Hey Healing Bestie—today's episode is for the woman who can't shake the weight of her past. If guilt has been whispering lies about your worth, your healing, or your identity in Christ, this is your reminder: There is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1).

In this powerful and personal episode, Toni shares what it looks like to wrestle with guilt after trauma, the difference between conviction and condemnation, and how Jesus invites us to return, be restored, and begin again. Using John 8 and her own testimony, she reminds us that your past does not disqualify you—God’s grace is bigger.

What You’ll Hear:

• Why trauma survivors carry guilt so deeply

• How to stop disqualifying yourself from God’s promises

• The difference between conviction and condemnation

• A powerful testimony of reconciliation and grace

• A deep dive into John 8: The woman caught in adultery

• What Jesus says when you feel like your past defines you

Scriptures Referenced:

• Romans 8:1

• John 8:2–11

• Lamentations 3:22–23 (God’s mercies are new every morning)

If you’ve been feeling unworthy, overwhelmed by shame, or unsure if you can really be free from your past—this episode is for you. Jesus says, “Go and leave your life of sin.” You are not disqualified. It’s time to return.
