Power Back Here
Power Back Here is a gently Christ‑centered, trauma‑informed podcast for survivors and couples healing from abusive and high‑control relationships, including harmful therapeutic, religious, spiritual and cult experiences. This is not “in your face” Christianity or clinical diagnosis language. Instead, each episode weaves nervous‑system science, honest spiritual experience, and the CASCADE framework to help you come back into your body and the present, receive Christ’s love without shame or fear, and reclaim your power to choose love—in your relationship with God, with yourself, and in the real‑life relationships and marriages you’re building now.

S1E1: Power Back Here — Who This Is For
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This is the starting place.
If you've been hurt by love, family, faith, or the systems meant to protect you—and you're done waiting for external justice or the perfect circumstances to start healing—this episode is for you.
Host Megan Conrad Anaya, MSW introduces the show, and her story of experiencing the power of the Reiki principle of Cho Ku Rei that became the turning point in her journey to heal from coercive control while navigating a disastrous divorce: place the power here, now.
Through the image of ripe peaches freely given, she unpacks why control and love cannot coexist—and what it means to bring your power back to yourself.
Power Back Here starts now. Let's go in.
Power Back Here exists for the individual or couple ready to stop living in survival mode — and start choosing something entirely different.
This is the work of recognizing your trauma patterns, reclaiming your nervous system, and rebuilding the capacity to trust and develop intimacy in the relationships that matter most — with the Divine, with yourself, and with others.
So many of us have learned to white-knuckle it alone — that people aren't safe — while desperately longing for connection, meaning, and the power to bring something uniquely ours into the world.
Jesus Christ is the center of this work — a living, relational anchor who makes it possible to face all of human reality, receive unconditional love, and then offer that love to others. Sovereign love isn't something we manufacture. It's something we choose to receive — and live from.
If this is resonating and you're ready to go deeper with an experienced guide — for yourself or your marriage — reach out at www.meganconradanaya.com and let's talk next steps.
We have the power to choose love, always. Power back here.
