  • Survivor or Victim: Embracing Identity and Power in the Healing Journey
    2024/04/11

    Navigating the path of healing after sexual abuse, many struggle with the label that defines their experience: are we "survivors" or "victims"? This episode grapples with the weight these words carry, as I, Michelle Hall, Christian Life Coach and host of Broken to Blessed, open up about my personal journey and the reasons behind my choice to embrace the term "survivor." Through this exploration, we uncover the profound impact language has on our recovery narrative and consider the perspectives of others who share this painful chapter in their lives.

    We also shine a light on the upcoming Survivors Ball, a space of honor and celebration for the bravery and enduring spirit of women who have risen above their circumstances. As we dissect the implications of the words we use to describe ourselves, we're not just engaging in a theoretical debate—we're actively participating in the shaping of our identities and the reclaiming of power over our stories. Tune in for an honest discussion on this nuanced aspect of the healing process, and discover how these labels reflect our ongoing challenges and triumphs.

  • A Stand for Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Child Abuse Prevention Month
    2024/04/04

    Navigating the path from pain to empowerment takes courage and community, something I understand intimately as a survivor and Christian Life Coach. This month's episodes of Broken to Blessed are dedicated to raising awareness around Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), National Child Abuse Prevention Month, and National Financial Literacy Month. I'm Michelle Hall, and I'm inviting you on a powerful journey that intertwines the significance of the teal ribbon with the preventative measures against child abuse and the importance of financial literacy in healing.

    During our discussions, we'll explore the deep historical roots of SAAM and the intertwining relationship between sexual and child abuse prevention. Expect heartfelt stories, educational insights, and a call to action as we don teal and blue in solidarity. Moreover, we'll examine how financial well-being contributes to a holistic healing process and why financial literacy is essential for survivors. As we illuminate these interconnected issues, our collective voice grows stronger—join us as we transform awareness into action and tragedy into triumph.

  • From Invisibility to Presence: Reclaiming Your Narrative
    2024/03/07

    As we step into Women's History Month, I, Michelle Hall, embrace the raw and poignant stories that have sculpted our identities as women. With 'Broken to Blessed', we honor the magnitude of women's achievements and confront the sobering reality of childhood sexual abuse—a reality I know all too well. This episode is a tapestry of celebration and vulnerability, threading the powerful contributions of women in history with the personal narratives that often remain hidden.

    Emboldening women to step out of the shadows and into the light of visibility, I extend a heartfelt invitation to our Journey to Freedom program. It's a sanctuary for growth and healing where women can foster a deeper sense of self and emerge as the authors of their own stories. My message is one of hope and transformation, urging listeners to pass along this episode as a beacon of support. Together, we traverse the intricate journey from feeling unseen to a place of presence and recognition. Join us, and be part of a collective movement that champions the voices of women and the sacredness of our shared experiences.

  • Unearthing Our Intrinsic Value: A Journey from Self-Doubt to Divine Worthiness
    2024/02/22

    Have you ever felt like you were constantly striving for acceptance, drowning in a sea of self-doubt and self-neglect? As your host and Christian life coach, Michelle Hall, I've walked that same rocky path, grappling with deep-seated feelings of unworthiness—echoes from a childhood marred by sexual abuse. But hope is not lost; our conversation today serves as a beacon for healing, guiding us to unearth the unshakeable truth of our value in God's eyes. We'll look closely at those behaviors that betray our inner struggles and learn how to cultivate self-awareness, which is critical in redefining our sense of worth from within. No longer do we need to seek validation from the world; instead, we learn to cherish and uphold our intrinsic value.

    Our journey doesn't end with self-realization; it blooms into the art of self-nurturing and the crafting of a life narrative brimming with self-honor and joy. I open my heart to you about my early marriage at just 21 and the abandonment that left scars, revealing how unaddressed childhood wounds can wreak havoc on our adult lives and relationships. But as we traverse this path together, I’ll share the steps I took to heal, to find my voice, and to stand in a place of self-love. We’ll talk about the power of faith in our healing process, and how turning to God can be instrumental in restoring what was lost. This is our time to move from broken to blessed, embracing a future where we are defined not by our past, but by the strength and worth we've always possessed. Join us for this transformative episode of Broken to Blessed, and remember to hit subscribe for more empowering stories.

  • The Healing Power of Journaling: A Merge of Spirituality and Self-Discovery
    2024/02/14

    Have you ever sensed the profound power of words to heal the deepest wounds of the soul? Join me, Michelle Hall, along with the insightful Dr. Radisha Brown, as we navigate the transformative journey of journaling. Our heart-to-heart unfolds the incredible ways this practice can guide you from the shadows of your subconscious trauma to a place of conscious healing and clarity. Dr. Radisha, a licensed therapist with a zeal for mental wellness, brings her vibrant personality and expertise to light as we explore journaling as a portal to self-discovery and reclaiming your life's purpose.

    Trauma can leave us feeling powerless, but our discussion reveals that the key to healing is never held by those who inflicted the pain. Instead, we find strength in strategies like the "empty chair" exercise and journaling, which become our silent allies, allowing us to voice our emotions and step into our authenticity. I share heartfelt stories, mine and from those I've coached, illustrating the cathartic release and sense of ownership that comes from pouring our innermost thoughts onto a page. Dr. Radisha and I emphasize that while professional therapy is irreplaceable, journaling can be a personal sanctuary, a safe harbor for those waves of emotion that need to be acknowledged and embraced.

    As our conversation comes to an end, we merge the spiritual with the introspective, highlighting how the interweaving of prayer and journaling can profoundly impact personal growth. Dr. Radisha's faith-driven insights and my coaching experiences converge to inspire you to embark on this journey towards wholeness. Together, we champion the holistic approach to wellness, inviting you to prioritize your mental, physical, and spiritual well-being and join us on this path of transformation.
