    Interview with Ashtyn: Survival in a dysfunctional home
    Nov 19 2025
    Survival in a Dysfunctional Home unpacks Ashtyn’s powerful and heart-rending journey growing up inside a family system marked by addiction, emotional instability, and generational dysfunction.
    With a father consumed by alcoholism and a mother deeply codependent, often dissociative, shut down, and unable to function, Ashtyn was forced into a parental role far too early. She became the emotional and practical caregiver not only for her biological younger brother, but also for her younger adoptive brother, who depended on her for stability and protection.

    While other children were learning, playing, and being nurtured, Ashtyn was cooking, comforting, problem-solving, and carrying responsibilities that shaped her entire sense of self. In this candid episode, she opens up about the trauma of being “the strong one,” the survival patterns her body learned, and what it truly feels like to break out of dysfunction and step into healing.

    Her story will resonate with anyone who grew up raising siblings, managing chaotic households, or trying to survive the emotional fallout of adults who were never emotionally present.

    From Posterchild of Tragedy to Testimony: The Story of Survival and Strength

    In this powerful and deeply moving episode of Emerge and Empower Podcast TV, Dr. LinJ sits down with a remarkable guest whose life is a living testimony of resilience, redemption, and faith.

    At just 11 years old, she wrote her first suicide letter. By 16, she had attempted suicide for the first time. Years of battling bipolar disorder, depression, PTSD, and social anxiety led her into cycles of addiction, loss, and pain that were rarely spoken about in her family. Yet through it all, God preserved her story for purpose.

    Haunted by the loss of dear friends like Stepf, she eventually found her calling through those very tragedies, transforming grief into mission. As a multimedia artist, certified art therapy practitioner, and mental health advocate, she founded Project W.I.N.G.S. (We Inspire Nurture Guide and Support), a faith-based initiative dedicated to helping others navigate the storms of mental health and trauma with hope and healing.

    In this episode, she opens her heart about survival, faith, and the courage it takes to be the voice for others still fighting in silence. Because her story, like so many others, is not over, it’s emerging.

  • Interview with Xanet: Reclaiming the Body, Pleasure, and Power

    Interview with Xanet: Reclaiming the Body, Pleasure, and Power
    Oct 29 2025
    Reclaiming the Body, Pleasure, and Power

    For more than two decades, Xanet lived what appeared to be the perfect life, a thriving career, a lasting marriage, two grown children, yet her spirit and body were numb. For 26 years, she had shut down her voice, her pleasure, and her sense of self.

    What began as silence became a story of awakening. From childhood shame to medical gaslighting, from invasive procedures to emotional abandonment, she learned to disconnect from her own body just to survive. But through somatic therapy and embodied healing, she rediscovered her voice, her pleasure, and her power.

    In this deeply honest episode, she opens up about what it means to live an orgasmic life, to come home to your body, reclaim your worth, and embrace divine joy without shame or fear.

    This conversation invites every listener to remember: You are not broken. You were conditioned to disconnect. And healing begins the moment you choose to return to yourself.

    Interview with Gina Economopoulos: Grace in Unexpected Places - From Convent to Barroom
    Oct 8 2025
    In this heartfelt episode of Emerge & Empower Podcast TV, Dr. LinJ sits down with Gina Economopoulos, whose extraordinary journey spans childhood trauma, convent life, barrooms, and ultimately, grace.

    Born into a vibrant Italian-Greek Catholic family in Syosset, New York, Gina’s life was marked by both love and hardship. After enduring multiple surgeries as a child, she developed resilience that would carry her through many unexpected turns. From a degree in social science to blending social work with bartending, Gina navigated different worlds with a heart for people.

    Following her mother’s passing, she entered the convent, where she spent twelve years, before life led her down a path of love, loss, and ultimately, sobriety through Alcoholics Anonymous. Today, she serves as an End of Life Doula, bringing compassion and faith to others in their final chapters.
    Gina’s story reminds us that grace can show up in the most unexpected places.
