    When My Voice Begins to Sound Like Me | Discovering Who I Am | Julie M. Lane

    Finding my voice has been less about speaking louder and more about recognizing what already sounds like me. In this episode, I explore how music, writing, research, and reflection have helped me discover a voice that feels authentic and unhurried.

    Healing the Whole Person: Recovery, Identity, & Reclaiming Your Life | Dr. Calynn Lawrence

    In this episode of The Redeeming Stories Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Calynn Lawrence for an honest conversation about mental health, complex trauma, substance use, suicide, identity, and what it can mean to approach recovery as a whole person. Calynn brings both her professional work and her lived experience as a Black queer woman who grew up in a low income environment and has navigated major depressive disorder, alcohol misuse, complex trauma, and suicidality. Rather than allowing any one part of her story to define her, she has used what she has learned to help create resources and greater access to support for others through Holistic Healing Source. Our conversation explores what whole person recovery actually means, why healing may need to address far more than symptoms, and how culture, identity, economic circumstances, community, and lived experience can influence both the need for support and a person’s ability to access it. This conversation connects deeply with the work I share through @redeem_thyself. We are more than what happened to us, more than the ways we learned to survive, and more than any single label someone might use to describe us. Healing can include discovering all of those parts of ourselves and beginning to understand how they belong together. ⁠Website⁠ ⁠Instagram (Business)⁠ ⁠Facebook (Business)⁠ ⁠Instagram (Personal)⁠ ⁠Facebook (Personal)

    Giving Myself Permission to Want | Discovering Who I Am | Julie M. Lane

    From Seeking Shelter to Creating Change: A Story of Survival & Advocacy | Tiffany Wilkson

    In this episode of The Redeeming Stories Podcast, I sit down with Tiffany Wilkson, a wife, mother, grandmother, and advocate whose story has moved through domestic violence, shelter, serious illness, loss, healing, and eventually service to others. Years ago, Tiffany escaped an abusive relationship and entered a domestic violence shelter while working, attending college full time, and trying to regain custody of her children. During that already overwhelming season, she was diagnosed with metastatic thyroid cancer. Faced with circumstances few of us can imagine, Tiffany made extraordinarily difficult decisions about her family and her future. Years later, she returned to the same shelter, this time as an advocate. When the emotional weight of that work became too much, she found another way to serve through board leadership. Today, Tiffany works with children and families experiencing homelessness through Family Promise of Great Falls and continues advocating around poverty and food insecurity. Our conversation explores survival, healing, empowerment, the complicated relationship between lived experience and advocacy, and something I think we need to talk about more often: caring deeply about others without losing ourselves in the process. This conversation reflects so much of what we explore through @redeem_thyself. Our hardest chapters can inform what comes next, but we still get to decide how much of ourselves we give and what redemption looks like for us. Website

    Reclaiming Choice: Survivor Centered Healing in Rural Communities | Izzi Simonsen

    In this episode of The Redeeming Stories Podcast, I sit down with Izzi Simonsen, Programs Manager at the Women’s Resource Center in Dillon, Montana, for a conversation about survivor centered advocacy, empowerment, and the unique challenges of supporting survivors in rural communities. Izzi’s connection to this work began long before it became her profession. She grew up seeing the impact of the Women’s Resource Center through her mother’s work there, later became a volunteer, and eventually found her own calling in education, prevention, and advocacy. Her commitment is also informed by her own lived experience as a survivor. We talk about why there is no single right way to respond to abuse or trauma, what it really means to trust survivors to make decisions about their own lives, and the barriers that can make seeking help especially difficult in rural communities. We also explore education and prevention, the importance of being believed, and why empowerment means restoring choice rather than making choices for someone else. This conversation speaks directly to the heart of @redeem_thyself. What happened to us may shape our stories, but it does not have to define who we become. Reclaiming our voice, our choices, and our sense of self can become part of writing what comes next. Website Facebook Instagram LinkedIn
