161 | MIA GODFREY: From Trauma and Addiction to Healing, Faith, and Purpose

In this episode, I welcome author, speaker, and life coach MIA GODFREY for a moving conversation on healing, identity, and turning pain into purpose. Mia shares her journey from growing up in Romania under communist rule to navigating trauma, addiction, and profound loss—including the passing of her sister, which inspired her book Buried, Not Broken. Through therapy, faith, and community, Mia began the courageous work of healing and rebuilding her life from the inside out. Together, we explore what it truly means to heal, how to embrace vulnerability, and why our story still holds power—even in the middle of pain.  If you are walking through grief, rebuilding after loss, or searching for clarity in your identity, this conversation will meet you with hope, truth, and encouragement.
