In this powerful episode, host Tanya Gioia sits down with Jennifer Chase, a "triple winner" whose story illuminates the complex roots of addiction and the transformative power of authentic healing.

Jennifer opens up about growing up in generational addiction, experiencing childhood sexual abuse, and how a brain tumor surgery in her late twenties introduced her to opiates. She shares the pivotal moment when she first felt the drugs' effects: "Where the heck has this been my whole life?" - describing how substances finally quieted the relentless inner critic that had tormented her since childhood.

Key Topics Explored:

- Understanding addiction as a solution, not the problem

- The role of shame, trauma, and feeling like a "square peg in a round hole"

- How family dynamics can unknowingly enable addiction cycles

- The devastating moment Jennifer discovered she had become her son's drug dealer

- Her journey from suicidal ideation to inpatient treatment

- Learning that "the way to save my son was by saving me"

- The difference between false peace (substances) and authentic peace (recovery)

- How boundaries and natural consequences support healing

- The ripple effects of one person's recovery on the entire family

Jennifer's raw honesty about her path from desperation to hope offers invaluable insights for families struggling with addiction. Her story demonstrates that recovery isn't just about getting sober - it's about learning to "dance authentically" together as a family.

Perfect for anyone seeking to understand addiction from the inside out, support a loved one in recovery, or find hope in their own healing journey.

This description captures the essence of Jennifer's story while highlighting the practical wisdom and hope her experience offers to listeners.

When food becomes your closest friend, your comfort, and eventually your captor, where do you turn? In this deeply honest conversation, Kristy McCammon shares her journey from childhood food addiction to finding true freedom through surrendering to Christ.

As a lifelong Christian who still struggled with binge eating and food obsession, Kristy discovered that knowing Jesus wasn't enough - she had to make Him Lord over every area of her life, including her relationship with food. Through tears, surrender, and God's abundant grace, she learned to trade the false comfort of processed foods for the true comfort found only in Christ.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• How childhood trauma can create unhealthy coping mechanisms that follow us into adulthood
• The difference between physical and emotional food cravings
• Practical tools for navigating food pushers and social situations
• Why shame keeps us trapped and how grace sets us free
• The "stop, pray, walk away" method for breaking compulsive eating patterns
• How to advocate for yourself while maintaining loving relationships

Whether you're struggling with food addiction, emotional eating, or any area where you're seeking comfort from sources other than God, this conversation will encourage you to take that next step toward surrender and freedom.

In this powerful and vulnerable episode of Faith Over Addiction, host Tanya Gioia sits down with Rick Cheatham, a former fire captain who transformed his deepest struggles into a ministry of hope and healing. Rick shares his raw, 40-year journey from addiction to restoration—a story that will resonate with anyone facing the hidden battle of pornography addiction or loving someone who is.

• The Prayer That Changed Everything - Rick opens with his specific prayer for a wife and how God's answer came with unexpected challenges that would test his faith for decades.
• From Secret Shame to Serial Betrayal - An honest look at how pornography addiction escalated from magazines to clubs to prostitution, and the devastating impact on his marriage.
• The Moment of Truth - When his wife said "I hate you, I hate God, I hate the church" and walked out with their two young sons, Rick faced a choice that would determine his family's future.
• The Underground Epidemic - Why 25% of pastors struggle with pornography and how the church's silence perpetuates the problem instead of providing healing.
• Childhood Trauma's Hidden Role - Understanding how unhealed wounds from childhood create the perfect storm for sexual addiction in adulthood.
• The Transformation Process - How Rick and his wife rebuilt trust over 10 years and created a marriage that now causes strangers to ask, "How long have you been married? You act like newlyweds!"
• Grace vs. Guilt - Why religious shame often makes the problem worse and how understanding God's true nature became the key to freedom.

Is your constant giving leaving you spiritually and emotionally drained? You’re not alone.

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Family Recovery Coach Tanya Gioia is joined by Dr. Ioana Popa—a nationally board-certified life and leadership coach, psychiatrist, spiritual care provider, and founder of Team For The Soul®. Together, they unpack the often-missed signs of hidden burnout, especially among Christian women supporting loved ones through addiction, ministry, or emotional crises.

Dr. Ioana shares how burnout doesn't just show up in exhaustion—it hides behind our drive to serve, our belief that we must fix everything, and even our spiritual habits. This conversation offers a blend of science, psychology, and deep spiritual wisdom to help you reconnect with yourself, your body, and God.

You’ll learn:

• What hidden burnout really looks like—and why you often don’t notice it until you crash
• The body’s stress response and why you feel wired but tired
• How silence, stillness, and emotional awareness can bring peace in the middle of chaos
• The practice of centering prayer and the biblical invitation to rest
• Why thoughts can’t be controlled, but awareness can transform how you respond
• How Jesus modeled healthy boundaries, rest, and retreat

Are you caught in the chaos of addiction, constantly cleaning up emotional, spiritual, and physical messes that aren't yours? Welcome to Faith Over Addiction, where faith meets real life. Hosted by Family Recovery Coach Tanya Gioia, this podcast is designed to offer Christian women hope, healing, and practical tools to navigate the challenges of loving someone with addiction.

Through biblical truths, heartfelt stories, and actionable guidance, you’ll learn how to set healthy boundaries, find peace in the mess, and reclaim your God-given identity. You don’t have to carry what was never meant to be yours. It’s time to shift from “this is happening to me” to “this is happening for me,” and let God transform the chaos into something that glorifies Him.

Every week, I’m here to encourage you, offer clarity, and remind you that as a daughter of the King, You Always Have Other Options (YAHOO). Together, we’ll embrace faith as the foundation, boundaries as the bridge to healing, and God’s truth as the ultimate guide to freedom, strength, and grace.

Blessings,

Tanya Gioia 🌸

On this deeply moving episode of Faith Over Addiction, host Tanya Gioia welcomes Bill LaMorey, whose extraordinary journey from heroin addiction to becoming a pastor and author offers hope, healing, and powerful lessons in redemption. Bill shares how his mother’s courageous decision to set loving but firm boundaries became a turning point in his life—and how connection, not rejection, helped lay the groundwork for lasting recovery.

Bill recounts his spiritual awakening at Calvary House, a Christian recovery program he once got kicked out of multiple times before eventually leading it as director. He also discusses the emotional and spiritual healing needed beyond sobriety, the role of forgiveness, and how families can support a loved one without enabling them.

Whether you're navigating addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers raw insight, biblical encouragement, and practical tools—including how to form a support team, set boundaries with love, and break the shame cycle through vulnerability and faith.
