One of the most powerful, and most misunderstood steps toward healing from trauma is forgiveness. June Hunt, founder of the biblical counseling ministry Hope for the Heart, joins Aliza to share her own story of childhood trauma and unpack what forgiveness truly means; not weakness, but the courageous choice to remove the offender from your emotional hook. If you've ever struggled to forgive someone who never said they were sorry, this conversation will give you both the clarity and the courage to move forward.

What happens when the person who should protect you most becomes the source of your deepest wounds? In this episode, Aliza sits down with Julie Ann Rose, who survived a childhood marked by unimaginable trauma and exploitation at the hands of her own father, experiences that followed her long after she escaped her home.
