In this powerful episode, host Tanya Gioia sits down with Katie Lain to explore the science behind The Sinclair Method (TSM) — a revolutionary, medication-assisted approach to alcohol recovery that works while someone is still drinking. Katie shares her personal 10-year struggle with alcohol, her discovery of TSM, and the hope it offers to those who haven’t found success in traditional recovery programs.They also dive into how addiction rewires the brain, why abstinence isn’t always the answer, and how faith and freedom can work hand in hand. If you or someone you love feels stuck in the cycle of addiction or relapse, this episode brings real hope and a path forward.Key Points DiscussedAddiction changes brain chemistry — it’s not just about willpower.The Sinclair Method uses naltrexone to reduce the brain’s reward from alcohol.Over time, this approach helps people unlearn addiction and reduce cravings.TSM is effective for alcohol, porn, sex, gambling, and binge eating.The treatment is private, affordable (~$99/month), and done from home.Less than 2% of eligible individuals are offered naltrexone due to industry resistance.Katie shares how she came to faith after recovery, realizing God doesn’t require us to be “fixed” first.The Holy Spirit brings gentle conviction, not shame — inviting us to freedom.Resources & MentionsWebsite: https://www.thrivealcoholrecovery.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCdeh0LP6kuSQ9GsorQpVnUw Books:Hungry Ghosts by Gabor Maté - https://a.co/d/fjlfESdThe Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning - https://a.co/d/004S1JoFree Gfit : Get this free list of Christian affirmations that spell out who you are in God – actual in God’s own words.

What if the behaviors you're most ashamed of weren’t who you are—but instead reflections of a part of you that’s forgotten your true worth?In this deeply powerful episode, Tanya sits down with author, speaker, and globally recognized Possibility Coach® Victoria Rader to unpack the idea that “It was unworthy of me—but it is not me.” Together, they explore the difference between our mortal “little m” selves and our eternal “big E” identity in Christ, drawing wisdom from Victoria’s book Prosper Me.This conversation moves from spiritual identity and emotional healing to practical tools for overcoming addiction, guilt, and suffering. Victoria shares how reframing our experiences through God’s truth can interrupt self-destructive cycles (even when you're on your ninth donut!) and reconnect us to our infinite value. She opens up about how death, even in addiction, can be seen as a form of mercy, and why focusing on Christ’s light within us—and in others—is the most powerful way to bring lasting healing.You’ll also hear how to stay grounded in your light when surrounded by chaos, the importance of spiritual practices like daily visualization, and how the parable of the five virgins reminds us to be responsible for our own oil.✨ Whether you're supporting someone in addiction or searching for your own breakthrough, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that your worth has never been up for debate.👉 Take a Quantum Leap to Freedom!

In this powerful episode, Tanya sits down with Jodi Hendricks and she shares her journey of transformation through what she calls her "years of fire." Raised in a Christian home and equipped with all the "right" values, Jodi eventually realized that she was living to meet everyone else's expectations—wearing filters that masked her true self. Through betrayal, loss, and the painful uprooting of key relationships, God showed her that her identity had to be rooted in Him alone.Jodi challenges us to recognize the inner dissonance that comes from chasing worldly approval and to instead align our thoughts and actions with the Creator’s voice. She shares how she learned to lovingly but firmly question expectations—even from well-meaning Christians—and seek direct confirmation from God. “If the Lord doesn’t lead me there, I’m going to respectfully decline.”💬 “We have the choice, moment by moment, to believe what the Creator says over what everyone else is saying.”Listen in as Jodi and Tanya talk about:Letting go of the need to prove you’re enoughDiscerning God's voice vs. people-pleasing tendenciesHandling hurtful friendships and betrayal with graceChoosing truth, beauty, and peace—even when your world feels like it’s burning downThis episode is a must-listen if you're learning to filter out the noise and reclaim your worth, identity, and peace in Christ.👉 Grab your copy of #NoFilter: Unmasking the Woman God Created You to Be: https://www.amazon.com/NoFilter-Unmasking-Woman-God-Created/dp/1649606958👉 Explore all resources & sign up for devotionals: https://jodihendricks.com/ Free Gfit : Get this free list of Christian affirmations that spell out who you are in God – actual in God’s own words.
