Surviving Toxic Relationships Podcast
Deana and Lizzie are two women whose lives unexpectedly crossed through a shared past with the same emotionally abusive partner. From that pain came Surviving Toxic Relationships—a faith-based podcast about truth, healing, and empowerment after emotional and relational abuse.
Grounded in faith and guided by God’s grace, they share honest conversations about manipulation, betrayal, gaslighting, trauma bonding, and recovery. Their mission isn’t to label anyone—it’s to reveal the patterns of toxic relationships and show how healing and freedom are possible through faith.
Each episode invites listeners into a space of hope, restoration, and renewal—where women can rediscover their worth, rebuild their confidence, and walk boldly in freedom.
Their message is simple but powerful: Your past may shape you, but it doesn’t define you. Healing is possible.
