In this tender, end-of-year episode released on Christmas Eve, Talia reflects on loss, healing, and the sacred invitation to pause before moving forward. She shares vulnerably about how this time last year she was coming out of a season marked by depression, health crisis, and relational loss, and how the Lord used community, attachment healing, and deep inner work to restore joy, peace, and rootedness.

This episode explores Pete Scazzero’s Going Back to Go Forward pathway from Emotionally Healthy Spirituality, examining why unresolved pain often shows up in our present until it is brought into the light with compassion rather than shame. Talia unpacks generational patterns, attachment wounds, and the importance of processing pain with safe, mature support, what Life Model Works calls a “bigger brain.”

You will also hear how somatic awareness, therapy, and EMDR played a role in healing her nervous system and reshaping everyday responses, along with a powerful reminder that healing is not about perfection, but about noticing sooner and returning to joy more quickly.

The episode introduces A Rooted Reflection, the first She’s Rooted Life resource, designed to help you reflect on your story, losses, wins, and rhythms with intention and hope as you move toward the new year.

This conversation is an invitation to slow down, grieve honestly, receive healing deeply, and partner with Jesus as you move forward more free, more whole, and more rooted.
