Are you walking through a family estrangement from your own mother, father or maybe even entire family? Have you tried pouring out your heart, from the depths of your soul, just to be left unheard time and time again? Have you spent years, maybe even your whole life, feeling unloved, unwanted and all alone even if your parents were right next to you? Do thoughts of 'Will I ever be enough?' or 'Do I even matter?' cross your mind? I want to start off by saying I'm so sorry you are walking through this. You matter and you are more than enough! This podcast will help you see that you are fully loved, never alone and always chosen every. single. time. in the name of Jesus Christ! Hi, I'm Brittany Hall! A mother, wife, and follower of Christ. I was just a small girl when my dad walked away the first time and only 7 days postpartum, with my first child, when my mom walked away too. After going through an extremely traumatic birth experience, and even more traumatic family experience, I had no choice, but to protect my marriage and my child from the generational trauma I was experiencing in the present day. This wasn't about a single event or wounds of the past, but rather a harmful family system that was still alive and active in the present day. I know the pain all too well of feeling unloved, unwanted, unseen and unheard by not one, but both of my parents, all while learning how to be a new parent myself. Not only did this estrangement affect the relationship I had with my parents, but it also unexpectedly, affected my relationships with the entire family dynamic. To say I felt loneliness, isolation and postpartum depression, would be an understatement. All at once, my world was crashing all around me. And no matter how hard my husband cared for me, loved me, and supported me, it still wasn't enough to fill the deep void of my entire family's absence.But through this pain…  I ran to God! Through deception, betrayal and persecution, from my own biological family… I ran to Jesus. And he taught me… What a beautiful, eternal father and mother our Lord really is! One of… unconditional, parental love, with wholeness and peace, consistency and stability, predictability and care. A parent that loves me, sees me and hears my cries. This is our God.Psalms 27:10, it says: 'Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me.' God will not do what your parents did. God will not do what worldly family dysfunction has. And generational chains will break in the name of Jesus! So if you're ready to experience this type of love, to have Christ-centered healing that will transform your life, and finally stop doing it all on your own -- then open your bible and let's purely surrender together, at the feet of Jesus.  more

I'm Anna Runkle, also known as the Crappy Childhood Fairy, and I teach people to recognize and heal the symptoms of Childhood Trauma. Welcome to my podcast!I'm not a doctor or therapist; I know about childhood trauma because I lived it, and I discovered a radical approach to healing that focuses first on calming neurological dysregulation, which is common in people who grew up with abuse and neglect. In my podcasts, I teach about dysregulation how to know if you have it, what it can do to your body, your thinking and your relationships, and what to do to master re-regulation. When I learned this, everything in my life got suddenly easier. I'll also be teaching you to heal the life problems that so often develop after years of living dysregulated feeling tired, isolated and unfocused, finding yourself always drawn to unavailable and inappropriate partners, and falling WAY short of your professional potential, for example. The thing about me is, traditional therapies never seemed to help me. When I found techniques that did work, my whole life changed. Only in the past few years has the trauma research caught up to explain why why the techniques I use worked, why therapy didn't, and why my healing journey was so unnecessarily long. I've been teaching what I learned for more than 20 years now. It started with friends who had noticed the quick and dramatic change in me, and gradually grew by word of mouth. In 2016, I had so many people seeking instruction that I made my first online video, and then an online course, and this is how Crappy Childhood Fairy was born. My techniques and principles are practical yet powerful an approach anyone can use, whether or not you have access to professional help. In this podcast, I'll be talking about the master of self-regulation, and teach the tough-love life-lessons that you may not have learned at home like how to date so that stable love finds you, how to get ahead at work, and how to calm the negative hamster-wheel thoughts that block your ability to connect with other people. Today, almost half a million people follow my work and participate in my training and coaching programs. My mission is to change the paradigm of what's possible for people like us, and to help you free yourself from the oppression of trauma wounds, and to become your full, happy and real self. I'm glad you're here! Watch new videos on my YouTube channel every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and access my videos, courses and free tools at crappychildhoodfairy.com. more
