Have you ever wondered how someone can transform the deepest pain into their greatest strength? Simone Fairchild, a survivor turned advocate and force for good, shares how she has transformed her pain into purpose, with me, Karen Hall, the host of The Hero Within Podcast.
In part 1 of 2, she describes her extraordinary story of overcoming domestic abuse and empowering others to reclaim their life. Symone's candor about her past abuse and her path to healing, intertwined with spiritual awakening is an inspiration.
We dive into the creation of Eye On DV, Symone's nonprofit dedicated to eradicating domestic violence, and how her personal triumphs showcase her divine resilience and empathy, gifts from God.
In this heartfelt exchange, we discuss the power of forgiveness and love in the difficult but rewarding process of forgiving an abuser. In forgiving, we liberate ourselves. Our discussion opens a window to the notion that hate can poison from within and that understanding an abuser's inability to love can pave the way for forgiveness , albeit from a safe distance. Thank you for listening, for your engagement and for your support to share our healing messages!

Listen as she recounts the challenging discussions she had with her husband and how they both traversed the landscape of grief in their unique ways.

Hi!
I’m Karen Hall, Host of The Hero Within Podcast.
Today our guest Jacqueline Baird continues her colorful journey to motherhood as she and her husband, Josh, intentionally chose children again and again throughout their marriage, despite the many sacrifices they both made.
If you haven't heard Part 1, click here to listen to the first part of their story, starting with their love story and desire to have several children.

Today in Part 2, Jacqueline continues sharing the unexpected twists and turns, heartbreak and trauma, as well miracles and how these experiences impacted her and her husband in their marriage.
She shares how they each grieved differently and it led to some conflict that they had to work through. At times, they weren't on the same page regarding children, as they previously had been.
But as they focused on their blessings, they grew in gratitude towards parenting and this helped them gain perspective during the normal annoyances in family life.
Despite all the struggles, they grew closer and more unified. Their love for each other deepened and they knew that family is what life is all about and they were willing to make additional sacrifices.
Jacqueline explains how having children was their number one goal and it's what brought them joy in this life. Eventually, they exhausted all options and they turned to surrogacy in hopes of adding another child to their family.
Have you and your spouse had any challenges or conflict in your decision to have children? What did you learn?
I'd love to hear your thoughts and our guests sure value your feedback too! We really appreciate it! Also, please follow to be alerted to upcoming episodes.
