Grit 'n' Grace: The Podcast for Highly Sensitive Christian Women

In a frank discussion, Amy an Cheri process the steps (and mis-steps) required to move into a victorious life. They unpack how to leave your old stories in favor of the new one, how to leverage your past as a tool, and how to vanquish your habit of trying to fix it all. It takes God's power to remake our old stories into victory stories, but it's possible!

People almost always become a victim by circumstances beyond their control, but even when your circumstances change, it's hard to lose the label.

Although it's a painful journey, Cynthia shows us with her own life that it's possible. Don't miss this unique and powerful episode.
