While we cannot undo or erase our painful traumatic experiences, we certainly learn from these experiences. In this episode, Anh and Aileen discuss how we can heal from our traumas, the importance of trauma therapy, and use your pain to help you find your internal strength to evolve into the healed and whole version of yourself to live a full life. 



Anh Lin is an interior stylist, founder of the faith and lifestyle blog Girl and the Word, and the creator of a video devotional series called The Abundant Life and the author of the new Christian nonfiction, Forever Home: Moving Beyond Brokenness to Build a Strong and Beautiful Life.
