What if facing your deepest pain could lead to the most profound healing? Join me, Tonya Shellnutt, as I open up about a childhood trauma that shattered my sense of safety and trust, setting off a lifelong journey of healing and self-discovery. This episode of Courageous Overcomers explores the enduring scars trauma can leave, from rewiring our brains to altering our emotional responses and identity. I share how building emotional walls seemed like a refuge but ultimately became a prison of isolation and fear. Together, we'll examine how confronting these barriers, rather than burying the pain, can illuminate a path to hope and healing.

In our conversation, I celebrate 30 years of sobriety and reflect on the transformative power of community and faith. You’ll hear insights into breaking free from the shackles of unworthiness and self-doubt, and the importance of taking small, courageous steps forward. This episode isn't just about my story; it's an invitation to join a community of courageous overcomers. Subscribe, leave a five-star review, and share this journey with someone who might need encouragement. Plus, get ready for a delightful twist in an upcoming episode featuring my favorite person—a blend of laughter and tears awaits. Reach out to me via email with your questions or struggles; they might just be featured in a future episode. Let's spread hope together.
