In Part 2 of Christy’s powerful testimony, Melissa and Christy dive into what happens after the breakthrough moment. Now living sober and walking with Jesus, Christy opens up about the battle to set boundaries, avoid toxic relationships, and walk out her healing—one difficult step at a time.

You’ll hear real talk about spiritual attacks, savior complexes, and the painful realities of rebuilding trust with family—especially with children who carry deep wounds. With honesty and humility, Christy reflects on her struggle to stop “rescuing” others and start truly surrendering to God’s direction for her life.

Melissa also offers powerful coaching insights and encouragement for anyone in a season of refining. If you've ever tried to help someone who wasn’t ready, or you're trying to break free from old patterns yourself, this episode will speak straight to your heart.
