marriages, you’ve tried everything.
You’ve read the books, the blogs, the sarcastic memes, and the devotionals.
You’ve paid for counseling, training, seminars, and conferences.
You’ve asked for advice from other couples, your parents, your pastors, friends.
You’ve prayed and read your Bible and journaled, cried, and begged.
But your marriage never changes. Or it just gets worse.
So what’s the REAL ANSWER? What’s THE ONE THING YOU’RE MISSING?
It’s simple. It’s free. It’s right in front of you.
Do you picture yourself and your children begging on the streets if you dare to leave?
Are you overwhelmed at the thought of making ends meet as a single mom?
Do you wonder how you’ll pay for groceries, much less legal fees, if you escape?
One of the biggest fears for women in abusive marriages is that they won’t survive financially.
And it’s a fear based on a lot of truth.
But it’s not the final say.
Hear from a woman who’s been there, done, and literally wrote a book on it. So don’t turn back.
If your life is already a tough pill to swallow, taking more medicine is the last thing you want to do. Gross.
But what if it’s the “best medicine”? The type that makes you laugh-cry, hold your sides, and snort with glee.
Laughter and joy and humor can transform the darkest days, the bleakest seasons, and the hardest nights.
And no matter what you’ve been through, you really can experience their life-giving power.
I talk with prolific laugher, Sara Richmond, about how.
