In this powerful and eye-opening episode, we explore the often-overlooked connection between childhood trauma and long-term sickness, disease, and emotional struggles. From scientific research to real-life experiences, you'll discover how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) impact mental, emotional, and even physical health well into adulthood.

I share shocking statistics from the CDC, personal stories of trauma, and the spiritual insights most people aren’t talking about—including how unhealed wounds can open the door to demonic oppression and chronic illness. You’ll also learn practical steps parents can take to spiritually cover their children, reclaim their authority, and begin the healing process right from their own homes.

Suppose you're a parent of a teen struggling with anxiety, fear, panic attacks, or other trauma-related symptoms. In that case, this episode will empower you with hope, healing, and spiritual tools that make a real difference.
