This Monday on the Sex for Saints Podcast, I sit down with author and speaker Crystal Veney, who knows this truth firsthand. Crystal grew up in Philadelphia, and life changed forever when her mother was introduced to drugs at just 28 years old. From that point on, addiction took over her home, leaving Crystal to fend for herself, steal food stamps just to survive, and raise her siblings while trying to navigate childhood. Now, Crystal shares her powerful story of survival, resilience, and faith—showing how trauma doesn’t just fade away. It shows up in relationships, marriages, and the way people see themselves. But she also proves that restoration is possible, and that your story doesn’t have to end where your pain began.

Don’t miss Living Out the Symptoms of Trauma—dropping this Monday.
