145: Healing Through God's Grace: How Blessing Your Traumatizers Can Lead to True Freedom

Healing doesn’t stop when you leave the relationship. That’s often where the real work begins.

In Part 2, Megan and Julie go deeper into what it actually takes to heal trauma at the root — emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. Julie shares how her journey moved beyond basic recovery into deeper, Holy Spirit–led healing that changed how she saw herself, others, and even the people who hurt her.

They talk about why triggers are not setbacks but invitations to healing, how safe community helps regulate trauma responses, and why understanding your worth through God’s love is foundational for lasting freedom. Julie also shares how a profound spiritual experience reshaped her sense of purpose and strengthened her calling to help other women break free from survival patterns.

This episode is for the woman who has already done some healing but knows there is still more. You’ll be reminded that healing is not about shame — it’s about becoming whole, reclaiming your voice, and learning to live from identity instead of fear.

Your past does not disqualify you. It prepares you.
