Courageous Overcomers

What if the very walls you’ve built to protect yourself are the same ones keeping you from the love and connection you desire? Join me, Tonya Shellnutt, on this heartfelt episode of Courageous Overcomer, where I open up about my journey through trauma, abandonment, and addiction. Discover how these experiences led me to construct emotional fortresses that, rather than safeguarding me, isolated me from the authentic relationships I craved. Together, we explore the reasons behind these barriers, such as fear of vulnerability and loss of trust, and how they often provide a false sense of security while keeping true joy at bay.
In our continuing conversation, I share the challenging yet rewarding process of dismantling these emotional walls. Drawing from personal experiences and recovery principles from programs like AA and Celebrate Recovery, this episode offers practical guidance on healing and personal growth. Learn the crucial steps of admitting powerlessness, believing in a higher power, and conducting an honest self-inventory as we discuss paving the way to emotional freedom. With courage and intentionality, we can break down these barriers and restore our well-being, fostering genuine connections and leading lives filled with love and authenticity. Tune in for true stories and powerful tools to support you on this transformative journey.
