I Worked So Hard to Serve, But I Didn't Work So Hard to Heal" feat. Coach Tammy

What happens when the church teaches you how to worship but never teaches you how to heal?In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Larissa sits down with her sister-friend and fellow survivor Tammy Bodie, host of Sex Ed for Saints Podcast, for a testimony that will break you open and put you back together in the same breath.Tammy shares what it was like to be abused by multiple people across multiple spaces starting at age 8, and how moving between countries without her parents made her an easy target. She takes us inside the moment she picked up a phone at 8 years old just to hear her mother's voice, the betrayal that shattered her last sense of safety, and the grandmother whose words shut her down when she finally reached out.But this episode isn't just about what happened to Tammy. It's about what she did with it.From showing up to a choir audition in club clothes, to crying out at an altar "God, if you are real, touch me", to the hard truth she discovered inside her marriage: praying doesn't make the abuse go away. The work still has to happen.This one is for the survivor who's been serving faithfully but hasn't started healing honestly. It's for the one who's been performing for God but hiding from the pain. It's for the one who still doesn't know that what happened to them wasn't their fault.Reassign the shame. It was never yours to carry.
