Authentically Broken: Your Pain Has Purpose Podcast

A few years ago, I was a working actress and successful public speaking coach who was happily married and living a good life. My reality changed in an instant when I unexpectedly lost my husband, brother, and mother in the short span of 14 months. Join me each week as we take a deep dive into this carnival of chaos called the human experience. This podcast is not about perfection, it's about pursuit. Not about convincing, but about conversing. I'm not looking for followers; I'm searching for family. A family of like minds and hearts. Prepare your heart for tears, laugher, & much more!

    Episode 3: Should Family Be Everything?

    One of the biggest blessings, yet biggest frustrations in this life is the family unit. The families we are given can bring an immense amount of joy, love, comfort, protection, and goodness on this life. But all too often, at the same time or for some more often than not, our families can be the source of the greatest heartache, pain, confusion, and destruction we experience in this life. In today's show, we unpack why this is and should it be this way? The goal is for each of us to walk away with clarity, conviction, and encouragement about what a family should b and how it should function.#authenticallybroken #family #dysfunctionalfamily #love #faith #suffering #heartache #healing #hope

    It's All About Relationship

    In today's episode, we are going to start laying the foundation that is necessary in order to learn how to properly navigate this unavoidable, yet messy thing called pain and heartache that befalls us all. For that, we must start with unpacking why relationships are the center of everything in our existence, and why that matters. Although relationships with others can be great and add so much to our lives, at the same time, relationships are hard because life is hard. It is only when we learn to truly embrace this concept that we are able to work through the pain, struggle, and challenges of this life. I encourage you join me today as we unpack this some more.Learn more and follow me at the website: www.authenticallybroken.com
