Heather Barba: Trusting The Unknown Path | The Hopeaholics Podcast

Heather Barba shares her powerful journey of resilience, faith, and transformation after battling addiction and loss. Adopted at a young age, she struggled with identity and self-worth, later turning to substance abuse following the deaths of both her adoptive parents to cancer. Searching for discipline and purpose, she found healing through bodybuilding, jiu-jitsu, and ultimately, her faith in God. In this episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast, Heather opens up about overcoming adversity, breaking destructive cycles, and using her experiences to inspire others to embrace personal growth. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about strength, healing, and faith.

Intentionally Disturbing

Intentionally Disturbing

Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
