Faith Over Addiction | Biblical Idenity and Boundaries for Loving Someone with Addiction

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

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.

What if the behaviors you're most ashamed of weren’t who you are—but instead reflections of a part of you that’s forgotten your true worth?

In this deeply powerful episode, Tanya sits down with author, speaker, and globally recognized Possibility Coach® Victoria Rader to unpack the idea that “It was unworthy of me—but it is not me.” Together, they explore the difference between our mortal “little m” selves and our eternal “big E” identity in Christ, drawing wisdom from Victoria’s book Prosper Me.

This conversation moves from spiritual identity and emotional healing to practical tools for overcoming addiction, guilt, and suffering. Victoria shares how reframing our experiences through God’s truth can interrupt self-destructive cycles (even when you're on your ninth donut!) and reconnect us to our infinite value. She opens up about how death, even in addiction, can be seen as a form of mercy, and why focusing on Christ’s light within us—and in others—is the most powerful way to bring lasting healing.

You’ll also hear how to stay grounded in your light when surrounded by chaos, the importance of spiritual practices like daily visualization, and how the parable of the five virgins reminds us to be responsible for our own oil.

✨ Whether you're supporting someone in addiction or searching for your own breakthrough, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that your worth has never been up for debate.

On this episode of The Faith Over Addiction Podcast, host Tanya Gioia sits down with Ana Murby to uncover a powerful and rarely discussed topic: pornography addiction among women.

Ana courageously shares her personal story—from a hidden battle that began in childhood to a life transformed through faith, radical honesty, and surrender. As a mother of five and host of the Honest Christian Conversations podcast, Ana opens up about the shame, isolation, and healing journey that led her from secrecy to freedom. Her testimony challenges the stigma that pornography is “only a man’s issue” and sheds light on how women, too, can struggle—and recover—with God’s help.

If you or someone you love is silently suffering, this episode offers hope, truth, and a reminder that healing begins when we break the silence.

• Recognize grief beyond bereavement
• Understand the difference between trauma and healing
• Invite God into the messy middle of your pain

In this powerful episode, Tanya sits down with Jodi Hendricks and she shares her journey of transformation through what she calls her "years of fire." Raised in a Christian home and equipped with all the "right" values, Jodi eventually realized that she was living to meet everyone else's expectations—wearing filters that masked her true self. Through betrayal, loss, and the painful uprooting of key relationships, God showed her that her identity had to be rooted in Him alone.

Jodi challenges us to recognize the inner dissonance that comes from chasing worldly approval and to instead align our thoughts and actions with the Creator’s voice. She shares how she learned to lovingly but firmly question expectations—even from well-meaning Christians—and seek direct confirmation from God. “If the Lord doesn’t lead me there, I’m going to respectfully decline.”

💬 “We have the choice, moment by moment, to believe what the Creator says over what everyone else is saying.”

Listen in as Jodi and Tanya talk about:

• Letting go of the need to prove you’re enough
• Discerning God's voice vs. people-pleasing tendencies
• Handling hurtful friendships and betrayal with grace
• Choosing truth, beauty, and peace—even when your world feels like it’s burning down

This episode is a must-listen if you're learning to filter out the noise and reclaim your worth, identity, and peace in Christ.

What if the painful stories you've believed about yourself aren't the truth—but old scripts waiting to be rewritten by God's voice?

In this powerful episode, Tanya Gioia sits down with trauma-informed coach, therapist, and TEDx speaker Marcy Pusey, who shares her deeply personal journey of overcoming abuse, parenting through pain, and discovering healing through God’s truth. From believing she wasn’t worth fighting for to embracing her God-given worth, Marcy reveals how trauma shapes our nervous systems, how shame keeps us stuck, and how healing begins by telling the truth—first to ourselves, then to others.

Together, Tanya and Marcy explore:

• How trauma lives in the body and affects relationships
• Why our brains crave familiar pain over unfamiliar freedom
• How writing and regulation can help us uncover hidden beliefs
• The role of faith and community in rewiring our stories
• A practical challenge to start your healing journey today

You’ll walk away with tools to shift from anxiety to peace, replace shame with grace, and rewrite the inner narrative that’s been holding you back. This conversation is raw, real, and full of redemptive hope.

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 🌸
