Episode Summary: In this episode of If Only One Overcomes, we’re diving into something that often gets overlooked after trauma, loss, betrayal, or hardship: the relationship we have with ourselves.

Before we can form healthy, loving, and stable relationships with others, we must rebuild the connection we’ve lost with our own heart. Because when life hurts us, it can leave us feeling disconnected, guarded, and unsure of who we are or what we need.

Through personal reflections, biblical encouragement, and six practical steps, Katie gently guides us on how to reconnect with ourselves, navigate past relationship pain, and begin forming connections that reflect our healing—not our hurt.

Whether you’ve lost yourself in survival mode or are learning to love again after betrayal, this episode is for you.
