In this episode, I talk with the incredible Roseanne Mayer about her memoir and her life behind it:Bones Beneath the Prairie: A Memoir of SurvivalRoseann grew up in the oil fields of West Texas, surviving a 20–year marriage marked by narcissistic abuse, domestic violence, spiritual manipulation, and financial control, and finally finding the courage to leave with no safety net. We get into the “bedpost incident” that became her breaking point, the shame and silence that kept her and her 3 children stuck for decades, and how little language or support existed in the church when all of this was happening.We also go there on the messy middle: the complicated relationship that helped her feel safe enough to leave, the years of anger and nervous-system chaos that followed, and the unexpected ways God met her anyway.This eventually led her into a healthy, loving marriage and, now, a calling to put her story into the hands of women in shelters and hidden situations everywhere.If you’re quietly Googling terms, hiding your digital footprint, or wondering if what you’re living through “counts” as abuse, I hope this conversation helps you feel seen, a little less alone, and reminds you that where you are right now does not have to be where you stay.Register to receive FREE copies of Roseann's book*If your ministry, group, shelter, safe home, or program supports women walking through crisis, abuse, coercion, spiritual manipulation, trauma recovery, or homelessness—we would be honored to serve your work.*Tell Roseann how many copies your ministry, shelter, group, or safe home needs.Submit your request below:https://bonesbeneaththeprairie.com/mi...Once added, donors will be able to send you books directly through Amazon.HELP IS AVAILABLE FOR WOMEN AND MEN LIKE YOU*National Domestic Violence Hotline: Domestic Violence Support*Everyone deserves relationships free from domestic violence.

We talk about bullying, big life transitions, and those quiet moments of surrender when your plans fall apart but God’s plan starts to come into focus.

Myranda shares how faith, music, and community have carried her, and how grace shows up through the people who walk alongside us. Myranda also opens up about her journey from spiritual seeker to devoted follower of Christ, and how baptism became a turning point in her story.

We dig into the power of worship, the importance of supportive relationships, and the joy of discovering purpose when you finally stop trying to do it all on your own.

If you’ve ever wondered where God is in your story—or how to keep going when the road feels heavy—this conversation will remind you that you are not walking it alone.
