In this special interview from NRB, Aliza Prokop sits down with Kent Darcie—author and founder of Adult Children of Divorce Ministries—to discuss the often-overlooked trauma people experience when their parents divorce, even later in life. Kent explains how a parent’s divorce can shape relationships well into adulthood, including the emotional “loyalty challenge” many feel between parents and the unique impact divorce can have on daughters. He also addresses the growing trend of “gray divorce” and why many adult sons and daughters carry emotional burdens that were never theirs to bear. Finally, Kent offers practical wisdom for couples preparing for marriage and explains how premarital counseling can help address wounds from parental divorce before they affect a new family.

This conversation offers practical wisdom for protecting our families while cultivating resilience, discernment, and healing in a rapidly evolving digital world.

This conversation offers a hopeful, grounded look at healing that moves beyond mindset into real, lived transformation.

Healing doesn’t start with striving, it starts with safety. Tracey Lynn Russell joins Aliza to share her powerful story of trauma, healing, and rebuilding life after a severe concussion changed everything. As an occupational therapist, trauma-informed practitioner, author, and creator of the CARE Method, Tracey explains how trauma disconnects us—from our bodies, our relationships, and even from God. She opens up about reaching the end of self-effort and learning to trust God at a deeper, surrendered level as her body and faith healed together. This conversation offers real hope for anyone walking through trauma and wondering if healing is still possible.

What happens when trauma has nowhere to go? It doesn’t disappear—it shows up in our relationships, our work, our coping, and even the smallest everyday interactions. In this episode, Aliza sits down with her producer, Mike Segovia, to explore how trauma shapes our lives in ways we often don’t recognize. Using relatable metaphors like the macaroni and cheese effect and the vacuum cleaner, they unpack what happens when trauma goes unprocessed and why safe, trauma-informed spaces are essential. This conversation isn’t just about learning to survive what you’ve been through—it’s about creating space to heal and discovering what it looks like to truly thrive.

Churches want to help people with trauma—but good intentions don’t always lead to safe or healing spaces. In this episode, Aliza Prokop is joined once again by Dr. Mark Mayfield, licensed professional counselor, educator, former pastor, and award-winning author of The Mental Health Handbook for Ministry. Dr. Mayfield challenges leaders to look beyond Sunday morning service, pointing to church culture, small groups, and connection as key indicators of health. Together, they explore why true care requires a culture shift, not a bandaid, and how unhurried rhythms of grace, presence, and compassion create space for healing. This conversation offers practical wisdom for church leaders seeking to balance spiritual care with emotional and mental health support—and to truly sit with those who are hurting.
