In this bonus episode of Affirming Truths, Carla sits down with Christian life coach and podcast host Joy Johnson to share a powerful testimony of loss, resilience, and the goodness of God.

Joy opens up about losing her mother, grandmother, and brother to suicide—and how generational trauma shaped her early years. With raw honesty and deep faith, she shares how God brought restoration, equipped her to break unhealthy emotional patterns, and led her to create the Joyful Fit Life community, where women of faith find clarity, consistency, and Christ-centered support.

If you've ever wondered how to see God's goodness in the middle of heartbreak, this episode will encourage you to hold onto hope, embrace healing, and choose joy.
