PART 2 with Vanessa Cruz
Season 2 EP. 9 From ashes to beauty—God redeems every part of our story.
In this unforgettable episode of Hanging with the Fabiens, we continue the conversation with our dear friend Vanessa Cruz- a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, U.S. Marine Corps veteran, wife, and mother- as she opens up about healing from childhood abuse, navigating infertility due to PCOS, and finding redemption in love and marriage. She shares how God healed her infertility and worked a miracle.
Melody and CD also become very vulnerable and share how Vanessa’s counseling helped unlock deep healing in their own life and marriage. The body keeps the score and we discuss how GOD cares for our body and desires to heal it from the trauma.
This episode is a powerful reminder that God doesn’t waste anything—not the trauma, not the tears, not even the silence.
He turns ashes into beauty. He turns pain into purpose. Keep the tissue close and maybe even a journal.
