In this heartfelt episode of Faith Over Addiction, host Tanya Gioia shares a powerful story about her son’s mistake at summer camp and the unexpected lesson it revealed about unconditional love. When faced with consequences for his actions, her son struggled to understand why Tanya responded with kindness instead of anger. This moment became an opportunity to demonstrate the difference between God’s grace and the pressure of performance-based love.

Tanya dives into biblical wisdom, reflecting on Jesus' response to the woman caught in adultery, and unpacks how we often tie our worth to how well we meet expectations. Drawing from the teachings of Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend, she explores the exhaustion of performance love and how true, unconditional love frees us from the fear of failure.

Tune in to discover how embracing grace—both for ourselves and our loved ones—can transform our relationships and bring us closer to God's heart.

Are you caught in the chaos of addiction, constantly cleaning up emotional, spiritual, and physical messes that aren't yours? Welcome to Faith Over Addiction, where faith meets real life. Hosted by Family Recovery Coach Tanya Gioia, this podcast is designed to offer Christian women hope, healing, and practical tools to navigate the challenges of loving someone with addiction.

Through biblical truths, heartfelt stories, and actionable guidance, you’ll learn how to set healthy boundaries, find peace in the mess, and reclaim your God-given identity. You don’t have to carry what was never meant to be yours. It’s time to shift from “this is happening to me” to “this is happening for me,” and let God transform the chaos into something that glorifies Him.

Every week, I’m here to encourage you, offer clarity, and remind you that as a daughter of the King, You Always Have Other Options (YAHOO). Together, we’ll embrace faith as the foundation, boundaries as the bridge to healing, and God’s truth as the ultimate guide to freedom, strength, and grace.

Blessings,

Tanya Gioia 🌸
