In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Melanie Chavez—host of the Christian Women Healing Trauma Podcast, Certified Trauma Coach, and founder of the Christian Women Healing Trauma Community. Melanie is on a mission to help women heal from their past and walk in the freedom Christ offers. Through her 12-week program, Surrender to Heal Academy, and her 50 Life-Changing Journal Prompts for Healing, she’s equipping women with the tools they need to surrender their pain and find purpose.
We dive into Melanie’s personal story, including the chaos and childhood trauma she experienced growing up. Together, we explore the path to overcoming generational trauma, breaking free from people-pleasing, and learning to live rooted in God’s truth. Melanie shares what it really means to surrender—through prayer, reading God’s Word, and surrounding yourself with a positive, Christ-centered community—whether that’s a church, small group, or online space.
This episode is full of truth, encouragement, and hope for anyone seeking healing and restoration. God is with you, and there is freedom on the other side of surrender.

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.
