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.

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 🌸
