Meet Mary on this week’s episode. A survivor of abuse and trauma, Mary has grown beyond her pain. As a child, Mary was abused by the man she thought was her father. Coercive control and manipulation added pain and stress as she grew into young adulthood. Her first marriage was to an abuser. Violence continued to affect all aspects of Mary's life, culminating in the murder of her mother. But Mary fought back. Through exploration and therapy, she found forgiveness.  This woman is the definition of grit.

Defining your identity can be hard, especially if you have two cultures as your North star. In this week’s episode, meet Misgana Tesfaye and hear his story of how being a first-generation immigrant led to cultural dualities – and how one small change led him on a new path between both worlds.

As an adult, Andre Van Hall suddenly and unexpectedly began to lose his sight. Learn how this monumental change in his life led to the development of curiosity as a new muscle for coping and adapting to life without sight.

A childhood leukemia diagnosis would change the course of any kid’s life. Dealing with recurring infections and a stem cell transplant, on top of “normal” adolescence, could have made today’s guest bitter. But not Brady Lucas. Brady conquered the cancer, looked inward, and chose to learn from his experiences in order to become a better man.

We do get to choose what areas of beauty we will focus on as a priority! So, why not choose to give our most sincere efforts to developing inner beauty since it will never fade away, unlike external beauty? 
This episode makes the case for centering internal beauty as the beauty gold standard.  Listen in to this discussion with visiting Freed Up Friend ABY (Alicia) as we explore and explain more about the true beauty of a woman's character. 

If you have thoughts to share or want to have a question answered on the podcast, please reach out to us at: connect@freefilledfavored.com.  We are also available to pray for you if you are experiencing a particular area of struggle in your mental health or faith journey.

Whether it be your job, church or even extended family, sometimes we are divinely "assigned" to a certain places to save lives.  Isn't that what Esther did?? It's not just our employment status or title but it could be the little deeds we do that can literally save someone's life.

I have some very interesting things to share.  I hope you enjoy this inspiring episode!

External beauty, let’s face it, is big business in our culture today! And it is filtering over into every phase of our lives--even affecting our relationships.  We are a society being lulled into expectations of external perfection.  Recent studies have found that women are obsessed with their looks. And that obsession  is fueling our anxiety, depression, comparisons and competition with others; increasing insecurity, jealousy, and elevating moments of and not so noticeable incidences of anger and resentment. 

This episode invites each of us to think about how society's obsession with how we look is affecting our mental health and offers guidance on how to combat the pitfalls toward external perfection.

All of us wants to understand more about ourselves and how we fit in relation to others. Arguably, the most useful resource in helping us with this is learning  our attachment styles. Your attachment style was established through the relational interactions in your earliest life experiences with your parents or caregivers. These experiences primarily drive how we relate to others in our adult relationships. 

This episode covers in detail the disorganized/fearful-avoidant attachment pattern and some general strategies for moving toward healthier relationships in our lives. This series is part of our year's focus on "making the investment" into healthier, happier relationships.  
Tune in to get all the goods!

The more we become aware of the role our early life experiences played in shaping us relationally, the more equipped we are to shift some of those patterns and behaviors that are creating challenges for us in our relationships. Avoidant attachment is an insecure attachment style that develops when a child's needs are ignored, dismissed and/or emotional expression is discouraged or even punished. In turn, they learn to depend on themselves and remain emotionally distant from others as a protective mechanism and a learned behavior. 

The good news is that this attachment style is not a life-sentence. Through self-awareness, and practicing a few strategies that we talk about in this episode, anyone who with this relational pattern can begin to draw closer to others and feel more confident about their own emotional expression. Tune in to hear more!
