Sherrie Evans grew up in foster care, with more than 47 placements across two states, always searching for a love that felt safe. She found it, lost it, and found it again through faith, marriage, and eventually motherhood. But nothing prepared her for losing two of her children to fentanyl-laced overdoses within six months of each other other.I In this conversation, Sherrie shares what it's like to carry grief that never fully goes away, why she refuses to let shame or stigma have the final word for families touched by addiction, and how she turned unimaginable loss into Legacy of Hope: a project offering healing retreats, advocacy for foster kids, and a place for grieving mothers to say their children's names out loud. This episode is for anyone who has ever needed to borrow someone else's hope for a while. Sherrie reminds us: it never goes away, but it does become less invasive, and there is still light on the other side.  Content note: this episode includes discussion of child abuse, addiction, and loss of a child.

Lindsey Korell built a successful career by pushing hard, taking on more, and believing she could keep going. Then a heart attack stopped everything. What followed was not only physical recovery but also a deeper reckoning with the life she had created, the pace she had normalized, and how little room she had left for herself. In this conversation, Lindsey shares what it looked like to rebuild from the inside out, rethink her relationship with work, and learn that rest is not something we earn after everything else is done. It is part of how we care for ourselves. We talk about slowing down, creating structure that supports your life, recognizing your limits before your body forces you to, and what can change when you begin asking a different question: Not “How much more can I carry?” but “What kind of life do I actually want to live?” This is a conversation about wake-up calls, rebuilding, and choosing a way forward that leaves room for you, too.

What if the thing that made you feel different was actually your gift all along? In this episode, I sit down with Andrea, the artist behind Revolution A, to talk about growing up on the autism spectrum, years of being bullied and misunderstood, and how art became the one place she could finally breathe.  Andrea opens up about numbing her pain with alcohol for fifteen years, and the moment she chose sobriety and herself, even before she felt fully healed. This conversation is a gentle reminder that you don't have to wait until you're "fixed" to create something beautiful, be seen, or start over. Andrea's story shows that even our darkest seasons can become the most colorful ones and that being different was never something to hide.

Gentle hypnosis is a guided relaxation technique that helps people create positive life changes by working with the subconscious mind. It is commonly used to support emotional healing, reduce stress, shift limiting beliefs, and help release unwanted habits. In a calm, focused state, the mind becomes more open to positive suggestions that encourage healthier thinking patterns and lasting personal growth. In this episode, we explain how gentle hypnosis works and debunk common myths about hypnosis, including misconceptions about control and awareness. I also share my personal testimony after experiencing hypnosis with Colleen, what the session felt like, and the changes I noticed afterward. This conversation offers clear insight into how hypnosis can support healing, clarity, and lasting change.

There’s a version of the adoption conversation that feels too small, too rushed, and too boxed into false either-or choices. So we made space for something deeper: Tammy Tuttle’s story of “the third choice” and the long, faith-led road that brought her daughter, Remy, home. Tammy is a mother of five who started with a simple desire to adopt, then spent years learning patience through closed doors, doubts, and the kind of waiting that tests your peace.  We talk through what adoption actually looks like on the ground: overseas adoption barriers, domestic infant adoption realities, and the practical steps that matter most, including contacting local family adoption attorneys, completing a home study, and getting adoption paperwork finished before an opportunity appears. Tammy shares the moment she finally surrendered the desire to God, asking for it to be removed if it wasn’t meant for their family, and waking up with a calm confidence she couldn’t manufacture. Then everything changes with one phone call and an impossible timeline. Tammy tells the birth story that still brings her to tears: meeting Savannah, receiving an invitation into the delivery room, and witnessing the courage it takes for a birth mother to choose adoption. We also explore what people rarely say out loud, including the grief adoptive parents can feel for a birth mom after leaving the hospital, and the surprising, beautiful bond that can grow even when an adoption begins as “closed.” Tammy closes with how she tells Remy her adoption story with love, why Remy’s compassion matters, and the scripture that reshaped how she sees adoption.

If you’ve ever wondered how one moment can shape a lifetime or how healing begins after something you didn’t choose, this conversation will meet you there.

Have you ever felt a quiet whisper telling you to trust something bigger than yourself… even when it makes no logical sense? What if religion and spirituality were never meant to compete, but to walk side by side? In this episode of The Healing in Sharing, Jennifer “Jen” Lee sits down with intuitive and spiritual guide Jax, a woman who learned to trust the whisper long before the miracle appeared. Jax received a message she couldn’t ignore: sell the house, leave New Jersey, and start fresh. She trusted it, packed up her life with her husband, and stepped into the unknown. But just as a new chapter was about to begin, everything changed. Her husband fell nearly thirty feet at work and ended up in the hospital, turning their leap of faith into a test of endurance overnight. Instead of letting fear dominate, Jax leaned further into faith, healing practices, and the power of words. In this conversation, she explains Reiki and energy work in simple terms and how they can support the body’s healing alongside practical tools like physical therapy, anti-inflammatory nutrition, meditation, and intentional speech. The words we repeat about ourselves—strength, hope, capability—shape the outcome more than we realize. Jax also shares what it looks like to build a life where religion and spirituality hold hands. From navigating an interfaith marriage to creating a kosher home rooted in respect and clarity, she shows how two belief systems can coexist without losing personal truth. If you’ve ever wrestled with faith and spirituality, questioned your intuition, or wondered if healing can come from both tradition and personal connection to the divine, this episode offers a powerful reminder: it doesn’t have to be either/or. Sometimes, the answer is both.  You don’t have to carry it alone. Start with a conversation.  Learn more: www.thehealinginsharing.com Jen Lee Listens: Private listening support for women.
