She Lives Truth

Maribel Soto Ramirez

She Lives Truth was created for the single mom who loves God, honors His Word, and is still asking hard questions after real trauma. Here we talk honestly about post-abuse separation, co-parenting with a high-conflict or narcissistic ex, trauma bonds, gaslighting, and the deep confusion that can follow even within faith communities. Have you ever felt unseen, misunderstood, or even silenced after leaving a relationship marked by narcissistic or emotional abuse especially when your decision to separate was made to protect yourself and your children? Why does it sometimes feel like the church doesn’t have honest answers for women who are rebuilding after abuse, separation, or divorce? Through Scripture, biblical wisdom, and lived experience, I’ll help you learn how to: Recognize and replace lies with God’s truth Understand trauma through a biblical lens Rebuild your identity, faith, and motherhood after abuse Walk in discipline, purity, and peace even in the aftermath Rise strong without bitterness, fear, or shame If you’ve been misunderstood by friends or family… If your pain has been spiritualized away… If you’re choosing holiness while still healing… You are not alone. This is a place of truth, restoration, and encouragement for women who refuse to give up on God, on themselves, or on the calling to raise their children in a world full of lies.

    What is a Healthy Fear of the Lord?

    Hey Friend, As we begin uncovering truth, naming abuse, and confronting manipulation, there is a very real temptation to take justice into our own hands. This episode is a necessary pause, a spiritual recalibration before moving forward. In Proverbs 1:7 we are told that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.” This fear is not terror or punishment it is a deep desire to stay connected to God’s truth, to walk in wisdom, and to let Him guide our steps even when emotions are high and wounds are fresh. A healthy fear of the Lord keeps us grounded when we are tempted to retaliate, rush decisions, or respond from pain rather than wisdom. In this episode, we talk about why this matters so deeply for those who must continue interacting with someone who has caused harm especially in co-parenting situations. Manipulative people often try to provoke reactions, re-engage emotionally, or bait you into cycles that look like change but are really familiar traps. A healthy fear of the Lord helps us discern what is right and wrong, resist enticement, and make decisions that honor God not to please our co-parent, not even to please our children but to remain faithful, steady, and anchored in truth. This is not a quick fix or a promise that the journey will end tomorrow. It is an invitation to walk closely with God through a process that takes time. What can be promised is this: staying connected to Him, His wisdom, and His truth will keep you from losing yourself along the way. Remember you are deeply loved and take heart Truth always wins! :)

    What is Gaslighting?

    Hey Friends! Its Maribel. You're not going to want to miss this Episode :) Grab your Bible and Coffee and let's talk about a common buzz word that has become popular. Have you heard of the term Gaslighting?  Gaslighting is one of the most misunderstood and most damaging forms of manipulation. It is not simply lying or disagreeing. It is a consistent, intentional pattern designed to distort your reality, undermine your intuition, and shift blame onto you until you no longer trust your own mind. In this episode, we break down what gaslighting truly is, using clear, real-life examples from Dr. Ramani’s work to help listeners recognize this tactic for what it is. We explore why manipulators rely so heavily on gaslighting, how it gradually erodes a person’s sense of self, and why research shows it can actually rewire the brain leading to memory loss, chronic self-doubt, and emotional confusion. We also turn to Proverbs 6:16–19, examining how Scripture describes behaviors God hates not as isolated mistakes, but as perpetual patterns of character rooted in deception and manipulation. Through biblical truth and personal testimony, I share how gaslighting causes you to second guess your instincts, question your sanity, and eventually believe the false narrative imposed on you. This episode exposes gaslighting for what it is: a destructive tactic of manipulation and spiritual deception. One that leaves lasting effects if it goes unnamed. If you’ve ever felt like you were “going crazy,” constantly apologizing, or doubting your own reality, this episode will help you name what was happening and begin reclaiming the truth.
