Tamara Winstead joins us this week for an utterly amazing episode about survival, defying the odds, and the transformative power of manifestation, when faced with an unimaginable ultimatum! In 2009, she was diagnosed with stage four cervical cancer while 8 weeks pregnant with her third baby. The doctors told her she should terminate the pregnancy in order to begin immediate treatment, they didn't think both her and her baby could survive. That news hit her like a ton of bricks, she was paralyzed by fear. She couldn’t imagine losing her son or herself, and it shook her to her core. But her mother, who has always been a guiding light, reminded her of something powerful: “Don’t let them take your gift.” Those words stuck with Tamara and sparked a shift. Instead of surrendering to the fear and the medical advice, she chose to turn inward. She turned to manifestation—focusing on healing, envisioning a future where her and her son both thrived. She believed that her mind, her energy, and her intention could shift her reality, no matter what the doctors said. Join us and hear the whole story, as today, Tamara is cancer-free, and her son is here, healthy and thriving.

Rachael Needham went through divorce a few years ago, however most of the trauma she experienced was in her toxic marriage. As a Christian woman, she wrestled with the thought of divorce and all that was subtly implied at the thought of divorce. Even though her parents, who were were both pastors, supported whatever decision she made, it was quite a few years before she eventually got ‘unmarried’ because of her religious surroundings.
Rachael has written a book to help others figure out if divorce is a healthy choice for them. That in itself was a whole other level of daring, as she was so afraid to be open about such a topic, when many branches of Christianity have views on divorce that say one thing: you stay married at all costs. Rachel does not agree with this message at all, and even finds it to be unbiblical, yet trapping so many, especially women, in unhealthy marriages.
This is such a great, honest, and eye opening episode. Thank you Rachael!

TRIGGER WARNING: Discussions or multiple forms of abuse.
Lynn Stroud was brought up in a house filled with anger and tension, with a father who was a compulsive gambler. On top of that, her father and one of her brothers became overly protective towards her, and would dicate where she was allowed to go, what she could wear and who she could see. The experience that Lynn endured as a teenager would continue into her relationships with men, and her story focuses on one terrifying relationship in her twenties, which plays out like a horror movie. Lynn suffered narcissistic abuse, coercive control, extreme jealousy, manipulation, aggression, stalking, sexual abuse and eventually reproductive coercion, which Lynn explains in this extraordinary episode. As with all our episodes, we focus on the positive outcome and the journey through these life changing experiences. Lynn now shares her story so that others can learn the signs of coercive control. The U.S. is severely lacking in laws against coercive control. Lynn is trying to expand the conversations around coercive control to include the insidious act of reproductive coercion.

Maria Riegger is a banking/corporate attorney by day, and a fiction author by night. Maria’s head has always been in the clouds. From a young age, her mother scolded her for not paying attention; when she was bored, she would make up stories in her head. She has been writing since she was about thirteen years old. Maria’s story starts in her childhood, with abuse and narcasism at the hands of her mother. We follow her journey away from the grasp of her mother, and discuss her struggles to find emotional freedom. Children that have been indoctrinated with negative thinking, scolding, and emotional abuse, often have a very hard time believing in themselves in later life. Childhood PTSD is very, very real. People pleasing is common, and often finding yourself in one sided relationships, a lack of confident decison making, unhealthy bounderies, and even wading into another abusive relationship without knowing you are doing it! This is an amazing episode for everyone who has ever struggled with low self esteem, and in fact for anyone who has ever had to deal with other human beings!
