In this powerful episode, part 4 of the Reclaiming Safety & Power After Sexual Abuse series, I welcome Beth Brunk, a woman who has triumphed over unimaginable pain and betrayal. Raised in a strict fellowship, Beth faced years of sexual abuse and pornography addiction in her marriage, leaving her with deep emotional scars. Through faith and relentless healing work, she is now living a life of freedom, self-forgiveness, and abundance.

Beth opens up about the painful moments in her marriage, the struggles with religious teachings that kept her trapped, and the personal transformation she’s undergone through prayer, self-care, and breaking generational strongholds. She shares her journey to reclaim her power, the difficult decision to divorce, and the healing that followed.

This conversation is raw, inspiring, and may be triggering for some, but it’s also a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with betrayal trauma or toxic relationships. Join me as Beth shows us how to navigate the path to healing, forgiveness, and reclaiming your true power in the face of unimaginable adversity.

If you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship, Beth offers practical advice on seeking support and finding your way out. This episode is a reminder that, no matter the depth of your pain, there is a way to heal, grow, and step into the life you deserve.

In Part 3 of my Reclaiming Safety & Power After Sexual Abuse series, I open up about one of the hardest truths: forgiveness is not always owed to our abusers.

In this raw, unfiltered episode, I share why I choose not to forgive those who violated me — and why real healing means forgiving myself instead. I talk about the deep betrayal that comes when the people we trust the most become the ones who hurt us, and the painful layers of shame, anger, and self-blame that can linger for years.

We’ll explore how unresolved trauma shapes our patterns — how what’s “familiar” can keep us stuck in cycles of unhealthy love — and how to reclaim our bodies, our boundaries, and our power.

If you’re ready to finally stop carrying the shame that was never yours, stand up for your worth, and start trusting your own voice again, this episode is for you. You’re not alone — and you do have the power to rewrite your story.

What happens when the people who were supposed to protect you... didn’t? When silence and denial caused as much damage as the abuse itself?

In this deeply moving episode, Darla sits down with The Emotional Chain Breaker herself, Ada Lloyd, for an unflinching conversation about the long-term effects of sexual abuse—and what it really takes to heal. Ada shares her own story of surviving childhood sexual abuse, the devastating moment her mother refused to believe her, and the journey that led her to create a life of emotional freedom.

Together, they discuss:

• Why denial and shame from others can deepen trauma
• How hidden barriers like imposter syndrome and trust issues often trace back to childhood abuse
• The emotional toll of maintaining a “strong” facade—and the liberation that comes from dropping it
• What it means to truly own your story and choose who you want to become
• How Ada’s “Yellow Pad Strategy” helps clients rewire their inner dialogue and quiet the critical voices that were never theirs to begin with

This episode is raw, empowering, and deeply validating. If you’ve ever felt alone in your story or wondered why healing feels so hard, this conversation will help you see that not only is healing possible—it’s your birthright.

Trigger warning: This episode contains discussions of sexual abuse and trauma. Please take care while listening.
