There are moments in life when the wounds run deep—when addiction, abuse, or trauma threaten to define us, silence us, and steal our power. But within those moments also lies a quiet strength—the strength to survive, to speak, and ultimately, to heal.  This episode is a journey into that space of resilience and recovery. It’s an exploration of how we negotiate with our past—not to erase it, but to understand it, to transform it, and to reclaim our future. Today’s episode promises to be especially impactful as we dive into the topic of Negotiating Past Addictions, Abuse, and Other Trauma. Cindy Watson is joined by the remarkable Evelyn Leite—an accomplished author of 18 books and a counselor with over 35 years of experience helping people heal from deep wounds and navigate life’s toughest challenges. Evelyn is a featured speaker and active member of Christian Women Speakers. She brings a compassionate and insightful lens to issues like trauma recovery, relationship dynamics, communication breakdowns, and addiction. Known for her transformative seminars in multicultural counseling, Evelyn has a unique gift for reaching people across diverse backgrounds and experiences. Whether you've struggled with addiction, survived abuse, or love someone who has, this conversation is about reclaiming your story, rewriting your narrative, and negotiating a future grounded in healing and hope.
