What do you do when life shatters around you? When the very people who were supposed to love and protect you are the ones who cause the deepest wounds?

In this powerful episode of Breaking the Silence, I sit down with Dana Hildebrand, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Transformational Faith-Based Life Coach, who knows firsthand what it means to feel abandoned, broken, and lost. After enduring the trauma of sexual abuse and the devastating heartbreak of her husband walking out on her and their newborn, Dana’s pain led her to a breaking point—one that landed her in the hospital.

But her story didn’t end there. Through faith, resilience, and a relentless pursuit of healing, Dana found her way back—stronger, freer, and with a purpose to help others do the same.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by your past, if trauma has made you question your worth, or if you’re searching for hope in the middle of your own storm, this episode is for you. You are not alone. Healing is possible. And Dana’s story is living proof that even the most shattered hearts can be made whole again.

Tune in, be encouraged, and take the next step toward your own healing journey. 💜
