Episode Details

Alexis sits down with Catherine, a salon owner whose life has taken more unexpected turns than most. Catherine opens up about childhood sexual abuse, running from a painful past into an early marriage that ended in divorce, and a wild season that took her from nursing school to cosmetology to becoming the first female firefighter in her county. She shares how she met her husband, the fear she carried into that relationship, and how the two of them ended up healing together instead of one waiting on the other. Catherine gets honest about celebrate recovery, working through the 12 steps multiple times, and learning how to parent her daughter Lacey without passing down her own trauma. This conversation is raw, hopeful, and full of reminders that God can use every unexpected turn in your story, even the ones that do not make sense until later.
