The Books That Shaped Me Featuring Loree Tamayo

from The Books That Shaped Me

Loree Tamayo built a life running hospitals and long-term care facilities, one that looked polished from the outside. Underneath it was a lifetime of psychological abuse she didn't even have language for, generational patterns passed down from her great-grandmother to her grandmother to her mother, and finally to her. In this episode, Loree walks through the moment she surrendered her life to God with a blank check prayer, and how that same surrender carried her through a devastating marriage, eight years of counseling, and the slow work of learning what a boundary even is. She talks about the anger she didn't know she was carrying, why "no" felt like a foreign language, and how she came out the other side to found Yesterday's Gone, a women's shelter now supported by an army of men who show up to serve the very population abuse once tried to break. This is a conversation about denial, boundaries, forgiveness, and the belief that God writes the best endings, if you let Him. Find Loree at yesterdaysgone.org and hiddentreasureteams.org. She was also recently on Michelle Savage's Her Best Chapter podcast, check it out!
