I don’t re-listen to my own podcast episodes often, but I’ll be replaying this one many times over. My guest Dr. Dan Allender is a trauma therapist. And if you just assumed this episode has nothing for you, consider Dr. Allender’s words: “All life east of Eden is a form of trauma.”

Whew. 

So, yeah, you need to hear this. Dr. Allender’s work has been a gamechanger in my life and I insist that you have access to his wisdom, too! He has given me a framework for understanding, grieving, and telling my story, and I cannot think of a more trustworthy voice to speak into our conversation on identity formation. 

On this episode, the kind and brilliant Dr. Allender shares…

  • The one thing you can do to take a step toward health

  • Why wrestling with God can be a form of worship

  • How to create the community you long to be a part of

If you want support in becoming who you’re meant to be, this episode is for you.
