Summary
What if the anxiety, chronic illness, and emotional struggles you’re carrying are connected to deeper wounds in the soul?
In this powerful conversation, Susie Larson shares her deeply personal healing journey through childhood trauma, chronic illness, fear, and anxiety — and how God met her in the middle of it all.
An author, national speaker, and radio host, Susie opens up about surviving physical and emotional abuse, battling Lyme disease while raising three young children, and learning how unhealed trauma impacts the body, mind, and spirit. Together, we discuss why so many women live in survival mode, how fear affects our physiology, and what it looks like to finally face the lies keeping us stuck.
Susie shares how God revealed this life-changing truth to her:
“The storms reveal the lies we believe and the truth we need.”
If you’ve struggled with anxiety, chronic illness, emotional exhaustion, or feeling disconnected from yourself and from God, this episode offers hope, healing, and practical encouragement for the journey toward wholeness.
We also talk about:
- How fear impacts the brain and body
- Why women often suppress pain until it shows up physically
- Learning to listen to your body instead of pushing through
- The importance of counseling, rest, and emotional processing
- Renewing your mind and rewiring fear-based thought patterns
- Why God cares about your whole health: body, mind, and soul
How healing equips us to minister to a hurting world

| 0:00.0 | Hey, y'all, welcome back to the Don't Mom Alone podcast. |
| 0:10.3 | I'm your host, Heather McFadion, and this is the place where I get to walk alongside you |
| 0:14.0 | and connect you with people and resources so you know that you don't mom alone. |
| 0:19.3 | This year, we're doing something special. |
| 0:21.8 | Once a month, we are republishing a top 10 episode, and this is one of them. It's with Susie Larson. It first aired in |
| 0:29.3 | September of 2018, and it's a powerful conversation that reminds us that healing is possible. |
| 0:38.7 | Scar tissue from our past hinders our process and our progress into the future. |
| 0:44.2 | It just does. |
| 0:45.2 | And we're so attached to past trauma without sorting through it. |
| 0:49.2 | It's like, well, as soon as we want to move forward, we want to dream again. |
| 0:51.7 | The enemy just, I kind of liken it to a big canvas of your past and it's brittle and he just puts it in your pathway and you're about to go to a new place of promise and then this thing of your past is in front of you and you think it's too much for me and you turn back and you go another way. But I just say like the football players who blasts through the banner when they come onto the football field, |
| 1:15.1 | you've got to press through it. And you can't do that alone. Most often you need a prayer counselor, a mentor, someone like you or licensed counselor, a Christian counselor who can help you press through |
| 1:20.6 | the scar tissue because there is life on the other side. And it is time for us to break through |
| 1:25.3 | everything that's hindering us because there are spaces that God wants us to occupy. And it is possible for us to break through everything that's hindering us because there are spaces |
| 1:28.1 | that God wants us to occupy and it is possible for us to find healing in those places we never thought |
| 1:33.7 | possible. Susie is an author of radio hosts and a national speaker and today she and are talking |
| 1:39.5 | through stories in her book fully alive. I love, quote, pressing through the places of scars to get |
| 1:48.0 | to the places of promise. I often say when I speak to mom groups that motherhood brings to the |
| 1:54.6 | surface all the junk of our past so that we can take it to God and he can reveal the lies and also |
| 2:00.6 | reveal the truth so that we can walk into to God and he can reveal the lies and also reveal the truth so that we can walk |
| 2:03.3 | into places of freedom. And so I remember back when I interviewed Susie, I was so excited. You can |
