Sandi Derby | Child Satanic Sexual Abuse, Meth Addiction, and Miracles


Listen Later

Sandi Derby, a fellow Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist, and Life Coach, shares her life's traumatic story that led her to do the work she does today.

As a child, Sandi was sexually abused by her father, followed by sexual, satanic/ritualistic abuse at her uncle's hands (a pastor) and his friend (also a pastor).

In adulthood, she became a functioning meth addict (by outside appearances)  for 3 1/2 years until a pivotal, life-changing moment woke her up, and her transformational journey began.

Sandi didn't say this, but I think if you listen to her story, you may agree that how she's been able to turn her life around is a miracle. And, what she did say, was that she heard God speaking to her.

Growing up in an anti-God home to finding faith, God, and a spiritual connection has been the miracle in Sandi's life.

Life is mysterious, and so is this greater force, whatever you choose to call it: God, Universe, Spirit, etc., that work through us and with us. We are the co-creators of our lives, and Sandi shares what that journey has been like for her.

"Your past is your present until it's healed."
