What does it look like to find joy when suffering doesn’t let up?

In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with bestselling author, artist, and faith-filled truth teller Lara Silverman to talk about finding joy in the midst of suffering. Lara shares her powerful journey of faith after becoming seriously ill, what it means to anchor hope in God when life radically changes, and how joy can coexist with pain without denying it.

We talk honestly about suffering, grace, creativity, and trusting God when healing doesn’t come the way we expect. Lara’s story is a reminder that joy is not circumstantial—it is rooted in faith, hope, and the presence of God.

Lara is the author of Singing Through Fire, an Amazon No. 1 Bestseller, where she reflects on faith, suffering, and unwavering hope.

The Path to Wholeness: Healing Through Scripture and Surrender

In this episode of Broken to Beautiful Podcast, I’m joined by women’s ministry leader and Bible study author Pat Domangue for an encouraging conversation about healing, surrender, and the life-changing power of God’s Word.

Pat shares her testimony of encountering Jesus at age thirty, how Scripture helped heal her past, and how God led her on a journey toward true wholeness. Together, we talk about overcoming shame, releasing guilt, and breaking free from the lies that keep women feeling unworthy or distant from God.

This episode is for the woman longing for healing, spiritual renewal, and reassurance that no past is too broken for God’s restoration. Wholeness is possible—and it begins with surrender.

Becoming Whole: Healing Before the Next Relationship | w/ Joni Woods

Heart Talks — Season 6

Healing isn’t optional if you desire healthy, God-honoring relationships—it’s foundational.

As we continue Season 6 of Heart Talks, this powerful episode, Becoming Whole: Healing Before the Next Relationship, invites you into an honest conversation about the work that must happen before pursuing love again.

We sit down with Joni Woods, certified life coach, relationship specialist, and author of Burned, Blocked, and Better Than Ever, to explore healing, self-awareness, and breaking patterns that no longer serve you.

After leaving a 15-year marriage marked by silence and societal pressure, Joni shares her personal journey of healing, self-discovery, and unlearning generational, cultural, and spiritual blueprints that kept her disconnected from her true self. Her story now shapes the way she helps individuals and couples build emotionally healthy relationships rooted in authenticity, boundaries, and respect.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Why healing must come before dating

• How unaddressed wounds show up in relationships

• Breaking toxic and generational patterns

• The role of faith in emotional healing

• Learning to stop performing and start living whole

This episode is for anyone who feels God calling them inward—to heal what’s been hidden, reclaim their identity, and prepare for relationships that truly honor who they are becoming.
