    I Survived Myself Until I Found My Way HOME. Dr. Jen Hewson

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when you spend years surviving a life you were never meant to stay trapped inside? In this deeply personal episode of Life’s Deceit™, I sit down with Dr. Jen Hewson, author of Gut Instincts: Listening to the Gut — A Journey of Breaking, Healing, and Returning Home to God, for a conversation about trauma, survival, forgiveness, faith, and finding your way back to yourself. Dr. Jen takes us back to the little girl who learned far too early what it felt like to be unseen and unwanted. She opens up about growing up around alcoholism and abuse, running away as a teenager, searching for love and belonging, and the years she spent numbing what she had never learned how to heal. But this conversation is not only about what happened to her. It is about what happened inside of her because of it. We talk about the moment survival stops protecting you and starts imprisoning you. We unpack radical forgiveness, the emotions we bury, the ways unresolved pain can affect how we experience our bodies, and why healing sometimes requires us to revisit the parts of ourselves we thought we had already moved beyond. Dr. Jen also shares how her relationship with God transformed her understanding of her past, her mother, forgiveness, and ultimately herself. Her journey reminds us that healing is not a destination. There can always be another layer, another truth, another part of ourselves asking to be seen. This episode asks a difficult question: How much of the life you are living today was built by the version of you who was simply trying to survive yesterday? This is a conversation about breaking, healing, forgiving, becoming, and choosing what gets carried forward. Because sometimes finding your way home has nothing to do with a place. Sometimes, home is the person you were always meant to become.

    ASSAULTED IN UNIFORM | 20 YEARS LATER, SHE FOUND HER POWER | SN4 Episode29

    Send us Fan Mail At just 19 years old, Simone Swartz joined the military with dreams, purpose and a desire to serve. Her experience would take her through military sexual assault, harassment, isolation and years of living with PTSD before she fully understood what she was experiencing. In this powerful episode of Life’s Deceit™ Podcast, Simone shares her story with honesty and vulnerability. We talk about the assault, what happened afterward, the impact of trauma, shame, addiction, finding the right support, faith, service dogs and the decision to finally use her voice. Simone is now a veteran, author and mental health advocate. Through her book PTSD and What Helped Me and her advocacy for sexual assault survivors and service dogs, she is helping others understand that PTSD is treatable and that healing is possible. This conversation is difficult at times, but it is also a story about resilience, purpose and reclaiming the power that was there all along. Because sometimes legacy isn’t what happened to you. It’s what you choose to build after it.

Through every trial, Linda shares how God's presence became her greatest source of strength and why healing begins with surrender, forgiveness, and hope. In this episode, you'll discover: Why God isn't finished with you yet. How childhood wounds can shape your self-worth and relationships. The power of forgiveness in breaking cycles of pain. What it truly means to be equally yoked. How to trust God when doctors give discouraging news. Why your diagnosis is not your identity. Practical ways to choose faith over fear every day. How your greatest pain can become someone else's greatest hope. If you've ever questioned God's plan, battled fear, carried emotional wounds, or wondered if your best days are behind you, this conversation will remind you that your story isn't over.
