What do you do when your body breaks down, life feels impossible, and healing seems out of reach?
In this powerful conversation, Tanya Gioia sits down with Melissa Prusinski — author and founder of Our Healing Farm — to share her journey from being bedridden with late-stage neurological Lyme disease to building a faith-led healing ministry.
After years of suffering, isolation, and desperation, Melissa reached a breaking point… and that’s when God spoke two unexpected words: “use the horses.”
What followed was a journey of faith, healing, and discovering purpose in the middle of pain.
If you’re feeling stuck, exhausted, or wondering why your healing is taking so long — this conversation will meet you right where you are.

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 🌸
