Join host Tanya Gioia for an incredibly powerful conversation with AmiLynne "Babs" Carroll, a certified Holistic Practitioner and Holistic Life Coach who has transformed profound personal challenges into a ministry of hope and healing. After receiving an expiration date from doctors in 2007 and later experiencing a stroke that left her quadriplegic in 2022, AmiLynne shares how surrendering control led to her most fulfilling life yet.

In this deeply moving episode, AmiLynne reveals how we're not meant to change who we are, but rather remember who we've always been - God's perfect, whole, and complete children. She introduces practical tools like the "Yellow Light Process" and explains why taking "mommy timeouts" isn't selfish but essential stewardship of what God has given us.

From her journey through multiple cancer diagnoses to finding peace as a quadriplegic, AmiLynne's story demonstrates that our circumstances don't define our wholeness. Her nickname "Babs" (badass butterfly) came from courageously intervening in a domestic violence situation, embodying the truth that butterflies can fly even with 70% of their wings damaged.

This episode will challenge listeners to examine what they're trying to control that belongs to God, how to find their "soul sisters" for support, and why every situation contains both a lesson and a blessing. AmiLynne's vulnerability and wisdom offer hope for anyone feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or struggling to surrender control.

Key Takeaways for Listeners:

1. You are not broken and don't need fixing - you need remembering
2. Every situation contains both a lesson and a blessing
3. Control is an illusion; command centers require community
4. Self-care is stewardship, not selfishness
5. God is always present, especially when we feel most alone
6. Course corrections are normal and necessary in life's journey
7. 
   

We're butterflies - designed to fly even when damaged

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 🌸
