I will never be tired of this lake. It holds such peace for me. What places hold peace for you?

Wow! I launched Hey Tabi on 31 December 2024. You all have made it amazing. I am so grateful for each listener. It’s my hope this helps us all have more of the deeply needed conversations about important topics - especially in the Christian church.

If you don’t listen yet - jump on in! It’s available on every major podcast platform & YouTube!!

And if there’s a topic you want me to tackle or a guest you’d like me to invite on - drop it in the comments!

It is so important to remember in our healing journey that we are not where we once were.

When things are hard that can be really tough to remember! This is why I encourage clients to create rocks of remembrance - they can be actual rocks, journaling, art - anything that helps you remember little or big victories. When things are hard today you can look at them & remember the healing, the victory, the days you survived when you thought you may not.

Abuse is wicked & leaves lasting scars. And healing comes. And while we don’t forget the past, we can be thankful for lessons learned, ways we’ve grown, & the places we have seen God show up.

We can be thankful for each step of healing. ❤️‍🩹 The road isn’t always easy. Or pretty. Or cute. But there is a road. And we are on it.

Oh the shaking never feels good. Our world shatters. It hurts like hell. But the rebuilding has so much goodness & beauty.

When I was married I wasn’t allowed to have mums in fall. My ex-husband hated them. More accurately - he hated that I loved them. And boy did I catch hell and was told how stupid I was for loving something so “dumb.” It shut me down and I never had a front porch full of mums in the fall. I never had a decorated porch at all unless he approved.

As a free woman I can savor the beauty of mums - and anything else I want - without fear of punishment.

It took some time to learn this and UNLEARN fear. But how grateful I am that I did. And you can, too. If you are now free from a destructive relationship, what is your favorite freedom?

Healing happens in community. There is no better, more real, more authentic community than coercive control survivors. Some of my closest friendships were formed in this space. While I don’t wish abuse on anyone I for sure wouldn’t trade these humans for anything. We may all have some shared stories of harm, but these days we have more shared stories of joy, of life experiences, of pizza, and late-night talks, of wins and losses, laughter and tears. What we have is life.
