30 | From Surviving Childhood Sexual Abuse to Thriving: How Coaching Transformed My Healing Journey

from Hope In The Fire | Childhood Sexual Abuse, Childhood Trauma Healing, Biblical Wellness, Mindset, Identity · host Leslie Chermak - Christian Podcaster, Coach & Speaker

What if the very thing you thought you didn’t need… became the breakthrough you were praying for? In today’s episode of Hope in the Fire, I share my personal journey of healing from childhood trauma — from working with a non-Christian counselor, to receiving pastoral counseling, to participating in women’s Bible studies… and ultimately discovering the transformational power of coaching. Each step mattered. Each season served a purpose. But coaching became the space where healing turned into forward movement. In this episode, I break down: The difference between counseling and coaching Why both are valuable How coaching helped me move from awareness to transformation What it looks like to have someone walk alongside you in your healing If you’ve done some healing work but still feel stuck, this episode is for you. I’m now offering one-on-one coaching for women healing from childhood trauma who are ready to move from surviving to thriving. 👉 Rooted & Rising Coaching  You don’t have to walk this alone.   >>Grab a set of “My Identity In Christ” reflection cards.  Identity In Christ Cards-Teal  Identity In Christ Cards-Mauve >> Download my free 5 Steps to Becoming An Overcomer >> Visit https://lesliechermak.com/work-with-leslie/  for more support. >> I’ll meet you in your inbox on Fridays!   https://lesliechermak.myflodesk.com/newsletter >> Visit the Website: https://lesliechermak.com/
