Trauma is not just something we remember; it is something the body experiences and holds.

As I begin this new rhythm of alternating between podcast conversations and weekly reflections, I wanted to begin with something foundational. So many women move through life questioning themselves, wondering why certain patterns remain even years later. What experts are helping us understand is this: the body learns survival long before the mind understands it.

This episode is not about staying in the past. It is about understanding ourselves more clearly, and perhaps with a bit more compassion.

In this episode of The Redeeming Stories Podcast, I sit down with Kristen Giacomini, interior designer and founder of Flow Designs, for a conversation that goes far beyond design.

Kristen shares how experiencing deep loss at a young age, along with her own health challenges, shaped the way she sees the world and the spaces we live in. What began as a creative path became something much more intentional. A way of helping people create environments that support how they feel, how they function, and how they move through their daily lives.

We talk about the connection between our surroundings and our well-being, the role of kindness and self-talk in shaping our lives, and how even the hardest experiences can quietly shape us into more grounded, compassionate versions of ourselves.

This conversation is a reminder that healing is not only internal. It is also reflected in the spaces we create, the way we care for ourselves, and the way we choose to live each day.

Over the past several weeks, I have been writing more consistently through the Redeeming Hub, not with the intention of having something polished or complete, but simply to process, to reflect, and to better understand my own story as it continues to unfold.

In this solo episode of The Redeeming Stories Podcast, I step back and reflect on what has been emerging through that writing. Not just the stories themselves, but the patterns underneath them. The voice that has been there all along. The tension between trying to understand the past and learning to accept what cannot be explained.

I talk about the inner child, about identity, and about the ongoing nature of healing. About what it looks like to stop trying to fix what was never yours to fix, and instead begin listening more closely to yourself.

This episode is quieter. More reflective. It is less about answers and more about awareness.

This is the work I continue to share through @redeem_thyself and at juliemlane.com. Not a finished story, but an honest one.

In this episode of The Redeeming Stories Podcast, I’m joined by Sarah Wilkinson, an entrepreneur, mother, and advocate who shares her story of navigating profound loss, health challenges, and the realities of continuing to move forward when life feels anything but steady.

Sarah’s journey includes raising children with epilepsy, facing her own health struggles, and the devastating loss of her youngest son. Through it all, she has continued to build, lead, and show up — even in seasons where strength didn’t feel present.

In this conversation, we talk about resilience in its truest form — not as something polished or performative, but as something quiet, lived, and often unseen. We explore what it means to keep going, to rebuild, and to find purpose again in the middle of grief.

Sarah’s message is one that many need to hear: you don’t have to feel strong to be strong.

This episode reflects the heart of @redeem_thyself; that redemption is not about having it all together, but about continuing forward with honesty, courage, and truth.

Over the past eight weeks, I’ve had the privilege of sitting with incredible guests; each one sharing their story of pain, healing, resilience, and redemption.

And while every story is different, the threads are the same.

In this solo episode of The Redeeming Stories Podcast, I take a step back to reflect on what has been woven through these conversations; the patterns that continue to rise to the surface.

We talk about the reality that healing is not linear, the difference between surviving and truly living, and the quiet truth that your worth was never meant to be earned through suffering.

This episode is an invitation to pause… to reflect… and to recognize that even in the middle of your story, something meaningful is still being formed.

This is the heart of @redeem_thyself; not perfection, not performance, but alignment with truth.

If you’ve been listening, this one is for you.

As I speak with Charlie, I’m reminded that healing is not only about what happens inside a therapy room; it’s about whether that room feels safe enough for truth to emerge.

At @redeem_thyself, we speak often about redemption as alignment with truth. But alignment requires safety. And safety requires care that honors identity, experience, and dignity.

Accessible mental healthcare is not a luxury. It is foundational. When individuals are seen, affirmed, and understood, healing deepens; not because they are fixed, but because they are finally met without distortion.

Charlie, thank you for the work you do and the space you hold for those who have too often been overlooked.

Until next time, this is The Redeeming Stories Podcast. May you continue seeking spaces that see you clearly, honor your story, and support your healing…exactly as you are.

In this episode of The Redeeming Stories Podcast, I’m joined by Caroline Fithen, entrepreneur and Divorce Strategy Advisor, for a deeply honest conversation about motherhood, loss, trauma, and navigating complex family systems.

Caroline’s work was shaped by lived experience; including the loss of her infant son, navigating a wrongful death case, and later facing the realities of an abusive marriage and divorce. Through those experiences, she saw a critical gap: women are often left to make life-altering decisions for their families while overwhelmed, unsupported, and navigating systems that were never designed with their full reality in mind.

Today, through her Divorce Strategy Intensives and her broader work, Caroline helps women move from confusion to clarity; empowering them to become active participants in the legal process while creating more stable outcomes for themselves and their children.

In our conversation, we explore child abuse prevention, the impact of power imbalances within families, and the importance of healing spaces that go beyond simply retelling the story of harm.

This episode reflects the heart of @redeem_thyself; reclaiming your voice, your agency, and your direction, even when life has been shaped by loss and instability.

Emma shares her powerful story of surviving suicidal depression as a teenager and how that experience shaped her life’s mission: helping young people understand that even when life feels unbearable, their story is not over.

Today, Emma is a nationally recognized advocate for youth suicide prevention, serving as the Youth Suicide Prevention Coordinator for the Nevada Department of Education while working to change the way mental health education is taught in schools across the United States.

In our conversation, we explore youth mental health, the importance of prevention and education, and why honest conversations about emotional wellbeing can save lives.

Emma’s message is simple, but deeply needed: even if life isn’t OK right now, one day it can be.

If this conversation resonates with you, please remember that you are not alone and support is available.

In this special episode of The Redeeming Stories Podcast, the microphone is turned the other way.

I had the privilege of joining Susan Day on her Australian radio program Mental Health Matters: Voice of Change on Goldfields FM 99.1, where we spoke about trauma, healing, and the journey of reclaiming one’s voice and purpose.

During this conversation, Susan invited me to share my personal story — from surviving childhood trauma and complex adversity to building the work I now do through Redeem Thyself, 7 Pedals, and my broader mission of helping others move from survival into dignity, clarity, and redemption.

We talk about resilience, faith, creativity, and how healing is not about erasing the past, but integrating it with truth.

I’m grateful to Susan for holding such thoughtful space for this conversation and for the work she continues to do in the mental health community.

If you’ve ever wondered how pain can become purpose, this conversation is for you.

This week, there’s no guest. Just me. And maybe that’s fitting; because what I want to talk about today is something I’ve seen in almost every woman I’ve spoken with, and something I’ve lived myself.
