Lessons in Discernment is a podcast about healing after emotional abuse—and learning to trust your truth again.
Hosted by Stéphanie St-Jean, a survivor, author and advocate, each episode explores the tender, transformative space between trauma and recovery through storytelling, reflection, and soul-deep conversations.
From EMDR to gaslighting, therapy to self-trust, this podcast is a place to examine the systems we’ve internalized, the language we’ve inherited, and the stories we’re ready to rewrite. Because the most powerful voice in your healing journey is your own.
