In this final episode of Season 1, we’re closing out with a deeply needed conversation: how to release the weight of guilt and shame that often follows trauma. Whether you’ve blamed yourself for what happened, struggled with shame about your past, or felt like you’re “too broken” to be loved or used by God—this episode is for you.

Guilt and shame are not your identity. They are wounds, not definitions. And in Christ, healing is possible.

What You’ll Learn:

· The difference between guilt and shame and how they impact your healing.

· Why trauma survivors often internalize blame.

· What scripture says about releasing shame.

· How to challenge toxic thoughts with truth.

· Steps to walk in freedom and self-forgiveness.

Scriptures Mentioned: • Romans 8:1 – "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." • Isaiah 61:7 – "Instead of your shame, you will receive a double portion..."

Listener Affirmation: “I release the shame that does not belong to me. I am not what I’ve been through—I am who God says I am.”

🧡 Final Words from Katie:"Thank you for walking with me through Season 1. Every episode, every prayer, every moment we’ve shared—it’s been about one thing: helping even just one Overcomer take a step toward healing. I pray this season reminded you that you are not alone, you are not forgotten, and you are never beyond redemption. Season 2 is coming soon—and I can’t wait to walk with you again."

Welcome back to If Only One Overcomes! In this episode, we explore a powerful act of healing: setting and maintaining healthy boundaries. If you've ever struggled with saying "no," felt overwhelmed by others’ expectations, or questioned your right to protect your peace—this episode is for you.

After trauma, many of us find it difficult to advocate for our own needs. We may overextend ourselves, fear rejection, or believe we don’t deserve rest or space. But God invites us to guard our hearts and walk in wisdom—boundaries are a part of that sacred calling.

🔑 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why boundaries are essential for emotional and spiritual healing
• How trauma can lead to people-pleasing, guilt, and over-explaining
• Biblical wisdom on guarding your heart and honoring your limits
• Practical steps to identify, set, and maintain boundaries with confidence
• Empowering truths: Saying “no” is not unkind—it’s honest. Boundaries are not barriers—they’re bridges to healthier living.

📖 Scripture Focus: Proverbs 4:23 – “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Luke 5:16 – “But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.”

💡 Affirmation for this week: “I am allowed to protect my peace. I honor my healing by setting boundaries that reflect God’s care for me.”

Episode Summary: In this powerful episode, Katie dives into what it means to reclaim your self-worth after trauma. When life’s pain tells us we’re not enough — abuse, betrayal, loss, failure — it’s easy to forget who we really are. But your identity isn’t rooted in what happened to you. It’s rooted in who God says you are: chosen, loved, and deeply valuable.

Katie shares a personal story of how trauma distorted her view of herself — and how God's truth slowly began to heal and restore what had been broken. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lost yourself in the aftermath of pain, this episode is for you.

🔑Key Talking Points:

• What self-worth is (and what it’s not)
• How trauma damages the way we see ourselves
• The lies we unknowingly believe about our value
• Practical steps to reclaiming your identity and healing through compassion
• Daily affirmations and scripture to anchor your worth in God’s truth

✨Episode Highlights:

• “Trauma whispers lies… but God speaks truth louder.”
• “You are not what happened to you. You are who God created you to be.”
• “Healing doesn’t demand perfection — it invites presence and grace.”

📖Scriptures Mentioned:

• Psalm 139:14 – “I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
• Romans 8:37 – “In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.”

You can’t move forward while holding on to what’s behind you. In this episode, we talk about one of the hardest—but most healing—steps in the journey: forgiveness.

Forgiveness isn’t easy. It’s layered. It’s emotional. And it’s not always instant. But it is a decision you can make for your peace, not their comfort.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• What forgiveness is—and what it’s not
• The difference between forgiveness and reconciliation
• How unforgiveness affects your mental, emotional, and spiritual health
• The healing power of letting go—even if they never apologize
• Practical, faith-filled steps to begin the forgiveness process

Reflection Prompts:

• What belief about forgiveness may be keeping you stuck?
• Who (including yourself) might you need to forgive so you can move forward?

Scriptures to Meditate On:

• Ephesians 4:31–32 – “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”
• Matthew 6:14 – “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.”

Final Encouragement:

Forgiveness doesn’t excuse the pain—it simply refuses to let that pain control your next chapter.

You are not alone. You are not forgotten. You are an Overcomer.
