Amiga Arise | Awaken Faith, Heal Trauma & Find Purpose

Priscilla Gomez | LCSW, Christian Life Coach, Mental Health Therapist

Hola Amiga, welcome to the Amiga Arise Podcast. I am Priscilla Gomez, your host and hopefully an Amiga for a journey of learning, growing and thriving. I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist with a trauma history of my own, but I was transformed by the call that God has placed on my life, and I am here to share how the clinical world taught me how to begin my healing process, but ultimately only God was able to heal the darkest areas of my past. I know you are tuning in because, Amiga, you are smart, successful, driven, ambitious, but yet there seems to be something missing. You don’t understand why falling short feels so devastating, why the small things bother you, and why you can’t find peace and joy? Amiga, welcome! I can bet you have walked through dark paths yourself, and maybe you are wondering if God is even real, or why anyone should endure such suffering, and what your true purpose is here on earth. Amiga, I hear you! But if you are ready to take a deeper look, find freedom, and step into flourishing God’s way, I am here to lend a helping hand as you step into your healing and faith filled life!

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” - Marianne Williamson   Music: Alice Gomez https://www.alicegomezmusic.com
