In this heartfelt and deeply personal episode, I share my journey of growing up in a small Arkansas town and the challenges I faced within my family. From childhood trauma, emotional neglect, and abuse to the devastating impact of fear, anxiety, and panic attacks, I open up about how these experiences shaped my life.
But the story doesn’t end there.
I recount the miraculous moments when God intervened, bringing healing and deliverance. You’ll hear how faith transformed my darkest days and led me to a place of peace and joy. Now, I’m passionate about helping teens who struggle with anxiety, fear, and the lingering effects of trauma.
If your teen is battling similar challenges and you’re seeking faith-based support, this episode offers hope and encouragement. Join me as I share how God turned my pain into purpose and how I’m dedicated to walking alongside others on their journey to healing.

You know how to be there for everyone else. But when someone asks what you need, what you want, or who you are beyond your responsibilities, the answer may feel harder to find.
Overcoming Trauma is a Christian podcast for women who want to understand how their past influences their present and explore who they are beneath the expectations, habits, and roles they carry.
I’m Melania Macias, Coach Mel, a Christian Coach & Mentor. Together, we’ll explore everyday moments that can reveal deeper patterns: saying yes when you want to say no, questioning your decisions, feeling responsible for everyone’s emotions, or struggling to rest without guilt.
Through thoughtful coaching questions, personal stories, and Biblical mentoring, each episode offers space to reflect on what matters to you, recognize beliefs you may have carried for years, and consider practical next steps that honor your values and Christian faith.
We’ll talk about identity in Christ, boundaries, relationships, fear, people-pleasing, and learning to express your needs. We’ll also explore Scripture and what it means to trust God as you make decisions and navigate change.
Whether you’re beginning to understand your story or considering what comes next, you’re welcome here. Bring your questions, your faith, and your willingness to get to know yourself more deeply.
