Surviving Emotional Abuse & Rebuilding Your Identity | Heather Justice
Description
Heather Justice is an author, speaker, and host of the Between the Now and The Next podcast. After surviving an emotionally abusive relationship, she turned her pain into purpose — helping women heal, set boundaries, and rediscover their identity through faith.
This is a conversation about truth, healing, and what it really takes to rebuild yourself after something that almost broke you.
In this raw and hopeful conversation, Heather shares:
• How she saw herself and relationships before the abuse
• What young women are often not taught about love and self-worth
• The cycle of love-bombing, devaluation, discard, and breadcrumbing
• How emotional abuse rewires the brain like an addiction
• Why self-worth must be rooted deeper than any relationship
• Rebuilding identity, setting boundaries, and healing through faith
If you’re in your 20s navigating relationships, questioning your self-worth, or recovering from emotional abuse, this episode offers clarity, validation, and a path forward.
