Lisa never claims to have all the answers. This became abundantly clear when she read through someone else's post on Facebook, expressing their comfort with cutting someone out of their life. We all deal with toxic relationships, and have probably had to simply turn our backs on someone we used to believe was a friend. But what would Jesus do? And whatever He would do, does He require or empower us to do the same?
In this episode, Lisa shares briefly her own experience of "walking away," and asks some probing questions about whether it was the right thing to do.

Scripture has provided a resounding "NO!" in answer to the questions of whether we are unloved or unwanted (see parts 2 & 3 of this series). But what about the question of whether we are worthy? Deserving blessing? When feelings of unworthiness express themselves to the extreme, we can become self-abusive, prone to self-medicating our pain or succumb to addictions. We need to recognize what the Word of God says about our "worth." In this episode, Lisa opens the scriptures and shares the cure for insomnia that's caused by a painful lie. And you might be surprised by the road she takes you down today.

This is part III of the series I'm doing regarding the emotional baggage that keeps Christian Drama Queens like me, abandoned and recovering from childhood trauma, awake at night. Am I as unwanted as I've convinced myself I am? Where is God on the subject? Am I truly the last thing on His mind? And why wouldn't I be?

This episode is a little longer and a little different from Lisa's typical Drama Queen excursions. This week Lisa talks about her 25 years as a homeschooling mom. What led her to do it?

Pros and cons alike, today we find answers, surprises and encouragement.

Discarded Daughters struggle with the desire to be needed, wanted, loved, accepted...and often don't turn down opportunities to put out someone else's fire, when deep down they know they should. In this episode, Lisa shares her heartbreak over having to turn down an opportunity she was just certain had God's fingerprints all over it. Why was it so hard to say, "no," though? Was she desperate for approval, or maybe she was just too proud to admit her plate was too full?

The is the second episode in the series, What Keeps YOU Up @ Night? - The CDQ's Bible Study Through Emotional Bondage. In this episode, Lisa gives the Biblical ammunition to fight the deception many traumatized women believe; "Nobody loves me." Many born-again believers buy into the stinkin' thinkin' that they are not lovable and therefore cant NOT be loved. Nothing could be further from the truth, and in today's episode, Lisa starts walking her listeners through the journey to claim their freedom in the truth; they ARE loved...and she proves it!

In this episode, Lisa shares a list of emotional bondage that haunts most all Christians at some point in time. They carry guilt, doubt, self-loathing, pain from a traumatic past, lack of trust in a God they've claimed to be devoted to, and more. She encourages the listener to dig in deep to the Word of God to find answers and to travel the journey of God-Discovery in this, and the next several weeks of episodes. If you know in your heart of hearts your fellowship with Jesus is less than "deep," stay tuned, Sister!

Recently I've been doing a lot of grief "counseling" with women burdened by loss. And it's brought up some painful memories of my own. In this episode, I share the stories of children we fell in love with but were never allowed to parent. Aside from being heartbroken, we also had to let those babies go...knowing the situations they'd be going do might not be the safest places for them. Our hearts were engaged in every situation. What was God doing? Why were we not allowed to keep those babies? And why were we allowed to raise three others?
PS: I apologize for the space heater running in the audio...but it's cold in Kansas and minus 12 degrees means having a space heater going in the control room. Thanks for understanding, liking, sharing and reviewing anyway!

Welcome to Diary of a Discarded Daughter, a Christian podcast about healing from childhood trauma, abandonment, abuse, rejection, and discovering who God really is in the middle of…
Hosted by Lisa Schafer, founder of Christian Drama Queen Solutions, this podcast follows her forty-year journey through childhood sexual abuse, abandonment, betrayal, and the painful questions that often follow deep emotional wounds.
But this isn't simply a story about surviving trauma. It's the story of a forty-year battle to understand God.
After being abandoned and abused as a child, Lisa spent decades wrestling with questions many Christians quietly carry:
Where was God when I was being hurt?
Why didn't He stop it?
If God loves me, why did He allow it?
How can I trust a Heavenly Father when the people who were supposed to protect me failed me?
The wounds of her childhood shaped not only how she viewed herself, but how she viewed God. Pain, bitterness, fear, and unanswered questions distorted her understanding of His love, His character, and His purpose for her life.
Through years of searching, studying Scripture, wrestling with hard truths, and experiencing the healing power of Jesus Christ, Lisa discovered that God had never abandoned her. Instead, He was patiently renewing her mind, healing her heart, and teaching her to see both herself and Him through the truth of His Word rather than the lens of her trauma.
Each week, Lisa shares personal stories, biblical insights, practical encouragement, and lessons learned along the way as she helps listeners navigate their own healing journeys.
Topics include:
With raw honesty, heartfelt conversations, biblical wisdom, and occasional humor at her own expense, Lisa creates a space where women can stop pretending, start healing, and get honest about the wounds they've carried for far too long.
Whether you're struggling with trauma, wrestling with unanswered questions, battling bitterness, or searching for God's purpose in your pain, this podcast offers hope that healing is possible.
Not because the past changes. But because God changes us.
Grab your Bible, bring your questions, and join Lisa each week as she shares how God transforms discarded daughters into women who are healed, restored, and walking confidently in His purpose.
Because your wounds may explain your story—but they do not define it.
God gets the final word.
