    Naming What Was Never Mine to Carry - Michelle

    “I spent so many years trying to figure out who I am rather than just being who I am and figuring out how to love her.” What if we remember childhood not by what happened, but by how it felt? In this episode of The Healing in Sharing, returning guest Michelle shares a story built from fragments of memory, emotion, and survival. She opens up about childhood trauma, inherited shame, teen pregnancy, marital violence, motherhood, and the silence that can keep families protecting what should have been named. Michelle also shares the full-circle moment of talking with her dad before publicly revealing her childhood trauma. Central to the story is the loss of her daughter, Maddie, a grief that transformed Michelle’s view of faith, purpose, and healing.  This is a raw and honest episode about breaking silence, naming what was never yours to carry, and choosing a different ending.

    Theresa Survived Teen Dating Violence. Here's What No One Warned Her About.

    One night. One moment. A lifetime of impact. In this episode, Theresa shares how a violent experience as a teenager changed the course of her life in ways she never expected. What happened in a single night didn’t just stay in the past, it shaped how she saw herself, her safety, her voice, and her future. But this is more than just a story about trauma. It’s about what comes next. It’s about carrying something heavy over the years... and what it feels like to slowly start unpacking it. Through honesty and courage, Theresa shares the lasting effects of violence, the quiet ways it follows you, and the strength needed to face it. If you’ve ever wondered how one moment can shape a lifetime or how healing begins after something you didn’t choose, this conversation will meet you there. Basic teen dating violence tips:  Pay attention to sudden isolation from friends or family.  Notice if a teen seems afraid to upset their partner.  Be aware of constant texting, checking in, or needing to know where they are.  Watch for controlling behavior around clothes, friends, or daily choices.  Take emotional changes seriously, especially shame, fear, or withdrawing.  Create a calm space to talk without judgment or pressure.  Remind teens that control is not love.  Let them know they can tell you the truth without being blamed.National Domestic Violence Hotline (U.S.) Call or text 800-799-7233 (SAFE) Chat at thehotline.org Available 24/7, confidential, and free.

  3. What Happens When You Can’t Be Grounded? - Jax

    What Happens When You Can’t Be Grounded? - Jax

    Have you ever felt a quiet whisper telling you to trust something bigger than yourself… even when it makes no logical sense? What if religion and spirituality were never meant to compete, but to walk side by side? In this episode of The Healing in Sharing, Jennifer “Jen” Lee sits down with intuitive and spiritual guide Jax, a woman who learned to trust the whisper long before the miracle appeared. Jax received a message she couldn’t ignore: sell the house, leave New Jersey, and start fresh. She trusted it, packed up her life with her husband, and stepped into the unknown. But just as a new chapter was about to begin, everything changed. Her husband fell nearly thirty feet at work and ended up in the hospital, turning their leap of faith into a test of endurance overnight. Instead of letting fear dominate, Jax leaned further into faith, healing practices, and the power of words. In this conversation, she explains Reiki and energy work in simple terms and how they can support the body’s healing alongside practical tools like physical therapy, anti-inflammatory nutrition, meditation, and intentional speech. The words we repeat about ourselves—strength, hope, capability—shape the outcome more than we realize. Jax also shares what it looks like to build a life where religion and spirituality hold hands. From navigating an interfaith marriage to creating a kosher home rooted in respect and clarity, she shows how two belief systems can coexist without losing personal truth. If you’ve ever wrestled with faith and spirituality, questioned your intuition, or wondered if healing can come from both tradition and personal connection to the divine, this episode offers a powerful reminder: it doesn’t have to be either/or. Sometimes, the answer is both.  You don’t have to carry it alone. Start with a conversation.  Learn more: www.thehealinginsharing.com Jen Lee Listens: Private listening support for women.

    Silenced: When Speaking Up Wasn’t an Option - Donna

    Breaking the Silence of Abuse.  Reclaiming Power After Faith-Based Shame. Embracing Healing and Restoration. Donna shares her journey growing up in the 70s and 80s, a time when women were expected to “protect the marriage,” “don’t embarrass the family,” and keep domestic struggles hidden. Enduring religious shame and domestic abuse, she faced fear, isolation, and near tragedy, yet found the courage to reclaim her life. In this deeply honest episode, Donna opens up about confronting trauma, seeking faith and counseling, and leaning on community to turn shame into restoration. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to heal, this conversation shows that hope endures, strength can be rebuilt, and your voice can finally be heard.
