After her parents divorced, my guest felt abandoned and badly hoped it was all a dream that she could just wake up from. Dealing with all the brokenness that followed led her down a path of feeling stuck and thinking her brokenness defined her.
Thankfully, she realized that “‘broken’ is what happened to me, not who I am.” In this episode, we touch on that and more:
- How just having the pain of your parents’ divorce validated is incredibly helpful and often the first step of healing
- The many emotional problems she’s had to battle, including anxiety, depression, anger, self-hate, control, and loneliness
- The tendency in people like us to allow fear to hold us back and cause us to play it safe, but how healing can free us from fear
