#127 Vivien Needham on Finding Mental Wellness in Prayer and Guardian Angels In a recent heartfelt conversation, Justin sat down with Vivien to uncover an incredible yet heartbreaking story of her past. Her journey is a powerful testament to bravery, resilience, and the transformative power of faith. From enduring immense hardships to becoming a source of hope in her community, Vivien's story is nothing short of inspiring. Vivien's journey to America was driven by the hope for a better life, but the reality was far from the dream. Vivien’s early years in America were marked by spousal abuse. Trapped in a cycle of violence and silence, she was living in a constant state of fear and despair. The shame of her situation and the fear of stigma kept her silent, even as she grappled with the desire to honor her husband and stay true to her faith. Amidst the trauma, Vivien's faith became her anchor. She reflects on moments when she felt God's provision, which gave her the mental stability to endure and eventually rise above her circumstances. This realization was a turning point, allowing her to begin the process of healing and transformation. Her faith provided the strength she needed to maintain her sanity and find clarity in the midst of her struggles. Vivien's journey of healing involved finding compassion for her ex-husband. Her faith played a crucial role in softening her heart and helping her reconcile with her past. This inner change was essential for her to move forward and start a new chapter in her life. Vivien's courage shone through when she made the brave decision to leave her abusive marriage. She channeled her experiences into helping others, becoming deeply involved in her church and a local food pantry to support those in need. Through her actions, Vivien has become a Godly influence, demonstrating the power of faith and compassion. Vivien's story is a powerful reminder that everyone has a purpose, regardless of the trauma they might endure. Her story challenges us to use our experiences to make a positive impact on the world.
