What happens when a life begins with abandonment? Gloria Wiebe's story starts with being placed in a box in a snowbank as a newborn—rejected by a family consumed by religious shame. But that first act of rejection would neither define nor defeat her.

Gloria takes us on an unforgettable journey through abandonment, trauma, and ultimately, profound healing. She shares the pivotal moment when, as a young mother, she looked at her children and made the decision to break free from destructive patterns. "Gloria, get up, stand up, shake it off now, change your life," she told herself—a declaration that marked the beginning of her transformation.

The conversation delves deep into how trauma moves through generations, creating patterns of shame and unhealthy relationships that can persist for decades. Gloria explains how writing her chapter for "Beautiful, Broken and Becoming" forced her to unearth memories so deeply buried she wasn't even aware they existed. With raw honesty, she describes choosing pen and paper over digital tools, needing to channel her emotions from heart to hand to page physically.

Now living back in her hometown of Newfoundland, where her story began, Gloria has dedicated herself to helping other women heal more quickly than she did. Her mission stems from profound wisdom: trauma isn't something to get over, but something to work through and integrate into your story. This perspective allows for true healing and growth.

Gloria's message resonates with hopeful determination: "You are worth it. You are so much stronger than you think." Her story proves that resilience isn't just about surviving difficulty—it's about transforming pain into purpose and breaking cycles that have persisted for generations.

Join us for this powerful conversation about reclaiming your voice, breaking generational chains, and discovering the strength that lies within even the most painful beginnings.
