Surviving Was Only the Beginning | Andrea Coles

In this powerful episode of The Biblically RestoHERd Show, I sit down with Andrea Coles to talk about resilience, faith, healing, identity, motherhood, grief, confidence, and what it means to keep living after experiencing unimaginable hardship.!!!!! Andrea shares her story of surviving domestic violence and attempted sexual assault, navigating serious health challenges, experiencing the loss of her husband, and continuing to move forward despite everything she has endured.!!!!! But this conversation isn't only about what happened to Andrea. It’s about who she chose to become afterward.!!!!! Instead of allowing pain to make her bitter or disconnected, Andrea chose to continue loving deeply, encouraging other women, and creating spaces where women can feel safe, valued, and seen.!!!!! We also talk about her 86-pound weight-loss journey, rebuilding confidence, motherhood, raising her daughter Ariana, embracing bonus daughters, and rediscovering the woman she always was.!!!!! This conversation explores: • Surviving trauma and domestic violence • Faith after hardship • Healing and resilience • Grief and loss • Rebuilding confidence • Motherhood and family • Identity after trauma • Personal transformation • Learning to love and live again • Becoming the woman God created you to be Andrea's story is a powerful reminder that what happened to you matters but it does not have to define who you become.!!!!! 💬 Have you ever had to rebuild your life after something tried to break you?
