Inheritance - on inner healing and God healing trauma Feb 22, 2024

Okay. Hi my friends. This is the final episode to season 5. It is a solo episode, because God had others plans. My guest I’d prepared felt a halt on her heart, and did a little rerouting. This episode is really raw. I recorded this episode from my childhood bedroom, and it’s about as real as it gets over here. I’ve treaded lightly within What was her name when it comes to God. Mainly because I know that there are many wounded by the church here, including me. However I want you to know that I’m sort of “reshaping” my vision here. I did something called an “inner healing” recently and it changed my life. So much so that I texted the woman who did it after and was like, “when can we do another one?!” and since did more. These series of inner healings gave God permission to touch and heal what therapy couldn’t. I’ve tried everything, for years. And while I’m a big advocate for therapy, it can not be your only source of healing. God is the one true healer and he healed memories and lifted a pain supernaturally. And I believe in what happened in these inner healings so much that I have a team actually willing to offer an inner healing for you. I will never not talk about how God healed something in me that could literally only be healed by the healer himself. And I want this for you too. But more importantly he wants this for you. You do not have to live as some trauma bird for the rest of your life. He has freedom for you from that pain. And he wants to replace what has been taken from you. - Joel 2 25-27: will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter, my great army, which I sent among you. “You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, who has dealt wondrously with you.”

There’s so much gold in this episode. I’m standing with you all. I am so grateful for this community. Here is to the end of eason 5! Big love.

If you are interested in doing an inner healing, please dm me.

When abuse doesn't make her immune/ solo ep. with host Miah Hu Dec 28, 2023

Often we feel as though abuse is a one and done. As if we'd done our due diligence and are exempt from any further negative relationship. But in the navigating, I've learned that just because something is safe doesn't mean it's healthy. Without learning how to listen to our bodies we won't know how to honor it. And in the dishonoring we often find ourselves in repetitive circumstances that make it feel impossible to know if what we're encountering is our past trauma or present intuition. And while I'd wish to never have to record another story as such, it's a piece of my story that is to be kept in this space. Because one encounter does not make you immune, and your story or stories - matter.

My stroke story // On the long lasting effects of psychological abuse Aug 24, 2023

On August 23. 2021 2 years ago today, a blood clot traveled up to my brain stopping the blood flow and nearly took my life. At 25 years old I had a stroke that left me paralyzed on my left side, blind in my left eye, short term memory loss, and paresthesia on the left side of my body from my toes to my head. I had to re-learn how to walk, use my left arm, and regain my cognitive function - all in silence. I was forced to quit my full time job, drop out of college, all while raising my boy as a single mother without any child support that year as I fought for not just my life but his. For 2 years I have masked my disability as I navigate family court in pursuit of full custody of my child. After years of strenuous physical, occupational, and speech therapy I am now at a place where my recovery has “peaked” according to science. (not God) Today I have lasting symptoms of numbness on my entire left side, no motor control in my left arm, and short term memory loss. But, I am alive. I am living proof that you do not need bruises to be abused. That emotional and psychological abuse can in fact kill you as the high amount of stress was a factor in my stroke.

This is my living testimony and the miraculous ways in which God has weaved in and out of my journey with his handprints in everything.

I want to thank Sarah and Austin Drake for adding joy to my hospital room, John Dillon for watching movies with me despite not being able to really “see” or “comprehend” it (lol) Amber for bringing me sushi so that I could get a break from rehab food. Pastor Jared Bridge and Anchor church for putting together meal trains and praying for me in the hospital. Nadia for bringing me Starbucks every week and being my friend in the high places and the lowest places. Kate and Justin for being willing to care long term for my son if I had died. My mom for caretaking over me and my son. Brayden for loving me and showing me that my disability doesn’t take away from my worth and pushing me to continue healing. Rebekah Choi for her encouragement as an OT to encourage me not to give up as my healing point has “peaked”. My neurologist Dr. Girotra at UNMH for caring for me and advocating for me. And every single physical therapist, occupational therapist, and speech therapist at Encompass and Press Health plex that joined my team to help me rebuild my life again. I have mad respect for professionals in this field and I do not know where I would be without your commitment to my healing.

S.2 NO Ep.11- unlearning gender based stigma in assault ft. Brenden Campana Aug 18, 2022

Males can be particularly unlikely to report and come forward because victims are thought to be weak, vulnerable, unable to protect themselves and in need of help or assistance. These attributes conflict with many males’ definitions of what it means to be a ‘strong’ man in contemporary society. This is a topic really untouched in my opinion. When a guy is assaulted by a female, male victims may be afraid they will not be believed. And I think we as a society need to reevaluate our own viewpoints surrounding this topic. Because I know for me much of my own beliefs are a result of either media and or my upbringing.And it really wasn’t until I started advocating on behalf of survivors that I realized advocating didn’t pertain only to women but men too. It’s been this un-talked about subject and I think it’s time to learn from this, recognize assault is assault, and rid ourselves of the gender based stigma paired with men victim to sexual assault.

Brenden I’m super thankful you agreed to share your story. Being able to not only hear this ‘story’ but the testimony that God did within your life is incredible. You’re paving the way for others and in turn helping others feel not so alone.

I'm here to share others stories including mine and remind others to set up boundaries and establish rules for yourself in order to ensure safety and protect yourself. And remind you all that nobody is alone, shame is crappy and false because there's nothing YOU did to inflict this assault, and "boys will be boys" is a phrase that frankly needs to be thrown in the trash. There's no excuse, no exception, ever. No means no. And we need to put the word "consensual" in our own dictionary. Because at any point, at any time you can say no.
