Show Notes
In this powerful episode of Faith Over Addiction, host Tanya Gioia sits down with Lane Kennedy—Functional DNA Nutritionist, Stress Management Expert, and woman with 29 years of sobriety—to talk about nervous system regulation, recovery, and faith in the middle of chaos.
Lane shares her deeply personal journey from addiction to long-term sobriety, and how becoming a mother unexpectedly led her into postpartum depression and rage—emotions she had never experienced before. A breaking point outside her car in San Francisco became the catalyst for a life-changing realization and the work she does today.
This conversation is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, emotionally dysregulated, or stuck in cycles of numbing, avoidance, or burnout. Lane offers practical, science-backed tools for calming the nervous system, understanding your unique genetic blueprint, and finding stillness—even when life feels unbearable.

Are you caught in the chaos of addiction, constantly cleaning up emotional, spiritual, and physical messes that aren't yours? Welcome to Faith Over Addiction, where faith meets real life. Hosted by Family Recovery Coach Tanya Gioia, this podcast is designed to offer Christian women hope, healing, and practical tools to navigate the challenges of loving someone with addiction.
Through biblical truths, heartfelt stories, and actionable guidance, you’ll learn how to set healthy boundaries, find peace in the mess, and reclaim your God-given identity. You don’t have to carry what was never meant to be yours. It’s time to shift from “this is happening to me” to “this is happening for me,” and let God transform the chaos into something that glorifies Him.
Every week, I’m here to encourage you, offer clarity, and remind you that as a daughter of the King, You Always Have Other Options (YAHOO). Together, we’ll embrace faith as the foundation, boundaries as the bridge to healing, and God’s truth as the ultimate guide to freedom, strength, and grace.
Blessings,
Tanya Gioia 🌸
