The Living Story: Healing from Heartbreak, Finding Purpose, and Learning to Live Again
You have done the work. Read the books. Sat in the therapy chair. Said the prayers or maybe stopped saying them altogether. And something still is not landing.
You are not broken. You are not behind. You are in the middle of a chapter that is longer and harder than anyone told you it would be. You feel stuck between who you were and who you are still becoming. And you are looking for someone who has been exactly where you are.
Welcome to The Living Story.
Hosted by Tennille Martinez, a teacher, storyteller, and woman of faith, this is a podcast for women in their 30s and 40s navigating healing, identity, heartbreak, and the long journey of finding themselves again after loss, divorce, depression, and the kind of pain that changes everything.
Each episode weaves together personal testimony, scripture, and honest spiritual conversation for women who are done performing and ready to go deeper.
Whether you are healing after divorce, recovering from heartbreak, rebuilding your sense of worth and purpose after loss, walking through depression and faith at the same time, or simply trying to find yourself again after a season that left you unrecognizable, there is a chapter here for you.
This is not a podcast for women who have it together. This is a podcast for women who are still in the middle of it and need to know the middle is survivable.
Faith will meet you here exactly where you are. Even if you are not sure you believe anymore. Even if you are angry. Even if the last thing you expected was for God to show up in a chapter that looked like this.
If you have been searching for a podcast about healing, starting over, self-worth, identity, purpose, and becoming the woman you were created to be, you just found it.
The chapters you least understand are often the ones that change everything.
You don't just read stories. You are one.
