Thank you for checking out my podcasts! They cover the same topics as my writing (Christianity, abuse recovery, mental health, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, etc.) and everything is from a Christian perspective.

Some topics are repeated, because sharing new information and perspectives from a different angle can make it "click" sometimes where it didn't before.

I try to add podcasts often, but due to my health struggles, they won't be added consistently. I apologize and I'm trying!
