Episode Summary:

In this episode of If Only One Overcomes, we’re diving into something that often gets overlooked after trauma, loss, betrayal, or hardship: the relationship we have with ourselves.

“Fear may rise up, but it does not get to lead you.”

After trauma, betrayal, loss, or long seasons of hardship, fear often becomes a silent companion. It shows up in our decisions, our relationships, and even our faith. But what if fear doesn't have to be the end of your story?

In today’s episode, Katie Lee explores how trauma rewires our nervous system to expect danger—and how that fear can subtly influence everything from trust to healing. More importantly, she walks us through how to recognize, challenge, and overcome fear with truth, grace, and courage.

Whether you’ve been stuck in survival mode or simply afraid to try again, this episode is a gentle reminder that fear is not your identity—and it doesn’t get to write your next chapter.

• Why fear becomes our default after trauma and hardship
• How the brain and body respond to emotional pain
• What fear looks like in everyday life (even when we don’t notice it)
• How to confront fear with faith and move forward one step at a time
• Practical, scripture-based tools to help you break free from fear
