Jesse shares her powerful story of child loss, addiction recovery, faith, forgiveness, and restoration. After losing her son Eric Bradley in the womb, facing serious health struggles, and battling addiction, Jessie found herself at a breaking point.

Through prayer, surrender, baptism, and her love for her son, she began the journey back to sobriety, motherhood, and self-worth. Her story is a reminder that healing begins in sharing, God still restores, and here, survival becomes strength.

Through faith, perseverance, chronic illness, motherhood, and enduring friendships, Leslie shares how life has shaped the way she shows up for others, bringing compassion, wisdom, and purpose.

She also offers thoughtful insight into healthy boundaries, why “maybe” can sometimes be a disguised no, and how generosity can unintentionally become enabling when we overlook the deeper need.

She closes by sharing her passion for generational diversity and what different generations can learn from one another in our families, communities, and workplaces.

Gentle hypnosis is a guided relaxation technique that helps people create positive life changes by working with the subconscious mind. It is commonly used to support emotional healing, reduce stress, shift limiting beliefs, and help release unwanted habits. In a calm, focused state, the mind becomes more open to positive suggestions that encourage healthier thinking patterns and lasting personal growth.

In this episode, we explain how gentle hypnosis works and debunk common myths about hypnosis, including misconceptions about control and awareness. I also share my personal testimony after experiencing hypnosis with Colleen, what the session felt like, and the changes I noticed afterward. This conversation offers clear insight into how hypnosis can support healing, clarity, and lasting change.

There’s a version of the adoption conversation that feels too small, too rushed, and too boxed into false either-or choices. So we made space for something deeper: Tammy Tuttle’s story of “the third choice” and the long, faith-led road that brought her daughter, Remy, home. Tammy is a mother of five who started with a simple desire to adopt, then spent years learning patience through closed doors, doubts, and the kind of waiting that tests your peace.

We talk through what adoption actually looks like on the ground: overseas adoption barriers, domestic infant adoption realities, and the practical steps that matter most, including contacting local family adoption attorneys, completing a home study, and getting adoption paperwork finished before an opportunity appears. Tammy shares the moment she finally surrendered the desire to God, asking for it to be removed if it wasn’t meant for their family, and waking up with a calm confidence she couldn’t manufacture.

Then everything changes with one phone call and an impossible timeline. Tammy tells the birth story that still brings her to tears: meeting Savannah, receiving an invitation into the delivery room, and witnessing the courage it takes for a birth mother to choose adoption. We also explore what people rarely say out loud, including the grief adoptive parents can feel for a birth mom after leaving the hospital, and the surprising, beautiful bond that can grow even when an adoption begins as “closed.” Tammy closes with how she tells Remy her adoption story with love, why Remy’s compassion matters, and the scripture that reshaped how she sees adoption.

If this story moves you, help us reach the next listener who needs hope: subscribe, share this episode, and leave a review. What does “the third choice” mean to you?

“I spent so many years trying to figure out who I am rather than just being who I am and figuring out how to love her.”

What if we remember childhood not by what happened, but by how it felt? In this episode of The Healing in Sharing, returning guest Michelle shares a story built from fragments of memory, emotion, and survival. She opens up about childhood trauma, inherited shame, teen pregnancy, marital violence, motherhood, and the silence that can keep families protecting what should have been named.

Michelle also shares the full-circle moment of talking with her dad before publicly revealing her childhood trauma. Central to the story is the loss of her daughter, Maddie, a grief that transformed Michelle’s view of faith, purpose, and healing.

This is a raw and honest episode about breaking silence, naming what was never yours to carry, and choosing a different ending.

One night. One moment. A lifetime of impact.

In this episode, Theresa shares how a violent experience as a teenager changed the course of her life in ways she never expected. What happened in a single night didn’t just stay in the past, it shaped how she saw herself, her safety, her voice, and her future.

But this is more than just a story about trauma.

It’s about what comes next.

It’s about carrying something heavy over the years... and what it feels like to slowly start unpacking it.

Through honesty and courage, Theresa shares the lasting effects of violence, the quiet ways it follows you, and the strength needed to face it.

If you’ve ever wondered how one moment can shape a lifetime or how healing begins after something you didn’t choose, this conversation will meet you there.

Basic teen dating violence tips:

• Pay attention to sudden isolation from friends or family.
• Notice if a teen seems afraid to upset their partner.
• Be aware of constant texting, checking in, or needing to know where they are.
• Watch for controlling behavior around clothes, friends, or daily choices.
• Take emotional changes seriously, especially shame, fear, or withdrawing.
• Create a calm space to talk without judgment or pressure.
• Remind teens that control is not love.
• Let them know they can tell you the truth without being blamed.

Have you ever felt a quiet whisper telling you to trust something bigger than yourself… even when it makes no logical sense?

What if religion and spirituality were never meant to compete, but to walk side by side?

In this episode of The Healing in Sharing, Jennifer “Jen” Lee sits down with intuitive and spiritual guide Jax, a woman who learned to trust the whisper long before the miracle appeared.

Jax received a message she couldn’t ignore: sell the house, leave New Jersey, and start fresh. She trusted it, packed up her life with her husband, and stepped into the unknown. But just as a new chapter was about to begin, everything changed. Her husband fell nearly thirty feet at work and ended up in the hospital, turning their leap of faith into a test of endurance overnight.

Instead of letting fear dominate, Jax leaned further into faith, healing practices, and the power of words. In this conversation, she explains Reiki and energy work in simple terms and how they can support the body’s healing alongside practical tools like physical therapy, anti-inflammatory nutrition, meditation, and intentional speech. The words we repeat about ourselves—strength, hope, capability—shape the outcome more than we realize.

Jax also shares what it looks like to build a life where religion and spirituality hold hands. From navigating an interfaith marriage to creating a kosher home rooted in respect and clarity, she shows how two belief systems can coexist without losing personal truth.

If you’ve ever wrestled with faith and spirituality, questioned your intuition, or wondered if healing can come from both tradition and personal connection to the divine, this episode offers a powerful reminder: it doesn’t have to be either/or. Sometimes, the answer is both.

You don’t have to carry it alone. Start with a conversation.
