She Survived Abuse. How God Met Her in the Healing

Some healing stories are quiet. Others are hard won.

In this episode, I sit down with best selling ghostwriter and author Leslie Montgomery to talk about her memoir Insatiable and her journey of healing after childhood abuse.

Leslie shares what it took to rebuild her life, reclaim her identity, and learn to trust God again after deep trauma. We talk honestly about self abandonment, forgiveness as a process, and how faith can support real healing without bypassing pain. She also speaks to the role of community, mentorship, and choosing wholeness one step at a time.

This conversation offers hope to anyone who wonders if healing is still possible after what they have lived through. It reminds us that redemption does not erase the past but it can reshape the future.

Takeaways

• Healing from trauma is possible but it takes time and support

• Identity rooted in Christ restores worth after self abandonment

• Forgiveness is a process, not a one time decision

• Faith can walk with healing without minimizing pain

• Community and mentorship matter in recovery

• New beginnings are possible in every season of life
