Our Stories, Our Why

Relationship Truth: Unfiltered

In this deeply personal and powerful kickoff to the Coaches Takeover Series on Relationship Truth: Unfiltered, join Certified Coaches LeAnne Parsons and Diana Bala as they pull back the curtain on their personal stories of people-pleasing, performance, and purpose—and how God has faithfully redeemed it all.

With warmth, honesty, and Christ-centered wisdom, LeAnne and Diana share how their journeys of healing led them to coaching—and why they are passionate about walking alongside women in emotionally destructive relationships today.

This episode will help you feel seen, known, and invited into your own transformation. You’ll discover that you don’t have to disappear to keep the peace, and you don’t have to perform to be loved.

If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe it’s me,” or “Is it selfish to say no?”—this episode is for you.

What You'll Hear in This Episode:

• Personal stories of people-pleasing and the protective roles it plays
• Moments of transformation that shifted everything
• Why coaching is a sacred and powerful tool in healing journeys
• How Scripture anchors the work of both coaches
• Real, practical first steps to move beyond fear-based approval-seeking
• Encouragement that you are not too messy for God’s love—or His purpose
