    SEND US A TEXT, we’d love to hear from you! (Originally recorded on Beyond Beauty with Stephanie Podcast) In this special bonus episode of Monomyth Diaries, we’re sharing a meaningful conversation that first aired on Beyond Beauty with Stephanie, where Mandi joined Stephanie as a guest to share her personal testimony of finding faith. Mandi opens up about growing up in chaos, carrying deep shame, and walking a long, honest road toward healing through Jesus. Rather than instant transformation, this story reflects the slow, steady work of surrender, community, and choosing healing one step at a time. This conversation touches on breaking generational cycles, navigating guilt and grief, the role of Al-Anon and church community, and what real healing looks like when it’s lived—not rushed. Mandi’s story is a powerful reminder that your past doesn’t get the last word—and that wholeness is possible, even when the journey takes time. 🔗 Links & Resources Beyond Beauty with Stephanie is more than a podcast—it's a safe space for women in midlife who are navigating the real, raw, and sometimes messy seasons of life. Hosted by licensed esthetician, wife, mama of four, and Jesus-loving truth-teller Stephanie Treml, this show dives into everything from skincare and self-worth to hormones, heartbreak, healing, and hope. Each episode is filled with honest conversations, powerful testimonies, and practical encouragement to help you feel seen, heard, and not alone. Whether we’re talking about perimenopause, overcoming shame, rebuilding after betrayal, or just finding joy in the empty nest season—this is a place to feel understood and empowered. This isn’t just about beauty on the outside. It’s about healing the inside.  It’s about picking up your “mat,” walking in freedom, and letting God turn your story into someone else’s survival guide. Because you, my friend, are a beautiful soul—and you are never too far gone.
