Ep 15: Rediscovering the You Who Has Been Waiting on the Other Side of Survival

When you’ve spent years in survival mode, slowing down can feel scary. You’ve been on high alert for so long that when things finally get quiet, you don’t always recognise yourself.In this episode, Naomi talks about what it’s like to reach that point. When the roles, the labels, and everyone else’s expectations start to fall away, you’re left wondering who you really are. She shares her own story of peeling back the layers that were built to protect her, and how she slowly found the version of herself that’s rooted in freedom instead of fear.You’ll learn how to start reconnecting with yourself in small ways, notice the moments that spark joy or peace, and handle it when people push back against your growth.ABOUT THE HOST, NAOMI SPARKS:Naomi Sparks is a mom, wife, healing coach, and a cult survivor. She grew up in a tightly controlled religious cult in Northern California and spent years disconnected from her true self. Her work now centres around helping others reclaim their voice, heal generational pain, and step into wholeness without apology.QUOTE OF THE EPISODE:“If you’re in the in-between right now.
