Turning Pain into Purpose through Faith: Breaking the Cycle of Generational Trauma with Angel Gaddis

Breakfast of Choices

On today’s episode of Breakfast of Choices, I’m thrilled to welcome my guest, Angel Gaddis, to the show. Angel's story of overcoming addiction, childhood trauma, and finding purpose through her faith is truly inspiring. Growing up, Angel faced emotional neglect from her mother and abandonment from her father due to his drug addiction. This left her feeling lost, hopeless, and searching for fulfillment through unhealthy coping mechanisms like alcohol and sex.
However, Angel's journey is one of redemption. Through her unwavering faith in God, she found the strength to break free from her addictions and start the process of healing. Angel wrote a book called "The Innocence of a Guilty Victim" to share her story and offer hope to others who have experienced similar struggles. She is now passionate about using her experiences to inspire young women, speaking at events and workshops to help them break free from generational cycles of trauma and pain.
I was deeply moved by Angel's vulnerability and resilience. Her willingness to own her mistakes and forgive herself is truly inspiring. Together, Angel and I discuss the importance of turning our pain into purpose, no matter how dark the circumstances may seem. We encourage listeners to seek help, find their faith, and never give up on their dreams. Angel's story is a testament to the power of hope, healing, and the transformative impact of sharing our stories with others.
