Episode 11: Natalie Marnocha Part 1

Today’s episode will be part one of a two-parter where I’m joined by my wife Natalie, who will share her pre-recovery story of how sexual assault shattered her sense of self and led her into a spiral of even further physical, emotional and sexual abuse before God provided a way out. But, like most stories, she found that initial trauma isn’t where the pain ends. She’ll also share what life was like dealing with the aftermath of such a traumatic period of her life and how she was able to find healing and freedom. We’ll also discuss how her sexual trauma effected our marriage and our experiences working through it. 

I have to put a warning on this episode before we start however. There will be sexual and physical abuse discussed that may be triggering for some people. We’ll also be discussing sex and intimacy in the context of marriage. While we definitely made our best effort to be as delicate and tasteful as we could discussing these topics, some folks might find it too graphic all the same. It is NOT our intention to be shocking or controversial. We just believe these things should be discussed in a mature manner. 

Disclaimer: While we absolutely DO encourage our guests to share from their experiences in their recovery programs, no one is a spokesperson or representative of the recovery programs they choose to share their experiences from.
