What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In this heartfelt episode, Tanya Gioia welcomes Lalonna West, an inspiring educational leader and author, to share her transformative journey from a painful marriage to finding purpose and peace through faith. Lalonna candidly discusses her decision to leave a 25-year marriage, driven by a need for personal growth and spiritual fulfilment.
She shares how she found solace in her 'war room,' a space for prayer and reflection, where she developed a deeper relationship with God. Through anecdotes about divine signs like feathers, Lalonna reveals how she learned to trust in God's plan, even when financial security seemed uncertain. Lalonna's story is one of resilience and faith, highlighting the power of letting go of what no longer serves us to embrace a future filled with potential.
Tanya and Lalonna discuss the importance of setting healthy boundaries, finding strength in vulnerability, and the role of community in healing. With humour and grace, they explore how small victories can lead to significant transformations. This episode is a testament to the power of faith in overcoming life's challenges. It encourages listeners to lean into God's promises and find joy in the journey of self-discovery and healing.
So grab a cup of tea, get comfy, and prepare to be inspired by Lalonna's story of faith, healing, and purpose. Could this be the nudge you need to create your own space for reflection and growth?
