About this listen

What happens when you finally leave an abusive marriage — but your body still lives in fear?


In Episode 10 of Failure Into Freedom, Katie shares what it was like when her abusive ex-husband was unexpectedly released on parole during COVID — despite a protective order and sole custody.


This episode dives deep into:

• PTSD after domestic violence

• Why freedom doesn’t always feel like peace

• How trauma lives in the nervous system

• Parole violations, stalking, and survival mode

• Healing triggers through faith and safety

• God’s protection when danger hasn’t fully passed


If you’ve ever wondered why leaving didn’t instantly heal you, this episode will help you understand your body, your fear, and your healing journey — without shame.


Katie also shares how God brought unexpected covering and safety during one of the most triggering seasons of her life, and why community matters when you’re rebuilding after abuse.
