In this episode of Faith Over Addiction, Tanya Gioia sits down with Dr. Samantha Blake Harte, a beacon of resilience who seamlessly blends her roles as a Doctor, Choreographer, Speaker, Podcast Host, Author, and Retreat Leader. Dr. Harte’s journey through profound personal trials, including her mother’s mental illness, betrayal, loss, and addiction, has led her to become a powerful guide for others. She is the author of Breaking The Circuit: How To Rewire Your Mind for Hope, Resilience, and Joy in the Face of Trauma, where she shares a universal blueprint for overcoming adversity.

Samantha shares her powerful story of growing up in an environment shaped by addiction and emotional dysfunction, and how that led to her own struggles with self-abandonment, perfectionism, and substance abuse. With 16 years of sobriety, Samantha offers deep insights into the complexities of addiction, the impact of family dynamics, and the importance of faith and self-worth in the healing process. She provides hope and encouragement for Christian women who are navigating the challenges of loving someone in active addiction.

Tune in for an honest conversation about the truth of addiction, the power of transformation, and how God's grace can lead us to freedom.

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 🌸
