  • Summary

  • Do events from your past plague and haunt you? Are you walking through a storm that feels like it will never end? Is your battle rendering you hopeless? You desire to be a Warrior like Joan of Arc, but at the end of the day, you just feel like Mrs. Banks from Mary Poppins. No more, my friend! You may feel like you’re fighting alone, but this battle was never meant to be a solo endeavor. You were meant to be a Warrior among Warriors. I, too, grew up thinking my battles were mine alone. Until I found myself in an abusive marriage and felt cut off from all avenues of help. Life dealt its blows. One after another. It wasn’t until I finally realized life’s battles weren’t meant to be fought alone that I began not only to survive but thrive. In this podcast, you will hear stories from Warriors; the Warriors’ Words. They will tell you of their battles, the ones they won and the ones they lost. You will hear their journeys and the lessons they learned along the way. But we don’t stop there. These Warriors will share how they have taken lessons learned and started thriving. We share how we have found the Beauty in the Broken. Whether it’s an abusive marriage, a serious illness, a mental health crisis, or any number of traumas this world dishes out, these Warriors will use their Words to help you find the beauty in your broken, move beyond your battles and become the Thrivor God created you to be. Now pick up your sword - or boxing gloves - and join me in battle. Your words are powerful, my friends, let’s make them Warrior Words!

    51. Christmas Isn't Always the Same for Trauma Survivors - I See You
    Dec 24 2024

    Welcome to Episode 51 of the Warrior Words podcast!

    This episode is my Christmas message and I share some things that may help, or at least provoke thought, you navigate this season of profound peace, love, and joy when, perhaps, those are not the feelings you are experiencing.

    Know that you are seen and loved. Period.

    Whatever you are walking through right now; no matter your situation, I see you. But more importantly, God sees you and is walking beside you. Maybe, He's even carrying you through.

    I hope you find some comfort in this episode. You are not alone.

    Armor Up.

    Fight the Good Fight.

    Seek Beauty.

    49. Surviving Three Back-to-Back Traumas with Nichole Haugen
    Dec 10 2024

    Welcome to Episode 49 of the Warrior Words podcast!

    Strike one. Strike two. Strike three.

    What comes next?

    You're out, right? Well, not for this week's guest!

    Nichole was hit with three strikes in approximately six months, as the mother of six young children.

    Adding a large financial crisis on top of the deaths of two significant people in her life, was not the way she wanted to end 2019 and begin 2020. But that's the way life unfolded for her.

    Tune in to learn how she dealt with these three painful strikes and then how she corrected that solution.
