Lessons in Discernment
Lessons in Discernment is a podcast about healing after emotional abuse—and learning to trust your truth again.
Hosted by Stéphanie St-Jean, a survivor, author and advocate, each episode explores the tender, transformative space between trauma and recovery through storytelling, reflection, and soul-deep conversations.
From EMDR to gaslighting, therapy to self-trust, this podcast is a place to examine the systems we’ve internalized, the language we’ve inherited, and the stories we’re ready to rewrite. Because the most powerful voice in your healing journey is your own.

When The Conversation Pauses: Healing, Waiting and Trusting the Timing
This solo episode wasn’t the one I originally planned—but maybe it’s the one I was meant to record.
After a delayed interview with a special guest, I sat with the discomfort of the pause and uncovered something deeper: the sacredness of the in-between.
In this reflection, I explore what it means to trust yourself when timelines shift, how healing rarely happens on schedule, and why your voice is enough—even when it shakes, even when it stands alone.
