From Hardship to Hope with Tammy Kennington

I recently sat down with my friend Tammy Kennington—who is an amazing mental health coach, award-winning author, and podcaster—for a deeply personal conversation that truly touched my heart.Tammy shared so openly about the heavy things she’s overcome:* Childhood abuse.* Struggles with self-image.* The daily reality of chronic illness.What struck me most is how she found her way through these hardships. Her faith wasn’t just a part of her healing; it was the key that unlocked it, and it continues to fuel the incredible work she does today to help others.The heart of our conversation came down to one powerful message: the importance of seeing yourself through God’s eyes.Podcast Music by GrandProject from PixabayWatch the whole episode on my Youtube Channel and be sure to subscribe and followSHOW NOTES:00:07 Meet Tammy Kennington: Author and Podcaster00:41 Tammy’s Podcast: From Hardship to Hope01:24 Beauty Tips and Personal Struggles03:42 Finding Beauty in Faith06:45 Tammy’s Journey with Mental Health13:00 Overcoming Childhood Abuse15:45 Writing and Creative Pursuits26:01 Future Plans and Opportunities27:52 Where to Find Tammy KenningtonMEET TAMMY KENNINGTON:Tammy Kennington is a multi-genre author, podcaster, dually certified life and mental health coach, and inner healing prayer practitioner familiar with the impact of trauma, mental health issues, and parenting in hard places.
