Welcome back to The Christian Life Coach Podcast! In this raw and redemptive episode, Shanna invites you to take an honest, grace-filled look at your past—not to place blame or get stuck in regret, but to acknowledge your experiences and their impact, so you can heal, grow, and break generational patterns.

Whether you're wrestling with mom guilt, struggling with childhood wounds, or resisting reflection because it feels too heavy—this episode is your permission slip to go there. You’ll learn how to become your own empathetic witness and hold space for both truth and compassion. God redeems everything—including your story.

🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why we resist revisiting the past—and why we must
How to acknowledge impact without blaming others
What it means to be your own empathetic witness
The power of separating the facts from the shame
How reflection leads to transformation through Romans 8:1 & 12:2

📓 Journal Prompts:
