What once helped us survive doesn’t always serve us forever—and learning to recognize that shift can feel both brave and unsettling.<br/><br/>We get real about the signs you’ve lost yourself, what that actually feels like in your day-to-day life, and the quiet moments where you realize something isn’t aligned anymore. And then—what it looks like to begin peeling back the layers and reconnecting with the parts of you that were never meant to stay hidden.<br/><br/>We also talk about faith, healing, and the tension of asking, “Where were you?”—in the moments we felt abandoned by God or by the people who should have protected us. What does it look like to work through that? To begin healing? To even consider forgiveness?<br/><br/>This is a conversation about survival, self-protection, and ultimately, returning home to your higher powers and yourself—with more truth, more compassion, and more freedom than you’ve felt in a long time.<br/><br/>For more information on Sojourner Family Peace Center: https://familypeacecenter.org/<br/><br/>To get your copy of Journey from the Ashes: https://www.amazon.com/Journey-Ashes-Devotional-Erica-Gumieny/dp/B0FXBL81GR<br/><br/><br/>GUEST:  Carmen Pitre<br/>https://familypeacecenter.org/<br/><br/><br/>HOST:  Erica Gumieny<br/>http://www.yourpivotalpoint.com<br/>https://www.facebook.com/yourpivotalpoint<br/>https://www.instagram.com/YourPivotalPoint<br/>https://youtube.com/@thefunnykind?si=4oC1Ar66Dt1qDjV9<br/><br/><br/></p><p><em>The Funny Kind</em>™ with Erica Gumieny is where humor meets inspiration!</p><p>In each episode, Erica shares insightful and light-hearted conversations that explore life&apos;s ups and downs and the importance of spirituality and laughter on the journey. </p><p>Whether it’s a solo reflection or a conversation with a special guest, you’ll walk away feeling motivated and uplifted.</p><p>Want to connect, collaborate, or learn more?
