Part 1 of 4

What happens when your identity, beliefs, and life story are completely turned upside down?

In this episode of Misfits Among Us, Joey sits down with Charna Jacobson (The Unconventional Jew) to discuss trauma, identity, religion, spirituality, and what it means to rebuild your life after everything falls apart.

Charna’s story is one of survival and transformation — from a childhood filled with hidden truths, to experiences with abuse, addiction, and trafficking, to finding purpose through faith, culture, and spirituality. Her journey explores the complexity of identity and what happens when the life you were given no longer fits who you are becoming.

This episode dives into deep topics like personal growth, healing, religion vs spirituality, identity crisis, and finding meaning after trauma.
