Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of alcoholism, emotional abuse, and grief. Please listen with care.Description:This week’s episode is a deeply moving and empowering conversation with Gina Economopoulos, a resilient, faith-filled woman who has walked a winding road of identity, loss, and healing. Gina shares her powerful story of breaking away from toxic environments, rediscovering her faith after being emotionally abused within a religious institution, and learning how to set healthy boundaries.As the seventh of eight siblings, Gina grew up battling health issues and self-esteem challenges, turning to alcohol to cope. Known as "the life of the party," she wore that label like armor until grief struck and forced a shift in her path. After losing her mother to cancer, she pursued God wholeheartedly, becoming a Catholic nun for over a decade, only to be removed from the convent under painful circumstances.But Gina’s story didn’t end in despair—it evolved into a journey of self-discovery, radical self-love, and purposeful living. Now grounded in her truth, Gina uses her compassionate heart to serve others while nurturing her own peace and boundaries. What You’ll Learn in This Episode:How alcohol masked deeper emotional pain and insecurityThe connection between unresolved grief and identity strugglesThe role of faith in recovery and personal transformationWhy setting boundaries is essential to emotional healingHow to rebuild after being emotionally abused in spiritual spacesHow to ask the empowering question: "Why not me?" instead of "Why me?" Reflection Prompt:Ask yourself: What do I truly want? and give yourself permission to answer honestly.
