Beschrijving

What happens when the path to healing is not offered to you, but has to be forged by you? This episode moves beyond the simple choice to seek therapy, into the raw reality of being told there was "nothing to be done" for my trauma-induced neurological condition. I share the isolating experience of being discharged from NHS care with only a vague hope that my brain might "decide" to heal, and the daunting choice I faced: accept that prognosis, or become the fierce steward and advocate for my own mind and body. This is the story of reparenting myself through private oxygen therapy, infrared treatments, and counseling I had to pay for, not as a deviation from faith, but as one of its most demanding acts of trust and perseverance.

S3 Ep6: Final Solo Episode: A Culmination, Not a Conclusion

A Fond Farewell to Solo Stories: Closing This Chapter, Not the Book In this special and significant episode, I bring the solo storytelling journey of I Feel Your Pain to a close. After three seasons of mapping the Foundations of loss, Wrestling with raw anger, and Turning toward integrated peace, this chapter of my voice alone, sharing my story each week, comes to a natural end. I share why this pause is necessary as I turn my full focus to publishing the book, Perfect Peace in Brokenness, which these episodes have helped to birth. This is not goodbye, but a "see you later." I express my deepest gratitude to you, my listeners, for being sacred witnesses to my healing, and I share a hopeful glimpse of what is to come: a future return to the mic to host conversations with other voices and stories. Join me for this reflective culmination, a moment to honour how far we have come and to anticipate the new ways our community will grow.

S3 Ep5: Forgiveness: Releasing the people who did not show up

Forgiveness can feel impossible when the wound comes with a laugh. This episode confronts the deepest cut: betrayal by those closest to you. I share the painful journey of forgiving not just a silent church, but close relatives and friends I had supported for years, people who, when FND forced me to close my business, did not just vanish. Some called to ask what they could now get from me; others laughed and mocked my downfall. We will grapple with the hard command in Matthew 6 to forgive, not as a pardon for their cruelty, but as a lifeline for our own souls. We will also distinguish between the internal work of forgiveness and the external choice of reconciliation, and practice letting go of the emotional debt no one will ever repay.
