Why do some people push themselves so hard—even when they’re already doing too much?

In this powerful episode of Courageous Overcomers, we explore the hidden connection between trauma and performance-based living. Host Tonya breaks down five reasons why survivors often fall into the trap of overworking, overachieving, and never feeling “enough.”

You’ll learn how early wounds shape the need to prove yourself, how performance becomes a coping mechanism, and how to finally lay it all down and rest in God’s truth.

This episode is for the overfunctioners, the perfectionists, and the high-achievers still carrying invisible pain.
You don’t have to earn your worth. You don’t have to keep performing.
You are already loved. You are already chosen. You are a Courageous Overcomer.

Welcome to Courageous Overcomers, where we share real stories of faith, grit, and healing. Today’s guest is John Mollura—a man who went from launching rockets for NASA to launching people into their purpose.

After facing deep personal pain and burnout, John made a bold pivot. He left the world of high-pressure engineering to become a portrait photographer, coach, and speaker. Now he helps people silence the lies that keep them stuck and step into the courage it takes to live fully alive.

In this episode, John opens up about his own moments of fear, loss, and doubt and how God used them to shape something far greater than he imagined. His story is a reminder that it’s never too late to shift gears, reclaim your identity, and become who you were made to be.

Welcome to Courageous Overcomers, where we face the pain, fight the lies, and rise with faith and resilience.

Today’s episode is not an easy one—but it’s a necessary one.
We’re peeling back the layers of deception—the deeply rooted lies women have been told… and believed.

Lies like:
"God can't forgive you."
"Your decision will bring shame to your family."
"Ignoring it will make it go away."

But silence doesn’t heal.
And a lie, when left unchallenged, becomes a quiet prison.

Maybe you've carried shame in secret. Maybe you’ve buried the guilt so deep that even you stopped looking. But here’s the truth: God sees you. And He doesn't shame you—He invites you into healing.

Today, we’re sitting down with Catherine and Chris to confront these lies head-on. With courage, honesty, and grace, we’ll expose the false narratives—and replace them with the truth that sets women free.

Because the truth is: you are not alone. You are not disqualified. And you are not beyond redemption.

This episode is for every woman who’s ever whispered, "I can't tell anyone..."
It’s time to bring it into the light.

Together, we are Courageous Overcomers. Let’s dive in.
