Survival in a Dysfunctional Home unpacks Ashtyn’s powerful and heart-rending journey growing up inside a family system marked by addiction, emotional instability, and generational dysfunction.
With a father consumed by alcoholism and a mother deeply codependent, often dissociative, shut down, and unable to function, Ashtyn was forced into a parental role far too early. She became the emotional and practical caregiver not only for her biological younger brother, but also for her younger adoptive brother, who depended on her for stability and protection.

While other children were learning, playing, and being nurtured, Ashtyn was cooking, comforting, problem-solving, and carrying responsibilities that shaped her entire sense of self. In this candid episode, she opens up about the trauma of being “the strong one,” the survival patterns her body learned, and what it truly feels like to break out of dysfunction and step into healing.

Her story will resonate with anyone who grew up raising siblings, managing chaotic households, or trying to survive the emotional fallout of adults who were never emotionally present.

From Posterchild of Tragedy to Testimony: The Story of Survival and Strength

In this powerful and deeply moving episode of Emerge and Empower Podcast TV, Dr. LinJ sits down with a remarkable guest whose life is a living testimony of resilience, redemption, and faith.

At just 11 years old, she wrote her first suicide letter. By 16, she had attempted suicide for the first time. Years of battling bipolar disorder, depression, PTSD, and social anxiety led her into cycles of addiction, loss, and pain that were rarely spoken about in her family. Yet through it all, God preserved her story for purpose.

Haunted by the loss of dear friends like Stepf, she eventually found her calling through those very tragedies, transforming grief into mission. As a multimedia artist, certified art therapy practitioner, and mental health advocate, she founded Project W.I.N.G.S. (We Inspire Nurture Guide and Support), a faith-based initiative dedicated to helping others navigate the storms of mental health and trauma with hope and healing.

In this episode, she opens her heart about survival, faith, and the courage it takes to be the voice for others still fighting in silence. Because her story, like so many others, is not over, it’s emerging.

Reclaiming the Body, Pleasure, and Power

For more than two decades, Xanet lived what appeared to be the perfect life, a thriving career, a lasting marriage, two grown children, yet her spirit and body were numb. For 26 years, she had shut down her voice, her pleasure, and her sense of self. 

What began as silence became a story of awakening. From childhood shame to medical gaslighting, from invasive procedures to emotional abandonment, she learned to disconnect from her own body just to survive. But through somatic therapy and embodied healing, she rediscovered her voice, her pleasure, and her power.

In this deeply honest episode, she opens up about what it means to live an orgasmic life, to come home to your body, reclaim your worth, and embrace divine joy without shame or fear.

This conversation invites every listener to remember: You are not broken. You were conditioned to disconnect. And healing begins the moment you choose to return to yourself.

In this heartfelt episode of Emerge & Empower Podcast TV, Dr. LinJ sits down with Gina Economopoulos, whose extraordinary journey spans childhood trauma, convent life, barrooms, and ultimately, grace.

Born into a vibrant Italian-Greek Catholic family in Syosset, New York, Gina’s life was marked by both love and hardship. After enduring multiple surgeries as a child, she developed resilience that would carry her through many unexpected turns. From a degree in social science to blending social work with bartending, Gina navigated different worlds with a heart for people.

Following her mother’s passing, she entered the convent, where she spent twelve years, before life led her down a path of love, loss, and ultimately, sobriety through Alcoholics Anonymous. Today, she serves as an End of Life Doula, bringing compassion and faith to others in their final chapters.
Gina’s story reminds us that grace can show up in the most unexpected places.

In this emotional and eye-opening episode of Emerge & Empower Podcast TV, Dr. LinJ speaks with Tina Erwin, retired Navy Commander, author, and grief guide.

For 20 years in the Navy, Tina carried the heavy responsibility of delivering news of sudden loss to military families. Nothing, however, could prepare her for when tragedy struck her own family. On March 14, 2003, Tina’s six-year-old niece passed away suddenly and unexpectedly while sitting beside her mother. Perfectly healthy and without warning, her death left Tina, her family, and the world watching in shock as the story spread across national news.

Out of this life-altering grief came Tina’s powerful book, The Lightworker’s Guide to Healing Grief. In it, she shares not only her personal journey but also the universal truth that everyone is grieving something. Tina’s mission is to help the living cope with loss by embracing the eternal truth that love lives forever.

From Pain to Transformation: LizBeth de Sá on Healing Through Internal Family Systems

In this episode of Emerge & Empower Podcast TV, Dr. LinJ welcomes LizBeth de Sá, educator, writer, and certified Level 3 Internal Family Systems (IFS) practitioner. Born in England to Indian parents navigating poverty and racism, LizBeth’s childhood was marked by both struggle and the seeds of resilience. Her love of learning carried her to Oxford, into a teaching career across four countries, and later through the challenges of divorce and loss.

It was in her deepest emotional pain that LizBeth discovered IFS therapy, a model that integrates meditation, self-awareness, and trauma healing. Now, as a practitioner and conflict mediator, she helps clients transform childhood wounds into portals for growth, joy, and wholeness.

Together, we explore:
• How IFS reveals the mind’s “parts” and the healing role of the Self.
• Why creativity, joy, and laughter are vital in recovery.
• How racial, cultural, and inherited trauma can be transformed.
• The spiritual dimensions of IFS and what it teaches about identity and healing.

LizBeth’s story is one of persistence, healing, and hope, showing us that even in brokenness, there is a path to fulfillment and joy.

🎙 Emerge and Empower Podcast TV – Shemergence Virtual Conference

Some people see silence as strength. But for many, silence has been a shield that hides trauma, pain, and truth, keeping healing just out of reach. In this powerful second session of the Shemergence Virtual Conference, we bring those hidden stories to light.

In this episode, we talk about what’s been buried under years of unspoken pain, how silence can feel like safety but actually prolongs suffering, and what it means to find your voice, not just for yourself, but for the healing of others.

“Your silence may protect others, but your voice will set you free.”

Welcome to the very first episode of the Shemergence Virtual Conference, leading into the launch of my book, Unholy at the Table. This series tackles the deeply personal and often hidden struggle of feeling unworthy, unworthy of healing, unworthy of love, unworthy of being seen.

In Session 1, our panel of incredible women; Brenda Winkle, Chef Dee, Mamina Das, and Pamela Hawkins, join me to share their raw and unfiltered stories. Together, we explore those moments when worth seemed out of reach, when pain spoke louder than hope, and when stepping into healing felt impossible.

Through truth-telling, vulnerability, and faith, each panelist responds to questions designed to peel back the layers and reveal how they moved from the shadows into the light. This isn’t just conversation,  it’s a reminder that healing is possible, love is available, and worth is not something we earn, it’s something we already have.

“Some healing happens in silence, in tears, in shadows. But it still counts.”
Join us as we begin this journey together, pulling up a seat at the table where stories meet grace, and healing begins.

🟣 Content Warning: This episode contains honest discussions about trauma, illness, and personal healing journeys. Listen with care.
